Overview

Heating service for Muskoka winters

Heating is not optional in this part of Ontario. Better Value services and installs furnaces, cold climate heat pumps, boilers and hydronic systems for homes, cottages and commercial buildings throughout Muskoka, Orillia and the surrounding lake communities, and has done so since 1989.

Because we work across all of these system types, our recommendations are not shaped by only carrying one kind of equipment. Forced air suits some homes; a hydronic or radiant system suits others; a cold climate heat pump paired with an existing furnace suits many. What matters is the building, the fuel available, the ductwork or piping already there, and how the space is actually used through the season.

Most no heat calls in January trace back to something that was already showing symptoms in October, a noisy blower, a system short cycling, a room that never warms up, a rising fuel bill. Booking service before the cold arrives is consistently cheaper than an emergency call during a cold snap.

Better Value approach

One call for plumbing and heating

Many heating problems also involve pipes, pumps or water. A company that does both can look at the whole system instead of one piece.

Questions

Heating Services: questions & answers

When should I book heating service?+

Late summer through early fall. Booking before the first cold snap means shorter waits and no emergency premium.

How often should my heating system be serviced?+

Annually for furnaces, boilers and heat pumps. Heat pumps that also provide cooling benefit from a check in spring as well.

Why is one room always cold?+

Usually airflow, a closed or crushed duct, a poorly balanced system, a blocked return, or undersized ductwork to that run. Duct sealing and balancing often fix it.

Should I repair or replace my heating system?+

It depends on the system's age, the cost of the repair against replacement, and how efficient the current unit is. We give you the numbers and let you decide.

Do you service cottages and seasonal properties?+

Yes. Seasonal start ups, shutdowns and freeze protection are a regular part of our heating work.
