Furnace Installation in London Ontario

When buying a new furnace, simple is better. You shouldn’t need to worry about researching which furnace is best or the difference between brands. That’s where Platinum Air Care comes in; with a quick consultation, our HVAC technicians are able to distinguish your needs and quickly offer you the best options for your situation and budget.

When its time to replace your furnace

Furnace repair is a good thing, but only when it is within the manufacturer’s span, which on average is 15 years. In older furnaces, the efficiency drops and costs more to operate than it use to, not only that but as time passes technology advances and newer high-efficiency furnaces become available. According to Hydro One “Heating and cooling accounts for almost two-thirds of household electricity use", so it makes sense to own an energy-efficient furnace when considering the savings on your energy bills in the long run. Not only that, but energy savings also come from natural gas furnaces.

Determining when to upgrade your furnace

The first question is how old is your furnace? New homeowners usually struggle with this question when buying a previously owned home. Check the furnace manual or installation label on the furnace; if you are unable to find the age that way, you can open the furnace panel for full furnace information including the serial number.

The second question is are you constantly repairing your furnace? Frequent repair in an old furnace may not be cost-effective compared to simply upgrading your furnace. You should consider repair cost and age before going ahead with the repair; and either way, when it comes to repairing or replacing your furnace, reputable HVAC companies always quote you the repair cost before moving forward.

And the third question; have you had any maintenance done to your furnace at all? If you never had any maintenance done to your furnace, and the furnace is a few years old, you really should consider it. Take for example a recent Lennox furnace we upgraded a customer from. From an outside perspective, the furnace operated, but the new owner did not know it was exposed to a water leak which caused major rusting on the interior.

Interior rust in a furnace can become a great health risk; especially when the heat exchanger becomes rusted. A rusted heat exchanger can crack and allow toxic gases into the home, this is a serious health risk that can jeopardize the occupants of the home or dwelling. This is why many HVAC companies recommend regular inspection and maintenance of their heating system.

Experience benefits from a new high-efficiency furnace

There are multiple reasons why upgrading an old furnace is worth it, even aside from energy savings. Improved efficiency means better for the environment. Newer technology means better use of gas, using less gas, means you are reducing your home's carbon footprint. Modern furnaces run quieter than old models, and modern technology such as smart thermostats is a great way to save up to 15% more on your energy bill. A brand new furnace also means a great warranty and great reliability for the long-run
