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.

Why an Orléans HVAC replacement goes better when it's planned
Nobody budgets for a furnace. It tends to quit during the same week the kids are home sick and the car needs winter tires. Planning the replacement before that happens gives you choices: time to compare systems, file for rebate pre-approval and pick an install date that suits the household.
Plenty of family homes in Convent Glen, Fallingbrook and Chapel Hill still run on furnaces and ACs from when they were built. Newer townhomes in Avalon often have the opposite issue: builder-grade equipment that was the cheapest line on the order sheet. Either way, the fix is a system sized to the house, not copied from the old label.
Spreading the cost helps too. Choose 0% financing for 3, 6 or 9 months, or an open loan from 2.99% OAC, so a new system fits the monthly budget instead of draining the savings account. Live elsewhere in the city? Our page on Ottawa HVAC covers the rest of the region.

What Orléans families tell us about their heating and cooling
These come up again and again in east-end homes. Each one has a cause we can find and a fix we can price.
The kids' rooms upstairs are colder than the kitchen
Two-storey homes often have long duct runs to the bedrooms and weak return air upstairs. We check static pressure, balance the system and fit a variable-speed furnace or heat pump that moves air more evenly through the house.
Winter gusts off the Ottawa River make the house feel drafty
East-end homes take the brunt of winter wind, and a single-stage furnace answers with blasts of hot air followed by cold stretches. A two-stage furnace or inverter heat pump runs longer at lower output, which keeps rooms steadier.
The builder's AC still runs, but only just
Long run times, weak airflow and a rattle on start-up are signs of a tired condenser. A heat pump costs more than a basic AC, but it also heats much of the winter, and rebates can close part of the gap.
You can't swing a big repair and a replacement in the same year
Ask for both prices before you commit. If the repair makes sense, we fix it. If replacement is the smarter spend, financing turns one large bill into manageable monthly payments.
Your last heat pump quote never mentioned backup heat
An Ottawa winter calls for a backup. We pair a cold-climate unit rated to -30°C with your gas furnace or an electric air handler, sized so the house holds temperature on the worst night of the year.
Your townhouse has one small spot for an outdoor unit
Townhomes leave little room to work with. We look at side yards, rear decks and wall brackets, check clearances from windows and the neighbour's unit, and choose a quiet inverter model.

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.
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!
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.
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
How much does it cost to replace a furnace and AC in Orléans?
A high-efficiency furnace starts from $3,300 installed and a cold-climate heat pump from $5,500, so most full replacements land above those figures once sizing, venting and electrical work are added. We give you one guaranteed price after seeing the house.
Can I finance a new HVAC system in Orléans?
Yes. You can choose 0% financing for 3, 6 or 9 months or an open loan from 2.99% OAC, subject to lender approval.
Does a heat pump need backup heat in Orléans?
Yes, in practice it should have one. A cold-climate heat pump rated to -30°C carries most of the winter, and a gas furnace or electric air handler covers the coldest, windiest nights.
Is a heat pump a better swap than a new AC for an Orléans home?
If your AC is near the end, a heat pump is usually the better replacement because it cools in summer and also heats for much of the year. It costs more upfront, and rebates and financing help close the gap.
Are you an HVAC contractor in Orléans?
We're based in Stouffville, with licensed crews covering Orléans, Navan, Cardinal Creek and the rest of the east end. We book assessments and installs with you directly.
Who handles AC repair in Orléans when the cooling quits?
We do. Our licensed refrigeration technicians fix warm air, iced lines, leaks and dead condensers, and you see the price before any work starts.
