Furnace Repair
Old South &
Wortley Village
London Ontario.
$175 Flat. 24/7. Zero Surcharge.
Old South London Ontario — bounded roughly by Ridout Street South and the Thames River to the west, Commissioners Road to the south, Wellington Road to the east, and Horton Street to the north — is one of London’s most architecturally significant residential neighbourhoods. Wortley Village at its heart is a National Urban Design Award winner. The housing stock is layered: pre-1920 four-squares and Foursquare Craftsmans on Elmwood Avenue and Grand Avenue with heating systems converted from original coal or oil to forced-air natural gas in the 1960s–1980s; 1940s–1960s detached homes on Ridout Street South and Princess Avenue with 1990s–early 2000s furnace replacements now 22–30 years old; and 1970s–2000s infill properties throughout. Hawana has experience with all of it. $175 flat, any hour, written quote before any work begins.

Furnace Repair Costs
Old South London Ontario 2026
All costs below are parts + labour, not including the $175 service call. Written quote before work begins. The 30% rule applies in Old South as everywhere: if repair exceeds 30% of the cost of a new Goodman GR9T96 ($3,500), replacement deserves serious consideration — especially on Old South’s aging Carrier and Lennox units now 22–30 years old.
| Repair / Component | Cost (Parts + Labour) | What’s Covered | Old South Context |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🕐 SERVICE CALL — EVERY VISIT | |||
| Service call — any hour, any day | $175 flat | On-site diagnosis, combustion analysis, heat exchanger CO probe scan, utility space assessment for heritage homes, written quote | Zero surcharge. Heritage home utility space assessed as part of the $175 call — no separate charge. $175 applicable toward same-day replacement. |
| 🔥 COMPONENT REPAIRS (Parts + Labour — Not Including $175) | |||
| Flame sensor cleaning / replacement | Included – $180 | Sensor cleaned, microamp reading documented. Replaced if below operational threshold. | Most common repair on Old South’s aging Carrier 58-series and Lennox units. Fouled sensor = repeated lockout on ignition. Often resolved within the $175 call. |
| Hot surface igniter | $180–320 | OEM-equivalent igniter installed. Resistance measured. Full ignition cycle verified. | Carrier 58-series igniters (now 22–28 years old in Old South) are past nominal service life. Replacement is the most common single-component repair in this age cohort. |
| Pressure switch | $160–280 | Pressure switch replaced. All hoses replaced if cracked. Inducer suction verified after repair. | First check: is the exhaust vent blocked? In Old South heritage homes with non-standard venting routes, vent blockages can occur in unexpected locations. Abdullah checks the vent exterior before ordering parts. |
| Inducer motor replacement | $420–720 | Inducer motor replaced to OEM spec. Combustion re-verified after replacement. | Inducer motor failure on 22–28 year Carrier units in Old South — bearing wear, winding failure. Common on Grand Avenue and Wortley Road area original Carrier installations from late 1990s renovations. |
| Control board replacement | $520–960 | Control board replaced. Full sequence test. Error codes cleared. | On Old South furnaces over 22 years, control board failure ($520–960) against a Goodman GR9T96 at $3,500 all-in deserves an honest written comparison before approving the repair. Abdullah provides this at the service call. |
| Gas valve | $380–680 | TSSA certified gas valve replacement. Combustion analysis after repair. CO reading documented. | All gas valve work in Ontario requires TSSA certification. On heritage home installs, gas line routing and valve location are documented before any work begins. |
| Annual furnace tune-up | $149 | Flame sensor, igniter reading, inducer amp draw, CO combustion analysis, heat exchanger CO probe scan, burner, gas pressure, blower, filter, thermostat. Written report. | For Old South’s aging furnace stock, the annual CO probe heat exchanger scan is a safety service, not just a maintenance item. A $149 tune-up that catches a cracking Carrier heat exchanger in October prevents a February CO incident. |
| 🔥 REPLACEMENT — SAME-DAY (HERITAGE HOME ASSESSMENT INCLUDED) | |||
| Goodman GMS96 single-stage (all-in) | $3,400 | Goodman GMS96, 96% AFUE, installation, gas connections, PVC venting, TSSA permit, old unit removed. Heritage space assessment included. | For straightforward Old South utility spaces with standard access. 96% AFUE vs 60–78% AFUE on aging original units = significant energy cost reduction. |
| Goodman GR9T96 two-stage (all-in) | $3,500 | Goodman GR9T96, 96–97% AFUE, two-stage, same scope as above. Heritage space assessment included. | Recommended for Old South homes. Two-stage operation at lower capacity reduces static pressure on Old South’s older ductwork, and produces more even heat throughout multi-level heritage home floor plans. |
Written itemized quote before any repair or replacement in Old South. Heritage home utility space assessed as part of the $175 service call — before the replacement quote is issued. You know the full scope and cost before approving anything. Invoice equals the written quote. (647) 550-4220 — any hour.
