HVAC & Plumbing in Orillia

Relica Comforts is a licensed HVAC and plumbing company serving Orillia and the surrounding Lake Simcoe and Lake Couchiching communities. We repair and install furnaces, heat pumps, and air conditioners, and handle full plumbing service — from downtown Orillia and West Ridge to the rural townships of Ramara, Severn, and Oro-Medonte. We answer the phone 24/7 for no-heat and emergency calls at (647) 491-6009.

Heating in Orillia's climate

Orillia sits between two lakes, and lake-effect conditions push temperatures down fast in winter. Heating is the system that can't fail here, and a lot of the local housing stock is reaching the age where it does. Century homes around downtown often run older equipment with less insulation, while the 1990s and 2000s builds in West Ridge, along University Avenue, and toward Rama on Highway 12 are now hitting 18 to 25 years on their original furnaces — well past optimal service life. Efficiency also drifts with age: a furnace rated 92% when it was installed two decades ago may be running closer to 78% today, which shows up directly on your gas bill.

We repair and install all major furnace brands, carry common parts on the truck so most repairs are done in one visit, and give you an honest repair-versus-replace assessment before any work — not a sales pitch.

Natural gas, propane, and oil around Orillia

In-town Orillia homes are mostly on Enbridge natural gas. Out in Severn, Ramara, Coldwater, and Washago, many properties have no gas line and run on propane or heating oil instead. That matters: rural Ontario households spend roughly 37% more on home energy than urban ones (about $3,198 a year versus $2,002), so the efficiency of your system carries more weight the further you are from town. We service natural-gas and propane furnaces, and for older oil-heated rural homes we can lay out whether a high-efficiency furnace or a cold-climate heat pump is the better long-term move.

Air conditioning and plumbing

Orillia summers get humid, so we also handle air conditioning repair and installation, plus full plumbing — water heater replacement, sump pump service, drain cleaning, and emergency pipe repair. Every job comes with upfront pricing and a warranty.
