TORONTO TRUSTS OUR SERVICE
Expert Furnace Repair and Service, in Toronto Ontario
October in Toronto can be tricky. One day you're still thinking about summer, and the next morning you wake up to that first real chill in the air. That's when you reach for the thermostat and think, 'I hope the furnace is ready for another winter.'
We get calls every fall from homeowners across Toronto who are having that exact moment. Maybe it's a family in Leslieville who turns on their heat for the first time and notices it's taking forever to warm up the house. Or homeowners in Etobicoke who hear their furnace running constantly but still feel cold spots in the bedrooms.
These aren't necessarily emergencies, but they're signs that your furnace needs attention. And here's what we've learned after 75 years of Toronto winters – small furnace issues in October become big problems in January.

At Laird & Son, we believe the best time to think about your furnace service and repair Toronto is before you absolutely need it. Whether your system needs a simple tune-up or more comprehensive repairs, we help Toronto families stay comfortable and confident all year season long.
When winter hits Toronto hard, your furnace becomes your family's lifeline. That's why four generations of the Laird family have made it their mission to keep Toronto homes warm since 1948.
From our original location on Laird Drive (what George Laird called "Lairds on Laird") to serving families across every Toronto neighborhood today, we know what Toronto homeowners need when the temperature drops.
Common Furnace Problems Toronto Homeowners Face In Residential Homes
Over our 75 years serving Toronto, we've noticed that furnace problems tend to follow predictable patterns. The families we help in neighborhoods like The Annex, Danforth, and High Park often experience similar issues – and most of these problems start small before becoming major headaches.
Take a recent call from a family in Riverdale. Their furnace kept cycling on and off throughout the night, running up their energy bills and leaving some rooms cold while others felt like saunas. What started as a minor annoyance in early fall turned into hundreds of extra dollars on their winter heating bills and sleepless nights listening to their system struggle.
This is especially common in Toronto's older neighborhoods like Cabbagetown and Parkdale, where century homes have unique heating challenges. You might notice your living room feels perfect while the bedrooms upstairs are freezing. Or maybe your main floor is comfortable, but the basement stays cold no matter how high you set the thermostat.Â
When your furnace works overtime trying to satisfy that thermostat, it's not just uncomfortable – it's expensive. Your system runs longer, uses more energy, and wears out faster.
Nothing's more frustrating than opening your energy bill and seeing costs that seem to climb every month, even though you haven't changed how you use your heat. We see this often with families in North York and Scarborough who call us wondering why their bills jumped without warning.Â
Usually, it's because your furnace is working harder than it should. Maybe the filters are clogged, the system needs cleaning, or components are wearing out. Either way, you're paying hundreds more each winter for the same amount of heat.
That rattling sound at 2 AM? The furnace that turns on and off every few minutes? These aren't normal, and they're your system's way of telling you something needs attention.Â
Toronto homeowners often describe sounds like banging, squealing, or grinding coming from their basement. Sometimes the furnace runs constantly but never seems to heat the house properly. Other times, it cycles on and off so frequently that you start to worry about the electrical bill.Â
These symptoms usually mean components are wearing out, the system needs professional cleaning, or something's come loose that needs a trained eye to spot and fix.
TORONTO TRUSTS OUR SERVICE
Laird & Son's Toronto Furnace Service Solves Your Heating Problems
After four generations of serving Toronto families, we've developed a furnace service approach that addresses problems at their source, not just the symptoms.
- Our Complete Toronto Furnace Service Process
When our TSSA-registered technicians arrive at your home, they don't just look at the obvious problem. They inspect your entire heating system using professional diagnostic tools that most homeowners don't have access to.
We check everything: your heat exchanger for cracks, your filters for blockages, your ductwork for leaks, and all the moving parts that keep your family warm. This thorough approach means we catch potential issues before they turn into expensive emergency repairs on the coldest night of the year.
- Why Professional Service Makes the Difference
Here's the thing about furnace service and repair Toronto homeowners need to understand: your heating system is too complex and potentially dangerous for DIY fixes. Gas connections, electrical components, and carbon monoxide safety aren't areas where you want to learn as you go.
Our Metro-licensed technicians have the training and experience to work safely on all furnace brands and models. We use the right tools, follow safety protocols, and make sure your system operates efficiently and safely for your family.
Plus, professional service keeps your warranty intact. Many manufacturer warranties become void if unlicensed technicians or homeowners attempt repairs.
- Preventive Maintenance That Saves Money
Think of furnace maintenance as an investment, not an expense. Regular tune-ups help you avoid those middle-of-winter emergency calls that always seem to happen at the worst possible time.
A well-maintained furnace runs more efficiently, which means lower energy bills all winter long. It also lasts years longer than a neglected system, saving you thousands on premature replacement costs.
Most importantly, preventive maintenance helps identify small issues before they become costly problems. Take an under-fired gas valve, for example—if it starts sooting up the heat exchanger, addressing it early is far less expensive than replacing a damaged exchanger later. Left unchecked, it will cause damage over time.
HONEST ADVICE, NO PRESSURE
Why Toronto Families
Have Trusted Laird & Son for 75+ Years of Service
When George Laird started this business in 1948, he had a simple philosophy: treat every customer's home like it's your own family living there. That meant showing up on time, cleaning up after every job, and standing behind the work with genuine personal pride.
Today, his grandson Neil and family carry on that same commitment, training every technician to uphold the family values that built our reputation. It's why you'll see our distinctive trucks in neighbourhoods from The Beaches to Rosedale – often at the same houses where we've been taking care of families for decades.
Being Toronto's oldest independent Lennox dealer isn't just a title – it represents 75+ years of local knowledge that big corporate chains simply can't match. Neil Laird and his team understand Toronto's unique heating challenges, from the drafty heritage homes in Corktown that need special attention to the modern builds in North York with their own specific requirements.Â
We've worked on every type of furnace that's ever been installed in a Toronto home. That experience means we know exactly what to look for and how to fix it right the first time.
There's something to be said for working with people who understand your neighborhood. We know that homes in Riverdale have different heating patterns than houses in Etobicoke. We understand how Toronto's climate affects different furnace types and what problems tend to show up in homes of different ages.Â
When our technicians walk into your home, they're not just seeing another service call – they're seeing a Toronto home with specific needs that require local expertise.
Here's what makes us different from the big heating companies: when you call Laird & Son, you're not just another customer number. You're a Toronto family talking to a Toronto family business that takes personal responsibility for keeping you comfortable.Â
Our TSSA registration and Metro licensing aren't just paperwork – they represent our commitment to doing this work the right way. We hold our technicians accountable for professional behavior because we know they're representing not just our company, but our family name that's been trusted in Toronto for four generations.Â
When we finish a job at your home, we clean up completely and make sure you understand exactly what we did and why. That's the kind of service you get when the business owner's name is on the truck and his reputation depends on every single job we do.
