Alongside our annual maintenance program for your furnace, fireplace, and air conditioner, we offer emergency service in the event your system stops working and is in need of repairs. Our emergency service operates 24/7 to make sure that your heating and cooling system is up and running as soon as possible. We keep a large fleet of vehicles located in different areas in the greater Ottawa area. This allows us to dispatch our emergency service team quickly and efficiently for faster repairs.

We also provide temporary heating options to make sure your home does not get too cold. If you need emergency service please call our main number any time of the day and select emergency service from the menu. Our vehicles are also stocked with some of the most common repair parts meaning that we are often able to repair your system on site without the need for a second visit.

The main difference between AirZone’s Family Plan and our standard Annual Maintenance lies in coverage and value:

  • Family Plan: This plan includes annual maintenance and is designed to offer the best value for homeowners with two or more appliances. It provides comprehensive coverage at a low monthly rate, making it ideal for those who want ongoing maintenance for multiple HVAC systems. The Family Plan offers convenience and cost savings by bundling services for several appliances under one plan.

  • Standard Annual Maintenance: This option is perfect for customers who wish to maintain only one appliance or prefer a no-commitment service. It involves a one-time, comprehensive maintenance service without any ongoing obligations. It’s suitable for those who want flexibility and do not require coverage for multiple systems.

Both options offer the same thorough and professional maintenance services performed by our experienced technicians. The choice between the Family Plan and standard Annual Maintenance depends on your specific needs:

  • Choose the Family Plan if you have multiple appliances and prefer the convenience of a monthly payment with extended coverage.
  • Opt for Standard Annual Maintenance if you have a single appliance or prefer a one-time service without a recurring commitment.

A routine annual furnace maintenance includes:

  • Safety Inspection: Checking for carbon monoxide leaks, gas leaks, and ensuring proper ventilation.

  • Cleaning: Cleaning burners, ignition components, blower assembly, and replacing or cleaning air filters to improve efficiency and air quality.

  • Component Inspection: Examining the heat exchanger, electrical connections, thermostat, belts, and motors for any signs of wear or damage.

  • Lubrication: Lubricating moving parts such as motors and bearings to reduce friction and prevent premature wear.

  • Performance Testing: Testing the furnace’s startup and shutdown cycles, measuring system efficiency, and verifying proper airflow to ensure reliable operation.

  • System Calibration: Adjusting gas pressure, pilot light, and fan controls for optimal performance and energy efficiency.

Regular annual maintenance helps ensure your furnace operates safely and efficiently, extends its lifespan, and reduces the risk of unexpected breakdowns during the heating season.

An annual heat pump tune-up includes:

  • Inspection and Cleaning: Checking and cleaning coils, fins, and filters to improve efficiency and airflow.
  • Refrigerant Check: Verifying refrigerant levels and inspecting for leaks.
  • Electrical Components: Examining electrical connections, testing capacitors, and ensuring controls function properly.
  • Lubrication: Lubricating motors and moving parts to reduce friction and wear.
  • Thermostat Calibration: Ensuring the thermostat accurately communicates with the system.
  • Performance Testing: Running the heat pump in both heating and cooling modes to verify proper operation.

Regular maintenance helps your heat pump operate efficiently, extends its lifespan, and reduces the risk of unexpected breakdowns.

We commonly see water leaks from furnaces and air conditioners or humidifiers due to lack of maintenance. Clogged drains is a common issue in Ottawa and many times a preventative tune up can catch these issues before they happen.

A lot of homeowners in the Ottawa area do not realize that annual furnace maintenance is a requirement to maintain most manufacturer’s furnace part warranties. At AirZone, we ensure that your annual maintenance is documented to meet the manufacturer specifications. We offer annual furnace maintenance for all brands of furnace products. Our maintenance service is performed by expert furnace technicians who are trained to diagnose furnace issues before they happen (and can avoid costly repairs down the road). When you choose AirZone for your furnace maintenance service, your are choosing a family business who is dedicated to the highest level of customer service AND furnace expertise. We are committed to providing honest furnace recommendations without being pushy about new products or additional services. We are here to serve you!