Old South Heritage Homes
What Your Furnace Replacement Involves
Old South’s pre-1950 homes present furnace service and replacement considerations that are different from standard suburban builds. Hawana assesses all of these as part of the $175 service call before issuing any replacement quote.
Many Old South furnaces are installed in converted coal rooms, under-stair utility closets, or tight mechanical spaces with limited access and non-standard dimensions. The original coal furnace footprint was typically larger than a modern forced-air unit but in a dedicated room — however, later conversions sometimes placed the replacement furnace in spaces not originally designed for it.
Abdullah assesses the utility space, existing ductwork clearances, and access route for the new unit before the replacement quote is issued. If additional ductwork modification or custom fabrication is required, this is identified and quoted separately in writing before installation day. No discoveries on installation day. Call (647) 550-4220.
Old South homes converted from radiator/boiler or gravity warm-air systems to forced-air in the 1960s–1980s have ductwork that was retrofitted into an existing structure — not designed from scratch. This means: non-standard trunk sizes, ductwork routed through original closets and chases, and sometimes older flexible ductwork materials.
When assessing a furnace replacement in Old South, Hawana evaluates whether the existing ductwork can accommodate the new unit’s airflow requirements, whether the return air configuration is adequate, and whether any ductwork modifications are needed. This assessment is included in the $175 service call — not charged separately. Call (647) 550-4220.
High-efficiency furnace PVC venting (condensing units like Goodman GR9T96) typically exits through an exterior wall near the furnace. In Old South heritage homes, this route may require navigating around original masonry, stone foundations, plaster walls, or original structural elements.
Hawana identifies the venting route and any special requirements as part of the replacement assessment. If the venting route requires additional work (core drilling through masonry, extended vent run, custom flashing), this is quoted in writing before the installation begins. The TSSA permit covers the full venting installation. Call (647) 550-4220.
Old South homes converted from oil or coal heat in the 1960s–1980s have gas lines installed during that conversion — now 40–60 years old. While black iron pipe has a long service life, older gas lines may have fittings and connections that warrant inspection, particularly in homes that have had multiple owners and renovation periods.
Hawana inspects the existing gas line from the meter to the furnace location as part of every Old South furnace replacement assessment. If any concerns are identified, these are noted in the written quote before work begins. All gas line work is TSSA certified. The permit is included in the all-in installation price. Call (647) 550-4220.
Old South Furnace Brands
22–30 Year Stock on Wortley Road and Grand Avenue
The Carrier 58-series (58CVA, 58MVP, 58STA) was the most common high-efficiency furnace installed during Old South’s 1990s–early 2000s renovation wave — Wortley Road renovations, Grand Avenue updates, Elmwood character homes upgrading from 1980s builder-grade units. A 1998 Carrier in a Grand Avenue home is now 27 years old.
At 22–28 years, Carrier 58-series in Old South are in the highest CO risk window. Heat exchanger stress cracking in the secondary heat exchanger coil is the primary safety concern. Hawana uses CO combustion analysis and probe scanning at every service call. Call (647) 550-4220.
Lennox furnaces were installed in Old South through the mid-2000s in higher-end renovation projects — the character homes on Ridout Street South, Princess Avenue, and the larger Wortley Village lots. Known for quiet operation and high efficiency. Now 15–22 years old — entering the first major failure window.
