Heil, at a glance
Points
Heil’s major strength is that it delivers good pricing and affordability. They also have a wide range of energy-efficient furnaces that are ideal for both residential and small commercial use and are pocket friendly for mediocre customers.
Room For Improvement
Heil hits every category of quality with a 90%+ rating from its customers. As a whole, Heil’s furnace line has a slightly lower AFUE average as compared to other top brands, but the difference is too small to be of any significant importance.
The Bottom Line
Heil is ideal for Canadian consumers who are looking to purchase a furnace from a brand with excellent warranty coverage and is affordable. However, it can be tougher to find Heil distributors as compared to some of the other top brands such as Goodman which are commonly found.
Heil Average Price Range:
$2,900 – $6,000 (includes installation)
Manufacturers and distributors sometimes offer promotions on specific Heil units, on certain occasions. The exact final cost will also depend on the product, your location, the size of your home, and any additional installation requirements according to your home (every home is different).
