Selecting a Heating Contractor

Heat Smart House

  • Hire only heating contractors who are registered with the Fuels Safety Program of TSSA. If you are unsure if your heating contractor is registered, call TSSA at (416) 734-3300 or 1-877-682-TSSA (8772).
  • Avoid "fly-by-nighters", especially strangers who show up at your door offering "special" deals. Always ask the heating contractor to provide identification.
  • Ask friends or your fuel supplier for a recommendation.
  • Obtain at least three written estimates, outlining:
    • the type of work to be done;
    • who will be doing the work;
    • start date and completion date.
  • Determine whether repairs are covered by a warranty or maintenance plan.
