Solutions
Systems planned around the home, not sold one box at a time.
Heating, cooling, hot water, and solar interact. Sizing a furnace without looking at insulation, or adding solar without knowing your future electrical load, produces work you pay for twice. Every one of these starts with an assessment of your house.
Six categories
What we install and support
Heating and cooling
Heat pumps
Heating and cooling from one system
One system that heats in winter and cools in summer, planned around your home.
Heating
Furnaces
Reliable winter heating
Dependable winter heat, correctly sized and vented for your home.
Cooling
Air conditioners
Summer cooling that holds steady
Cooling sized for the house, not just swapped for the same box.
Energy generation
Solar panels
Generate some of your own electricity
Roof, shade, and usage assessed before a single panel is quoted.
Hot water
Water heaters
Hot water that keeps up
Sized to how your household actually uses hot water.
Hot water
Heat pump water heaters
Efficient electric hot water
Much less electricity for the same hot water, with room requirements to check.
Equipment
Equipment selected for your home
The category is the easy part. Which unit goes in, and at what capacity, follows from the building. These are the four things that decide it.
Capacity comes from the heat loss, not the old label
We size from the building: floor area, insulation, air leakage, window area and orientation. Matching the sticker on the equipment being removed repeats whatever was wrong the first time. Oversized equipment short-cycles, runs loud, and dehumidifies poorly.
Cold-climate rating decides the coldest week
For a heat pump in Eastern Ontario, the number that matters is rated output at low outdoor temperature, not the mild-weather efficiency figure on the box. We state what carries the house at design temperature and what, if anything, backs it up.
Ductwork and airflow limit what any unit can deliver
A high-efficiency unit on undersized returns delivers less than its rating and costs more to run. We measure static pressure and check returns, and we say when duct changes are part of the work rather than discovering it on installation day.
Electrical capacity and placement come before the order
Heat pumps and heat pump water heaters need available electrical capacity, and a heat pump water heater needs enough air volume and a condensate route. We confirm the panel, the breaker space, and the location before anything is ordered.
Manufacturers
Equipment we install and support
We install and service equipment from established manufacturers. Which line and model suits your home is decided during your assessment, based on the heat loss of the house, your ductwork and electrical capacity, and availability at the time of installation. Links go to each manufacturer's own website.
Logos are the property of their respective owners and are shown to identify the equipment lines we work with. We are not stating a dealer authorization, exclusive distribution arrangement, or manufacturer endorsement.
10-Year Premium Warranty Included
Every new equipment installation completed by Aviva includes a 10-year premium warranty package combining manufacturer-backed parts coverage and Aviva labour coverage.
Equipment registration, maintenance requirements, eligible products, exclusions, and the written warranty agreement apply.
How we decide
The assessment comes before the recommendation.
We look at equipment age and condition, ductwork and airflow, insulation and windows, electrical service capacity, hot water demand, and the comfort problems you actually notice. The recommendation follows from what we find.
Financing for eligible upgrades is available through Financeit for qualified applicants. Approval, rates, and terms are set by the financing provider.
