A landlord's checklist from an HVAC contractor in Peterborough
Student houses near Trent and Fleming work hard. Before you choose equipment or approve a repair, these are the points we go through with owners.
- A furnace or heat pump sized for the whole house, including the converted rooms
- Bedroom doors that can close without starving the room of air, thanks to proper returns
- A filter size that's easy to buy and simple for tenants to change
- A smart thermostat with sensible limits and alerts sent to your phone
- Working carbon monoxide alarms outside sleeping areas, as Ontario requires in homes with fuel-burning appliances
- Bigger jobs booked into the gap between leases where possible
- Service records and warranty registration sent straight to the owner
Ductless heating and cooling for cottages around Lakefield and Bridgenorth
Lots of Kawartha cottages were built for July. Then the owners start coming up in May and staying until Thanksgiving, and the baseboards or wood stove can't keep up with frosty mornings. Some families want the place usable in winter too.
Often the easiest fix is a ductless heat pump. One outdoor unit and one to four indoor heads warm the cottage on cold spring and fall days and cool it in summer, with no ductwork to add. Cold-climate models like the Midea EVOX G3 are rated to heat down to -30°C, so a well-insulated cottage can stay in use all winter, with backup heat for the harshest nights.
Cottages raise their own install questions, and we sort them out on the first visit: panel capacity and room for a 240V circuit, a stand tall enough to clear the snow, and a spot sheltered from wind off the water. A Wi-Fi controller lets you warm the place up before you leave town.
- Each indoor head matched to its room's heat loss
- Raised stand for snow and spring runoff
- Wi-Fi control so you can check in from home
- Rebate eligibility confirmed before we install

In-town upgrades: get a Peterborough HVAC quote for a furnace or heat pump
Century homes in the core and The Avenues, post-war houses and newer subdivisions on the edges of the city all need different things. A drafty older home may do best with a hybrid setup, where a heat pump does most of the work and a high-efficiency furnace handles snowy cold snaps. A newer home with good ducts might suit a ducted cold-climate heat pump.
Peterborough runs colder than the lakeshore, so we size from a heat-loss calculation, not the label on the old furnace. You get one guaranteed price, your rebate estimate and your financing options in writing.
- Lennox ML296V and Midea MGH96 furnaces, 96% AFUE and up
- Heat pumps rated to keep heating in -30°C weather
- We look after the rebate pre-approval
- Three, six or nine months at 0% interest, OAC

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
Do you work with landlords who own student rentals in Peterborough?
Yes. We repair and upgrade heating and cooling in rental houses near Trent and Fleming, send quotes and records to the owner, and arrange access with tenants once you approve.
Can a ductless heat pump heat a Kawartha cottage in winter?
Yes, if the cottage is insulated well enough and the system is a cold-climate model sized from a heat-loss calculation. We plan backup heat for the coldest nights, and an uninsulated summer cottage usually needs insulation work first.
Is heat pump installation in Peterborough worth it if I have natural gas?
It can be. A hybrid system lets the heat pump cover most of the year and adds efficient cooling, while the gas furnace takes over in deep cold, and Enbridge gas-heated homes may qualify for a smaller rebate.
Can I control my cottage heat pump from home?
Yes. We can add a Wi-Fi controller or smart thermostat so you can check the temperature, adjust it and get alerts from your phone.
Who do I call if the furnace dies in a Peterborough rental on a weekend?
The number to call is 1-647-694-5845. We take emergency heating calls evenings, weekends and holidays, and we'll be honest about when a technician can get there.
Are Lakefield and Bridgenorth inside your service area?
Yes. Our crews serve Lakefield, Bridgenorth and the rest of the Peterborough area from our office in Stouffville, and we schedule visits with you.
