Unifor Local 1999 members at Mr. Furnace Heating and Air Conditioning have ratified a new three-year collective agreement that delivers meaningful wage increases and improved benefits for HVAC installers and service technicians.

"Every worker deserves a contract that respects the value of their skills and keeps pace with the cost of living," said Unifor National President Lana Payne. "This agreement does that, and it's a credit to the members and the bargaining committee who made it happen."

The agreement covers 17 workers at the St. Catharines, Ont.-based company and runs from April 11, 2026, to April 10, 2029. It includes wage and task rate increases of four per cent in the first year, three per cent in the second year and 2.5 per cent in the third year, as well as an increased boot allowance.

"These workers keep families warm and safe in their homes, and this contract recognizes that essential work," said Unifor Ontario Regional Director Samia Hashi. "Strong agreements like this one show what's possible when workers stand together."
