Furnace out or acting up? We'll connect you with a trusted Edmonton heating pro.

In the cold. Searches for furnace repair in Edmonton average about 880 a month but hit about 1,600 in December, and stay near 1,300 in January and March, against about 260 in July. With January overnight lows near −15 °C, a furnace that quits is urgent. A tune-up in summer or early fall, when demand is low, is the easiest one to book.

One Edmonton company advertises furnace tune-ups starting at $179.95, with a limited-time fall price of $149.95 (it doesn't say whether GST is included). For a new furnace, HomeStars puts the Canada-wide average at about $4,000 to $6,750 installed, depending on efficiency, size and installation. Ask what's included, and whether evenings or weekends cost more. The final price comes from the company after it sees the furnace.

Under the Safety Codes Act, the City of Edmonton requires a gas permit to install, alter or relocate gas equipment such as a furnace, and contractors must be licensed with the City. For residential renovation work the permit is $120 plus a $4.80 safety code fee through December 31, 2026. Gasfitting is a compulsory trade in Alberta, so the person connecting the gas must be a certified gasfitter or registered apprentice.

Edmonton's Clean Energy Improvement Program finances $3,000 to $50,000 of upgrades at a fixed 6.00% through your property tax bill. A high-efficiency gas furnace isn't eligible on its own, only together with a heat pump. The program is nearing capacity, and new applications go to a waitlist.
