/in , /by

So, it’s finally happened. Your trusty old furnace has kicked the bucket. It’s a sad day in your household, but it doesn’t have to be. Now that you have to replace your old furnace you can install a new high efficiency furnace. A growing trend with our customers in Toronto, York Region and the rest of the GTA is that they’re replacing old furnaces with new high efficiency furnaces. They’re doing so for a number of different reasons.

Save Money With A High Efficiency Furnace

Most people install a high efficiency furnace because they’re sick and tired of their rising energy bills. The government is continually increasing energy prices, so operating your household is constantly getting more expensive. A high efficiency furnace can save you up to 20% or even 30% on your energy bill depending on the size of your home and the SEER (seasonal energy efficiency ratio) rating on your new furnace. The higher the SEER rating on your new high efficiency furnace, the less energy it will use.

An Eco-Friendly High Efficiency Furnace

It might seem fairly obvious, but a high efficiency furnace is more environmentally friendly than other furnace models. Simply put, they use less energy to heat your home and in doing so reduce your carbon footprint. There are also models that work at two stages depending on your needs and these models operate very efficiently to provide your family with warmth all winter long.

How Reliable Is A High Efficiency Furnace?

When you install a new high efficiency furnace you might wonder if it’s going to be as reliable as your trusty old furnace that lasted for 20 years and never let you down. Are newer furnaces built as well as older ones? The truth, is they are built even better, which means they’re even more reliable. Furnace manufacturers these days have taken advantage of years of insights and technology to develop furnaces that last. They do require annual maintenance to ensure they’re running as efficiently as possible, but with advanced computer systems keeping everything in check the chances of a breakdown are significantly reduced.

How Affordable Is A High Efficiency Furnace?

Depending on the size of your home and your needs every homeowner can afford a high efficiency furnace. While they are more expensive when it comes to up front costs, high efficiency furnaces save you money in the long-term with lower energy bills and fewer repair costs. Overall, their upfront cost is easily offset by their benefits and other savings.

Furnace Filter Differences: What You Should Know

/in /by

When it comes to your furnace and home heating system there are always lots of difference choices to make. Even when it comes down to the small things like your furnace filter there are lots of options to choose from. It’s always important to ensure your furnace filter is the right size for your furnace, but which type of filter is the best?

Furnace Filter Types

When it comes to your furnace filter, there are 4 main types that you can consider when replacing it.

Disposable Fibreglass Furnace Filters: This is the most basic type of furnace filter. It’s also the least expensive type of furnace filter. They’re designed to filter the air that passes through your furnace. They keep it free of debris, dust and other larger particles as they move through your system. They’re the most affordable option because they don’t do much else to ensure the air in your home is clean.

Disposable Electrostatic Furnace Filters: These are a more expensive type of furnace filter. These disposable electrostatic filters work very well when it comes to stopping very small particles, allergens and other small particles from being blown throughout your home. These filters work great if you’ve got pets in your home. They’re also ideal to help filter the air if people smoke in your home.

Disposable Pleated Furnace Filters: These filters do an excellent job of filtering out very small mites and spores out of your home. These filters need to be changed more often than other types of filters otherwise your furnace will have to work harder than it needs to. This can lead to unnecessary wear and tear to your furnace and HVAC system.

Permanent Electrostatic Furnace Filters: These filters are for those that want to reduce their household waste. These reusable filters are simply thrown into the washing machine, and can be reused for up to 8 years. The one issue with these filters is that they’re not as effective as the disposable filters.
