Purchasing a High-Efficiency Furnace in Brampton

Energy efficiency is a major factor in choosing your new natural gas furnace. Replacing an inefficient forced-air furnace model can save you money on your monthly energy bill. Natural gas makes sense as a heating source in Brampton, since the infrastructure is already in place.

The term AFUE refers to the amount from every dollar that is going directly towards your energy costs. The higher the AFUE, the less money spent to heat your home.  The minimum AFUE in Canada is 92 per cent, which means for every dollar spent, 92 cents will be used towards energy costs. This represents a large savings on your energy bill. A good rule of thumb is to spend as much as you can afford to get the highest AFUE you can and then you can see a maximum return.

Features to consider:

• Purchasing the highest rated AFUE model you can afford will allow for maximum savings on your energy bill. Replacing a 20-year-old furnace with an energy efficient model can show up to 45 per cent savings on energy costs.
• You can buy in bulk and save. Many companies offer deals when buying a complete HVAC system (heating, ventilating and air conditioning). This typically includes an air conditioner, heat recovery ventilator and air filtration system.

It’s important to protect your investment. When purchasing a furnace there are many factors to consider beyond the price, specifically what type of warranty is available. Warranties will vary from five-year limited parts warranty to 10, 20 or lifetime ‘comprehensive’ warranties.

A warranty will not be worth the paper it’s printed on if it is from a company that won’t be in business next year. Make sure you go with a reputable furnace manufacturer. When purchasing a warranty be sure to read all the fine print. Some warranties require you to perform annual maintenance and cleaning with a certified technician. Be sure to mail your warranties so you are on file. Some HVAC professionals will offer an additional labour warranty with installation. These typically last one year.

Installation

For your high-efficiency natural gas furnace to operate at peak efficiency, it must be the right size for your home and the installation needs to be done correctly. If the unit is too small, the motor will have to cycle more to compensate, consuming more energy and raising your home heating costs. A licensed and certified HVAC technician can recommend the appropriate size of unit for your home and budget and complete the install in accordance with safety codes, wiring  schematics, and location.

High-Efficiency Furnace Pricing

In Brampton, high-efficiency furnace pricing from trusted and popular brands like Goodman, Lennox, and Trane generally cost between $2200 and $4200, depending on the type and any upgrades or add-ons you select. Installation by a licensed and certified HVAC technician is likely to cost between $500 and $1,500, bringing the average total cost of a new home heating system to $2700 – $5700 in Brampton.

Furnace prices can vary depending on factors such as:

• The model and manufacturer
• Unit size and BTU output
• Efficiency rating
• Whether the furnace is single, two-stage, modulating, variable speed or multi-speed

Home heating systems with a higher AFUE rating and BTU output will generally cost more than models with lower ratings. The installation particulars can also affect the overall price. Install location (e.g,. a small, hard-to-reach space), the age of your current system (if applicable), and whether upgrades must be made to meet current building codes all have an impact on cost. Replacing a furnace with the same heating type is also less expensive than converting it to natural or propane gas from oil.

There are three common financing options available, each with flexible payment terms and open term loans that can be repaid over a period of 12-180 months.
