What to look for when choosing a heating & air conditioning contractor

People often fret over the brand of furnace to buy, but the contractor you choose is every bit as important. Not only is the quality of the workmanship and installation crucial to the furnace’s lifespan, the company you choose will be relied on for future servicing and warranty coverage.

Always choose an established company that has:

• Good, independently-verified feedback
• A solid track record and no outstanding disputes
• Verified insurance, licenses, and certifications
• Experienced staff, with manufacturer training
• Registered to offer rebates

Checking all of these things is difficult and time-consuming.

That’s why we’ve already done it for you!

Purchasing a High-Efficiency Furnace

The Four Seasons Of Your Furnace

A long-lasting and efficient home heating system starts with professional installation and continues with regular, effective maintenance.

But, what maintenance needs to be done?

To demystify the maintenance process, we look at what you should be doing each season to keep your high-efficiency working at peak performance.

We only cover basic, routine maintenance of a gas or propane high-efficiency furnace that can be done easily, with just a few household items. More in-depth maintenance or repairs should only be done by a qualified professional.

*Ensure that you have switched off the power to your furnace and that the gas is turned off before performing any routine maintenance. If you are unsure, don’t do it—hire a professional.

Fall

• Have your HVAC system serviced.
• Check your ducts to make sure that they are properly sealed.
• Consider whether you would like to have your ducts cleaned in preparation for the months of heavy use ahead.
• Vacuum the burners and the blower compartment.
• Gently clean the blower blades with a vacuum and small brush.
• Clean the pilot by gently blowing on it (focus your air flow using a drinking straw).
• Once you start using your furnace, check the air filter once a month.
• Change the air filter, as needed, but at a minimum, every 3 months.

Winter

• Now that your home heating system is in full swing, recheck your ductwork, making sure that the ducts are well-sealed. Properly sealed ducts will prevent heat loss and result in higher energy costs.
• After a significant snowfall, visually check the two plastic pipes going outside from your high-efficiency furnace (one is the exhaust and the other the intake). Pipes can frost over or can get plugged up with snow. Clear pipes to ensure that your furnace’s safety switch isn’t activated (the furnace will turn itself off if it cannot exhaust).
• Check your air filter monthly.
• Change the air filter, as needed, but at a minimum, every 3 months.

Spring

• Have your HVAC system serviced, if you didn’t do so in autumn.
• In early spring, your furnace may still be in use, if so, remember to keeping checking your air filter monthly.
• Change the air filter, as needed, but at a minimum, every 3 months.
• Prepare your air conditioning unit for the warmer months.

Summer

Turn your attention to maintaining your A/C unit.

Installation

Start your new high-efficiency journey off right and invest in a professional installation by a qualified technician. Neglecting to do so can result in costly repairs down the line or a reduction in the efficiency or life of your unit. Some experts estimate that furnaces that are not properly installed can be up to 30% less efficient than they have designed to be.

A reputable HVAC company should stand by its work. When looking for the contractor that you would like to employ, don’t forget to ask if they guarantee their labour and installation for a fixed period of time or for the life of your unit. Some retailers may also offer a protection plan or yearly service plan, too.
