Four things we look at before quoting a Belleville home
Belleville has a bit of everything. The right system depends on which kind of house you own and how it's heated today.
- Housing mixCentury homes to new subdivisions
Older brick and frame houses downtown and on East Hill, post-war bungalows, and newer streets in places like Potter's Creek each call for a different plan.
- Hydro and gasElexicon Energy and Enbridge Gas
We put your hydro and gas bills side by side before suggesting a heat pump, so the savings estimate matches your house and not a brochure.
- Bay of Quinte weatherMuggy summers, cold winters
Your equipment has to dry out sticky July air and then carry the house through January. Weak AC and tired furnaces both show up quickly here.
- Rebate tierUp to $7,500
Homes heated by electricity, oil, propane or wood can reach the higher amount for a cold-climate heat pump. If you heat with Enbridge gas, expect a smaller amount.
What Belleville homeowners ask us to fix, and what we tackle first
Most calls start with one symptom. The real job is working out whether it's a cheap fix or a sign the system is close to done.
The furnace is 20 years old and you doubt it'll last another winter
Age alone isn't a reason to replace. We test the heat exchanger, ignitor, inducer and blower, then give you two numbers: the cost to keep it running safely and the cost of a new 96% AFUE two-stage furnace. You choose with both in front of you.
The AC and the furnace came from different decades
A new outdoor unit tied to an old furnace blower often can't move enough air, so it cools poorly and runs long. When both are near the end, replacing them together, or with one heat pump that heats and cools, saves a second visit and a second round of line work.
Bedrooms upstairs feel damp and warm on July evenings
Older Belleville houses often have small or missing returns on the second floor. We measure airflow, add or enlarge returns where the house allows, and size new cooling to pull moisture out as well as drop the temperature.
Your newer home has rooms that never feel right
Systems in many newer subdivisions were set up fast and left that way. We check duct balance, dampers and where the thermostat sits before you spend a dollar on equipment, because a few adjustments sometimes solve it.
A baseboard-heated bungalow sends you a painful hydro bill every winter
Baseboards turn each unit of power into one unit of heat. A cold-climate heat pump moves heat from outdoors instead of making it, so it gives you more warmth per kilowatt for most of the season, and baseboard homes may qualify for up to $7,500.
Someone quoted you a heat pump and something feels off
We're happy to take a second look. We run a heat-loss calculation, check your panel for a 240V circuit and compare running costs against your current fuel. If a heat pump doesn't suit your home yet, we'll say so plainly.
The century home on East Hill has radiators, a boiler and nothing for July
There's no need to tear out hot-water heat that still works. A ductless heat pump with a head or two upstairs adds cooling for the Bay of Quinte summer and takes over the heating in spring and fall, so the boiler fires less often. The boiler stays as the deep-winter heat source, and the plaster and trim stay intact.
Sound familiar?
Describe the problem and we'll tell you what it usually is, what it costs to fix, and whether it's worth fixing.

Our repair-or-replace rule of thumb for Belleville furnaces
There's no single number that settles it, but three questions usually do.
- Is the heat exchanger sound? A cracked heat exchanger ends the conversation. The furnace is replaced, because that's a safety issue, not a comfort one.
- How does the repair compare to the replacement? When one repair costs a large share of a new furnace and the unit is already past 15 years, the money is better spent on the replacement, especially with 0% financing available on approved credit.
- Is this the first repair or the third? One failed ignitor on a 12-year-old furnace is worth fixing. A control board this year, an inducer last year and a blower the year before is a pattern.
We write the answer on the quote with the reasons beside it, so you can take it to a family member or another contractor and have it make sense. If the honest answer is to repair and wait, that's what the quote says.

We had a heat pump/AC unit installed by EHI, on time, on budget, great workmanship. Julian and team were knowledgeable and courteous. Dustin communicated well and is managing our government rebate for the new efficient system. Thank you Team!
Replaces our AC with a new heat pump in Ottawa and the whole experience was outstanding. From the first call, Dustin was incredibly responsive and communicated clearly every step of the way. He cut through all the usual sales fluff and got straight to what mattered — options, costs, timelines, and what made the most sense for our home. They addressed every concern I had, explained the details discussed my technical questions, and handled the installation quickly and professionally. The quality of the work is excellent, everything was done cleanly, and the system has been running perfectly since. Pricing was fair and transparent, and there were no surprises. It’s rare to find a company that combines speed, honesty, and solid workmanship like this. Highly recommended.
Recently got a shiny new heat pump installed. Went very well, nice unit and it works soooo quietly. These fine folks were very easy to deal with, professional and thourough. Would highly recommend.
Efficient Home Improvements truly went above and beyond. Our furnace failed on Christmas Eve in Ottawa, and their team stayed up late (3:00am) that night to replace it. Their responsiveness, professionalism, and dedication during the holidays were exceptional. The work was completed efficiently, and everything was explained clearly. It’s rare to find a company willing to sacrifice their own holiday time to ensure a customer’s home is warm and safe. I highly recommend Efficient Home improvements to anyone in need of reliable and compassionate service.
I recently had a new furnace and tankless water heater installed by this company. Excellent service by both office and technicians , I highly recommend!
The Installers were great.. Got in and got the job done..the furnace works amazing compared to the old one !!! Need a furnace..A/C water tankless system..there your guys!!!!
Had a tankless water heater installed and couldn’t be happier. The installation was quick, professional, and the system works great — endless hot water and more efficient than my old tank. Highly recommend!
Dustin and his team were really responsive and helpful in getting us a new heat pump to replace our broken AC unit. The team went above and beyond helping us through the process and answering other questions about the house we recently moved in to. I would highly recommend Efficient Home Improvements for any of your HVAC needs.

Frequently asked questions
When is an old furnace in Belleville still worth fixing?
A furnace is usually worth repairing when the heat exchanger is sound, the part is minor and the unit isn't near the end of its life. When repairs keep piling up or the heat exchanger is cracked, we show you the replacement price next to the repair so you can compare.
Do I need to replace my AC at the same time as my furnace?
Not always. If your AC is fairly new and matched to the furnace blower, it can stay; if both are worn out, replacing them together saves a second visit and lets us size the coil, furnace and outdoor unit as one system.
What does heat pump installation in Belleville start at?
A cold-climate heat pump in Belleville starts from $5,500 installed, before any rebate. The final figure depends on size and installation requirements, and we put a guaranteed quote in your hands before work starts.
Can a Belleville home on Enbridge gas get a heat pump rebate?
Yes, though usually a smaller amount than homes heated by electricity, oil, propane or wood, which can reach up to $7,500. We confirm eligibility first, because pre-approval has to be granted before the install and the program's terms can change.
Do you work in rural areas outside Belleville, like Thurlow and Foxboro?
Yes. We serve Thurlow, Foxboro, Corbyville and Point Anne as well as the city itself, and we set visit times with you directly.
Is there an emergency HVAC service in Belleville on weekends?
Yes. We answer emergency heating and cooling calls evenings, weekends and holidays. Call 1-647-694-5845 and we'll give you an honest idea of when a technician can be there.
