How to save money on residential furnaces?

/in , /by

Heating accounts for 61% of your home’s energy use and offers the greatest opportunity for cost savings. Residential furnaces with ENERGY STAR Most Efficient label will save you even more money on your utility bills. Saving energy helps you save money while also lowering your carbon footprint. On average, an ENERGY STAR certified natural gas furnace uses 6% less energy while an ENERGY STAR certified oil furnace uses 9% less energy compared to traditional models.

Rather than cycling on and off repeatedly, high-efficiency blower motors and fans adjust their speed to match your air distribution needs.

Furnaces in Canada can have two labels

  • The ENERGY STAR symbol means the model is highly energy efficient.
  • The EnerGuide label, which is optional, displays the model’s energy consumption and how it compares to similar models.

ENERGY STAR certified products are subjected to rigorous efficiency testing and certification by an independent third party. They perform as well as, if not better, than standard models without sacrificing performance.

Extend The Life Of Your Furnace

Extend The Life Of Your Furnace

/in /by

It’s no secret that living in Toronto and the GTA isn’t cheap. So it makes sense that you’d want to get the most out of your home’s heating and cooling. We’ve found a few simple things you might want to know about to extend the life of your furnace.

Annual Maintenance Can Extend The Life Of Your Furnace
This one is kind of obvious. After all, you wouldn’t drive a car without ever taking it in for an oil change. The same goes for your furnace. With annual maintenance, you can get peace of mind knowing a professional is taking a look at your home’s heating. This gives them the chance to diagnose any issues or make recommendations about potential repairs that may be needed. Helping you make informed decisions about what to do next – rather than be surprised and in a panic.

General Maintenance Helps Extend The Life Of Your Furnace Too
Don’t forget that you can always do the minimum yourself when it comes to taking care of your furnace. Start by keeping vents clear and open as well as replacing air filters every few months. These help your HVAC run efficiently and prevent it from working too hard for too long. Plus, they’re easy to do.

Extend The Life Of Your Furnace With Complementary Heating
So you have your furnace serviced every year or two but still want to help it last longer? Maybe it’s time to consider letting your home’s HVAC run at a lower temperature and make up the difference with a ductless unit instead. These are great for spot heating and cooling, allowing your furnace to not work so hard on those cold nights. Having a ductless unit in a cooler area of your home can help raise the temperature without wasting energy heating the entire home. Ask your HVAC professional if this could be the solution for you.

Tips to Ensure You Have an Efficient Furnace

/in /by

You might not realize it, but your furnace might not be as efficient as you think. There are numerous things that can affect whether you have an efficient furnace or not and understanding them is essential to how much running your furnace costs you.

An efficient furnace is important to your monthly bottom line, and if saving money is important to you you’ll want to read this.

An Efficient Furnace Starts With…

  • Keeping furniture, curtains and other things away from the vents in your home. If the air can’t properly circulate in your home, your furnace will have to work overtime to warm the rooms in your house.
  • Duct cleaning is essential to allowing the warm air from your furnace to flow freely around your home. If ducts are dirty or have debris in them then airflow is inhibited and your furnace has to work harder to spread the warmth.
  • Clean or replace your air filter. If the air filter in your furnace is dirty then the airflow is restricted and your furnace has to work harder than normal to push air through the filter and then through your home.
  • Annual maintenance is one of the best ways to ensure you have an efficient furnace. An experienced and knowledgable furnace repair and furnace maintenance technician will evaluate your furnace and perform a tune-up to ensure that it’s running as efficiently and reliably as possible. This appointment will also ensure that you avoid as many repairs as possible by addressing any concerns early on before they lead to major repairs and in turn expensive repair costs.

Overall, the HVAC industry has taken steps to improve environmental sustainability. Green HVAC technology is more efficient, will save you money, will last longer and will reduce your carbon footprint compared to older HVAC systems and furnaces in particular.

The Best Furnace Repair In Toronto And The GTA

/in /by

My name is Alison and calling Furnace Pro Inc this past winter was the best decision I could’ve made when I needed help with my furnace.

It started with just a noise and then snowballed – no pun intended – into a full on breakdown of my furnace. Now I live in a smaller home in Toronto and the GTA with my mother, so having no heat on a cold winter’s day isn’t really an option. My mom’s 85.

Naturally I reached out to friends and family members to see who they would recommend for furnace repair, and I got some responses that I called to book an assessment. The big problem I found was the lack of urgency from most of those other guys. Almost all of them wanted to dispatch someone the following week to just visit my home and assess what was wrong. I felt pretty defeated, but it was actually a truck on my street that led me to calling Furnace Pro Inc. They were working on my neighbour’s home, so I figured I’d see what they were all about.

To my surprise they were very receptive and empathetic to my situation. Within just a few hours, that same truck was in front of my home. They did a great job answering my questions as well as handling the furnace repair in record time. That same weekend the temperatures outside reached negative 20, so I was very grateful for the quick help. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else for quick and reliable furnace repair than Furnace Pro Inc!

Before Calling For Furnace Repair…

/in , /by

Furnace season is almost here. Most of us didn’t take the time this summer to check that our furnace is operating properly because it was nice and warm out, and of course we have all been very busy having fun. Well, the fun is slowly coming to an end with September almost here and school upon us. You may find that your furnace isn’t working as well as it should, but before calling for furnace repair here’s what you need to know.

Don’t worry, not all furnace repairs require a full furnace replacement, but again before calling for furnace repair…

Here are the things you should check before calling for furnace repair

The Power

One of the most common issues is that there is no heat coming through the vents in your house at all. This might mean that a circuit breaker has been tripped, which is one of the most common reasons a furnace isn’t working. If this is something that happens often, then you might need to call an electrician to evaluate if you have the right type of circuit breaker for your furnace. The last thing you want is for your furnace to draw more power than your electrical system can handle.

The Outdoor Air Intake

One thing to be sure to check before calling for furnace repair is the outdoor air intake. If this is blocked with leaves or snow your furnace might not be able to draw enough air into the system, which can really inhibit how well it works. This will also negatively affect the efficiency of your furnace, which will also cost you money on your monthly energy bills.

The Thermostat

If your furnace won’t turn on you may just need to change the battery in your thermostat, if it isn’t hard wired to your home. A weak battery may not be able to send the signal from the thermostat to the furnace to tell it to turn on, which may lead you to believe your furnace needs repairs.

The Furnace Filter

If your furnace is running, but there’s no hot air and old clogged filter might be the culprit. A really dirty filter will affect how well your furnace works and also negatively affect the efficiency of your furnace. You will also experience much more wear and tear than usual.

Overall, if your furnace isn’t working well and you’ve checked all these things then you should call Furnace Pro Inc for furnace repairs or furnace maintenance. Contact us for a free estimate or more information: 647-547-6094.
