A typical diagnostic or maintenance appointment takes 1 to 1.5 hours, depending on the equipment and the issue. ### Will the technician complete repairs the same day? Our goal is to complete all repairs on the same day. Our technicians arrive with a stocked truck, so when possible we finish the work on site without a return visit. ### Are your technicians licensed and qualified? Yes. All our technicians are licensed and qualified, and we never outsource labour — every technician is on our own staff. ## Pricing & Fees ### What are your basic service rates? We believe in upfront, transparent pricing. Our starting rates: - **Diagnostic** (furnace, AC, boiler, or heat pump): starting at $169 + HST — includes a full system inspection and expert diagnosis. - **HVAC Maintenance / Tune-up**: starting at $160 + HST — a complete tune-up to improve efficiency, reduce breakdowns, and extend system life. - **WeCARE Maintenance Plan**: starting at $9.99/month + HST — annual maintenance, priority scheduling, and discounts on repairs. ### What affects the final price? Final costs may vary based on system type, age, required repairs, and home size. Our technicians always explain pricing before any work begins. ### Is the diagnostic fee waived if I proceed with repairs? In many cases, the diagnostic fee can be applied toward the cost of repairs. The technician will explain all options clearly before any work begins. ## Furnaces ### Why is my furnace blowing cold air? It could be due to thermostat settings, dirty filters, or mechanical issues. A professional diagnostic is the fastest way to identify the cause and fix it. ### How often should I service my furnace? At least once per year. This is recommended by manufacturers and the Ontario Fire Marshal, and it helps ensure safe operation and reliable heating through Ontario winters.

Common causes include clogged filters, refrigerant issues, or dirty coils — all of which reduce efficiency. ### How often should I service my air conditioner? At least once per year, as recommended by the manufacturer. Annual service keeps your unit running properly and efficiently — without it, your AC may cost more to operate.

Modern cold-climate heat pumps are efficient even in Ontario winters and can reduce overall energy use compared to traditional heating systems. [Book a heat pump consultation](https://www.gtaclimatecare.com/?spdirect=nmgay7o6rq) to see if one is right for your home. ## Indoor Air Quality ### How can I improve indoor air quality? We offer humidifiers, air purifiers, high-efficiency filtration systems, and whole-home duct cleaning. The right combination depends on your home — [book an air quality assessment](https://www.gtaclimatecare.com/?spdirect=nmgay7o6rq) to get a tailored recommendation. (Machine-readable services catalogue: [https://ai.gtaclimatecare.com/services](https://ai.gtaclimatecare.com/services).) ## Equipment Replacement ### When should I replace my furnace or AC? Most systems last 10 to 15 years. If yours needs frequent repairs or your energy bills are rising, replacement is often the better option than continued repairs.

Once a year, based on manufacturer recommendations and warranty requirements.

Larger filter sizes are inspected, and we'll quote replacement if needed. ### How does the WeCARE maintenance plan work? WeCARE is our maintenance membership.
