HVAC in Courtice: what we see in local homes
Courtice grew fast through the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s. That shared history shows up in the furnace room.
- Typical homes1980s to 2010s family homes
Detached houses and townhomes in areas like Courtice Shores and North Courtice, plus rural properties north of town.
- Equipment ageFirst or second furnace
Homes this age are often on their original furnace or a second one, and plenty of central air units are close to the end.
- UtilitiesElexicon for hydro, Enbridge for gas
Most homes here heat with Enbridge gas, so a hybrid heat pump setup is often the easiest way to trim the bill.
- ClimateLake breezes, cold winter wind
Wind off Lake Ontario and the open fields to the north make winter feel colder than the thermometer says.
Who we help around Courtice
Different households, same goal: a system that just works.
Homes with tired equipment
If your furnace and AC are past 15 to 20 years, we help you replace them on purpose instead of in a rush.
Gas-heated homes chasing lower bills
A heat pump on your existing ducts carries most of the heating, with the furnace kept for deep cold.
Budget-minded buyers
0% financing for 3, 6 or 9 months, or open loans from 2.99% OAC, lets you replace now and pay over time. Rates are subject to lender approval.

Furnace and AC trouble our Courtice HVAC technicians solve
These problems tend to show up together once a house reaches its third decade.
The AC and the furnace are the same age and both are slowing down
Replacing them as a matched pair costs less in labour than two separate jobs, and the coil, furnace blower and outdoor unit are sized to work together. You can also swap the AC for a heat pump at the same time.
You can't afford to lose a workday to a surprise breakdown
A planned replacement happens on a day you pick. We book the assessment around your commute, line up the equipment and rebate pre-approval, and schedule the install for a day that suits you.
The ducts are fine but the cooling feels weak
Twenty-year-old ductwork in Courtice is usually still usable. A ducted cold-climate heat pump connects to it in place of the old AC, so you get fresh cooling and efficient heating without tearing into walls.
Winter gas bills keep creeping up
A hybrid system lets a heat pump handle most of the season while the furnace covers the coldest days. Enbridge gas-heated homes commonly qualify for up to $2,000 toward a qualifying heat pump.
The price of a full replacement feels out of reach
We lay out 0% financing for 3, 6 or 9 months and open loans from 2.99% OAC next to the cash price, with rebates already subtracted, so you can see the monthly number before you decide.
Wind off the lake makes the family room drafty
Leaky duct joints and a weak supply run let cold air win. We seal accessible ducts in the basement, check that the room gets enough supply air, and size the new system for the real heat loss.
You'd planned to replace everything in the fall, but the AC may not make it through July
Then we stage it. The heat pump goes in first, on the same ducts, and replaces the AC right away. The furnace follows in the fall as a matched unit, or stays if it tests sound. One assessment, two visits, and the price for both is locked on the first quote so the second step doesn't creep.
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.
Courtice replacement prices you can plan a budget around

Spring or fall: when to book a planned replacement in Courtice
If the equipment still runs, you get to choose the season. Each one has a case.
Spring suits a heat pump or AC replacement. The old unit has survived the winter, the new one gets commissioned in cooling mode before the first heat wave, and install dates are easier to pick before the summer rush. Fall suits a furnace, for the same reason in reverse: the new furnace is tested in heating mode while the weather is still mild, and you head into January with fresh equipment and a registered warranty.
What matters more than the month is the lead time. Rebate pre-approval, financing approval and equipment ordering all take a little while, so the ideal call comes a season before you want the work done. For a commuter household in North Courtice or Courtice Shores, that also means we can hold an evening or Saturday slot instead of fitting you in around an emergency.

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 should I replace a 25-year-old furnace in Courtice?
The best time is before it fails, ideally in spring or fall. A 25-year-old furnace is past the typical lifespan, so pricing a replacement now gives you time to compare options and line up rebates.
Will my Courtice home's ductwork work with a heat pump?
Usually it will. Ducts in 1980s to 2000s homes usually handle a ducted cold-climate heat pump, though we test static pressure first and fix any weak spots.
What financing do you offer for HVAC in Courtice?
We offer 0% interest for 3, 6 or 9 months, and open loans from 2.99% OAC for longer terms. Rates are subject to lender approval.
Can a Courtice HVAC technician come by in the evening?
Often, yes. We're open until 8 pm Monday to Saturday and 10 am to 5 pm on Sunday, so after-work and weekend assessments are usually possible.
Is it cheaper to swap the furnace and air conditioner in one visit?
Usually, yes. One install costs less in labour than two separate jobs, and matched equipment runs more efficiently together.
What's a realistic budget for furnace installation in Courtice?
Plan on a starting price of $3,300 installed for a high-efficiency gas furnace, or $5,500 for a cold-climate heat pump. Installed pricing depends on size and installation requirements, and we stand behind the quoted price.
