Furnace Repair & Replacement in Calgary

Calls answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week

Smell gas (a rotten-egg smell)? Don’t call us first. Leave the house now, then call ATCO Gas’s 24-hour emergency line at 1-800-511-3447, or 911, from outside. Carbon monoxide alarm going off? Get everyone out and call 911.

A grey furnace on a concrete basement floor, with two white plastic vent pipes running into the wall, metal ductwork above it and a pipe with a yellow shut-off valve beside it.

No heat, cold air coming from the vents, or a furnace that keeps turning on and off. Tell us what it’s doing, roughly how old it is and whether anyone at home can’t be without heat for long. We’ll arrange a certified gas fitter and confirm current availability.

Furnace Repair

A furnace that stops heating doesn’t always need replacing. The gas fitter starts by finding which part has failed: the ignition, a sensor, the blower, the controls or the venting.

No heat

If the furnace won’t start, or starts and shuts off again, tell us whether it makes any sound and whether a light is blinking on it.
Cold air from the vents

The fan may be running while the burners aren’t lighting, or the furnace may be shutting itself off for safety. Have it looked at rather than resetting it over and over.
Turning on and off every few minutes

Short cycling can come from a clogged filter, a furnace that’s overheating, a sensor or the thermostat. Change the filter first, and call if it keeps happening.
Banging, squealing or rattling

A loud bang when it lights, a squealing blower or a rattling panel is worth checking before it turns into a breakdown.
Water around the furnace

High-efficiency furnaces make water and drain it away through a small line. A leak or a blocked drain line can stop the furnace.
A blinking light or error code

Many furnaces flash a code when they shut down. Tell us the pattern when you call (for example, three flashes). It helps the gas fitter come prepared.

Furnace Replacement

Replacement may make sense when:

The furnace keeps breaking down after repairs
Parts are no longer available
The gas fitter finds a safety problem that can’t be repaired
Some rooms never get warm, even after repairs
You’re finishing the basement or renovating, and the heating needs to change

Replacing a furnace needs a gas permit, and the certified gas fitter doing the work takes it out. We tell you before booking who quotes and installs the new furnace.

Boilers, Gas Lines and Garage Heaters

The same certified gas fitters repair and replace boilers, and install gas lines for ranges, fireplaces, BBQs and garage heaters. Gas line work needs a permit too.

What happens when you call Copperline?

We keep the initial questions brief and focused on getting the right help to your property.

What problem are you dealing with?
When do you need someone to inspect the problem?
Where in Calgary are you located?

Once we understand those three points, we can explain the next step and confirm current availability.

How Copperline works

Questions

Furnaces are gas work, and in Alberta that needs a certified gas fitter. That’s who we arrange. Alberta’s plumbing apprenticeship includes gas fitting, so many plumbers hold both tickets.

Call any time; we answer 24 hours a day. We tell you when a gas fitter is available.

Yes. Replacing a furnace needs a gas permit, and the certified gas fitter doing the work takes it out.

It depends on the furnace’s age, what has failed and how often it has needed work. The gas fitter explains the options and the price before any work starts.
