If your Toronto home’s upstairs turns into an oven in July or feels like an icebox in January, the cause is poor airflow. Homes near Franklin Heights, Clark Street, and River Avenue often need improved return vents, sealed ducts, or zoning adjustments. Honest Fix identifies the source and restores consistent comfort on every floor.
Toronto’s older riverfront houses and postwar two-stories were built before modern duct sizing and insulation standards. Homes along Ridge Avenue or in Franklin Heights trap warm air upstairs during muggy Ohio Valley summers, then lose heat fast in winter. Add in the steep hillside terrain and fluctuating river humidity, and airflow balance becomes a year-round struggle.
Our technicians use pressure testing to locate airflow losses before recommending any equipment upgrades. In many Toronto homes, simple changes—like adding upstairs returns, sealing duct leaks, or improving attic ventilation—make the biggest difference. For larger homes in Franklin Heights or along County Road 47, zoning or a variable-speed system provides precise temperature control.
Warm air rises, and without strong returns, it has nowhere to go. Added vents and sealed ducts circulate air more evenly.
Yes. Ridge or powered attic fans can drop attic temperatures by 20–25°F, reducing heat transfer into upper rooms.
Absolutely—Honest Fix serves all of Toronto, including Franklin Heights, River Avenue, and Daniels Heights.
