Repair or replace
Should you repair or replace your furnace?
The answer is not always the expensive one, and not always the cheap one. Here is how we decide, in the same words we would use standing in your basement.
Repair it
The unit has real life left and the fault is a part, not the design.
- Under about twelve years old and it has been serviced along the way
- The fault is a flame sensor, an igniter, a pressure switch or a capacitor
- The heat exchanger is sound and the combustion test comes back clean
- The part is still in production, so it is a morning of labour, not a parts hunt
- It is already a condensing furnace, so the efficiency gain from replacing is small
Replace it
The money is going into a unit that will ask again next season.
- Past fifteen, and this is the second or third call in as many seasons
- The repair quote comes to anywhere near a third of a new installation
- A cracked heat exchanger, which is a red tag and the unit comes off the same day
- It is a mid-efficiency unit venting up the chimney at roughly 80% AFUE
- It was oversized when it went in, so it will never stop short cycling
If a repair gets you another few good seasons we will say so. Nobody here works on commission.
In every furnace replacement
What's included in a Calgary furnace installation
Two quotes for the same furnace can be thousands apart, and it is almost never the box that explains it. These four are what you still have after the van leaves.
The ductwork and filter it breathes through
A new furnace on an undersized return runs hot and loud. The filter goes in the right size, in a slot you can reach.
A thermostat that suits the furnace
A two-stage furnace on a single-stage thermostat runs like a single-stage one. Wired, configured, and shown to you before we go.
The permit, and the paperwork after
The permit pulled, the inspection booked in your name, and the equipment warranty registered. Two years on the labour.
The process
How a furnace installation works with TNT
Three steps, and the same person start to finish. Whoever comes out and gives you the quote is the one who returns to see the installation is done properly.
We measure first
A real visit to your Calgary house. The sizing, static pressure across the ductwork, gas line capacity, venting route.
The price up front
Equipment, labour, venting, gas, electrical*, permit and disposal, all itemised on one sheet before anything is ordered.
In and commissioned
Boot covers on, drop sheets down, old unit out and the new furnace installed. Every technician in your house is a TNT employee.
The quote is written on the visit, not posted to you three days later. If your system is down right now, skip the form and call. 24/7 emergency service, an owner answers or calls back.
*Electrical sometimes needs a licensed electrician. Where it does, it is discussed on the visit and added to the quote afterwards rather than priced on the spot.
New furnace timeline
How long does a furnace installation take in Calgary?
Most furnace installations in Calgary take a single day. A straight swap is out, in, commissioned and cleaned up by mid afternoon.
One day, most of the time
A straight swap in the same footprint. Old unit out, the new one set and levelled, gas and venting reconnected, thermostat configured, combustion tested.
Add most of a second day
If the venting has to come off the chimney. Sidewall PVC means new penetrations to cut, clearances to hold at the terminations, and a condensate drain to route.
Add part of a second day
If the gas line is undersized for the new unit, or the return is strangled. Both get priced before the job is booked, never discovered halfway through it.
Which of those three applies is decided on the quoting visit. If it is worth fixing instead, we book Furnace Repair & 24/7 Emergency instead.
Paying for it
Paying for a new furnace over time
A furnace installation Calgary homeowners did not plan for is a four-figure decision.
Monthly promotions on installs
Promotions on new installations change through the year, so ask what is running when you book. Once approved, you sign off directly with the lender.
15% off on every new install
The discount comes off the price we quote you. There is no list price marked up first so the saving looks bigger than it is. Ask about it when you book.
The full price in writing first
Equipment, labour, and what is included, itemised before any work starts. If something turns up on the day, you decide before we carry on.
Two year warranty on the labour
If our workmanship is at fault we come back and fix it, no argument. The equipment carries its own manufacturer warranty on top of that.
Subject to a third-party credit check. Approval and terms are set by the lender, not by us, and we will tell you what you qualify for before you commit.
Why TNT
Why Calgary homeowners choose TNT
A furnace is a box a hundred companies in Calgary can sell you. What separates one furnace installation Calgary quote from the next is who bolts it in.
Family-run
Since 2020
Started by family and close friends and still run by them. No head office, no franchise agreement, and no regional manager between you and the work.
In-house crew
No subcontractors, on any job
The technician in your mechanical room is a TNT employee, not a crew hired for the week. The standard is the same on the fifth job of the day as on the first.
Answered, not queued
24/7, answers or calls back
No heat at 2am in a Calgary February is an emergency, not a ticket. Ring at any hour and an owner answers or calls back, tells you what to check, and when someone can be there.
Priced in writing
Before a tool leaves the van
An itemised quote covering equipment, labour and what is included. 15% off new installs, plus financing with promotions that change through the year.
Commissioned properly
Combustion tested every install
Gas pressure set, venting verified, static pressure read across the ductwork, and a combustion analysis run before we leave. Two year warranty on the labour.

TNT Heating & Air Conditioning
5.0Rated on Google
Every review TNT has ever received is a five star review. These are the Calgary homeowners whose furnace installation we did.
TNT installed the furnace system on our new build, and then we proceeded to get our AC with TNT as well. Jamie was super responsive, kind, and informative… In addition to being fairly priced.
Christina Golubic
Furnace Installation
Jamie and his team provide incredible expertise. They gave me consultative choices to improve my existing system, and clean installation done right… all at a fair price.
Trevor
Furnace Installation
Great job and great price.
Murray Jonasson
Furnace Installation
It was -30 kind of winter day… other companies asked for us to wait over 24 hours… Jamie came to service our non heating furnace within an hour and fixed the problem quickly.
Adelia Timirboulatova
Amazing service. I would not go with anyone else. Jamie tells you the truth, stands by his work and follows up.
Robert Milne
Not only was TNT very reasonably priced, they fit me into their busy schedule during the heat spell and got me all set up in no time.
John Klassen
Jaime was professional and kept me informed throughout the entire process… His technician arrived on time, was knowledgeable, and took the time to answer all of my questions.
Glenn Jefferies
Would highly recommend. Check with TNT before making any decision regarding heating or AC install. Believe me. They were amazing.

