What heating and cooling costs depend on in Welland
Your bills come down to the age of the house, the age of the equipment and what you pay for hydro and gas. Here's how those stack up locally.
- HomesWartime houses to new builds
Older brick homes and wartime houses, post-war bungalows and newer subdivisions like Hunters Pointe all lose heat at very different rates.
- UtilitiesWelland Hydro plus Enbridge
We use your actual Welland Hydro and Enbridge bills when comparing a furnace swap against a heat pump, so the savings estimate isn't a guess.
- ClimateHumid summers, damp winters
Niagara summers are sticky, and winters are mild by Ontario standards but raw and damp, so an efficient AC or heat pump pays back in both seasons.
- FinancingInterest-free terms up to 9 months
Spread the cost of a new system on approved credit, or choose an open loan from 2.99% OAC.
Four ways we keep your HVAC costs in check
Being careful with money shouldn't mean living with a cold house. These are the ways we help Welland homeowners get the most from every dollar.
Efficient replacements
When a unit is done, a 96% to 97% AFUE furnace or a modern heat pump cuts the waste. We size it from a heat-loss calculation so you don't pay for capacity you'll never use.
Rebates handled for you
Qualifying heat pumps can earn up to $7,500 through the Home Renovation Savings Program. We file the pre-approval before installation and handle the paperwork.
Prices that hold
Your written quote is the price you pay for the agreed scope. Bring a comparable quote from a reputable contractor, and where applicable we may come in up to 10% lower.
Not sure which option fits your home?
Tell us about your house and we'll recommend the right system, with a guaranteed price and your rebate estimate.
Furnace repair in Welland and the other problems we fix
These are the calls we get most from older homes and newer subdivisions alike. Several of them cost far less to fix than people expect.
Someone told you to replace the furnace and you're not convinced
We'll take a second look. Our TSSA-certified gas technicians inspect the heat exchanger, burners, inducer and controls, show you what they find and tell you straight whether repair is still reasonable.
The furnace clicks on, runs a minute and shuts off again
Short cycling is often a dirty flame sensor, a clogged filter or a blocked vent pipe, all inexpensive fixes. If the furnace is badly oversized for the house, we'll explain that too.
The AC still runs, but your July hydro bill keeps climbing
An air conditioner from the early 2000s uses a lot more power than a current model with a higher SEER2 rating. We show you the running cost difference so you can decide if replacement makes sense now or later.
A white crust of ice coats the outdoor pipe on a hot afternoon
That points to low airflow or low refrigerant. We check the filter and blower first, then test for leaks with licensed refrigeration techs, instead of simply topping it up and leaving.
Rooms at the back of your wartime house are always cold
Small houses from that era often have short, undersized duct runs and one return. Balancing the ducts or adding a return can fix it, and for a stubborn room a single ductless head is an option.
You'd replace the old system now if it weren't for the upfront cost
0% financing for 3, 6 or 9 months spreads the payments, and a heat pump rebate can take a big bite out of the total. We lay out both in your quote so you can see the real number.
The rented water heater costs more every year and the tank is 15 years old
Add up a decade of rental fees and the number is sobering. We price a Rinnai condensing tankless unit against what you pay the rental company now, and if a plain owned tank is the better deal for your household, we say that instead. Either way, the furnace and water heater venting get checked together.
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.

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 does a Welland furnace stop being worth repairing?
Repair it if the furnace is under about 15 years old, the heat exchanger is sound and the fix is a small part. Replace it if it's past 20 years, needs repeated repairs or has a cracked heat exchanger.
How does 0% financing on a new furnace work?
You pay the cost in equal instalments over 3, 6 or 9 months with no interest, on approved credit. Longer open loans start from 2.99% OAC, and rates are subject to lender approval.
Can I get a second opinion on a furnace replacement quote?
Yes. Our HVAC technician in Welland will inspect the furnace, tell you whether replacement is really needed and give you our own written price.
My Welland home has gas heat. What rebate can a heat pump get?
A smaller one than electric or oil homes get: commonly up to $2,000 with Enbridge gas heat, versus up to $7,500 for homes heated by electricity, oil, propane or wood. Whichever tier applies, the paperwork must be approved before installation day, and the program's terms may change.
Will you beat quotes from other HVAC companies in Welland?
Where applicable, we may undercut a comparable quote from a reputable contractor by up to 10%. Send us the quote and we'll compare it equipment for equipment.
What is AFUE?
AFUE, or annual fuel utilization efficiency, is the share of the gas a furnace turns into heat for your home. A 96% AFUE furnace wastes about 4% of its fuel, compared with 20% or more for many older models.
What does a new furnace cost in a Welland home?
Our high-efficiency furnaces start from $3,300 installed, and a Rinnai tankless water heater also starts from $3,300. Installed pricing depends on size and installation requirements, so the written quote is the number to plan around, and it does not move once you sign.
