The best furnace repair in Winnipeg

All 12 furnace repair companies, ranked

Ranked by Google rating, weighted by how many reviews each has, so a 5.0 from a handful can't beat a 4.8 from hundreds. How we rank

How we picked

We started with the 105 furnace and heating companies we found on Google Maps in and around Winnipeg (businesses Google lists as an HVAC contractor, heating contractor or furnace repair service) and ranked them by Google rating, weighted by how many reviews each one has. Only businesses with at least 25 reviews could be ranked, and we kept the top 12. Some are plumbing and heating companies, like The Pleasant Plumber and Brown’s, because Google lists them as heating contractors too.

Then we read 1,167 of their most recent Google reviews to count what customers mention most, and checked the top picks’ own websites for hours, prices and guarantees on October 18, 2026. Those counts and checks decide the picks and the “best for” lines.

Rankings can't be bought: no business can pay to be ranked or to move up. Research, drafting and the header illustration used AI tools. The hours and prices we quote were checked on each company's own website before publishing. How we rank

Our top picks

Each pick is the best of the 12 at one thing, from counted reviews, hours or posted prices, so a pick can sit anywhere in the ranking. The number on its seal is its overall rank.

How to choose a furnace repair company in Winnipeg

Most furnace calls come down to one of three situations, and each one points to a different kind of company.

The heat is out right now

Check the simple things first: the thermostat setting and its batteries, the furnace power switch (it looks like a light switch near the furnace), and the filter. A clogged filter can shut a modern furnace down. If none of that helps, call a company that answers 24 hours. In our top 12, Fern's, The Pleasant Plumber, Tradesman Mechanical, Abundant Air and Green Department HVAC all list 24-hour service.

If you smell gas, do not touch switches. Manitoba Hydro's advice is to get everyone out of the house and call 911 from a safe place.

Your furnace is getting old

Many people use a rough test known as the $5,000 rule: multiply the furnace's age by the repair quote, and if the answer is over $5,000, look at replacing it instead. It is a rule of thumb, not a verdict. A company that will tell you plainly whether a repair is worth it is worth more than one that only sells replacements, which is why we picked Fern's for honest advice.

Before the first cold snap

A tune-up in September or October is cheaper and calmer than an emergency call in January. It is also when you find out whether a part is wearing out, while you still have time to compare quotes.

Before anyone starts

• Ask for the call-out fee and the hourly rate on the phone, before anyone drives over.
• For a replacement, get a second quote and ask what brand and model is being quoted.
• Ask what the repair warranty covers, and for how long: parts and labour are often different.
• Ask whether the company works on your furnace brand.

What furnace repair costs in Winnipeg

Of the picks whose websites we checked, only Fair Service Heating posts a service-call price: $89, plus a $99 clean and tune-up and free estimates on new equipment, all plus tax. Tradesman Mechanical posts maintenance plan prices instead: $165 for one year, $455 for three or $725 for five, plus a transaction fee, each with one maintenance visit a year and no after-hours fee for members. It also refunds up to $300 of an earlier repair if you replace your furnace with it within a year.

Everyone else quotes job by job. We checked all of this on each company's own website on October 18, 2026, and prices change, so confirm before booking.
