Honest advice, expert installation, and year-round comfort for your home or cottage.
Replacing a heating and cooling system is a big decision. Whether your current heat pump has stopped working in the middle of a cold snap or it’s just costing too much to run, SMHC is here to help you navigate your options.
We don’t believe in high-pressure sales. Instead, we focus on helping you find the right system for your specific home—whether that’s a historic house in downtown Orillia, a new build in West Ridge, or a lakeside cottage in Muskoka.
For over 10 years, families across Simcoe and Muskoka have trusted us to keep their homes comfortable. We aren’t just installing boxes; we are ensuring your home can handle our unique climate, from humid summers to freezing, lake-effect winters.
Here is what you can expect when you work with us:
Our team consists of fully trained, licensed, and 313D-certified technicians. We look at your ductwork, your home’s insulation, and your heating needs to recommend a solution that actually works—not just the most expensive unit on the truck.
A heat pump that works in Toronto might struggle in Muskoka. We recommend systems specifically rated for our colder northern climate, ensuring you stay warm even when the temperature drops well below freezing.
No hidden fees and no surprises. We explain exactly what your home needs, how the installation works, and what it will cost upfront. You stay in control of the decision.
It isn’t always obvious when a system needs to be swapped out versus simply repaired. However, hanging onto an old unit too long can end up costing you more in energy bills and emergency fixes.
Watch for these signs that a replacement might be the smarter choice:
Moving to a modern heat pump isn't just about avoiding a breakdown—it’s an upgrade to your daily life.
Modern cold-climate heat pumps are incredibly efficient. By moving heat rather than generating it, they can significantly lower your electricity usage compared to older electric baseboards or aging furnaces.
Newer systems offer variable-speed technology. This means rather than blasting full-on and then shutting off (creating hot and cold swings), the system runs gently in the background to maintain a perfect, even temperature.
If you are used to a heat pump that rattles and hums, you will be surprised by how quiet modern units are. They are designed to blend into the background of your life.
Once your new system is installed, we want to make sure it lasts as long as possible. A heat pump is a workhorse—it runs all year long, providing both heating and cooling.
To keep it running efficiently:
We treat every home like it’s our own, and we are proud of the reputation we’ve built in the community. With over 1,200 five-star reviews and an A+ BBB rating, our focus is on leaving every customer happy, warm, and comfortable.
