How much does HVAC maintenance cost in Ontario?
Single-system spring AC or fall furnace tune-up: $89-$159. Service Agreement annual plan covering both visits + priority dispatch + 10% off repairs: $180-$240/year. Add semi-annual coil cleaning $80-$120/year for logistics-corridor properties.
My Ontario home is near the airport. Should I add coil cleaning to my service plan?
Yes. Diesel particulate and fine dust from airport approaches load up coils faster than residential-only cities. Semi-annual coil cleaning maintains rated efficiency through the season. Add-on $80-$120/year.
My older South Ontario furnace is 20+ years old. Is maintenance still worth it?
Especially yes. Annual fall tune-up includes heat exchanger CO testing on systems 15+ years old. Cracked heat exchangers on 1990s-era furnaces are CO safety issues and non-repairable in 2026, better to find out at a tune-up than during winter heating season.
How often should Ontario HVAC be tuned up?
