What customers see

Natural gas

Enbridge Gas supplies natural gas in Toronto. Furnaces, water heaters and gas fireplaces are serviced by TSSA-certified gas technicians; if you smell gas, leave the house and call Enbridge’s emergency line or 911 from outside.

Building permits

Toronto Building needs a permit for a deck more than 60 cm (24 in) above the ground, for basement work that changes the structure, adds plumbing or creates a unit, for new or modified heating and plumbing, and for a backwater valve. Replacing a furnace or boiler in a house, or repairing and replacing plumbing fixtures, needs none. North York’s Toronto Building district office is at the North York Civic Centre, 5100 Yonge St., by appointment.

Requirements

What you’ll need

Customers let Doyo pros into their homes. These checks are why they do.

  • 18 or older, legally able to work in Canada
  • Government photo ID and a matching selfie
  • A clear police record check
  • A smartphone with the Doyo Pro app
  • Your own tools, and transport to jobs
  • TSSA gas technician certificate (G2 or higher)

Licensed trade

Yes. Gas work in Ontario needs a TSSA-registered contractor and a certified gas technician, so Doyo checks your TSSA gas technician certificate (G2 or higher) before you are offered heating work.

Some trades also ask for proof of liability insurance; the application tells you if yours does. Doyo reviews your documents — usually within a couple of business days.

Payouts

How payouts work

For jobs the customer pays by card through Doyo, your earnings reach your Doyo balance when the job is completed, and payouts are sent weekly by e-transfer. Tips are yours in full. On quote jobs, the deposit and balance are held until the customer confirms the work, and a warranty holdback is released after the warranty period.
