Furnace Installation & Replacement · Brampton, OntarioFurnace Installation & Replacement in Brampton
For furnace installation and replacement in Brampton, expect $4,300–$7,000 for a new high-efficiency gas furnace, with most homes landing between $4,500 and $6,500 installed. That price buys the furnace outright: no monthly rental and no contract attached to the house. The job takes one working day in most homes, and the quote is free and written.
Buying a new furnace in Brampton: venting, second units and what the quote should include
People searching for a new furnace in Brampton are usually deciding between buying one and signing a rental. Buying is a single price, a manufacturer's warranty in your name, and nothing for a buyer's lawyer to untangle when the house sells. Renting spreads the cost into a monthly fee that continues for the length of the contract and typically adds up to more than the purchase price over that term. If you already rent a furnace and want out, we go through the buyout terms with you, and financing through our lending partners is the alternative when the upfront cost is the obstacle.
What the installation involves depends on the house. In Bramalea's 1960s–70s bungalows and side-splits the outgoing furnace is often a mid-efficiency model on a metal flue or chimney, and a new gas furnace must be at least 95% AFUE, which means plastic sidewall venting and a condensate drain that were never there. The water heater left behind on the chimney has to be checked for draft and may need a liner. Those items are priced on the first visit, not found on install day.
In the 1990s–2010s subdivisions the furnace being replaced is usually already a condensing unit, which sounds like an easy swap and often is not. The gas code requires plastic vent pipe certified to ULC S636, and much of the pipe on first-generation condensing furnaces predates that requirement, so it comes out with the old furnace. The new vent ends on a side wall a few metres from the neighbour's, where termination clearances under CSA B149.1 and drifting snow both have to be planned for. These houses were also commonly fitted with more furnace than they need, so we size from a heat-loss calculation and often go down a size.
A basement second unit adds planning. The heat is off for the working hours of install day in two households, so the tenant needs notice, and the furnace room must be reachable. The calculation has to include the finished basement, and whether one furnace may keep serving both dwellings is a Building Code question worth settling before you buy; does a basement apartment need its own furnace sets out the rules. Where the City of Brampton Building Division requires a permit we pull it, and HVAC permits in Brampton explains when that applies.

Furnace Installation & Replacement in Brampton — FAQs
How much does a new furnace cost in Brampton?
Between $4,300 and $7,000 installed for a high-efficiency gas furnace, and $4,500–$6,500 for most homes. What moves the number is the furnace tier (two-stage and modulating models cost more than single-stage), new vent pipe, a condensate pump, and a chimney liner if the water heater stays on the old flue. Disposal of the old furnace, a $150–$400 value, is included. The furnace installation service page lists the cost rows.
Is it better to buy or rent a furnace in Brampton?
Buy, if you can pay for it or finance it. A purchased furnace costs one price and is yours when the house sells. A rental has a lower first payment but runs for years, often with annual increases, and has to be assumed by the buyer or bought out at closing. As a guide, a $5,000 high-efficiency furnace financed over 10 years lands near $60–$75 a month depending on the rate, and you own it at the end.
Can a furnace be replaced the same day mine dies?
Sometimes, when the size you need is in stock locally and the venting can be rebuilt that day. More often it is the next day, and in a cold snap we first try to get the old furnace running safely. Start with furnace repair in Brampton: a diagnostic tells you whether the furnace needs a part or a replacement, and you get both prices in writing before deciding.
Does a new gas furnace qualify for a rebate in Ontario?
Not much on its own. The Home Renovation Savings Program, run by Enbridge Gas and Save on Energy, aims its larger rebates at heat pumps and insulation, and a smart thermostat installed with the furnace qualifies for $75. Pairing the new furnace with a cold-climate heat pump as a hybrid system is where the larger amounts are, up to $7,500 on qualifying equipment. We tell you in writing what applies to your job before you sign.
How do I prepare a house with a basement tenant for install day?
Give the tenant notice that the heat and the furnace room will be out of use for the working day, and clear a path about a metre wide from the door to the furnace. Move anything stored against the furnace or the water heater. Tell us in advance if the thermostat is in the tenant's space. The Brampton service area page covers our other services, and you can request a furnace quote with photos of the current set-up.
