Hiring a Heating Contractor

Whether using oil, natural gas or propane furnaces, we expect our fuel-burning heating systems to operate safely. Help safeguard you and your family by ensuring your heating systems is in good working order. Arrange to have your furnace inspected by a qualified inspector annually.
  • Hire only heating contractors who are registered with the Fuels Safety Program of TSSA.  If you are unsure about your heating contractor status, call TSSA at (416) 734-3300 or 1-877-682-TSSA (8772).
  • Avoid "fly-by-nighters", especially strangers who show up at your door offering "special" deals. Always ask the heating contractor to provide identification.
  • Ask friends or your fuel supplier for a recommendation.
  • Obtain at least three written estimates, outlining:
    • the type of work to be done;
    • who will be doing the work;
    • start date and completion date.
    • Determine whether repairs are covered by a warranty or maintenance plan.
