Services
What we do
All under one roof, all on our own trucks. We don't sub out the work that has your name on it.
How we work
Four steps. The same four every time, whether it's a $129 service call or a $14k heat-pump retrofit.
02
Written quote within 48 hours
Two or three options at different efficiency points. We'll mark the one we'd put in our own house. No upsell scripts.
03
Install or repair, properly
Drop sheets up before tools come in, vacuum after, sweep the driveway. Same Equinox uniforms — never sub-contractors.
04
Commissioning + handoff
We log every reading — combustion, refrigerant, airflow — and walk you through what we did, what's flagged, and how to use it.
Recent work
Mostly homes, some cafés, a couple of dental offices, and one absolutely heroic 1923 bungalow.
We document every install — photos, readings, a written report. The receipts make for honest case studies.
Cold-climate heat pump · The Junction
Hybrid retrofit. Furnace stays as backup, heat pump carries the first cold winter while we tune the changeover.
Variable-speed AC · Roncesvalles
Right-sized 2-ton inverter. 56 dB at 1 m. Owner napped through the install, which is the goal.
MERV 13 + HRV · Yorkville
Pre/post PM2.5 measurement: 14 → 4 µg/m³. We don't chase numbers we can't show.
Ductless retrofit · Etobicoke
2-head split for an in-law suite. Drywall touched: zero. Comfort delivered: a lot.
Why Equinox
We're a small shop on purpose.
Five technicians, a dispatcher, an apprentice, and a founder still on the truck. Twelve years in. We picked the size we work best at and stayed there.
Right-sized, not maxed-out
We don't propose 4-ton condensers when 2-ton is correct. Comfort comes from sizing, not from BTU.
Show the math
Every quote shows the heat-loss / heat-gain calc, the rebate math, and the projected annual operating cost. If we won't show our work, we shouldn't be asking for your money.
Clean up the worksite
Drop sheets up before tools come in. Vacuum after. Sweep the driveway. The basement should look better when we leave than when we arrived.
Honest "we don't know"
If we don't know what's wrong, we'll say so and bring a second tech. We don't guess on a $4,000 invoice.
We answer at 11 PM in February
Heat is non-optional. Our emergency line is staffed by an actual human, in Toronto, who can dispatch a technician within 90 minutes for most no-heat calls.
Year-round
Different problems, same crew, every season.
What clients say
Compliments we've earned, kept honest.
We don't curate testimonials past a 5-star filter — these are real, recent, and copied verbatim from post-job survey replies.
“They sized down our furnace and the upstairs is finally comfortable in winter. Two other companies told us we needed a bigger one — Equinox showed us why that was wrong.”
P. & S.
Junction Triangle · 1900 row house · Furnace replacement
“Quoted on the spot, no surprises on the invoice. They sent the rebate paperwork to me already pre-filled. I just signed and emailed it back.”
M.
High Park · Heat-pump conversion
“Showed up at 9 AM, diagnosed by lunch, replaced the contactor and the cap, kept us open through dinner service. We didn't lose a single reservation.”
S., owner
Queen West café · Emergency rooftop repair
“The technician noticed our return ducts were strangled and said 'I can fix this in 90 minutes for under $500.' He did. We didn't even know that was a thing.”
K.
East York · Duct balancing
“Three generations live here, and they finally have separate thermostats for the basement suite without ripping up the ceilings. Lifesavers.”
Family of T.
Etobicoke · Ductless retrofit
“I'm a property manager. Equinox does our maintenance plans across six buildings. The reporting alone makes them worth it. The work is also the best we've had.”
