Richmond Hill Furnace Repair From a Mississauga Team
We're Furnace King Home Services, a Mississauga HVAC company with over 40 years in the business, and we serve homeowners across Richmond Hill. We're a TSSA-registered fuels contractor (#000298169), we're bonded and insured, and our phone line is open 24/7 for the night the furnace quits.
Richmond Hill is a younger city than most people expect: the City reports that 44.4% of its homes have been built since 2001. That's why we start most calls with a simple question: when was your house built? Furnace age, more than neighbourhood, tells us whether a repair or a replacement makes sense.
Furnace repair and replacement
In a Richmond Hill home from the early 2000s, the original furnace is now around 20 years old, and a repair there deserves a price comparison with replacement. In a newer home, a repair is usually the right first step. Browse our new and replacement furnaces.
Air conditioning
Central air is sized for the house as it was built. If yours struggles in July, or the home has gained a finished basement or addition since, we check the unit against the house as it is today before we recommend repair or replacement. See our air conditioning services.
Heat pumps
About three in four Richmond Hill homes are detached, semi-detached or row houses, the home types Ontario's Home Renovation Savings program covers. We're on its heat pump contractor directory for cold-climate air-source systems. The directory isn't an endorsement. See our heat pump services.
Maintenance
A fall tune-up is a good way to find a worn part before January does. Our furnace plan includes a yearly 21-point tune-up, cleaning and safety inspection, and it's a good fit for any furnace that's past its first decade. See HVAC maintenance and plans.
Water heaters and tankless
Thinking about swapping a tank for a tankless unit? We check your gas line size and venting first, because many GTA homes need a gas line upgrade. Chasing a damp spot instead? Read our guide to detecting a hidden water leak in Richmond Hill.
Emergency service
No heat at 2 a.m.? Call (905) 564-5464; we're open 24/7. If you smell gas, leave the house and call Enbridge Gas's 24-hour line at 1-866-763-5427, or 911, from a safe distance. Details on our emergency service page.

Richmond Hill's Young Homes and Your Furnace's Age
The City of Richmond Hill's summary of the 2021 Census says 44.4% of the city's homes were built since 2001, and 18% between 2011 and 2021. In the Toronto census metropolitan area, 68.1% of homes were built before 2001. Richmond Hill's housing is relatively young, and that changes how we think about furnaces.
A furnace usually goes in with the house. If yours was built in the early 2000s and the furnace is original, it's now around 20 years old, and a repair quote should sit next to a replacement price. In a house built after 2011, the furnace is under 15 years old, so repair is usually the first call. In the 55.6% of homes built before 2001, the furnace has likely been replaced once already; the rating plate shows the date.
If replacement is on the table, plan for the permit. The City's 2026 building fee schedule (By-law 19-24, effective Jan. 1, 2026) lists a flat $349.66 fee for a heating plant replacement. We file the permit for you.
A heat pump is worth pricing too. Of Richmond Hill's occupied homes, 56.7% are single-detached, 3.8% semi-detached and 15.2% row houses, the home types Home Renovation Savings covers. For a gas-heated home, the program lists $500 per ton, up to $2,000, on cold-climate air-source models, and pre-approval is mandatory before installation. Our starting range for a heat pump is $5,000 to $15,000 before rebates.
Before You Call About Your Furnace
A few minutes of prep makes the first conversation faster and the quote more accurate.
- Find the rating plate on the furnace and note the manufacture date and model.
- Write down what it's doing: noises, short cycles, or a code on the display. Please don't open the cabinet.
- Know roughly when the house was built. In a young city like Richmond Hill, it helps us judge where the furnace is in its life.
- If a heat pump interests you, say so on the call. Pre-approval has to come before installation.
- Ask whether your job needs a City permit. If it does, we file it for you.
- Ask about financing: it's available on heat pumps as well as on furnaces and air conditioners.
Frequently Asked Questions About Furnaces in Richmond Hill
How much does furnace repair cost in Richmond Hill?
It depends on what failed: a small part costs far less than a major component. We diagnose the problem first and explain what the repair involves before you decide. If the furnace is old enough that replacement makes more sense, our starting range for a new furnace is $3,000 to $8,500, and the quote is free.
Do I need a permit to replace a furnace in Richmond Hill?
The City of Richmond Hill's permit page lists altering an HVAC system among work that needs a permit, and its 2026 fee schedule includes a flat $349.66 fee for a heating plant replacement. We file the permit for you.
Should I repair or replace my furnace?
Start with age. A furnace well into its second decade that keeps needing repairs is usually worth pricing against a new one. A newer furnace with a single failed part is usually worth repairing. Tell us the age, the symptoms and the home's build year, and we'll lay out both options with prices.
Can I get a rebate for a heat pump in Richmond Hill?
Ontario's Home Renovation Savings program lists $500 per ton, up to $2,000, for a cold-climate air-source heat pump in a gas-heated home. You must own a detached, semi-detached, row or townhome, and pre-approval is mandatory before installation. We're on the program's contractor directory, which isn't an endorsement. Check the program page for current amounts.
