What Are The Furnace Prices In Ontario?

Replacing a furnace is not an easy decision to make. The cost of a new natural gas furnace will depend on the type of furnace you purchase. There are many factors that come into play when deciding whether or not to replace your furnace, but for the most part, the average cost of a new furnace in Canada is $4,000-$6,000 - this includes the cost of furnace installation and the cost of the new furnace itself.

What Are The Furnace Replacement Costs Involved?

The average cost of is based on a typical ENERGY STAR® rated high-efficiency furnace. Price variables include the choice of brand, model, unit size, BTU (British Thermal Units), and installation costs. Some installation is more difficult than others, and can take longer.

When the cost becomes above the average price range, this can because of complicated installation, expensive brands, extended warranties, or top-tier furnace units with the highest of energy efficiency ratings and AFUE ratings (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) - such as modulating furnaces variable speeds.

You should be careful if the cost is below the average price range, lower prices typically suggest low quality equipment, limited warranty and labor coverage for 5-years or less with little to no support. Or worse, you could be dealing with an inexperienced or even unlicensed company lacking proper certification or insurance.

Do Furnace Brands Matter?

The short answer is yes. It might seem appealing to choose the lower-cost furnace brand compared to a well-known North American manufactured brand for immediate savings, but short-term savings could come with problems in the long run. We recommend specific brands to our customers such as Luxaire® because of the long-term quality and great warranty associated with the product. We’ve seen other brands have frequent problems only after 5 years of age - this is not acceptable when purchasing a new furnace!

Which Type of Heating System Fits Your Needs? And How You Can Choose The Right One For You

Central heating systems provide heat to all the rooms in your home through ducts and vents. This is the type of system you will find in most homes today because it is the most efficient and cost-effective system for providing heat throughout your home. Most homeowners typically retrofit their existing furnace for a modern version of the same unit. Some consumers, however, choose to upgrade based on the highest efficiency models, while utilizing energy rebate offers.

If you are looking for a change with how your furnace and air conditioning unit operates, consider upgrading to a smart thermostat. This can help you modernize your home with the latest technology, and many smart thermostat brands offer options to help make your HVAC system work more efficiently.
