Over a single heating season, dust and debris accumulate on the blower motor and burners. Cleaning these components ensures your furnace doesn't have to work overtime to circulate air, dropping your winter natural gas bills.
We identify failing igniters, worn-out bearings, or weak inducer motors while they are minor adjustments. Catching these components early prevents them from escalating into a midnight system failure.
A cracked heat exchanger is a severe structural breach that leaks toxic, odorless carbon monoxide into your vents. Our multi-point inspection includes an electronic combustion gas analysis to verify the system is completely safe.
Most major hardware manufacturers explicitly state in their fine print that their 10-year parts warranties are voided if the homeowner fails to provide documented proof of annual professional maintenance.

I highly recommend TipTop Plumbing & Heating! I posted in the Ask Calgary Facebook group looking for recommendations for a company near me in Evergreen, and I’m so glad I did. Ray came out within two hours to assess an issue with my furnace. For a $75 travel/service fee, he took the time to explain what was going on, gave me a quote for the repairs, and even walked me through how furnaces work! He was also upfront about my options and explained that there were things I could potentially do myself to save some money. I’m always a little nervous about calling repair companies because you hear so many stories about people getting ripped off, but Ray was honest, straightforward, and genuinely helpful. No pressure, no unnecessary upselling, and no nonsense — just honest advice and clear information so I could make an informed decision. It’s such a relief to find a company you feel you can trust. I’ll definitely be using TipTop Plumbing & Heating again and would happily recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, honest service!Posted on Google![]()

My furnace stopped working on a Saturday September morning that was cold and rainy. I live in rural alberta and everyone out here was busy till the following Monday or the charge just to show was a bit more than I had, I called Tip Top and found out they were in Calgary, I got some info and let them know I would call back. About 30 minutes later I called back and they scheduled me in for an afternoon appointment. Soon after I got a call back saying they had finished early on a job and could be out for late morning around 11:00 Tom arrived on time of this visit. He went downstairs checked out the furnace, while explaining everything to me along the way. He told me it was the intake motor, took out the part, showed me what was wrong. He could not fix this part. He got on the phone and tried to get one but being a Saturday he could not get one till Monday morning. He cleaned up, let me know about the part he would pick up. I gave him the payment required which took me a few minutes to move some things around. I found Tom to be very pleasant, knew and liked his job, and was helpful in explaining things to me. He offered to get me some portable heaters as it was going to be a cool weekend. I thought this was a nice gesture but said I would be okay. He said he would see me first thing on Monday after he got the part. Tom called Monday morning after getting the part to let me know when he would be at my home. He came in, went to the furnace and did the work needed, cleaned up, explained everything to me, about warranty, invoice etc. I paid the balance and off he went. His customer service with this job was one of the best . I would definitely call this company again for such great service. When the furnace kicked in it was smooth, and the heat blew nicely. Thank you to TOm and Tip Top for making me cozy for this up coming winter. DonnaPosted on Google![]()

Great service! We got an appointment the same day, Thomas was sent out to help us. He was great, changed a pipe that was leaking in 10-15 minutes. He was letting us know of some useful information to know for the future. Definitely someone that knows and enjoys their job. Great job, quick and reasonable pricing!Posted on Google![]()

August or September is the right time to book. Technician availability is highest, scheduling is straightforward, and if the inspection reveals anything that needs repair, there is time to source parts and complete the work before the furnace is needed. This is the window when booking is easiest and wait times are at their shortest.
April or May is the second-best window. After the heating season ends, a tune-up catches any damage from the past winter before the furnace sits idle all summer.
October and November coincide with the first cold snaps of the year when demand spikes. Since emergency calls take priority, wait times grow and the cushion to fix anything found before you need heat is gone.
A single annual tune-up is a good decision. The Total Care Plan is the better one.
TipTop’s Total Care Plan covers your annual furnace tune-up plus priority scheduling when you need service. This matters most during peak demand in January and February when standard customers may wait. Plan members also receive discounts on repair work throughout the year.
The case for a plan is straightforward: homeowners who commit to annual maintenance and priority service spend less on total HVAC costs over time than those who book reactively. A furnace that is serviced consistently lasts longer, runs more efficiently, and fails less often.

can indicate a cracked heat exchanger, loose components, or ignition issues
often an electrical, sizing, or airflow issue
a tune-up is still worthwhile, but the technician may raise a replacement conversation depending on condition
