Rockland and the wider City of Clarence-Rockland are part of Oria Heating and Cooling’s HVAC service area for furnaces, central air, heat pumps, water heaters, gas lines and HRVs. In town, most homes heat with Enbridge natural gas; rural Clarence properties often use propane or oil. We book Rockland visits from our Nepean shop, and the emergency line never closes.

Rockland homes, from the old town to the new subdivisions

Rockland is the main urban centre of Clarence-Rockland, in the United Counties of Prescott and Russell, east of Orléans where Highway 174 continues as County Road 17. Older streets near the Ottawa River hold post-war bungalows and two-storeys, and the town has grown quickly with commuter subdivisions of townhomes and singles built from the 1990s on.

Outside town, in Clarence Creek, Bourget, Hammond and along the river, the picture turns rural: larger lots, private wells, and more propane, oil and electric heat. Many of those homes are strong candidates for heat pumps.

Rockland is on the far side of the city from our Nepean shop, so we book visits with a realistic arrival window and group calls where we can. Emergency calls are still answered around the clock.

Furnace and air conditioning service in Rockland

Much of our Rockland work mirrors what we do next door in Orléans: furnace replacements in 20- to 30-year-old houses, central air installs, and repairs on whatever brand the builder or a previous owner chose.

Homes from the 1990s often still have an original mid-efficiency or early high-efficiency furnace and an air conditioner that runs on R-22. R-22 has been phased out, so topping one up gets expensive. When that AC fails, replacing it together with the furnace usually gives the best result and a properly matched system.

Rockland jobTypical installed range
Furnace + AC combo replacement$8,000 – $15,000
Central air conditioner replacement$4,000 – $8,000
AC repair (most common repairs)$150 – $1,200; compressor replacement $1,800 – $3,500
High-efficiency gas furnace (96–98% AFUE)$4,500 – $8,500 (variable-speed/modulating up to ~$10,500)
Smart thermostat installed$250 – $600
Furnace humidifier (bypass / fan-powered)$500 – $1,000; steam humidifier $1,200 – $2,200

These are typical installed ranges before rebates. Your price depends on the home, the equipment and any venting or ductwork changes, and estimates on new installations are free. Financing from $49/month is available on approved credit.

After the 2022 storm: gas appliances that keep working

After the 2022 storm: gas appliances that keep working

The May 2022 derecho left parts of Clarence-Rockland without power for days, and plenty of owners have since thought harder about how they’d cook and stay warm in the next long outage. A gas range with burners you can light by hand, or a standing-pilot gas fireplace, can carry a household through.

We install gas lines for ranges, dryers, BBQs, fireplaces and garage heaters in Rockland homes with natural gas, and propane piping for rural properties. Every line is pressure-tested before an appliance is connected.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers from licensed Ottawa technicians. Still have a question? Call us any time.

(613) 866-186924/7 emergency line

Do you service Rockland and Clarence-Rockland?

Yes. We cover Rockland and the surrounding Clarence-Rockland communities, including Clarence Creek, Bourget and Hammond. Rockland is east of Orléans along Highway 174, on the far side of Ottawa from our Nepean shop, so we give you a clear arrival window when you book. Emergency calls for no heat, no cooling or no hot water are answered 24/7.

My Rockland AC uses R-22. Should I repair it?

Usually not, if it needs refrigerant. R-22 has been phased out, so the remaining supply is costly, and any unit old enough to use it is typically past 15 years. A small electrical repair can still be worthwhile, but a leak or compressor failure is normally the point to replace. A new central AC typically costs $4,000 – $8,000 installed.

Is a heat pump a good fit for a rural Clarence home?

Often. If you heat with oil, propane or electric baseboards, a cold-climate heat pump can lower heating costs and add air conditioning. Exposed rural lots catch strong winter winds, so we size the system and its backup heat from a proper heat-loss calculation. With existing ducts, expect roughly $9,000 to $18,000 for a ducted system, less any rebates.

Power just came back after a storm. Is my Rockland furnace safe to restart?

Usually. Most furnaces restart on their own once power returns and the thermostat calls for heat. If yours doesn’t, check the breaker and the furnace service switch, clear any debris or snow from the PVC vent pipes outside, and replace a badly clogged filter. If you smell gas, leave the house and call Enbridge’s emergency line first; call us for repairs.

Do you install water heaters in Rockland?

