Furnace Replacement Ottawa โ€” Is It Time for a New Furnace?

This is the most honest section on our website. We don't push replacements โ€” but we'll tell you clearly when a new furnace is the smarter financial decision for your Ottawa home.

๐Ÿ”ง
Repair Is Usually Right Whenโ€ฆ
  • Your furnace is under 10 years old
  • The repair cost is under $500โ€“$600
  • It's a first-time breakdown on a young unit
  • The part is covered by existing warranty
๐Ÿ 
Replacement Is Smarter Whenโ€ฆ
  • Your furnace is 15โ€“20+ years old
  • Repair cost exceeds 50% of a new furnace
  • You've repaired it more than twice in 2 years
  • Energy bills keep rising despite repairs
  • The unit is an older 80% AFUE model
  • You want to qualify for 2026 rebates

Our Installation Process

How Our Ottawa Furnace Installation Service Works

From your first call to a warm home โ€” typically completed in one day. Transparent at every step.

1
Free In-Home Assessment

We visit, measure your home, assess ductwork, venting, and gas supply, then recommend the right furnace for your specific Ottawa home โ€” not a one-size-fits-all spec.

2
Upfront Written Quote

You receive a detailed written quote covering equipment, labour, disposal, permits, and rebate eligibility. No surprises. No work starts without your approval.

3
Same-Week Installation

Our TSSA-licensed technicians arrive on schedule, remove and dispose of your old furnace, install the new unit, connect all venting and gas lines per code.

4
Full Commissioning & Test

We commission the system, verify gas pressure, test all safety controls, calibrate your thermostat, and walk you through everything before we leave.

5
Rebate Application Filed

We handle your HRS and Enbridge rebate paperwork at no extra charge. Most Ottawa homeowners receive their rebate within 60โ€“90 days of installation.

โฑ๏ธ

Completed in One Day โ€” Warm Home by Evening

Most Ottawa furnace installations take 4โ€“8 hours. Standard swap-outs are typically done by 4pm. If ductwork modifications or venting upgrades are needed, we'll tell you in advance.

Transparent Pricing

Furnace Replacement Cost in Ottawa โ€” What to Expect

Ottawa furnace installation costs vary. Here's the honest breakdown โ€” before rebates and before financing. A firm written quote is always provided before we start.

Furnace Type & Efficiency
Ottawa Installed Cost
Standard Gas โ€” 80% AFUE Single-Stage
$3,500โ€“$5,000
โญ High-Eff Gas โ€” 96% AFUE Two-Stage
$4,500โ€“$6,500
Premium โ€” 98% AFUE Modulating
$6,000โ€“$8,500
Propane Furnace Installation
$4,000โ€“$6,500
Oil-to-Gas Conversion + Install
$4,500โ€“$7,500
Labour (included in above)
$500โ€“$1,500
Old Furnace Disposal
Included
Permit (if required)
$100โ€“$250
Prices above are Ottawa-area ranges (2026). Final cost depends on furnace brand, home size, venting type, and ductwork condition. We provide firm all-inclusive quotes before starting. After rebates, most Ottawa homeowners pay $1,500โ€“$5,000 less.
๐Ÿ“
Home Size & Proper Sizing Matters Most

An undersized furnace runs constantly. An oversized furnace short-cycles. We perform Manual J heat load calculations to right-size your furnace โ€” not just match the old unit.

๐Ÿ”ง
Venting Type Can Add Cost

High-efficiency furnaces require different venting (PVC pipes out a side wall) vs. standard furnaces (metal flue up the chimney). If your home needs venting upgrades, we'll include this in your quote.

โšก
Ductwork Condition Affects Price

If your existing ductwork is leaky or undersized, you won't get the full benefit of your new high-efficiency furnace. We assess and advise honestly โ€” duct work is not always needed.

๐Ÿ’ฐ
Rebates Can Reduce Your Cost Significantly

Qualifying Ottawa homeowners can receive up to $7,500 back through 2026 programs. We calculate your eligibility during the assessment โ€” free of charge โ€” and handle the paperwork.

Clarity
Flexible Financing โ€” 0% Options Available

Through Financeit and our Clarity program, we make Ottawa furnace installation affordable with low monthly payment plans โ€” sometimes as low as $80/month.

2026 Government Programs

Understanding Efficiency

High-Efficiency Furnace Ottawa โ€” 80% vs 96% AFUE Explained

AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) tells you how much of the gas your furnace burns actually becomes heat in your home โ€” versus going out the exhaust. Here's what the numbers mean for your Ottawa energy bill.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ RB Heating's Ottawa Recommendation

For most Ottawa homeowners, a 96% AFUE two-stage furnace is the sweet spot. The upfront premium over an 80% model pays back in 5โ€“8 years through gas savings โ€” and it qualifies for 2026 rebates which can offset much of the cost difference. If you're planning to stay in your home for 10+ years, the two-stage 96% unit consistently delivers the best long-term value.