Common Lennox failures in Old South at this age: hot surface igniter wear, pressure switch diaphragm, and early control board issues on older G61MP units. Lennox parts available same-day in London Ontario. Annual heat exchanger inspection essential from 18 years. Call (647) 550-4220.
Goodman has been installed in Old South as a replacement brand through the 2010s — reliable mid-life, annual tune-up recommended from 10 years. Old South homeowners who replaced their original Carrier or Lennox in 2012–2018 with Goodman units are now approaching the first tune-up milestone.
If your Old South home has a Goodman installed between 2010 and 2018, the unit is well within its reliable service life. Annual tune-up at $149 is the appropriate maintenance approach. Heat exchanger inspection remains an annual standard from 10 years. Call (647) 550-4220.
Some Old South pre-1950 homes still have the first generation of forced-air furnaces installed during the 1970s–1980s conversion from original coal or oil heat. These are 30–40+ year old single-stage units — outside any furnace’s normal service life. If your Old South home has an original conversion unit still running, it requires immediate professional assessment.
These units are operating beyond expected service life. Heat exchanger integrity, gas train condition, venting compliance, and combustion safety all require evaluation before another heating season. Call (647) 550-4220.
When Old South furnaces reach end-of-life — heat exchanger cracked on a 26-year Carrier, compressor failed on a 30-year conversion unit — Hawana installs Goodman GR9T96 two-stage. For heritage homes: the two-stage operation at lower primary capacity (65%) reduces static pressure on older ductwork and produces quieter, more even heating throughout multi-level character home floor plans.
From $3,500 all-in including heritage space assessment, installation, TSSA permit, and old unit removal. The $100 premium over single-stage is correct for virtually all Old South homes. Call (647) 550-4220.
Hawana also services: York, KeepRite, Bryant, American Standard, Trane, Napoleon, Armstrong Air, Rheem, Ruud, Comfortmaker, Heil, and all other residential gas furnace brands found in Old South and Wortley Village. The diagnostic methodology and CO safety inspection are identical regardless of brand.
Heritage home assessment is included in the $175 service call for all brands and all Old South addresses — Wortley Road, Grand Avenue, Elmwood, Ridout Street South, Wilson Avenue, Princess Avenue, and all surrounding streets. Call (647) 550-4220.
Before & After
Furnace Replacement — Old South London Ontario
Old South furnace replacements require more assessment upfront — tight spaces, older ductwork, non-standard venting routes. The result is the same: old unit out completely, new unit running and TSSA inspected, same day.
Original conversion-era or 1990s Carrier/Lennox — heat exchanger cracking, end-of-life in an Old South heritage home
New Goodman two-stage — custom ductwork connections, PVC venting, TSSA permit, old unit removed, all-in price
Heritage home assessment included in the $175 service call. Before issuing a replacement quote, Abdullah evaluates the utility space, existing ductwork, venting route, and gas line. The written all-in quote covers everything identified. No discovered complications on installation day. (647) 550-4220.

Who Repairs Your Old South Furnace
Abdullah Ghzail diagnoses and repairs every Old South furnace call personally. TSSA certified for natural gas and LP/propane. In Old South, this means more than showing up with a toolkit — it means arriving with an understanding of what 1928 utility spaces look like, how converted ductwork behaves under different static pressures, and where the exhaust vent for a 1997 Carrier might actually exit a heritage home that has had three additions since original construction.
He carries a calibrated CO combustion analyzer and a CO probe scanner specifically for heat exchanger assessment on every call. For Old South’s aging Carrier 58-series units — now 22–28 years old across Wortley Road, Grand Avenue, and Elmwood Avenue — these instruments are the difference between a CO safety assessment and a visual guess. CO migration through early-stage stress cracks cannot be identified without a probe. It is done at every visit.
The $175 flat rate with zero surcharge since 2018 means the Old South homeowner whose Carrier fails at -20°C on a Saturday night during the Wortley Winter Festival weekend pays the same as a Tuesday afternoon tune-up. The rate is the same. The response is the same. The care in a heritage home is the same.
