What we doSample prices

Every system that keeps an Alberta home comfortable.

One crew for heating, cooling, hot water and air quality. Factory-trained on every major brand, and we stock the parts that fail most in deep cold on every truck.

Built for Alberta

Southern Alberta is one of the hardest climates in North America to heat. We size for it.

A furnace sized off a square-footage chart from Ontario will short-cycle in a Chinook and fall behind in a cold snap. Every Northfire install starts with a room-by-room heat-loss calculation to Alberta's actual design conditions.

−30°C DESIGN TEMP

Calgary's heating design temperature

Equipment has to carry the house at −30°C (−32°C in Edmonton), with a margin for the −40 nights that arrive every few winters. We size for that, not for an average January.

+25°C IN A DAY

Chinook swings

A warm Chinook can lift Calgary from −20 to +5 in hours. Oversized single-stage furnaces short-cycle and wear out. We install two-stage and modulating systems that ramp with the weather.

15% HUMIDITY

Prairie-dry indoor air

Winter indoor humidity in Alberta homes often drops to 15%, dry enough to crack hardwood and trim. A whole-home humidifier with an outdoor sensor keeps 30–35% without frosting your windows.

"Furnace died at 11 PM on the coldest night in February. Mike was at the door by 12:15 with the exact inducer motor in his truck. House was at 20° again before 2 AM, and the price was what they quoted on the phone."

"Three companies quoted us a furnace. Northfire was the only one who did a heat-loss calculation instead of guessing off square footage. Went with a cold-climate heat pump plus the existing furnace. Gas bill is down 40%."

"We've had the Comfort Club for four years. They text when it's time, show up on time, and the fall tune-up caught a cracked ignitor before it left us cold. Worth every dollar of the $19."

Questions

Things Albertans ask us every winter.

Don't see yours? Call or text 403-555-0142 and a technician, not a bot, will answer.

Do heat pumps actually work at −30°C in Alberta?

Yes. Modern cold-climate units are rated to deliver heat at −30°C, though output drops as it gets colder. That's why we usually install them as dual-fuel: the heat pump carries the house most of the winter, and your gas furnace takes over automatically below a switchover point we set, typically around −15°C to −20°C.

How fast can you get here if I have no heat?

Our average emergency response in Calgary this season is 90 minutes, and we prioritize homes with infants, seniors or at risk of frozen pipes. A dispatcher will give you a real arrival window on the phone, and we'll text you when the technician is 15 minutes out.

Why does my furnace keep turning on and off?

Short cycling usually means one of three things: a clogged filter, a dirty flame sensor, or a furnace that's oversized for the house. The first two are quick fixes. The third is common in Alberta because of Chinooks, and it's why we install two-stage and modulating equipment.

Are there rebates for upgrading right now?

Rebate programs change often. When we quote, we check the federal, provincial and utility programs you're eligible for that week, handle the paperwork, and put the net price on your quote so there are no surprises.

Do you charge extra at night or on weekends?

No. Our flat-rate price book is the same 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The $89 diagnostic fee is waived when you proceed with the repair.

What should my indoor humidity be in winter?

Between 30% and 35% when it's below −20 outside; you can run higher in milder weather. Above that, you'll get condensation on windows. A whole-home humidifier with an outdoor temperature sensor adjusts this automatically.
