Toronto winters aren’t forgiving. When your furnace fails, you need heat restored fast and fixed right. Our GTA-certified technicians use commissioning-level diagnostics—gas pressure, flame micro-amps, temperature rise, and static pressure—to find the fault and the cause, so the issue doesn’t return.
Answer Capsule
No heat or weak heat? Power-cycle the furnace (5 minutes), replace the filter, open all vents/returns.
If it still fails or short-cycles, you likely have ignition/flame-sensing, pressure/limit, ECM blower, or static-pressure issues.
Book a same-day diagnostic—we measure gas pressure, flame micro-amps, temperature rise, and total external static to fix the fault and the cause.
Key Facts (Toronto/GTA homeowners)
Most urgent calls trace to ignition faults, flame sensor contamination, pressure/limit trips, or airflow restrictions.
Repeated lockouts = deeper issue; don’t keep resetting—get instruments on it.
Uneven rooms after a recent install are usually air distribution (returns/static/ECM setup), not the furnace itself.

Introduction: Fast Heat, Zero Guesswork
In a Toronto cold snap, every hour without heat feels like a day. That’s why homeowners search “furnace repair near me Toronto”—they need speed, accuracy, and proof the fix will last. Our commissioning-first process blends expert technicians with precise instruments: we measure, diagnose, and verify with before/after numbers you can see. If your furnace is down—or just underperforming—our GTA team delivers 24/7 emergency and same-day repairs backed by clear pricing and written warranties.
Why Homeowners Search “Furnace Repair Near Me Toronto”
When the house dips below comfortable, two things matter: restore heat quickly and prevent repeat breakdowns. Many service calls stop at the failed component. We go further, tracing the upstream cause—airflow, venting, wiring, controls, or commissioning settings—so you don’t end up paying for the same problem twice. That’s the difference between a part replacement and a root-cause repair.
Common Symptoms We Resolve Quickly
Starts then stops (short-cycles): Often a limit or pressure switch trying to protect the system.
Blower runs but air is cold: Ignition failure, flame proving/grounding, or incorrect fan/heat staging.
Burner lights then goes out: Intermittent flame signal or grounding, dirty sensor, or gas pressure swings.
Error code flashes / hard lockouts: Board diagnostics point to pressure/limit, rollout, or communication issues.
Overnight outages that self-clear: Condensate or venting restrictions that vary with temperature/wind.
What We Test
Combustion & ignition
Hot-surface igniter checks, flame sensor micro-amps, grounding integrity.
Confirms safe, reliable light-off and steady flame.
Safety & airflow
Temperature rise, total external static pressure, limit/rollout status.
Validates that ducts, filter rack, and coil aren’t choking the system.
Venting & condensate (high-efficiency units)
Pressure switch operation, tubing, condensate traps and drains.
Eliminates nuisance shut-offs from waterlogging or iced terminations.
Controls & communication
Board voltages, thermostat calls, staging, ECM/PSC profiles and speeds.
Aligns airflow to real duct conditions for quieter, even heat.
By instrumenting your system, we fix today’s failure and tune the system to run within design specs—saving energy, reducing noise, and improving comfort.
Fast Fixes We Do Daily—Done Right the First Time
Ignition & flame proving
Clean/replace the flame sensor, verify micro-amp signal stability, check igniter resistance, correct grounding.
Airflow & limits
Correct high temperature rise and limit trips at the source: right-sized filter rack, proper grille free area, clean coil, smart transitions, proper blower profile.
Pressure switch & venting
Replace brittle tubing, clear/prime traps, remove ice/debris at sidewall terminations, confirm slope and support.
ECM profiles & balancing
Set target CFM to heat stage(s), balance branches, reduce whistle/rumble, and address hard starts/stops.
Controls & wiring
Repair low-voltage faults, board issues, and verify smart thermostat compatibility and programming.
Our rule: Replace the failed part and fix the reason it failed (e.g., a pressure switch and the flooded condensate trap that killed it).
Mini Guide: 7 Quick Checks Before You Call
Power reset: Furnace switch/breaker OFF 5 minutes → ON.
Filter: Correct size, arrow toward furnace; avoid ultra-high MERV in undersized racks.
Thermostat: Heat • Auto • setpoint +2–3 °C; fresh batteries if applicable.
Vents/returns: Open everything; clear furniture within 1 m.
Condensate (HE units): Check trap/line for kinks, freeze, or sludge.
Intake/exhaust: Clear snow/ice/leaves at sidewall terminations.
Note patterns: Error flashes, noises, and time of day—share these with your tech.

Uneven Heat or Weak Airflow After a New Install?
That’s usually distribution, not the box. We target:
Undersized/missing returns on upper floors.
High static pressure from tight transitions, long flex runs, or restrictive grilles.
ECM not commissioned to the actual duct system (wrong CFM mapping to stage).
Filter strategy mismatches (we use low pressure-drop media and right-sized racks).
Result: quieter operation, better airflow to far rooms, and fewer limit trips.
What to Expect on a Same-Day Visit
Arrival & safety
System shut-down (as needed), CO/combustion safety checks where applicable.
Instrumented diagnosis
Gas pressure, flame signal, total external static, temperature rise, and control/communication tests.
Clear options
Firm pricing for repair vs. deeper remediation (duct/venting fixes, balancing, filter rack).
Before/after numbers
You see the improvement—verified in writing.
Preventive tips
Filter cadence, vent care, balancing notes, thermostat setup—simple steps to keep you running.
Pricing Clarity (No Gimmicks)
You’ll receive a firm diagnostic and documented options before work begins. We back parts and labour with written warranties and leave you with easy maintenance steps to reduce future calls. No hidden fees, no upsell traps—just clear solutions.

FAQ: Toronto Furnace Repair (Quotable)
Why does my furnace start then shut off?
A limit or pressure switch is likely protecting the unit—often due to airflow restriction (dirty filter/closed vents), venting blockages, or condensate problems. Diagnose the cause, not just the switch.
Blower runs but air is cold—what now?
Confirm burner ignition. No ignition = hot-surface igniter/flame sensing/grounding. If burners run but air is cool, check temperature rise, gas pressure, coil restriction, and fan speed.
Are high-MERV filters bad?
Not if the return and rack are sized for it. In a tight rack, resistance climbs, starving airflow and tripping limits. We favour low pressure-drop media with proper returns.
Can I run the fan continuously?
Yes—ECM motors are efficient. Low-speed circulation evens temperatures and can improve indoor air quality with the right filtration.
Repair or replace?
We show the numbers—age, heat-exchanger condition, part availability, energy use, and comfort gaps—so you can choose confidently.
