About Dr HVAC


“When you have a heating, cooling, or plumbing problem, we know it can affect your entire life.

It’s our mission to get things back to normal… or better than normal… as quickly as possible. We want to see a smile on your face when we leave.”

– Brendon Aldridge, owner

The Dr HVAC Story


When you open your door to one of our technicians, you can feel confident that you’re getting a licensed professional – and a nice person.

All of our technicians must have their Gas Fitter 2 license (or better), a great attitude, and pass a criminal background check before we hire them.

My passion for diagnosing and solving problems started at a young age, whether it was helping out around the family farm or getting the thermostat settings “just right”.

That curiosity and drive for solving problems was the inspiration when I took the leap to start Dr HVAC back in 2007.

Our Vision

Put customers first, always. And provide exceptional service that leaves customers feeling valued and satisfied.

A Well-Trained Team


Today, I am proud to say we’ve built Toronto’s best team of well-trained technicians, support team members and plumbers who not only have top-notch technical skills but also excel in customer service. Continuous improvement is key for us in all areas.

Over the years, we’ve grown through acquiring companies that share our commitment to excellence and bringing our unique service-first approach to the Greater Toronto Area.
