When does it make sense to retrofit instead of repair?

If your furnace or AC is 12–15+ years old, has needed multiple major repairs, or is running short cycles, retrofitting usually returns better long-term value. We do the math with you — sometimes repair is the right answer.

How much does a furnace or AC retrofit cost?

Most residential retrofits land between $4,500 and $11,000 depending on fuel, capacity, efficiency tier, and ductwork. We provide a written, all-in quote after a free in-home assessment.

Are rebates and financing available?

Yes. We help identify federal, provincial, and utility rebates, and we offer third-party financing plus the Canex Plan for eligible customers. Pre-qualification is a soft credit check with no impact on your score.

How long does a retrofit take?

Most furnace or AC retrofits are completed in a single day. Heat pump retrofits or projects with electrical upgrades may run 1–2 days.

Customer feedback

Retrofits reviews

Real comments from retrofits customers across the Ottawa Valley.

Old furnace was on its last legs. Bergeron showed me the repair-vs-replace numbers, helped me pick the right size, and had it installed in a day. Bills are down already.

Mike R.Furnace Retrofit, Petawawa

We replaced our 18-year-old AC and added a heat pump at the same time. The whole crew was professional and they walked us through every step.

Janet L.Heat Pump Retrofit, Deep River

Honest assessment — they didn't push us to replace the furnace when a repair was the right call. Got the retrofit two years later when it actually made sense.
