Heating & cooling in Hornby, Ontario.

Yes. Hornby is part of our primary service area, with no travel surcharges. From our Georgetown base, the drive is about 15 minutes via Trafalgar Road and Steeles Avenue. Same-day repair service is typical.

Two reasons. First, manufacturer warranties on furnaces and AC units typically require that installation comply with all applicable codes and permits — unpermitted installs can void the warranty. Second, on resale, home inspectors check for permit records, and unpermitted HVAC work can complicate or delay closings. Some Brampton-based contractors aren't familiar with Halton Hills' permit process and skip it. We pull permits on every install. If you've had unpermitted work done previously, we can help with documentation cleanup before resale.

It depends on your priorities. Straight furnace replacement to a high-efficiency 96%+ AFUE unit costs $5,500–$7,500 and improves efficiency 15–20% versus your current 80% AFUE. Heat pump conversion (hybrid or fully-electric) costs $11,000–$20,000 sticker but qualifies for $4,000–$7,500 in rebates and replaces both your furnace AND your AC, while reducing emissions and operating cost more substantially. For homeowners staying in the home 7+ years, the heat pump math usually wins. For shorter timelines, straight furnace replacement is often the right call. We lay out the math both ways during the consultation.

During business hours, within 4 hours for genuine no-heat or no-AC emergencies. After hours, our 24/7 dispatch typically gets a technician on-site within 4–6 hours. Travel time from Georgetown to Hornby is included in the response window — we don't add a travel charge to emergency calls.

Most homes built in the late 1990s and later have ductwork sized appropriately for both heating and cooling airflow, which works well for heat pump installs. Older rural Hornby homes sometimes have undersized ductwork that may need additions — typically a return air duct or two, not a full duct replacement. We measure static pressure during the assessment and recommend any modifications needed before quoting the install.

Yes. The Ontario rebate programs are province-wide — they apply equally to Hornby, Georgetown, Toronto, and anywhere else in Ontario. The HRS program (high-efficiency heating equipment), the federal Greener Homes Loan, and OHPA (oil-to-heat-pump) all have province-wide eligibility based on the equipment installed and your existing heating source. We file every form on every eligible install.
