About Essa (Angus)

Essa Township lies southwest of Barrie. Angus is the main community, next to Canadian Forces Base Borden, with Thornton, Baxter, Utopia and farmland across the rest of the township.

Military families and CFB Borden

Many Angus households are military families who move every few years. If you live in Department of National Defence housing on the base, repairs are normally handled by the Canadian Forces Housing Agency (CFHA), so contact them first. If you own or rent a home off base in Angus, call us any time.

Just moved in? Get to know your furnace

If you've recently bought or rented a home, find the furnace's rating plate (usually inside the front panel) and note the model and serial number. Check the filter size and when it was last changed, and test the carbon monoxide alarms. Knowing the furnace's age and service history makes any future repair call faster.

Homes and heating in Essa

Essa furnace questions

I live in military housing at CFB Borden. Who fixes my furnace?

For Department of National Defence housing on the base, contact the Canadian Forces Housing Agency (CFHA) first, since it normally handles maintenance for those homes. If you own or privately rent a home off base in Angus or elsewhere in Essa, you can call us 24/7.

I just moved to Angus. How can I tell how old my furnace is?

Look for the rating plate inside the furnace's front panel. The serial number often encodes the manufacture date, and some plates list the date directly. If you can't tell, take a photo of the plate and a technician can usually work it out.