Choosing the furnace
Choosing your new furnace
Every furnace installation Calgary homeowners get from us is high efficiency condensing, 95% AFUE or better. The choice you actually make is staging, which is how finely the furnace controls its output.
Single-stage
One output, on or off
Fires at full output every time it runs, so the house swings either side of the thermostat. Defensible on a small tight house, a rental, or one you are selling.
Two-stage
Low fire and high fire
Runs on low fire for most of a Calgary winter and steps up when it turns cold. Longer, gentler cycles, quieter operation, and fewer swings through a chinook.
Modulating
Variable, with an ECM blower
Trims its output in fine increments instead of steps, paired with a variable-speed blower. The most even heat and the most expensive, and it wants sound ductwork.
Bring us the quotes you already have. We will walk you through what each one is proposing, line by line, so you can compare them on the same terms.
What it costs
What drives furnace installation cost in Calgary
We do not publish a price here. The honest spread is too wide for one number to mean anything until somebody has seen your mechanical room. These six things are what your quote is made of.
The output your house actually needs
Worked out by measuring your own house, not copied off the old nameplate. Paying for output the house cannot use is how a quote gets inflated.
The efficiency and staging you pick
A single-stage condensing unit and a modulating one do the same job at very different prices. This is the one line on the quote you genuinely control.
Venting, and whether it has to move
Coming off a chimney and out a sidewall in PVC means new penetrations, correct terminations and clearances, and a condensate drain that will not freeze.
The gas line capacity you have
The pipe has to carry the new furnace with the hot water tank, the range and the garage heater all running. Where it will not, it gets upsized and priced.
The ductwork you already have
We read static pressure before quoting. An undersized return strangles any furnace put in front of it, so if one needs opening up you see it on the sheet.
What goes in at the same time
A humidifier, a smart thermostat, a filter cabinet, or an air conditioner while the plenum is open. One visit costs less than two, and none of it is required.
The number you approve is the number you pay. The 15% off new installs comes off the real quote, and HVAC financing in Calgary runs with monthly promotions on new installations, subject to a credit check.

Furnace installation Calgary FAQs
Furnace installation Calgary questions
The ten questions we get asked most about furnace installation Calgary homeowners book, price included. If yours is not here, ring the number and ask an owner.
- There is no honest single figure, because furnace replacement cost in Calgary is set by your house rather than by the box. What moves it is the output your house actually needs, the efficiency and staging you choose, whether the venting has to come off the chimney, and what the gas line and ductwork can carry. All of it is itemised on a free written quote, with 15% off new installs taken off the real price.
- You get the date on the quoting visit, not after you have signed. A straight swap of a common size is the quickest thing we book, because nothing has to be redesigned around it. A job that needs the venting converted, the gas line upsized or a return opened up takes longer to schedule. If your system is down right now, ring the number instead of filling in the form.
- Yes. Replacing a gas furnace is permitted work, and the permit is pulled for the job rather than left with you to sort out. It sits as a line on the quote you approve, so it is never a surprise on the invoice, and the inspection is booked after the furnace is installed and running. If a quote you are comparing never mentions a permit, ask where it went.
- Fifteen to twenty years is a normal life for a furnace in Calgary. Past fifteen, an expensive part buys you one more winter where a replacement buys twenty. Air conditioners run twelve to fifteen years and hot water tanks eight to twelve, so we will tell you what else is near the end while we are down there.
- There is no single best brand, and an installer who leads with one is selling you a supplier relationship rather than a furnace. Judge the unit on what changes how it lives in your house: the AFUE rating, whether it is single-stage, two-stage or modulating, whether the blower is an ECM, and what the maker covers. Then judge the installation, because a good furnace fitted badly fails early.
- Two year warranty on the labour. If our workmanship is what failed, we come back and fix it, and there is no argument about whose problem it is. The furnace carries its own manufacturer warranty on the equipment, and we register it for you so the coverage actually starts, which is the step most often skipped after an install.
- Sometimes, and it depends on the size you need and what the venting and gas line involve. Ring the number first, because an owner answers or calls straight back and can often work out over the phone whether you are looking at a part or a replacement. Where a swap can be done straight away we do it, and where it cannot we will say so. The emergency line runs 24/7.
- Repair it if the unit is under about twelve years old, the heat exchanger is sound, and the fault is a part rather than the design: an igniter, a flame sensor, a pressure switch. Replace it if it is past fifteen and this is the second or third call in as many seasons, if the repair comes to anywhere near a third of a new install, or if it is mid-efficiency and venting up the chimney. A cracked heat exchanger is not a decision at all.
- A furnace installation in Calgary starts before the tools do: boot covers on and drop sheets down before anything is carried through the house. The gas is isolated, the venting disconnected and the power shut off at the panel, then the old unit leaves on our truck. The new furnace is set, the venting and condensate drain run, and the thermostat configured for the staging you paid for. Before anyone leaves, the manifold pressure is set, the temperature rise checked against the manufacturer range, and a combustion analysis run.
- Rebate programs open and close, and the amounts, the eligible equipment and the deadlines move with them, so we do not print figures here that would be wrong by the time you read them. What we will do is tell you what is actually open when we quote you, and whether the unit you are considering qualifies. The current position sits on our HVAC financing in Calgary page.
