Who We Are

ACPrices.ca is Canada’s platform for homeowners who want to compare HVAC quotes from licensed HVAC contractors in Ontario before they hire anyone. Instead of calling five companies and sitting through five different sales pitches, homeowners fill out one short form on ACPrices.ca and receive multiple quotes from contractors we have already screened for licensing, insurance, and track record. Below, we explain who runs ACPrices.ca, how our vetting process works, which cities we currently cover, and why homeowners across Hamilton, Burlington, Brantford, Cambridge, Kitchener, Milton, and Oakville use the platform before they sign a contract.

Safety first! Certain damage to your system can be deadly, like a carbon monoxide or gas leak. In these situations, the only choice is to replace your system. You can help stop emergencies from happening with routine checkups from an HVAC technician.

About ACPrices.ca: Canada’s HVAC Quote Comparison Platform

We built ACPrices.ca in Ontario to solve a problem most homeowners run into once every decade or two: finding a trustworthy HVAC contractor without losing a week to cold calls and conflicting quotes. Our team checks a contractor’s licence, insurance, and customer history before that contractor ever appears on our platform, then we match homeowners with three to five of those pre-checked companies at no charge. It’s worth being upfront about what we are: ACPrices.ca is a free HVAC quote-comparison and contractor-matching service, not an HVAC contractor ourselves. We do not install, service, or repair equipment directly, and the partner contractor you choose is responsible for the work and the warranty they provide.
We research and publish pricing guides, rebate breakdowns, and brand comparisons in our Learning Hub so that by the time a technician walks through your door, you already know a fair price range for your home. That research process is also how ACPrices.ca stays current: our writers and reviewers update pricing and rebate pages as programs change, rather than leaving outdated numbers live for years, which is a common complaint homeowners raise about older HVAC content elsewhere online. Have a question we haven’t answered? Contact us directly.

How ACPrices.ca Works

Getting quotes through ACPrices.ca takes three steps, and none of them cost a homeowner anything:
01
Tell us your needs.
Fill out a short form describing your project installation, repair, or maintenance and your home’s location.
02
We match you with local, vetted pros
Our system sends your request to pre-screened contractors who work in your area and receive 3 to 5 free quotes back.
03
You compare and choose with confidence
Review pricing, warranties, and verified customer ratings side by side, then contact the contractor you prefer directly. Nobody from ACPrices.ca pressures you toward a specific company.

How We Vet HVAC Contractors Canada-Wide

Not every HVAC company operates the same way, so we run every applicant through the same screening process before adding them to our network of vetted HVAC contractors Canada-wide relies on through this site:
Licensing and certification check. We verify provincial licences including TSSA-regulated gas and refrigeration qualifications in Ontario and APEGA credentials in Alberta plus trade certifications such as HVAC Red Seal and the G2/Gas Technician, NATE, Skilled Trades Ontario 313A/313D refrigeration and air conditioning mechanic designation.
Insurance and bonding. Contractors must carry liability insurance and, where applicable, WSIB coverage before we list them.
Customer reviews and ratings. We check verified feedback from Google, HomeStars, and our own platform, and we drop contractors whose ratings slip.
Experience and specialization. We require a minimum of 5+ years of proven HVAC experience before a contractor qualifies.
Background checks. We confirm standing with the Better Business Bureau and screen for unresolved complaints.
💡 Why this matters: Industry groups such as HRAI point out that trade licensing, insurance, and a clear code of ethics are exactly what make a contractor’s quote easier to trust and compare that’s the same checklist we apply before any company joins ACPrices.ca.

Transparent Pricing and No Hidden Fees

We work only with contractors who agree to give homeowners fair, upfront pricing rather than a bundled number that hides where the cost sits. Through ACPrices.ca you can compare multiple free quotes before choosing anyone, see average HVAC costs for your area, and get guidance on current rebates and financing. On the rebate front specifically: the Canada Greener Homes Grant closed to new applicants and finished processing existing files by the end of 2025, so if a contractor still quotes that $5,000 figure, treat it as outdated. The program most Ontario homeowners can claim today is Home Renovation Savings, delivered by Enbridge Gas and Save on Energy with Ontario government support. We keep our rebate guides updated as these programs change.

HVAC Brands We Research

We help homeowners choose the right system for their budget with unbiased brand comparisons rather than a sales pitch for whichever manufacturer pays the most:

Premium brands

Trane – reliable, high-efficiency systems
Lennox – innovative, energy-saving models
Carrier – top-tier performance and smart HVAC tech
Daikin – a leader in ductless and inverter technology

Mid-range and budget-friendly

Goodman – affordable and dependable
Rheem – strong value for performance
York – cost-effective, with solid warranties
Mitsubishi Electric – a top pick for ductless mini-splits
Our guides also cover energy-efficient models, SEER ratings, inverter technology, and heat pumps so homeowners can weigh long-term operating costs, not just the installed price, and see the full A/C manufacturer comparisons before requesting quotes.
