Furnace Installation in St. James and West Winnipeg

We've been installing furnaces in Winnipeg homes since 1977. We know what works out here — the housing stock in St. James, Charleswood, and West Winnipeg tends to have specific quirks: older homes with cast iron radiators that got converted, mid-century bungalows with original ductwork, newer builds that need proper airflow design. We've dealt with all of it.

What We Install

High-Efficiency Gas Furnaces

96%+ AFUE. Best long-term cost if you're staying in the home. Requires proper venting to exterior — we handle that.

Standard Efficiency Gas Furnaces

80% AFUE. Lower upfront cost. Simpler installation in some cases. Good option for rental properties or shorter-term ownership.

Two-Stage & Variable Speed

Runs at lower capacity most of the time, ramps up when needed. More consistent temperatures, better humidity control in Winnipeg winters.

Single-Stage

On or off — simple and reliable. Lower upfront cost. Works well in properly sized applications.

Brands We Install

We work with all major brands: Lennox, Carrier, Goodman, Rheem, York, American Standard, Bryant, Daikin, Napoleon, KeepRite. We'll recommend what makes sense for your situation — not just what's highest margin for us.

Our Installation Process

Assessment and sizing — We calculate the correct furnace size for your home. Not guessing, not going by square footage alone. Actual Manual J load calculation.
Quote — Written quote with the price for the furnace, installation, and any additional work (new venting, ductwork modifications, thermostat). No surprises.
Installation day — We remove the old unit, install the new one, connect gas and electrical, test combustion, check airflow throughout the house. Usually done in one day.
Test and walkthrough — We test at full load, verify everything is working correctly, and show you how to operate the new thermostat.
Old unit removed — We take the old furnace with us. You don't have to worry about disposal.

Manitoba Hydro Rebates

Manitoba Hydro offers rebates on high-efficiency furnace upgrades. Ask us about it when you call — we'll tell you what's currently available and what qualifies. Rebates change, so we'll give you the current picture.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a new furnace cost in Winnipeg?

The furnace itself runs $1,200–$3,500 depending on brand, efficiency (AFUE rating), and size. Installation adds $800–$1,500 depending on what needs to be done. Total installed cost typically runs $2,000–$5,000 for most Winnipeg homes. We'll give you a firm quote before we start.

How long does furnace installation take?

Most residential furnace installations take 4–8 hours. We'll usually finish same-day. If there are complications — old venting that needs replacement, ductwork issues — it might go into the next day.

What size furnace do I need for my Winnipeg home?

It depends on your home's square footage, insulation quality, number of windows, and ceiling height. Winnipeg winters mean you need to size for -35°C. An undersized furnace won't keep up; an oversized one short-cycles and wears out faster. We do a proper load calculation before recommending anything.

What furnace efficiency (AFUE) should I choose?

In Winnipeg, high-efficiency (96%+ AFUE) usually pays for itself in natural gas savings within 5–8 years. Standard efficiency (80% AFUE) costs less upfront and is simpler to maintain. We'll walk you through both options with actual numbers.

Do you take away the old furnace?

Yes — old furnace removal and disposal is included. We haul it out, you don't have to deal with it.
