How Our Ottawa Furnace Installation Service Works
From your first call to a warm home — typically completed in one day. Transparent at every step.
We visit, measure your home, assess ductwork, venting, and gas supply, then recommend the right furnace for your specific Ottawa home — not a one-size-fits-all spec.
You receive a detailed written quote covering equipment, labour, disposal, permits, and rebate eligibility. No surprises. No work starts without your approval.
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.
We commission the system, verify gas pressure, test all safety controls, calibrate your thermostat, and walk you through everything before we leave.
We handle your HRS and Enbridge rebate paperwork at no extra charge. Most Ottawa homeowners receive their rebate within 60–90 days of installation.
Completed in One Day — Warm Home by Evening
Most Ottawa furnace installations take 4–8 hours. Standard swap-outs are typically done by 4pm. If ductwork modifications or venting upgrades are needed, we'll tell you in advance.
Furnace Replacement Cost in Ottawa — What to Expect
Ottawa furnace installation costs vary. Here's the honest breakdown — before rebates and before financing. A firm written quote is always provided before we start.
An undersized furnace runs constantly. An oversized furnace short-cycles. We perform Manual J heat load calculations to right-size your furnace — not just match the old unit.
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.
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 — duct work is not always needed.
Qualifying Ottawa homeowners can receive up to $7,500 back through 2026 programs. We calculate your eligibility during the assessment — free of charge — and handle the paperwork.
Through Financeit and our Clarity program, we make Ottawa furnace installation affordable with low monthly payment plans — sometimes as low as $80/month.
Ottawa Furnace Rebates — Up to $7,500 Available in 2026

High-Efficiency Furnace Ottawa — 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 — versus going out the exhaust. Here's what the numbers mean for your Ottawa energy bill.
*Estimated annual gas cost for a typical 1,800 sq ft Ottawa home. Actual savings vary by home size, insulation, and gas rates.
For most Ottawa homeowners, a 96% AFUE two-stage furnace is the sweet spot. The upfront premium over an 80% model pays back in 5–8 years through gas savings — 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.

CFIB MemberWhat Ottawa Homeowners Say About Our Furnace 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.
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.
Our furnace stopped working in November. RB Heating assessed, quoted, and installed a new furnace within 3 days. The whole job was done before noon. They were clean, fast, and explained the new system thoroughly. Highly recommend to any Ottawa homeowner.