Get My Personalized Recommendation
โ„๏ธ Why Efficiency Matters More in Ottawa
Ottawa averages 4,500+ heating degree days per year โ€” more than Toronto, Calgary, or Vancouver. Your furnace works harder here.
Ottawa winters regularly see -20ยฐC to -30ยฐC โ€” your furnace runs for 5โ€“6 months straight, making efficiency critically important.
A 96% vs 80% furnace saves Ottawa homeowners an average of $400โ€“$600/year. Over 15 years, that's $6,000โ€“$9,000 in gas savings.
High-efficiency furnaces use direct vent PVC piping โ€” they draw combustion air from outside, which also improves indoor air quality.

New Installation

RB Heating replaced our 22-year-old furnace with a high-efficiency two-stage unit. The installer was professional, explained every step, and the house has never been this warm and quiet. They also got us $4,200 back in rebates. Incredible service.

Rebate Handled

I got three quotes for our new furnace. RB Heating wasn't the cheapest, but they were the only contractor who explained the rebate programs clearly and offered to handle the paperwork. After the $3,500 rebate came in, they were actually the best value. Would choose them again without hesitation.

Questions & Answers

Furnace Installation Ottawa โ€” Frequently Asked Questions

Everything Ottawa homeowners ask before getting a new furnace.

How much does furnace installation cost in Ottawa?+
New furnace installation in Ottawa costs between $3,500โ€“$8,500 depending on the unit type, efficiency rating, and installation complexity. A standard 80% AFUE gas furnace runs $3,500โ€“$5,000 installed. The most popular choice โ€” a high-efficiency 96% two-stage unit โ€” costs $4,500โ€“$6,500. After 2026 rebates, many Ottawa homeowners pay $1,500โ€“$5,000 less than the list price. We provide a firm all-inclusive written quote before starting.
How long does furnace installation take in Ottawa?+
Most standard furnace replacements take 4โ€“8 hours and are completed in a single day. You'll typically have heat by early evening. If significant ductwork modifications or venting changes are required, we'll advise you in advance. We confirm the timeline in your written quote so you can plan accordingly.
What furnace rebates are available in Ottawa in 2026?+
Ottawa homeowners can access up to $7,500 through the 2026 Home Renovation Savings (HRS) program and Enbridge Gas rebates. The amount depends on your current heating system, the efficiency of the new furnace, and program availability at the time of installation. RB Heating handles your rebate application at no extra charge โ€” we check your eligibility during the free quote assessment.
What brand of furnace does RB Heating install?+
As an Excalibur Authorized Dealer and ClimateCare member, we install and warranty all major brands including Lennox, Carrier, Goodman, Napoleon, Rheem, Trane, Amana, and York. Our brand recommendation is based on your home's specific needs and your budget โ€” we don't have a single-brand preference or hidden incentive to push one manufacturer over another.
Do I need a permit for furnace installation in Ottawa?+
Most furnace replacements in Ottawa require a building permit, which your contractor is responsible for pulling. RB Heating handles the permit application process as part of your installation. The permit fee ($100โ€“$250) is included in your written quote. A permit ensures the installation is inspected and meets Ontario Building Code โ€” protecting your home insurance and manufacturer warranty.
What size furnace do I need for my Ottawa home?+
Proper furnace sizing requires a Manual J heat load calculation โ€” not just matching the old unit's BTU rating. Factors include your home's square footage, ceiling height, insulation quality, number of windows, and Ottawa's climate zone. An oversized furnace short-cycles (inefficient and uncomfortable). An undersized furnace runs constantly and can't keep up on the coldest Ottawa nights. We perform proper sizing on every assessment.
Is a 96% high-efficiency furnace worth it in Ottawa?+
Yes โ€” for most Ottawa homeowners planning to stay in their home 7+ years. The premium over an 80% unit typically pays back in 5โ€“8 years through gas savings of $400โ€“$600/year. It also qualifies for 2026 rebates that can offset much of the upfront cost difference. Ottawa's cold climate (4,500+ heating degree days per year) means your furnace runs heavily โ€” efficiency improvements have a larger impact here than in milder Canadian cities.
What warranty comes with a new furnace from RB Heating?+
New furnaces from RB Heating include the full manufacturer warranty (typically 5โ€“10 year parts, lifetime heat exchanger on premium models) plus our own labour warranty. Installing through a TSSA-licensed, authorized dealer like RB Heating is required to activate the full manufacturer warranty โ€” unlicensed installations void all coverage. We provide your warranty documentation at installation completion.
