A local company that kept adding licences.

We would rather learn your house than hand you another phone number.

Two technicians, one van, and a list that kept growing.

Lantern began in 2012 with heating work on the streets around Fairbank Road. Customers kept asking whether we also did the leak in the basement, then the panel in the garage, then the deck rail nobody wanted to climb.

Rather than hand people a phone number for someone else, we hired the licence. Fourteen years later there are nine of us, still on the same streets, still answering the same number.

We would rather lose a job than sell you a system you do not need. That rule has kept us busy for fourteen years.

The same crew, the same schedule, the same standard.

Lantern started as two technicians and one van in Wrenfield. We kept the part people liked — you talk to the person who does the work — and added the trades they kept asking us for.

One number for all of it
No three-way call between a plumber, an electrician and whoever installed the furnace.
The price before the work
A flat quote in writing. If something turns up behind the wall, we stop and re-quote.
We leave it clean
Floor protection on the way in, old parts on the counter, and a sweep before we go.

  • The furnace quit on the coldest night of the year. Someone picked up at eleven, a van was here by seven, and we had heat before the school run.

  • They found the leak with a meter instead of a sledgehammer, gave me the price in writing first, and the floor went back exactly as it was.

  • I had a list of nine things I had been ignoring for two years. They did eight in an afternoon and told me honestly that the ninth needed a specialist.
