Reliable warmth, sized right and installed properly. We handle full furnace replacements, no-heat emergency repairs, water heaters, hydronic in-floor and snow melting systems across Halton.
When the temperature drops in November and you flip the thermostat for the first time, the last thing you want is a furnace that won't fire. IKAD Mechanical has spent more than fifteen years quietly fixing that problem for Oakville homeowners, and quietly preventing it for the ones who hire us before something breaks.
We install, replace and maintain every part of the heating side of your home: high-efficiency natural gas furnaces, boilers for radiant systems, tank and tankless water heaters, hydronic in-floor heating for additions and full homes, and outdoor snow melting systems for driveways and walkways. One company, one warranty contact, one team who knows what's connected to what.
Most of the furnaces we replace in Halton are between fifteen and twenty-five years old, past their warranty, running on a single stage, and burning about 30% more gas than they need to. Replacing one is straightforward, but doing it well isn't. We size every system with a Manual J load calculation rather than copying the nameplate of the unit we're pulling out, so the new furnace runs longer, quieter cycles instead of short-cycling itself into early failure.
Reliable hot water shouldn't be exciting. Whether it's for showers, laundry or cooking, we install and service residential water heaters tailored to your household's needs, both traditional tank systems and modern tankless. We help you choose the right solution, focus on energy efficiency, and make sure you always have hot water when you need it most. From replacing outdated units to performing maintenance that extends system life, IKAD Mechanical delivers dependable service and peace of mind for homeowners across Halton.
Radiant in-floor heat is the quiet luxury that custom-home owners rarely regret. Warm tile floors in the bathroom, even temperatures across an open-concept main floor, no ductwork pushing dust around. We design and install hydronic in-floor heating using PEX tubing, manifolds, mixing valves and high-efficiency boilers, including retrofit applications in basements and additions.

If you've spent more than one winter chipping ice off your front steps, you've earned the right to consider a heated driveway. Snow melting systems use radiant heating technology installed beneath the surface to automatically melt snow and ice on driveways, walkways and entrances, engineered for our Ontario climate and tied into your home's heating system or a dedicated boiler.
Hot-water boilers serve a smaller share of Halton homes (mostly older Old Oakville and Downtown Burlington heritage builds with cast-iron radiators), but when they need work, fewer contractors are TSSA-certified to handle them. We do boiler installation, boiler repair, boiler-to-combi conversions, hydronic loop repair, and replacement of zone valves and circulator pumps. Common brands we service include Viessmann, NTI, Lochinvar, Weil-McLain, IBC and Navien combi units.
Smart thermostat installation (Ecobee Premium, Google Nest, Honeywell T-series) and whole-home humidifier installation (Aprilaire 600, Honeywell HE360) usually pair with a furnace replacement, but we also do both as standalone upgrades. A modulating-furnace-specific thermostat (Carrier Infinity, Lennox iComfort) is required to get full performance out of variable-speed furnaces, and a missing or non-working humidifier is one of the most common comfort complaints we hear about in dry Halton winters.
About 80% of the no-heat calls we run on in January come from systems that hadn't been serviced in three or more years. A proper annual tune-up, clean burners, check gas pressure, verify draft, inspect heat exchanger, swap the filter, catches the small problems before they become a freezing house at 2 a.m.
Most homeowners we work with don't realize how many rebate dollars are still on the table. We'll walk you through what your specific equipment qualifies for and handle the paperwork.
We're TSSA-certified gas fitters and licensed HVAC technicians. We don't subcontract installs, every furnace going into a Halton home this week is being installed by someone whose name is on our truck. That accountability is why we've been growing on word-of-mouth alone since 2010.
Our heating crews reach across Halton, Peel and Hamilton from our Oakville shop on Upper Middle Rd East. Tap any city for local response times, neighbourhood coverage and permit office info.
Tell us your equipment age, square footage and any rooms that don't heat well.
On-site load calc, equipment options, transparent pricing, usually under 45 minutes.
A small deposit locks the install date and we order the equipment.
Most furnaces are swapped in a single day. We clean up, walk you through the system and register the warranty.
Most Halton furnace replacements land between $3,800 and $7,200 installed. Single-stage 95% is the budget end; variable-speed modulating 98% is the top end. The wide range comes from efficiency tier, blower type, and whether your gas line, venting, condensate drain or thermostat needs updating. Full pricing breakdown here, or see Oakville-specific notes.
Most Halton homes are 1,500–2,800 sq.ft. and need between 60,000 and 90,000 BTU, but the only way to know your specific home is a Manual J load calculation. We run one on every install. Sized correctly, your furnace runs longer cycles, quieter, and lives 5+ years longer than an oversized unit. Pair sizing with properly designed ductwork for the best comfort.
If we have a quote on file, we can usually be on-site within 24 hours and have the new unit running the same or next day. For total no-heat breakdowns in winter we keep a small fleet of loaner furnaces and prioritize emergency calls. See our furnace no-start troubleshooting while you wait.
Yes, the Home Renovation Savings Program (which replaced Enbridge HER+ in January 2025) and the Canada Greener Homes Loan are both routine for us. We file the paperwork and your install qualifies for both if you bundle correctly. See our 2026 Ontario rebate guide.
Rheem (most common), Lennox, Carrier, Goodman, Continental, Heil. We don't push one brand, we recommend the right model for your home, budget and rebate fit. See our heat pump vs furnace guide if you're weighing alternatives.
