About Chickadee Furnace Co.
An old-school approach to HVAC in a city full of corporate chains. Owner-operated, honest, and proud of it.
Meet Nolan
Nolan grew up in Meadow Lake, SK and moved to Calgary in 2013. He holds a History degree from Ambrose University and spent years working in various trades before discovering his passion for HVAC — a trade where the stakes are real: a family's heat in a Calgary winter.
After gaining his journey-level certification and spending years learning the trade inside out, Nolan launched Chickadee Furnace Co. with one simple mission: give Calgary homeowners the honest, quality HVAC service they deserve — without the corporate markup.
Every call, every installation, every tune-up — Nolan is the one who shows up and the one accountable for the work. Sometimes subcontractors are required for major electrical upgrades, but all jobs are completed under Nolan's supervision and guaranteed by Chickadee Furnace Co. Our electrician partners are vetted pros and small family businesses like ourselves. You will never have a random crew show up to perform your install.

Why Chickadee Exists
Calgary's HVAC market is saturated with investment-firm-owned chains that treat customers as revenue streams rather than people. Technicians are pushed to upsell, dispatchers are incentivized by booking volume, and the homeowner ends up paying for equipment they don't need or getting subpar work from whoever was available.
Chickadee Furnace Co. is the alternative. Nolan runs a lean operation where he is the technician, the quality check, and the person who answers your call. That means your service is only as good as his reputation — which is exactly how he prefers it.
The old-school approach: You call, Nolan answers. He schedules the appointment. He shows up. He does the diagnosis, gives you a straight answer about what you need, quotes a real price, and does the work himself. That's it. No surprises.
Our Values
Honesty First
If your 10-year-old furnace just needs a $30 part, that's what you'll hear. Not a $6,000 replacement quote.
Quality Work
Code-compliant venting, proper load calculations, precision calibration. Nolan refuses to cut corners — it's his name on the work.
Direct Communication
You get Nolan's direct line. Not a dispatcher, not a call centre. Your technician, directly.
Transparent Pricing
Flat-rate $125 diagnostic. Guaranteed written quotes before any work begins. The price you're quoted is the price you pay.
Trusted Partners & Certifications
Chickadee is an authorized dealer for Trane, manufactured to the highest standard.
