Heating Services in Oshawa
Oshawa winters regularly bring freezing temperatures, lake-effect snow, and long periods of sub-zero weather that place heavy demand on home heating systems. Furnaces and heat pumps often run continuously for months at a time, which can expose issues such as ignition failures, airflow restrictions, frozen condensate drains, and uneven heating between older and newly renovated areas of the home. McKeever Heating and Air Conditioning provides professional furnace repair, heating system diagnostics, maintenance, and high-efficiency furnace installations designed to keep Oshawa homes warm, reliable, and energy-efficient throughout the entire winter season. Whether your system stops working during a cold snap or simply struggles to maintain temperature, we deliver fast, honest solutions that restore comfort quickly. Our services cover all kinds of heating equipment, including:

Cooling Services in Oshawa

Reviews from Real People in Oshawa
“We had a great experience with James. James promptly responded to my request. He was professional, neat, and efficient—quickly diagnosing and fixing the issue with our air conditioning unit. Everything was back up and running smoothly in no time. Would definitely call him again if needed and would recommend his services.”
— Amanda G.“Excellent! James came by to help me out today with my furnace. Friendly and professional service. Reasonable pricing as well. 5/5, A+ across the board. Thank you again for the help and will definitely be a return customer for any future repairs and maintenance :)”
— Tino L.“I have had James out to provide me a quote for installation of a gas line from my basement to the kitchen in Oshawa (border of Whitby). We had several others come and provide quotes. James was not the cheapest, but he did spent the time to explain what would be done, how it would be done and provided all the details to make me comfortable to hire him for our home. Short run in a tight spot and done in about 3 hours. He took care to protect our floors and stairs not just install the gas line. Work and customer interactions were top notch. So good to see younger people in the trades and in business. We will have him back for any future needs.”

-
We respond immediately to no-heat calls and provide same day emergency service, 24 hours per day. If we can’t get the replacement part right away, we provide you with electric heaters until we can get the part and repair your furnace. During extreme cold weather, heating failures can quickly become urgent, so we prioritize no-heat calls to restore comfort and safety as quickly as possible.
-
Electric furnaces are vastly inferior to natural gas and propane furnaces. Oshawa’s extreme cold snaps put a lot of stress on electric furnaces, which produce the least amount of heat in proportion to energy usage, compared to natural gas or propane. Natural gas furnaces are cheaper to operate and provide reliable heating year-round. We strongly discourage anyone considering installing an electric furnace from doing so.
-
Deciding whether to upgrade to a tankless water heater depends on your home, budget, and comfort preferences. Tankless systems are a great solution when mechanical room space is limited, since they mount on the wall and take up far less room than a traditional tank.
While tankless water heaters typically cost more upfront to install, they operate more efficiently by heating water only when needed rather than storing hot water all day. This can reduce energy consumption over time. Tankless units also tend to last longer than conventional water heaters when properly maintained with annual servicing.
Many modern systems, such as the Rinnai RXP, include built-in recirculation features that help deliver hot water faster to fixtures — improving comfort without requiring an external pump.
If long-term efficiency, unlimited hot water, and space savings are more important than initial installation cost, a tankless water heater can be an excellent investment. A professional assessment can determine whether a tankless water heater is the right fit for your home.
-
A heat pump is an excellent addition to your home if you value energy savings and balanced temperatures in your home, which is especially important in Oshawa’s humid summers. Many heat pump models can be operated by smart thermostats, which allow you to operate your heating and cooling away from home. A heat pump also adds value to your home which is good for reselling. However, a heat pump is a big investment. Book an appointment with our comfort advisor to see if a heat pump is right for your home.
