OUR HOME TERRITORY
Scarborough Is Where Burban Was Built — And Where We Know Every Building
Burban Air Systems was founded in Scarborough in 1980 by Gord Burlie, and we've been headquartered here ever since. Our base at 15 Crockford Blvd puts us at the centre of Scarborough's industrial and commercial district, and it means that when a Scarborough property manager calls with an emergency, our technicians are typically on-site faster than any other GTA HVAC contractor.
Over 45 years, we've serviced hundreds of Scarborough buildings — the industrial parks along the 401 and Markham Road, the commercial strips of Kennedy Road and Lawrence Avenue East, the high-rise residential towers of Malvern and Agincourt, and the institutional facilities scattered across the district. We've watched Scarborough's commercial landscape evolve, and we know its building stock in a way that only comes from being here, every day, for four and a half decades.
Scarborough is our home. When you call Burban from a Scarborough address, you're not calling a GTA contractor who services your area — you're calling the contractor that was built here, for here.

Scarborough's industrial belt runs along the 401 and branches through Markham Road, Progress Avenue, and the Warden Avenue corridor.

KEY CORRIDOR
Based in Scarborough. Built for Scarborough.
When you call Burban for Scarborough service, our technicians aren't driving in from another part of the GTA — they're already here. Our headquarters at 15 Crockford Blvd Unit 6 puts us in the middle of Scarborough's industrial district, minutes from the 401 and within easy reach of every part of the district.
That proximity translates directly into faster emergency response, lower travel time on every maintenance visit, and a team that knows Scarborough's roads, buildings, and permit offices the way only a local operator can.

WHY BURBAN
Why Scarborough Property Managers Choose Burban
Scarborough Is Our Home
We were founded here in 1980 and we've never left. We're not a GTA contractor who covers Scarborough — we're a Scarborough contractor that covers the GTA. That's a meaningful difference for building operators who want a local partner, not a distant vendor.
100% In-House Team
Every technician is a Burban employee, many with 20+ years of tenure. No subcontractors, no unfamiliar faces. Long-tenured staff who know Scarborough's buildings — and the people who manage them — personally.
Fastest Local Response Times
Our Crockford Blvd headquarters puts us minutes from most Scarborough commercial and industrial areas. For emergency calls, that proximity is the difference between a disruption and a crisis. No other GTA HVAC contractor can match our Scarborough response times.
Certified & Fully Insured
TSSA licensed, WSIB compliant, ContractorCheck accredited, and carrying $5M+ liability coverage. All documentation available on request — typically within one business day for compliance submissions.
Unmatched Local Knowledge
45 years of working in Scarborough means we know its buildings, its industrial parks, its permit offices, and the property management companies that operate here. That knowledge makes every service call faster, smoother, and better documented.
Thorough Documentation Every Visit
After every service call you receive a detailed written report. For Scarborough industrial clients with compliance requirements, our documentation has been a key differentiator for over four decades.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Scarborough Commercial HVAC — Frequently Asked Questions
Q.
Why is Burban the best choice for Scarborough commercial HVAC?
Burban was founded in Scarborough in 1980 and has been headquartered at 15 Crockford Blvd ever since. No other commercial HVAC contractor has our depth of local knowledge, our established relationships across the district, or our proximity to Scarborough buildings when emergencies happen. For Scarborough property managers, we're not an option among many — we're the home-base contractor that has been showing up here for 45 years.
Q.
How fast can Burban respond to an emergency HVAC call in Scarborough?
Faster than any other GTA HVAC contractor. Our Crockford Blvd headquarters puts us minutes from most Scarborough commercial and industrial areas. We target under one hour for all Scarborough emergency calls, and our actual response times in the district are typically significantly better than that. Real dispatchers answer 24/7 — no voicemail, no call centre.
Q.
Does Burban service industrial buildings along Scarborough's 401 corridor?
Yes — industrial work along the 401 corridor, Markham Road, Progress Avenue, and the Warden Avenue industrial strip has been a core part of our Scarborough business since 1980. We have extensive experience with large-format warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and distribution centres with high-volume make-up air systems and complex ventilation requirements. These facilities are practically in our backyard.
Q.
What types of buildings does Burban service in Scarborough?
plazas, restaurants, schools, institutional buildings, and mixed-use developments across all of Scarborough. We specialize in commercial and multi-residential work — no single-family residential.
Q.
Is Burban a preferred HVAC vendor for Scarborough property management companies?
Yes — and for many Scarborough property managers, we've been their preferred contractor for decades. Our full compliance documentation — TSSA license, WSIB clearance, ContractorCheck accreditation, and insurance certificates — is available on request. Visit our Partner With Burban page to request our complete vendor package.
Q.
Can Burban help Scarborough industrial buildings with energy efficiency upgrades and rebates?
Yes. Many of Scarborough's industrial buildings have aging HVAC equipment with significant efficiency improvement potential. We conduct energy audits, identify upgrade opportunities, and guide clients through the Enbridge and Hydro One rebate programs that can offset a meaningful portion of equipment and installation costs. Free site assessments are available for Scarborough buildings.
"Burban coordinated the full RTU replacement — crane, permits, everything. The building was occupied the whole time and tenants didn't notice a thing. Seamless from start to finish."
