Our Step-By-Step Furnace Replacement Process

We make replacing your furnace straightforward:

Step 1: In-Home Heating Assessment

We assess your existing system, ductwork, and home layout, ask about your comfort goals and any problem areas, and use that to recommend the right options, correctly sized for your home.

Step 2: Clear Recommendations and a Quote

We explain your choices in plain terms, from a dependable mid-range furnace to a high-efficiency model, with upfront pricing and no surprises.

Step 3: Professional Furnace Installation

Our licensed HVAC technicians safely remove your old unit and install your new furnace. We work clean and efficiently, so your heat is restored without the stress.

Step 4: Testing, Walkthrough, and Cleanup.

Before we leave, we test your new furnace to confirm it's running safely and efficiently, walk you through how it works and how to get the most from it, and leave your space clean, exactly as we found it. We also make sure you understand your warranty and any maintenance that keeps the system running well.

How much does furnace replacement cost in Barrie?

Most furnace installations in Ontario range between $3,000 and $6,000, depending on the model, the size your home needs, and whether any ductwork changes are required. A larger or higher-efficiency system costs more up front but runs more cheaply for the life of the furnace.

The good news for Barrie homeowners: a new high-efficiency furnace may qualify for 2026 rebates, and financing can spread the cost into manageable monthly payments. See what you may qualify for in our guide to heat pump and heating rebates in Simcoe Muskoka, and explore financing options to make the upgrade affordable.

Repair or replace? We'll tell you honestly

Not every furnace problem means replacement, and we won't tell you otherwise. But there's a point where a new furnace is the smarter investment. It's usually time to replace when:

  • Your furnace is 15 or more years old and needing repairs more often
  • Repair costs are climbing toward the value of the unit itself
  • Your heating bills keep rising even though your usage hasn't changed
  • Your home isn't heating evenly, or the furnace struggles on the coldest days
  • Your furnace has failed or shuts down frequently

If a repair is the smarter call, we'll say so, that's our Barrie furnace repair service. But if replacement genuinely makes more sense for your home and budget, we'll give you a clear, honest recommendation and handle it properly.

I was in a tough spot when my hot water heater quit. I had SMHC come have the very next day. I was in need of a new hot water system as well as a water softener. The salesman was very helpful in figuring out a solution to my problem. Linzee was extremely helpful in facilitating my install, and getting everything lined up. The installers Collin and Rob were very professional. They did an immaculate job. It looks nicer than it did originally. All in all everyone I dealt with from start to finish has been a gem. Thank you, SMHC

My experience was nothing short of exceptional excellent customer service. Starting from the Sales Rep - Marshall and to Linzee for the Account Setup and the two gentlemen for the Installations Colin Van + Rob. The team did great and gave me a soft landing. Colin V + Rob did the installations in a record time and they were very professional. The job was neat and looked crisp & sweet! :) They both spent quality time to answer all my questions. Knowledgeable guys! I love the wifi and app integration to the water softener. I’m so impressed with the whole process. I’d recommend Ecowater to my friends and anyone looking for a good solution. I’d not say it’s a cheap system. I did shop around and had 4 competitors of water softeners visit my home and Ecowater turn out to be twice expensive ish, but I ended up with it. I did an honest comparison and they tick all the box, including quality of product, modern technology, plus wifi access for ease management and notifications. I love it!

I had SMHC install a radiant heater in my shop, they were great to deal with from start to finish. They came by took measurements went over various options to get the heat working in my shop and sent me multiple quote options. Once decided what I wanted installed they had me scheduled for the next week. The install crew was great incredibly tidy, they even worked late to get it finished same day. Which I appreciated so we could get the heat going! I would highly recommend the SMHC team for your next HVAC project incredible experience and competitive pricing!

Well, we smelled strong fumes outside exhausting from my furnace, so I googled for help. I came across Simcoe Muskoka Home Comfort (SMHC) and contacted them based on their reviews and I am glad I did. Scheduled a diagnostic service call and Technicians James and Eekim came and with their experience knew exactly what the problem was and confirmed my heat exchanger is cracked. Lucky for me warranty covered the replacement for the new exchanger as this was a premature failure. SMHC took care of everything for me with a very quick turnaround time. Removing and replacing a furnace heat exchanger is no small job and most of the furnace needed to be dismantled to get the old exchanger out and the new exchanger installed and then put everything back together again. James & Eekim did an amazing professional job and I highly recommend you do not hesitate to contact SMHC for all your HVAC needs.