 

Furnace maintenance is extremely important not only for warranty purposes. The furnace is the heart of your heating and cooling system. Annual furnace maintenance helps to avoid costly repairs down the road and ensures that your heater is working correctly and at it’s best. By optimizing your furnace through annual maintenance, you are ensuring that the furnace is working correctly and is tuned to provide the greatest efficiency while operating. This often leads to lower utility bills especially with older furnace products. There is also a safety aspect to furnace maintenance. Our technicians are trained to spot safety issues such as cracks in the heat exchanger that can result in dangerous gasses within your home. If we do find a safety issue with your furnace system, we will recommend either replacement parts or a new furnace installation depending on how old the product is and how much repairs cost. By diagnosing safety issues on site, you can avoid a furnace breakdown during the winter months and take advantage of promotions and savings during slower months. Emergency furnace service can be expensive and you can often avoid these fees by having a simple maintenance completed on your heater.

A common misconception a lot of people have in Ottawa is that an AC warranty will cover you in full for 10 years. A lot of manufacturers offer a parts warranty for this amount of time which is the main reason this expectation exists. The truth is that only some customers will be covered in full for this timeframe. There are three main criteria that they have to meet. First, did they register the equipment with the manufacturer when it is sold (AirZone helps you with this). Second, is the warranty a parts only warranty or did the customer purchase the additional labour warranty? A manufacturer does not warranty labour by default. This is either sold as an insurance add on or included by the dealer (at an increased cost). Third, has the customer completed an air conditioner maintenance by a qualified dealer each year with no breaks. We unfortunately see a lot of people missing out on warranties because they have not completed their annual AC maintenance or missed a year or two. At AirZone, we have put programs in place that prevent you from missing your annual maintenance and instead help you save money through our membership packages. If your air conditioner is in need of annual maintenance contact us today!

When you have your furnace maintained on a yearly basis by AirZone HVAC Services you will ensure that you are getting the most out of your heating system. Annual maintenance is the first line of defence against a furnace breaking down. It’s an opportunity to see what is going on behind the scenes and making sure that your system is running at it’s best efficiency. We commonly find issues such as a clogged filter that will reduce the lifespan of your heating equipment.

By performing an annual furnace maintenance you will get the longest life and avoid an early replacement saving you money in the long run! We offer an easy annual furnace maintenance program through our protection packages. For a low monthly fee you will receive an annual heater maintenance along with many other benefits such as priority service and discounts on new products and services. If you would prefer to book your maintenance each year yourself we also offer an easy option to do so. We would encourage you to book early as our annual furnace maintenance slots fill up quickly in the late fall. Regardless of which option you choose we would encourage you to perform proper maintenance on your heating equipment to enjoy years of proper furnace operation and an extended equipment lifespan.

YES! With high utility bills in the Ottawa area, having an annual hvac maintenance can pay for itself.  During our checklist we make adjustments to ensure your system is running optimally which saves you on energy usage.

Our Approach to Furnace Cleaning

At AirZone HVAC Services we include a basic furnace cleaning during every single maintenance visit.  A clean furnace is an efficient, safe and reliable furnace.  Many heating contractors focus on making the outside of the unit look clean and sparkly and may miss important component cleaning within the unit itself. During every single maintenance and service visit our technicians clean crucial furnace parts to ensure the system is running efficiently. These clean and checks include the flame sensor, gas valve, orifices, burner tubes, drain connections, blower wheel and even the electrical components! 
 
For furnaces that need a bit more love than others, we may recommend a deep clean/rejuvenation. For these furnace cleanings, our technicians will completely pull the blower wheel and give it new life with a thorough cleaning. Furthermore, just like a car detailing, they will run compressed air over all of the components and ensure the system is running like new.  Small parts like flame sensors may be changed to ensure you will have a clean and reliable system for years to come!

How We Clean Air Conditioners

At AirZone HVAC Services, we go above and beyond by including a complimentary air conditioner cleaning with every maintenance visit. A meticulously cleaned air conditioner isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about efficiency, safety, and reliability. While many cooling contractors might polish the exterior to a shine, they often overlook the critical components inside the unit. During each maintenance and service appointment, our skilled technicians thoroughly clean essential parts of your air conditioning system to ensure it operates at peak performance. This comprehensive cleaning covers the evaporator and condenser coils, refrigerant lines, drain pans, blower fans, and even the electrical systems!

For air conditioners that require a little extra attention, we might recommend an intensive deep clean or rejuvenation service. In these cases, our technicians will remove the blower fan entirely and restore it with a thorough cleaning. Additionally, much like a professional car detailing, they’ll use compressed air to cleanse all components, making sure your system runs like it’s brand new. We may also replace small parts like filters or capacitors to guarantee you have a clean and dependable system for years to come!
