Modern Comfort for The Kingsway's Heritage Homes
Specialized heating and cooling that respects your architecture.
Owning a home in The Kingsway means being a steward of Toronto’s history. But keeping a 1930s English Tudor comfortable in a modern summer is a challenge. We specialize in retrofitting HVAC systems into these grand, solid-brick homes without compromising their character. We know how to navigate Prince Edward Drive layouts and work carefully around slate roofs and leaded glass.
We Know The Kingsway Housing Stock
The homes between Bloor and Dundas are masterpieces of masonry—but they weren’t built for air conditioning. Standard HVAC contractors often suggest bulkheads or duct runs that ruin the clean lines of your interior.
We take a different approach. Whether you live on a winding street like Kingsway Crescent or near the Old Mill, we design systems that are invisible. We use custom-painted line set covers to match your brick, high-efficiency boilers that fit in original mechanical rooms, and ‘soft-step’ protocols to protect your landscaping.
Invisible Cooling (Ductless & High Velocity)
Preserving your leaded glass windows is non-negotiable. Window AC units are noisy and destroy your curb appeal. We install Ductless Mini-Splits and High-Velocity Systems that snake through existing wall cavities. We position outdoor units discreetly in side yards or behind landscaping to ensure your home looks as good from the street as it feels inside. See Our Cooling Solutions.
Boiler Upgrades for Radiant Homes
Most homes here were built with cast-iron radiators—the most comfortable heat you can get. We are experts in upgrading original gravity systems to modern Viessmann or NTI hydronic boilers. We protect your hardwood floors during the install and ensure your vintage radiators heat evenly from the basement to the third-floor master. Explore Hydronic Heating.
Slate Roof & Copper Eavestrough Care
We understand that your roof and eaves are fragile and expensive. Our technicians are trained in ‘Low-Impact’ installation. We plan our refrigeration line runs to avoid contact with delicate copper work and never place ladders against slate tiles.
Serving The Kingsway Shops
From the cafes near Royal York Station to the boutiques along the Kingsway BIA, we keep local businesses comfortable. We offer discreet rooftop maintenance and after-hours service to ensure your customers enjoy their shopping experience without disruption.
