Emergency Services · Etobicoke, Ontario24/7 Emergency HVAC Repair in Etobicoke
24/7 emergency HVAC repair in Etobicoke is one phone call to (647) 801-1252, answered at any hour, with no overtime, weekend or holiday surcharge. A night call is billed like a weekday one: a $90–$150 diagnostic credited to the repair, and most fixes between $150 and $800. If you smell gas or a carbon monoxide alarm is sounding, get everyone outside and call 911 or Enbridge Gas before you call us.
What counts as an HVAC emergency in Etobicoke, and what to do first
Call now, at any hour, for four things: no heat when it is below freezing outside, a gas smell, a carbon monoxide alarm, or water pouring from a water heater or boiler. Add a failed air conditioner during a heat warning if anyone in the home is an infant, elderly or unwell. A furnace that is noisy but heating, one cold room, or an AC that quits on a mild night can wait for a booked visit. Since our rate is the same either way, the only question is safety and damage, not cost.
The right first call depends on the problem. For a gas smell, leave the house and phone Enbridge Gas's emergency line or 911 from outside; what to do if you smell gas lists the steps. For a sounding CO alarm, leave and call 911. For a neighbourhood power outage, check Toronto Hydro's outage map, because a gas furnace, a boiler and a tankless water heater all need electricity and none of them is broken.
Etobicoke's housing changes what an emergency looks like. In a post-war bungalow the furnace is the whole heating system, and water pipes in outside walls are the first to freeze once it stops. In the older boiler-heated homes of the Kingsway, Mimico and Long Branch the radiators and their piping hold water too, and a frozen radiator splits and floods when it thaws; what to do if heating pipes or radiators freeze covers that night. In a Humber Bay Shores tower, call the concierge first for a leaking or dead fan coil, because building staff control the riser valves and the heating plant, and then call us for the unit inside the suite.
When you call, we ask what you see, hear and smell, tell you the safe step to take, and give an honest arrival estimate based on where the truck is. The truck comes from North Service Road in Burlington, straight along the QEW and the Gardiner, and we will not quote a time we cannot keep. On site you get the fault and a written price before work starts; if Enbridge Gas has shut off and tagged an appliance, we correct the fault so it can be put back in service.

Emergency Services in Etobicoke — FAQs
Do you charge extra for night or weekend calls in Etobicoke?
No. There is no overtime, weekend or holiday surcharge. The diagnostic is $90–$150 at 3 a.m. on a holiday just as it is on a Tuesday morning, and it comes off the bill if you approve the repair. Many GTA companies add an after-hours dispatch fee of $150–$300, so ask any company you call for the total before a truck is sent.
The furnace died overnight in January. What do I do until you get here?
Keep the heat you have. Close doors to unused rooms, open the cabinet doors under sinks on outside walls, and let those taps run at a pencil-thin stream. A plug-in space heater is fine on its own circuit, away from fabric, with someone awake in the room. Never heat the house with a gas oven, a barbecue or a camp stove; they produce carbon monoxide indoors.
My carbon monoxide alarm went off. Who do I call?
Get everyone out, then call 911 from outside; the fire service measures CO levels and decides when the house is safe to re-enter. Call us after that to find the source: a cracked heat exchanger, a blocked chimney or vent, or a water heater spilling exhaust. Ontario requires a working CO alarm near sleeping areas in any home with a fuel-burning appliance, and an alarm past the expiry date printed on it should be replaced.
I live in a Humber Bay Shores condo and the fan coil is leaking. Can you come?
Yes, after two steps on your side. Turn the unit off at the thermostat and call the concierge or the after-hours building line, so staff can isolate the water to the unit and warn the suite below. Then call us. Most leaks are a blocked condensate pan or a failed control valve, both repairable inside the suite once the water is off and access is approved.
How fast can you reach Etobicoke from Burlington?
It depends on the hour and on the QEW, and we will not promise a number. The shop is on North Service Road in Burlington and Etobicoke is the first part of Toronto the highway reaches, so it is among the closer Toronto calls we take. When you phone, you get a realistic estimate for that moment and a call back if anything changes on the road.