Yes. We install gas tank water heaters ($1,800 – $3,200 installed for 40–50 gallons) and tankless units ($3,500 – $6,500), and we can help you replace a rented tank with an owned heater or arrange a rental. Rural homes on wells may need more frequent flushing because of hard water.

How old is too old for the furnace in a 1990s Rockland house?

If the furnace is original to a 1990s house, it’s now roughly 26 to 36 years old, well past the typical design life. It may still run, but efficiency drops and safety parts like the heat exchanger wear out. Replacing it with a 96–98% AFUE model usually runs $4,500 – $8,500 installed before rebates, with modulating units costing more.

Recently had our aging furnace replaced by Mansoor and his team. Mansoor was very responsive from the very beginning, from first contact to the completion of work. Friendly and polite from start to finish. It was very easy to book a visit/inspection and kept me posted when he was on his way and estimated time of arrival. The quote was competitive and very detailed and he answered all my questions and requests for clarification promptly and professionally. He kept me updated on the arrival of the furnace and when the installation would be. Replacement of our old furnace with a new Lennox 97% AFUE was done efficiently and my home was left as it was, housekeeping after the installation was done well, as clean as when they arrived. Overall a great experience with Mansoor and his team from Oria Heating and Cooling.

5/5 Stars. We had a wonderful experience with Ori Heating and Cooling Ottawa for our new air conditioner installation. The technicians arrived on time, explained the process, and completed the installation quickly. They were very respectful of our home and left everything completely clean. The pricing was fair, and the service was top-notch. If you need HVAC work, this is the company to call! Mr. Mansoor is the head and I am glad to see him that when his staff completed the job and he came and checked by himself and make sure that his staff completed the job effectively this is more Impressive.

My A/C suddenly stopped cooling, and it turned out to be the capacitor. Mansoor replaced it right away and explained clearly and kindly what caused the problem and how to take care of the system going forward. I really appreciate his great service. Thank you so much for bringing the cool air back to my home and saving my summer!

Our home AC unit stopped working on a hot day during a long weekend. Called Oria and spoke to Mansoor. He was at my house in 30 minutes. Tried several different approaches to fixing the problem and provided his opinions on the best way forward without trying to sway me in either direction. I ultimately decided my best option was to not put good money over bad and just replace the 13 year old unit with a new one. Mansoor set an install date for a few days later as the replacement unit needed to be ordered. The install went very smoothly and I was very impressed with how neat the install was both inside and outside the house. The techs were a pleasure to work with also; very professional and courteous. I had one snag that wasn't Oria's fault, but the manufacturer's, and I was very impressed with how Oria handled it. When the new unit was started up, it worked fine, but the fan vibrated more than it should; something was not right. The techs advised Mansoor and he came personally to inspect. He then got on the phone to the manufacturer, who advised that they had received several issues with this model recently, and that the fan would need to be replaced. Mansoor obtained the replacement fan a few days later and promptly did the swap. He did not leave the issue to me to sort out under warranty. Instead he took the bull by the horns and wanted to make it right for me. I greatly appreciated that. Needless to say, I would recommend Oria anytime. EDIT: Well, Oria came to my rescue once again. The blower motor on my furnace crapped out Thursday evening, so no AC (again just before a long weekend). Spoke with Mansoor Friday morning, and to make a long story short, I had a new furnace installed before lunch on Saturday (furnace was 19 yrs old, so figured go new). Perfect job and a great price. I don't know how you can beat that. Don't waste your time trying. Just call them.

Owner is very honest. I suspected my AC compressor was broken when I first called him. He came and diagnosed the same issue, but went through numerous other attempts to fix it before determining that the compressor was beyond repair and needed to be replaced. He even tried to install some jump starter piece which broke, and just ate the cost without charging extra. What we really appreciate is that given how expensive AC replacement is, and despite the fact that this sort of job would make him the most money immediately, he still went through many different steps to try to avoid replacement. This is someone who really does care about his customers and making a lasting business. We will be using his company again if we ever have other issues

Our AC suddenly stopped cooling, even though it was still blowing air. I called Mansoor at Oria, and he arrived within two hours. He quickly diagnosed the problem, explained everything clearly, and had our AC back up and running in no time. Mansoor was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and professional throughout the entire service call. It’s refreshing to deal with someone who takes the time to answer questions and genuinely cares about doing the job right. I highly recommend Mansoor and Oria for anyone looking for fast, honest, and reliable HVAC service all at a reasonable price. Thanks again!
