HVAC Leads in Ontario

Ontario's HVAC market is the largest in Canada, sustained by the province's massive population, extreme seasonal temperature swings, and an aging housing stock that demands constant heating and cooling system maintenance, repair, and replacement. Ontario homeowners experience a full spectrum of climate conditions — winter temperatures that plunge below minus twenty-five degrees Celsius in Ottawa and northern Ontario, and summer heat waves that push past thirty-five degrees in the GTA and southwestern Ontario. This dual demand for heating and cooling makes Ontario a true year-round HVAC market.

Natural gas forced-air furnaces remain the dominant heating system across southern Ontario, with the vast majority of homes in the GTA, Hamilton, London, and Kitchener-Waterloo heated by gas. However, the province is experiencing a significant shift toward electric heat pumps, driven by Ontario's climate change targets, federal rebate programmes, and the decreasing cost of cold-climate heat pump technology. The Canada Greener Homes Grant and Ontario's various utility-sponsored programmes offer substantial rebates for heat pump installations, creating a growing lead category alongside traditional furnace and air conditioning replacements.

Central air conditioning penetration in Ontario is among the highest in Canada, and the summer replacement and installation market generates enormous lead volume from June through September. Meanwhile, the winter heating season drives furnace replacement and repair leads from October through April. DashLeads captures Ontario homeowners at the moment of need — whether it is an emergency furnace breakdown in January, a planned air conditioning upgrade before summer, or a heat pump conversion — and delivers verified, geo-targeted leads in real time to HVAC contractors across the province.
