Everything you need to know about furnace prices, installation costs, brand comparisons, and available rebates in the Greater Toronto Area.
A new furnace in Toronto costs between $3,000 and $7,500 installed in 2026, depending on efficiency, brand, and home size. Manufacturer rebates are available seasonally; government rebate programs currently focus on heat pumps, not standard gas furnaces.
Mid-Efficiency
$3,000–$5,000
80% AFUE, installed
High-Efficiency
$4,500–$7,500
96%+ AFUE, installed
Modulating
$5,500–$8,500
Variable speed, installed
Furnace prices vary significantly based on efficiency rating. Higher-efficiency models cost more upfront but save hundreds per year on natural gas bills. All prices below include professional installation in the Toronto area.
| Furnace Type | Efficiency (AFUE) | Installed Cost | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mid-Efficiency | 80% AFUE | $3,000–$5,000 | Budget-conscious, rental properties |
| High-Efficiency | 96%+ AFUE | $4,500–$7,500 | Most homeowners, best long-term value |
| Modulating / Variable Speed | 97%–98% AFUE | $5,500–$8,500 | Maximum comfort, quietest operation |
Note: Mid-efficiency (80% AFUE) furnaces are being phased out across Canada. Most new installations in Ontario use high-efficiency models. Current government rebate programs do not cover standard gas furnaces — they focus on cold-climate heat pumps and heat-pump water heaters.
Brand choice is one of the biggest factors in furnace pricing. Here is what you can expect to pay for a new furnace from each major manufacturer, fully installed in the GTA.
Premium reliability, excellent warranty support
Industry-leading efficiency ratings
Best value, strong warranty, budget-friendly
Built for durability, commercial-grade quality

No two furnace installations are identical. Several factors determine your final price beyond the cost of the unit itself. Understanding these variables helps you budget accurately.
Larger homes need higher-BTU furnaces. A 1,200 sq ft bungalow may only need a 60,000 BTU unit, while a 3,000 sq ft two-storey home could require 100,000+ BTUs. Bigger units cost more.
If your existing ductwork is undersized, damaged, or poorly sealed, modifications may be needed. Duct repairs or upgrades can add $500–$2,000 to the installation cost.
Higher AFUE means more of every dollar of gas is converted to heat. A 96% AFUE furnace costs more upfront than an 80% model, but saves $300–$600 annually on heating bills.
Premium brands like Lennox and Carrier cost more but offer better warranties and quieter operation. Features like variable-speed blowers and modulating gas valves add to the price.
Switching from mid-efficiency to high-efficiency requires new PVC venting. Difficult access, gas line upgrades, or electrical work can increase labour costs by $300–$1,000.
The City of Toronto requires permits for furnace installations. Permit fees typically run $150–$300. A reputable installer handles the permit process for you.
Not every furnace issue requires a full replacement. Here is how to determine whether a furnace repair makes more sense than investing in a new unit.
Not sure which option is right for you? Our technicians provide honest assessments. We will never recommend a replacement when a repair will do. Book a diagnostic appointment and we will give you a straightforward recommendation.
Standard gas furnaces and air conditioners are not covered by current Ontario or federal rebate programs. Current programs focus on cold-climate heat pumps and heat-pump water heaters. Here is what is actually available when buying a new furnace.
Ontario’s Home Renovation Savings Program targets cold-climate heat pumps — not standard gas furnaces. If you are replacing a furnace and want to access rebates up to $7,500, the eligible path is upgrading to a qualifying cold-climate heat pump instead. Standard furnaces are not rebated under any current federal or provincial program. See our heat pump cost guide if you are weighing that option.
While not a rebate, Enbridge’s Sustain program provides lease-to-own financing for furnaces, ACs, and heat pumps with low monthly payments and no large upfront cost. Imperial Heating is an authorized Sustain installer. Check our financing page for current terms.
$200 – $1,000+
Carrier, Lennox, Trane, and other manufacturers run seasonal promotions offering instant rebates or extended warranties on qualifying models. These can be combined with government rebates for maximum savings.

Learn MoreProper sizing is critical. An undersized furnace will struggle to heat your home on the coldest Toronto winter days, while an oversized unit will short-cycle, wasting energy and wearing out components faster. Here are general guidelines based on home size.
| Home Size (sq ft) | Recommended BTUs | Typical Cost (Installed) |
|---|---|---|
| 800 – 1,200 sq ft | 40,000 – 60,000 BTU | $3,000 – $5,000 |
| 1,200 – 1,800 sq ft | 60,000 – 80,000 BTU | $3,500 – $6,000 |
| 1,800 – 2,500 sq ft | 80,000 – 100,000 BTU | $4,500 – $7,000 |
| 2,500 – 3,500+ sq ft | 100,000 – 120,000+ BTU | $5,500 – $8,500 |
