TORONTO COMMERCIAL HVAC
Toronto's Building Stock Demands Specialized HVAC Expertise
Toronto is one of North America's most demanding commercial HVAC markets. The city's building stock ranges from century-old heritage structures in the Financial District to brand-new glass towers in CityPlace, from low-rise retail plazas in Scarborough to high-density condominiums in North York. Each building type comes with its own HVAC challenges, code requirements, and tenant expectations.
​
Burban Air Systems has been serving Toronto's commercial buildings since 1980. In four and a half decades, we've worked on virtually every type of commercial HVAC installation the city has to offer — packaged rooftop units on strip mall plazas, chilled water systems in office towers, make-up air systems in restaurants, building automation in corporate campuses, and emergency repairs at all hours of the day and night.
​
Our technicians know Toronto's permit requirements, understand the challenges of crane coordination on narrow downtown streets, and have relationships with the building operators, property managers, and condo boards who manage the city's most important commercial properties.
Whether your building is a high-rise tower on Bay Street, a multi-residential complex in Etobicoke, or a manufacturing facility in Scarborough, we have the experience, certifications, and in-house team to deliver commercial HVAC services that keep your building running.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
Common Questions About Commercial HVAC in Toronto
Q.
How fast can Burban respond to an emergency HVAC call in Toronto?
For most locations within the City of Toronto, our emergency response time is under 1 hour. Our fleet operates across the entire city and our dispatch team is available 24/7, including weekends and holidays. Response times can vary slightly based on location and traffic conditions, but Toronto locations are typically our fastest.
Q.
Does Burban handle crane coordination and permits for downtown Toronto RTU replacements?
Yes. Downtown Toronto rooftop unit replacements often require street occupation permits, crane scheduling, and coordination with Toronto Police for paid duty officers. We handle all of this end-to-end as part of our project scope. You don't need to manage multiple vendors or navigate the City of Toronto's permit process yourself.
Q.
What types of commercial buildings does Burban service in Toronto?
We service the full range of commercial properties in Toronto including office towers, condominiums, multi-residential high-rises, industrial facilities, retail plazas, restaurants, schools, government buildings, hotels, and mixed-use developments. Our experience covers everything from heritage buildings in the Financial District to new construction in CityPlace.
Q.
Is Burban a preferred vendor for Toronto property management companies?
Yes. We work with major property management companies across Toronto and maintain all the credentials required for preferred vendor status — ContractorCheck accreditation, WSIB clearance, TSSA licensing, HRAI and ACMO memberships, and comprehensive insurance. We can provide our complete vendor package to your compliance team within one business day.
Q.
Does Burban work on Toronto heritage buildings and older commercial properties?
Absolutely. Toronto has a substantial inventory of heritage and pre-war commercial buildings, and we've been working on them for 45+ years. Older buildings come with unique challenges — outdated electrical, tight mechanical rooms, unusual ductwork, and heritage preservation requirements. Our team has the experience to navigate these properly.
Q.
What HVAC brands does Burban install in Toronto commercial buildings?
We install and service all major commercial HVAC brands including Carrier, York, Lennox, Trane, Daikin, Mitsubishi, Rheem, and Keeprite. We're also an authorized Carrier i-Vu building automation contractor. We recommend equipment based on your building's specific needs rather than pushing a single brand.
