Central air conditioner installation is the standard cooling solution for homes with existing forced-air ductwork. We install Lennox and Continental central air conditioners matched to your furnace and duct system. Proper matching is critical. An oversized air conditioner cools the space quickly but shuts off before it removes enough humidity, leaving the home feeling clammy. An undersized unit runs continuously without reaching the set temperature. We size every central air conditioner installation using a load calculation based on your home's actual dimensions, insulation, and window area.

For homes without ductwork, or where adding ductwork is impractical, a ductless air conditioner provides cooling through a wall-mounted indoor unit connected to an outdoor compressor. Ductless systems are ideal for century farmhouses, additions, finished basements, garages, and any room that existing ductwork does not reach. A ductless air conditioner can also provide supplemental cooling in rooms where the central system underperforms.

Air conditioning repair is available for all makes and models. If your central or ductless air conditioner is not cooling properly, making unusual noises, leaking refrigerant, or cycling on and off frequently, call us. We diagnose the issue and provide a clear recommendation: repair or replace.

A gas fireplace adds supplemental heat, ambiance, and a measure of energy independence to your home. During a power outage, a gas fireplace with a standing pilot or battery ignition can provide heat to the main living area when your furnace cannot operate. Comfort Shop installs gas fireplaces and provides ongoing gas fireplace repair and service.

Gas fireplace repair covers a range of issues including pilot light failures, thermocouple replacement, blower motor problems, valve malfunctions, and glass seal replacement. If your gas fireplace is not igniting, producing soot, or heating unevenly, we diagnose the problem and restore it to safe, reliable operation. Annual gas fireplace service is recommended to ensure the unit operates safely and efficiently throughout the heating season.

Comfort Shop is one of the few HVAC companies in Durham Region and Kawartha Lakes that offers a Canadian made furnace and Canadian made air conditioner option. Continental HVAC equipment is designed and manufactured by Wolf Steel Ltd. at its facility in Barrie, Ontario. Wolf Steel was founded in 1976 by the Schroeter family and remains privately held, with the second generation now running the company.

A Canadian made furnace from Continental is engineered specifically for Canadian winters. These units are built with durability and cold-climate performance as design priorities, not afterthoughts. Continental gas furnaces achieve up to 97% AFUE and feature two-stage heating with variable-speed blower motors for quieter operation and more even temperatures.

Continental also manufactures a Canadian made air conditioner line at the same Barrie facility. For homeowners who want their HVAC equipment designed, tested, and built in Ontario, Continental is one of the very few options on the market.

We also carry Lennox, an industry leader in high-efficiency heating and cooling technology. Between the two brands, we offer affordable furnaces and air conditioners at multiple price points, so you can choose the equipment that fits both your home's requirements and your budget.

Viewlake and Janetville sit in the heart of rural Durham and Kawartha Lakes. The housing stock includes century farmhouses on concession roads, village bungalows and side-splits in Janetville, custom rural builds on acreage, and lakeside properties near Lake Scugog.

Century farmhouses present unique HVAC challenges: irregular wall cavities, partial basements with fieldstone foundations, limited or retrofit ductwork, and fuel configurations that may include oil, propane, or wood supplementary heating. Many of these homes were never designed for central air conditioning. A ductless air conditioner or ductless heat pump can add cooling (and supplemental heating) without the cost and disruption of installing full ductwork.

Properties near Lake Scugog experience higher humidity in summer due to the lake's broad, shallow surface area (68 km², average depth 1.4 metres). HVAC systems for lakeside homes need to dehumidify effectively, not just cool. We size cooling equipment for waterfront properties with this in mind.

For homes converting from oil or propane to natural gas (where available in Janetville village), a new high-efficiency gas furnace delivers immediate savings on fuel costs. Where natural gas is not available, a heat pump offers an electric alternative that eliminates dependence on delivered fuel.
