Trusted heating service across Cape Breton since 1977. Furnace and oil tank installation, annual maintenance, and 24-hour emergency repair — performed to the standard the previous generation set.
The business was founded as Otto Strongs in 1977 on a straightforward principle: do the work properly, charge fairly, and answer the phone when a customer needs help. Nearly five decades later, that principle still defines how we operate.
Under new ownership, the standards Otto Strongs established remain in place. The same crews, the same training, and the same commitment to service — including the after-hours calls that come in mid-January.
The work is what carries the name forward.
We focus on oil heating exclusively — installation, service, and repair. It's what we've done since 1977, and it's what we do best.
Boilers and hot-air systems sized correctly for the home and the climate. We work with quality manufacturers and recommend the model that fits the application — not the one most convenient for us.
Indoor and outdoor tanks, including replacement and removal of existing units. We manage the full process — permits, removal, installation, and disposal — with most jobs completed in a single day.
Reliable hot water delivery for households of any size. We assess capacity requirements based on actual usage and install accordingly — no over-spec, no under-spec.
Annual inspection and tune-up service for all major manufacturers. Preventive maintenance significantly reduces the likelihood of mid-winter failures and extends equipment service life.
Round-the-clock emergency response with a live answer at any hour. After-hours calls are billed at standard rates — service in winter is the work, not a premium product.
An approved provider for provincial and federal housing-grant programs. We coordinate paperwork, inspections, and program correspondence directly, allowing eligible homeowners to focus on the outcome.
We answer the call. We arrive on time.
We do the work properly.
