1. Your furnace has broken down and it is older than 10 years and/or out of warranty and a furnace repair is not justifiable with respect to its cost.
2. Your home furnace has been “red-tagged” by a licensed gas fitter technician.
3. Your furnace is old.
4. Your fuel costs are sky-rocketing.

Read more about the main reasons to replace your furnace.

This is in detail explained in our furnace and A/C sizing guide page. It is beneficial for you to read through this page but most important factors to remember in determining the size of your furnace is first noting the existing size of your furnace (output heating value expressed in BTU/hr) – we can in most cases use the charts on our sizing guide page to find out the right size given the age and square footage of your home.

You can find pricing on our Goodman Furnaces, if you live in the Greater Toronto Area. We are limited by Carrier Corp and Lennox industries not to provide pricing on Carrier and Lennox furnaces online. So please give us a call or ask us for a free, no-obligation, in-home estimate.

The AFUE is the OUTPUT heating power/INPUT heating power. The INPUT and OUTPUT values are always displayed on the furnace sticker. For a 20 to 30 year old Toronto furnace, you are usually looking at around 70% AFUE. Please do remember that the AFUE, depending on the quality of the furnace and the manner in which it has been maintained throughout the years, will slowly decline over the years. So, for instance, if a 25 year old furnace is rated to have an AFUE of 70%, its true efficiency is probably at around 60% after 25 years of hard work. This value can be far less depending on the furnace maintenance record.

This blog post goes more-in depth about the “importance of AFUE”.

For maximizing your peace of mind with respect to your new system installation and operation, be sure to explore all warranty options and differences. At most times, you will be given extended warranty options. Ask about those. The norm in our Toronto furnace market is a 10-year manufacturer part’s warranty. Don’t forget to have the labour warranty mentioned on your contract with the heating and cooling company. The labour warranty is usually offered by the installing contractor. 1 or 2 years of labour warranty is reasonable. Anything longer, you must look over your entire contract to search for fineprints indicating any conditions on the extended labour warranty.

You can count on two rebate programs at the moment:

• Ontario Power Authority (OPA) rebate offered by any Toronto HVAC contractor that is an HRAI member.
  This is a $250 rebate if you replace your existing heating system with any high-efficincy furnace that features an ECM motor.
• As of December 15, all manufacturer’s warranties are void.

A furnace requires a proper cleaning and inspection every year at least once. Please turn off the furnace before you start cleaning it. Clean the parts and then brush gently the logs until they are clean one by one. You can also use of a vacuum cleaner to remove off the dust from the logs. You can clean the inner part of the furnace by itself. There’s a special furnace glass cleaner we created that you can acquire from our stores, which will help you clean the furnace glass. Caution! Do not use these standard glass cleaners. They can react vigorously with carbon deposits that accumulate in the fiery furnace. Wipe the inside parts of the furnace with a moistened piece of cloth.

If you live in the Greater Toronto Area, you are most probably aware that the cost of natural gas has been at its ultimate low and today natural gas furnaces are most widely used amongst Torontonians. Natural Gas rates have displayed consistent decline from about 35c in April 2006 to less than 9c per cubic meter as of July 2012.

Because of this low operational cost incentive, many Toronto homes are now replacing any non-natural gas fuel source to natural gas. If you are a Toronto resident currently not having a gas meter, you should think seriously about switching to natural gas and applying for a gas meter. There are also many incentives, like free installation and even considerable cash or gift card incentives for you to switch to natural gas.

When looking at different furnace brands and models available in Toronto, there are numerous factors and features that determine if you are making an economical investment:

• What are the estimated operational cost of this furnace?
• How much is the complete installed price plus HST?
• Number of Heating Stages: single-stage? two-stage? three-stage? or fully modulating?
• ECM Blower Motor?
• ECM Inducer Motor?
• Available Parts and Labour Warranty of the furnace?
• Rebates.

In a multi-stage operation, there exists a gas valve which regulates gas flow rate into the burners and the heat exchanger. In a single-stage operation, the natural gas is always flowing at its full 100% capacity.

In a 2-stage operation, the system usually – depending on thermostat settings – first comes on the lower heating stage, which is associated with about 60% of its full natural gas flowrate capacity.

The same concept lies under a 3-stage furnace, except that instead of 2 different settings at 60% open and fully open, the gas valve now has 3 settings, another one at around 40%. A 3-stage furnace can often be referred to as a modulating furnace which is different from a true modulating furnace.

Now a true modulating furnace is one that has over 40-50 settings on its gas valve regulator with small incremental change from 30 to 100% opening.

• ECM X13 – multi-speed motors
  ECM stands for Electronically-Commutated Motorsand all ECM motors will first convert from AC electricity (the type of city electricity) to DC power. These multi-speed motors are about twice more efficient in electricity consumption than PSC single-speed blowers.
• ECM – True Variable Speed
  Unlike the multi-speed motors, there are many more different speed settings increasing at small increments. They can be 4 times more efficient than ECM X13 motors.
• ECM Inducer Motors
  An inducer motor or also referred to as a ventor motor, which basically drives the burnt flue gas (essentially carbon dioxide formed as a result of combustion of natural gas) out of the high-efficiency furnace and outside your home.

Fire furnaces are safe. Most of them are designed to shut down whenever there is no flame burning it off. To avoid the risk of fire, each furnace goes through thorough testing. This ensures that it is safe as we provide you have fire extinguishers and our contacts in case of any emergency.

Fire furnaces are safe and secure for the entire family household. The only thing to consider is the use of proper ventilation. This is to ensure it runs smoothly and perfectly all through producing fresh and pure air. Avoid leaving the fiery furnace on through all night. However, you can consult your doctor to guide and recommend whether this is a bold step to take and an ideal addition to your home.
