## Key pages
- [Home](https://furnacenews.ca/): FurnaceNews.ca tracks the standards, gas rates and programs that move furnace demand in Canada, cites every source with its date, and helps furnace companies turn that knowledge into calls.
- [Services](https://furnacenews.ca/services/): We offer four services built around how furnace work is actually won in Canada. Most companies need one or two to start; the right choice depends on your market's fuel mix, your season and what your website already does.
- [Coverage](https://furnacenews.ca/areas/): We follow furnace rules, gas rates and programs in all ten provinces and three territories. The furnace market looks very different in Calgary, Montréal, Halifax and Whitehorse, and so should the marketing.
- [About](https://furnacenews.ca/about/): FurnaceNews.ca is a Canadian newsroom and marketing service for furnace contractors, run from Vancouver, BC, within the Sedighi.ca and SAZ.ca group and led by Ali Sedighi, MBA.
- [Results](https://furnacenews.ca/results/): These are real, public results from heating and HVAC clients. They show what the methods behind our furnace marketing have done elsewhere; they do not predict what your company will get.
- [Pricing](https://furnacenews.ca/pricing/): Plans from $2,998 a month. Websites from $3,500. Prices are in Canadian dollars, Canadian clients add provincial GST/HST, and a 7-day free trial with no credit card is available.
- [FAQ](https://furnacenews.ca/faq/): Straight answers to the questions furnace company owners ask before working with us, from price and contracts to who owns the website and how we report results.
- [Contact](https://furnacenews.ca/contact/): Phone or text (604) 632-4959, or write to Ali@Sedighi.ca. Our hours: Mon–Fri 9–6 Pacific. We usually reply within one business day.

## Services
- [Dual-fuel campaigns](https://furnacenews.ca/services/dual-fuel-campaigns/): We market furnace-plus-heat-pump systems and program-funded conversions to the households that actually qualify, with every program claim linked to its source and dated.
- [Furnace local search](https://furnacenews.ca/services/furnace-local-search/): We set up and maintain the parts of search that decide whether a nearby homeowner finds your furnace company: your Google Business Profile, your furnace pages and the reviews behind them.
- [Replacement leads](https://furnacenews.ca/services/furnace-replacement-leads/): We run campaigns that reach homeowners whose furnace is old, failing or expensive to run, and we judge them by booked replacement estimates and closed jobs rather than clicks.
- [Rate and rebate content](https://furnacenews.ca/services/rate-and-rebate-content/): We turn each gas-rate decision, rebate revision or standards change in your area into a short, accurate page or post for your website, linked to the official source and dated.

## Coverage
- [Alberta](https://furnacenews.ca/areas/alberta/): Alberta is Canada's most gas-dependent heating market. Three in four households heat mainly with natural gas, winters are long and cold, and in October 2026 the regulated gas price was far below the province's rebate trigger.
- [British Columbia](https://furnacenews.ca/areas/british-columbia/): British Columbia is a split market: natural gas is the largest primary heating fuel, electricity is close behind, and provincial rebates in 2026 favour moving gas homes to heat pumps or dual-fuel systems.
- [Manitoba](https://furnacenews.ca/areas/manitoba/): Manitoba splits between natural gas and electricity, has one of the longest heating seasons in southern Canada, and its 2026 programs focus on heat pumps for electrically heated and lower-income homes.
- [New Brunswick](https://furnacenews.ca/areas/new-brunswick/): New Brunswick heats mainly with electricity and heat pumps, so furnace work centres on replacing oil systems, backing up heat pumps and serving the province's bilingual customers well.
- [Newfoundland and Labrador](https://furnacenews.ca/areas/newfoundland-and-labrador/): Newfoundland and Labrador heats mainly with electricity, oil is a distant second, and the takeCHARGE Oil to Electric program remained open as of October 2026 for homes switching away from oil or propane.
- [Nova Scotia](https://furnacenews.ca/areas/nova-scotia/): Nova Scotia still has many oil-heated homes alongside a fast-growing heat pump base. In 2026, oil-to-heat-pump grants closed and furnace companies need to rethink how they reach oil customers.
- [Ontario](https://furnacenews.ca/areas/ontario/): Ontario is Canada's largest furnace market by volume. Most homes heat with natural gas, Enbridge Gas prices change every quarter through the Ontario Energy Board, and provincial rebates in 2026 centre on heat pumps.
- [Prince Edward Island](https://furnacenews.ca/areas/prince-edward-island/): PEI has the highest share of homes heated mainly by heat pumps in our data, and oil is still the second fuel. For furnace companies, much of the work is keeping backup heat reliable and helping oil households decide what comes next.
- [Quebec](https://furnacenews.ca/areas/quebec/): Quebec is mostly electric, so its furnace market is small and specific: gas furnaces as backup in dual-energy homes, the end of oil heating, and marketing planned in French first.
- [Saskatchewan](https://furnacenews.ca/areas/saskatchewan/): Saskatchewan is a gas furnace province with long, very cold winters, a single gas utility and a utility rebate that pays $325 for a 97% AFUE furnace as of October 2026.
- [Territories](https://furnacenews.ca/areas/territories/): The territories have Canada's longest heating seasons and its smallest, most spread-out markets. Furnace work there depends on fuel logistics, remote service and territory-specific rules and programs.

Rebates for switching from gas, propane or oil remain at all three income levels, a dual-fuel ducted heat pump option is listed, and several electric and wood conversions are now limited to lower income levels.
- [DOE furnace date petition](https://furnacenews.ca/news/doe-furnace-compliance-date-petition/): The U.S. Department of Energy published a notice on April 27, 2026 asking for comment on a petition from three gas industry associations.

- [Montréal heating ban](https://furnacenews.ca/news/montreal-combustion-heating-ban-new-buildings/): Montréal's by-law on greenhouse gas emissions from new buildings bans gas, oil and propane heating appliances in most new construction: small buildings since October 1, 2024 and all others since April 1, 2025. Existing buildings are not covered.

The first two phases gave 17,000 customers access to natural gas.
- [Quebec dual-energy funding](https://furnacenews.ca/news/quebec-dual-energy-funding-energir/): Quebec's government announced on April 10, 2026 that it will provide $163.4 million to Énergir for a financial assistance program for dual-energy heating, in which electricity is the main heat source and natural gas is the backup. More than 11,000 households are expected to benefit.
- [BC carbon monoxide report](https://furnacenews.ca/news/technical-safety-bc-carbon-monoxide-2025/): Technical Safety BC's State of Safety report for 2025, released May 27, 2026, names carbon monoxide the province's top technical safety risk. Its gas data show 79 incidents and 36 injuries in 2025, and one fatal exposure traced to a high-efficiency furnace with a separated vent pipe.
- [U.S. furnace rule remand](https://furnacenews.ca/news/us-furnace-standard-supreme-court-remand/): On June 8, 2026 the U.S. Supreme Court granted review in American Gas Association v. Department of Energy, vacated the D.C. Circuit judgment and sent the case back. Canada's own 95% AFUE minimum for most residential gas furnaces is unaffected.
