How Much Does Home Trade Standards Charge For A Service Inspection Fee?
Our published service inspection fee is $180 plus HST for initial inspection and troubleshooting. Confirm the applicable fee, included scope and any additional work when booking.
What Kind Of Payment Methods Are Accepted?
HTS lists certified cheque, bank draft, money order, e-transfer, debit and major credit cards among its payment methods. Financing options are available through the existing HTS financing page; confirm current eligibility, rates and terms with the provider.
Do You Provide Repair Heating & Air Conditioning Repair Services In Condos?
Yes Home Trade Standards specializes in repair, annual maintenance, installation and retrofit services in condos.
Do You Do Duct Cleaning In Condos?
Yes. Our current condo duct-cleaning service covers in-suite HVAC ducts, dryer exhaust, bathroom and kitchen exhaust, and building ventilation scopes. An assessment establishes the accessible areas and whether management must coordinate shared shafts. This updates the older FAQ answer; review the dedicated condo duct-cleaning service page for the current scope.
Why E-Commerce? Why Should You Buy A Furnace Or Air Conditioner Online?
The Product Catalogue lets you research equipment families, compare options and request a quote online. HTS verifies compatibility, availability, the installed scope and pricing before an order or installation is confirmed.
How Do I Know What Size Of Furnace Or Air Conditioner Is Right For My House?
The existing HTS size calculator can be a starting point. Final equipment selection requires the property details, heating and cooling requirements, existing system and an assessment; floor area alone does not establish the correct model.
How Long Does A Fan Coil Replacement / Retrofit Take?
HTS lists approximately 4–8 hours for a typical fan coil retrofit. The actual schedule depends on the unit, installation conditions, access and building coordination. Confirm your project timing in the proposal.
If I Make A Purchase Today, When Can This Be Installed?
Installation timing depends on the confirmed equipment, availability, access and the agreed scope. Ask HTS for the earliest appointment for your project; an enquiry or catalogue shortlist does not reserve an installation date.
What Warranty Do You Provide With The Equipment I Purchased?
Home Trade Standards provides a one-year parts and labour warranty on the work we complete. Manufacturer parts and compressor warranties are separate; duration, registration and exclusions depend on the selected equipment.
Who Do I Contact For Service?
Call 416-736-7001 or use the Contact page to request service. Include the building address, suite, equipment model and the symptoms. For an active leak or urgent fault, contact building management and call HTS to confirm availability.
Are All Technicians Licensed? If So, By Who?
All of our technicians are licensed through TSSA with a valid gas license for installations. They are also insured with business liability insurance and WSIB.
How Long Does A Water Source Heat Pump Installation Take?
The original HTS FAQ gives typical installation ranges of 2–6 hours, with some condo heat pump replacements taking 2–4 hours. These are planning examples; the confirmed scope, delivery, access and building conditions determine the actual schedule.
Where Is Your Current Installation Area?
HTS serves Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area, including North York, Etobicoke, Scarborough, Mississauga, Vaughan, Markham, Richmond Hill, Brampton, Oakville, Burlington, Pickering, Ajax, Whitby and Oshawa. Call 416-736-7001 to confirm the service and scheduling available for your address.
Why Didn’t Home Trade Standards Technicians Have The Parts Needed To Repair My Equipment?
It is almost impossible to carry all the major parts required for every repair in our trucks. We work closely with our suppliers to ensure the parts needed are ordered & shipped as quickly as possible. To make the repair process faster, you can let us know any details you can about your equipment or send us a picture of the existing unit type & model.
What Brands Do You Repair & Service?
Home Trade Standards provides a one-year parts and labour warranty on the work we complete. Coverage applies to the completed work, not a new unrelated fault or work outside the agreed scope. Separate manufacturer warranties follow the equipment manufacturer’s terms.
My Gas Appliance Got A Red Tag? What Do I Do?
Follow the instructions on the notice and keep the affected equipment out of use when directed. Arrange assessment and clearance with a qualified licensed technician. Contact HTS at 416-736-7001 and provide the written notice and equipment details.
Do You Service Condo HVAC Systems?
Yes, We do. Home Trade Standards specializes in Residential & Commercial High Rise Condominium HVAC Repair, Maintenance, Installation & Retrofit Services. Please call us today to book a service.
How Often Should I Replace My Fan Coil Air Filter?
The HTS fan coil guidance recommends checking replacement needs on a three-month schedule. Follow the equipment instructions and building maintenance program; filter type, dust and operating conditions can change the required interval.
What Condo HVAC Systems Do You Service?
We service fan coils, water-source heat pumps, PTAC units and condo heating and ventilation equipment. Building services include boilers, pumps, chillers, cooling towers, make-up air units and HVAC risers.
Do You Work With Owners And Property Managers?
Yes. Owners can arrange single-suite service. Property managers and condo boards can request maintenance programs, investigations and coordinated replacement projects.
Can You Help With An HVAC Water Leak?
Yes. We investigate accessible drain pans, local drains, overflow protection and HVAC connections. Shared or concealed drainage may require additional building investigation.
How Do I Request A Quote?
Call 416-736-7001 or use our online service request. Include the building address, unit number, equipment details and a short description of what you need.

How Do I Identify My HVAC Equipment?
A photo of the model label, cabinet and thermostat can help HTS identify the system. Ask management if you are unsure what serves the suite.
