HVAC Cost FAQs
How much does furnace repair cost in Calgary?
Most furnace repairs in Calgary cost between $150 and $500. Simple repairs like ignitor or thermostat replacement cost $150-$250. Major repairs like heat exchanger replacement run $500-$1,500. Wagner Mechanical provides upfront quotes before any work begins.
Is a new furnace worth the cost?
A new high-efficiency furnace (96%+ AFUE) can reduce your heating costs by 20-40% compared to an older unit. If your furnace is over 15 years old or repeatedly breaking down, replacement typically saves money over the next 5-10 years compared to ongoing repairs.
Do you offer financing for HVAC equipment?
Yes. We offer flexible financing options to help spread the cost of a new furnace, AC, or heat pump. Contact us at 403-971-8821 to discuss available financing programs for your project.
Why does HVAC cost more in Calgary than other cities?
Calgary's extreme climate demands higher-capacity, more robust HVAC equipment than warmer cities. Cold-climate rated systems, proper low-temperature installation practices, and code compliance for Alberta winters all affect pricing. The good news is that high-efficiency equipment in Calgary pays back faster due to the high heating demand.
