Across the three federal ridings named for Etobicoke, the 2021 Census counted 144,000 occupied homes. More than four in ten are suites in buildings of five or more storeys, and about a third are single-detached houses:
| Type of home | Homes | Share | What it usually means |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single-detached house | 50,045 | 35% | Bungalows, back-splits and two-storeys, many with a basement furnace and central air added later |
| Semi-detached house | 3,535 | 2% | Older semis with a furnace and ductwork of their own |
| Row house | 7,905 | 5% | Townhouse complexes where the condo corporation may control where outdoor units go |
| Apartment in a duplex | 5,980 | 4% | Often a main-floor home over a rented basement unit, sometimes sharing one furnace |
| Apartment, under five storeys | 14,865 | 10% | Walk-ups and low-rise rentals, often heated by the building |
| Apartment, five or more storeys | 61,600 | 43% | Towers from Humber Bay to Rexdale, mostly served by building-wide systems |

62% of Etobicoke homes date from 1980 or earlier, and 29% from 1960 or before. The older the house, the more its heating has been changed over the years:
| Built | Homes | Share | What we tend to find |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1960 or before | 41,415 | 29% | Ductwork laid out generations ago, small returns, and often a chimney still venting the water heater |
| 1961 to 1980 | 47,325 | 33% | Bungalows and back-splits on a later furnace, with central air added onto heating ducts |
| 1981 to 2000 | 23,225 | 16% | Replacement furnaces from the 2000s now nearing the end of their life |
| 2001 to 2010 | 12,995 | 9% | Furnaces and ACs fitted when the house was new, now at or past the usual replacement age |
| 2011 to 2021 | 19,005 | 13% | Mostly condo suites on building or in-suite systems, plus infill houses with high-efficiency equipment |

With 62% of Etobicoke homes built before 1981, many still run an ageing furnace that vents into the chimney. Every furnace we install is 96% AFUE or better and vents in plastic pipe, usually through a side wall, so we also check that a water heater left in the chimney still drafts on its own. Buy installed or rent with $0 upfront:
| Furnace | Suits | Buy installed | Rent per month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Midea MGV96, two-stage | 1,500 to 2,800 sq ft, best value | $3,222* | $43.99* |
| Lennox ML196, single-stage | Smaller homes under 1,800 sq ft | $3,555* | $43.99* |
| Lennox ML297V, two-stage | 1,500 to 2,800 sq ft, premium brand | $4,555* | $47.99* |
| Lennox EL297, modulating | Big houses, 2,800 sq ft and more | $5,555* | $55.99* |
*Includes standard installation only. Any extra work your home needs is quoted before we start.
Removing the old furnace, permits and a full safety test are part of the price, and most installations take 4 to 6 hours. Details: furnace installation and furnace rental. Prices before HST.
Plenty of Etobicoke houses from the 1950s to the 1970s still send the water heater's exhaust up the chimney. Once the old furnace that shared that chimney is replaced, the water heater on its own may not make enough warm exhaust to draw properly. We test the draft whenever we work on a water heater, and the answer is usually a chimney liner, a power-vent tank or a tankless heater vented through the wall. Monthly rentals:
| If your house has | We usually fit | Rent per month |
|---|---|---|
| A chimney that still draws well, 1 to 4 people | Bradford White CV40 or CV50 tank | $21.99 or $25.99* |
| No usable chimney | Bradford White PV40 or PV50 power-vent tank | $33.99* |
| Two or three bathrooms and a tight basement | Navien NPE-180S2 tankless | $37.99* |
| Three or four bathrooms | Navien NPE-210S2 tankless | $40.99* |
*Includes standard installation only. Any extra work your home needs is quoted before we start.
$0 upfront, with repairs and a yearly visit included. Buying instead? Tankless starts at $3,111 installed. See water heater rental and tankless water heaters. Prices before HST.
Etobicoke drinks Lake Ontario water treated by the City of Toronto. The City's 2025 testing averaged 119 mg/L of hardness, and it says softening is usually not needed in most homes. A tankless heater is the exception worth knowing about: its narrow heat exchanger still collects scale over time, and Navien's own manual asks for either scale protection or an annual flush. Rented tankless units get that flush at their yearly visit.

Etobicoke and Brampton share one price list, and every figure is before HST. Repairs show the usual range; new equipment shows its starting price.
About 40% of Etobicoke households rent, and 29% of homes are condominiums. If you rent, your landlord normally arranges heating and cooling repairs; Toronto's minimum-heat rule is set out on our Etobicoke furnace repair page. In a condo, equipment that serves only your suite is usually yours to maintain, while building systems belong to the corporation. We work for owners, landlords and property managers alike.
