What to know before hiring a HVAC technician in Longueuil
Anything that touches gas in Quebec, including a furnace, boiler, gas fireplace or gas water heater, must be worked on by a certified gas technician and often needs a permit through Régie du bâtiment du Québec (RBQ). Ask for the technician’s gas ticket and the permit number for any installation or major repair.
If you smell gas, leave the building before you make any call, then phone your gas utility’s emergency line or 911 from outside. Do not use switches, phones or appliances inside. For a furnace that has simply stopped, check the thermostat batteries, the furnace switch, the breaker and the filter before booking a service call; those four checks resolve a surprising share of no-heat calls.
Longueuil covers the South Shore across from Montreal, from the old town near the metro station to the post-war bungalows of Saint-Hubert and Greenfield Park and the newer developments toward Boucherville. Most homes are single-family or small plexes on a cold, snowy floodplain, so heating, roof snow load and spring drainage drive the repair calendar. Quebec’s RBQ licensing applies to every contractor, and French is the working language of most trades.

Questions to ask before booking
- Are your technicians gas-certified, and can I see the ticket?

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a permit to replace a furnace in Longueuil?
In Quebec a gas furnace replacement needs a gas permit through Régie du bâtiment du Québec (RBQ) and is inspected; a heat pump or air conditioner usually needs an electrical permit as well. Reputable installers include the permits in the quote.
Should I repair or replace an old furnace?
Get the diagnosis first. A failed igniter or blower motor on a 12-year-old furnace is usually worth repairing; a cracked heat exchanger on the same furnace usually is not. Ask for both numbers in writing and compare the replacement cost with rebates included.
Why is my heat pump running constantly in a Longueuil winter?
Cold-climate heat pumps are designed to run long cycles at low speed, which is normal. Constant running with the house still cold, ice building on the outdoor unit, or backup heat coming on early are the signs that need a technician.
What is a fair HVAC diagnostic fee?
Fees vary by company and by time of day; what matters is whether it is disclosed before the visit and whether it is credited if you approve the repair. Get that in writing when you book.
