Furnaces
Most furnace calls start the same way: the house is cold and the furnace is not keeping up, not starting, or making a noise it did not make yesterday. We handle furnace repair and maintenance for Edmonton homes, and we start by figuring out what the furnace is actually doing before anyone talks about parts.
A furnace that short cycles, blows cool air, or struggles on the coldest nights is telling you something. Catching it early usually beats an emergency call in the middle of January. If a repair stops making sense for an aging furnace, we will tell you that plainly and explain the options before any money is spent.
Before winter settles in, a few simple checks can prevent a lot of breakdowns. Our guide walks through them: 7 steps to prep your furnace for the big freeze.
Water heaters and tankless systems
No hot water can mean a repair, a replacement, or a good reason to change the type of system in the house. We install, repair, and replace gas water heaters. We also install tankless systems for continuous hot water on demand.
Choosing between a storage tank, tankless, gas, and electric depends on the house, the existing lines and venting, and how your household uses hot water. If electric is the better fit for your home, we also offer electric water heater installation.
Gasfitting for renovations
A kitchen renovation might need a gas stove connection. A garage project might need heat. A larger renovation may need new lines before walls and finishes close everything in. Because EVCO handles plumbing, gasfitting, and contracting, those pieces can be planned together instead of discovered one at a time.
See how the trades fit together on our renovations page, or read more about EVCO's contracting work.
If you smell gas
Do not try to find the leak yourself. Leave the building, avoid turning electrical switches on or off, and do not use a phone inside the area where you smell gas. Once you are safely outside, call 911 or your gas utility's emergency line. After the immediate danger has been handled, call us about the repair or replacement work that follows.
How gas estimates work
We provide estimates, and most of the time the estimate is a range. The appliance, its location, the length and route of the line, access, venting, and the condition of the existing gas system can all affect the work. If something changes once the job is opened up, we explain it as it arises.
Our labour is backed by a one-year warranty. Read the warranty details.
Common questions
My furnace quit. Is that a call for you?
Yes. Furnace calls are some of the most common gas calls we get. Tell us what the furnace is doing, or not doing, and we will take it from there.
Can you add a gas line for one new appliance?
Yes. A stove, garage heater, BBQ, or water heater may each need its own line or extension from the existing system.
Do you work on commercial projects?
Yes. EVCO handles residential and commercial gasfitting projects in Edmonton and surrounding areas.
Can plumbing and gasfitting be done in the same project?
Yes. That is one of the advantages of using EVCO for a renovation or water heater replacement. The related plumbing and gas work can be planned together.
