  1. Furnace Turn Up the Heat

  2. Canada is known for having very cold winters. The coast of British Columbia is the only area that averages temperatures above freezing in the wintertime. Everywhere else in the country has below freezing temperatures throughout the winter, and due to this, central heating and furnaces are a necessity. Anyone familiar with cold weather knows just how miserable it can be to run out of heat, or to be chilled on a cloudy winter day.

  3. Because of these issues, the furnace maintenance and repair industry in Canada is booming, and you do not have to look far to find a qualified specialist to repair, maintain, or install a brand new, state-of-the-art furnace.

  4. The middle of winter would be a terrible time to have a furnace go out. In areas where snow is commonplace, the furnace is a very important tool for the safety and comfort of a household. Fortunately, the men and women of heating and air companies of all sizes are here to help, and will work in the most non-ideal conditions to help get a furnace back online, and pumping out hot air to help get through those cold winter nights.

  5. Imagine feeling a chill in the air for the first time of the season, the chill that inspires one to grab a jacket and maybe put on a pair of thick socks. Maybe it is gray and cloudy outside, and the hot cocoa just is not quite doing the trick. You go to turn on the heat and *click*, nothing happens. What could the issue be? Is it a dirty filter?

  6. Is it possible that the thermostat is not working properly? Is the furnace broken? More importantly, are you savvy enough to diagnose and fix the issue? Many people would prefer to have a professional take care of all these scenarios, and in Canada there is no shortage of furnace repair companies looking to help bring the heat back.

  7. While there is quite a lot of maintenance that one can do on their own, there are also many things that should be attended to by a professional. Basic preventative maintenance can be handled by the homeowner such as: • Changing the furnace filter • Cleaning the flame sensor • Checking the thermostat • Ensuring that power is flowing to the furnace

  8. Sometimes a homeowner may not feel comfortable doing all of these, as many furnaces use natural gas a heating source. This day in age furnaces are safer than ever, but the odd issue does occur now and again. For those that prefer to have somebody else do it, furnace repair pricings can be somewhat affordable, depending on the amount of service required.

  9. Across Canada many companies will charge around the same amount on average for various services, which are not limited to: • For annual inspection, thermostat repair, flame sensor or igniter repair, the average is between $80 to $300. • If one needs a limit switch service, burner repair, or gas valve replacement, that is going to cost between $115 to $470.

  10. • How about a thermostat replacement, repairing or replacing a blower fan, or replacing the circuit board? That is going to cost around $125 to $650. • Finally, should one need to replace or repair the existing motor or the heat exchanger, that is going to set one back about $1,200 to $2,400.

  11. For those that are comfortable performing some of their own furnace repair, the only tools required are screwdrivers, a new filter, non-abrasive cleaning pads, a vacuum, and potentially a new thermostat. The DIY-er can take care of many services on their own but should also pay attention to the safety related to furnaces as well.

  12. A competent repair person will always follow the rules of safety when it comes to furnace repair, such as always shutting down the power, always referring to owner’s manuals for proper operation and maintenance, utilizing gas monitors to detect leaks or hazardous environments, and using the proper replacement parts for a job.

  13. Many people can do these repairs and diagnostics, but there are also many times it is necessary to call in a professional to do the work. It can be very rewarding to do these projects yourself, but it also incredibly important to know when it is time to have a professional take a look. Most companies in Canada employ technicians that hold independent certifications, and that is something that is good to look for when choosing a repair company to do work on one’s heating and air system.

  14. Other great things to look for are all proper licenses and certifications, experienced staff, good reviews, happy customers, proper insurance, and fair quotes and pricing. A good company should have no problem providing a competitive quote and encourage a homeowner to shop around and get the best fit for their current situation.
