We used Francis Plumbing & Heating in the fall to replace our hot water tank and furnace in the same week after a friend recommended them. The experience was very smooth, professional, efficient, and the jobs were done on time, cleanly and were well priced. We also just had our air conditioner die in the first heat wave of the season and did not hesitate for a second before calling up Francis Plumbing & Heating. Once again, they delivered with exceptional responsiveness, quality, and value. Every one we've dealt with from that first phone call to receive a quote, to working with admin for payment and scheduling, to the employees in our home doing the installation have been amazing; so polite and friendly, so knowledgeable and helpful, so hardworking and efficient. HVAC and plumbing jobs are never fun because they are inconvenient and tend to cost a lot but Francis Plumbing & Heating Ltd has made our experiences very positive! We 10/10 recommend them.

Francis Plumbing & Heating has impressed me with their courteous and professional service from initial quote with advice that saved us hundreds of dollars and felt more like a masterclass in heating and ventilation than a sales pitch (thanks Ray) to follow-up communication without pressure from Ray and Jeff, to personal-touch front-office booking and communication, all the way to COVID-19 precautions during installation and obvious pride of workmanship from the technicians involved (Jeff, Ian, and Jordan H). The prices are fair, and competitive. The quality of the workmanship is top-notch. The customer service leaves the impression that Francis Plumbing & Heating is a reputable company is proud of their reputation, but doesn't rest on their laurels, and sees every project as an opportunity to earn your respect and future business.

Francis Plumbing was great! I was able to get the installation just a few days after my quote. Ian and Ray were great during the installation process, and when we discovered an issue with the installation, they were able to find me a suitable alternative and still install it on the same day.

We have used Francis Plumbing & Heating for three years now and have no regrets using them on each and every project. They are a stellar team of professionals I would 100% recommend to anyone looking for work to be done. They helped us on our new home to assess the plumbing, install outdoor faucets, get a new efficient water heater in, and to help us connect all our new appliances. We've had them back for furnace maintenance, new faucets, new toilets, etc. This week they installed a heat pump system for us and helped manage all the work to have an energy assessment for the available rebates. The new heat pump is amazing - quiet, efficient, and functions so well. The team at Francis is always friendly, kind, professional, and careful. They do clean work that is always really well managed, and they clean up fully after all their work. They are a fantastic group who communicates clearly, who let us know our options, and offer great financing too. We would work with no one else.

We had Pat and Kyle E install a ductless heat pump and they did an excellent job. They were fast, resourceful and they consulted us about all the major decisions. I highly recommend Francis Plumbing & Heating for your next home project.

A central furnace operates by drawing in cool air from your home through a return duct, then using a heat source such as natural gas, propane, oil or electric heating elements to generate heat in a heat exchanger. A blower fan then circulates the heated air through the furnace and into ducts that distribute it throughout your home. The thermostat monitors the indoor temperature and controls the central furnace, cycling it on and off to maintain the desired temperature. Finally, exhaust venting safely removes any combustion byproducts in gas central furnaces. This process efficiently warms your home and provides consistent comfort.

A furnace installation is a comprehensive process that encompasses several crucial steps to ensure your home’s heating system operates efficiently and safely.

Then, they will remove your old furnace if you have one, disconnecting it from the ductwork and electrical supply.

Next, the new furnace will be carefully installed, connected to the existing ductwork, and integrated into your home’s electrical system. Proper ventilation and exhaust systems will also be installed to guarantee the safe operation of the furnace. After the furnace installation, technicians will conduct rigorous testing to verify that the new furnace is functioning correctly and efficiently.

A safety check will be performed to ensure that all components meet safety standards and pose no hazards. Finally, you will receive detailed instructions on how to operate and maintain your new furnace to maximize its lifespan and performance.
