Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency is a rating that allows to to understand how efficient a furnace is performing in terms of efficiency. Consider every 1 dollar you spend on heating your home. A furnace with an AFUE rating of 96% would provide 96 cents of usable heat out of the dollar spent. This is an easy way to analyze and compare furnaces with different efficiency ratings. We recommend furnaces that have at least a 96% AFUE ratings since these products often qualify for additional government rebates (versus lower efficiency models).

Ductwork is often forgotten when considering a home heating system. Your furnace supplies air throughout your home via a series of ducts. If these ducts are leaking you may be spilling air into the wrong spots in your home. A common problem indicator is when rooms that are further away are much colder than rooms close to the furnace. Also, a poorly designed duct system may restrict airflow resulting in poor heating equality. This usually leads to a homeowner turning up their furnace to compensate for the colder rooms. This reduces your home efficiency and makes certain rooms less comfortable.

A new furnace will not fix ductwork issues. Instead, make sure to analyze your ducting system when considering your home’s efficiency and comfort. Products such as fan boosters can help to equalize heating in your home, and duct sealing is always a good option to improve efficiency and duct performance.

Due to our broad coverage area across Eastern Ontario, we deal with a lot of oil furnaces. Furnaces that use oil as a fuel are becoming less and less common due to their operational cost. For customers outside of the city, propane is a much more affordable alternative. In order to make the switch from oil to propane a conversion must be completed. Once done, your will see a very large reduction in fuel costs. Oil to propane conversions is one of our most popular services across the Ottawa Valley.

For clients living in the Ottawa area, natural gas is the best choice for a high efficiency furnace. The availability of natural gas in your area usually decides whether you will have a natural gas or propane furnace installed in your home.

The first thing you should do when considering a new furnace for your home is have your equipment sized correctly. British Thermal Units (BTU) provide a measurement of the amount of heat generated from your furnace (output). Residential furnaces are available from 40,000 BTU all the way up to 120,000 BTU. This is one of the most important reasons to choose an expert heating company who will size your system correctly.

A under-powered furnace will result in rooms that are warmer and colder throughout the home. Further, a furnace that is not pushing enough warm air has to work that much harder. This will result in a furnace with a reduced lifespan along with higher utility costs. By having your furnace properly sized, it will perform as it should providing much more consistent heating throughout your home.

AirZone has extensive experience with properly sizing residential furnaces across Ottawa and the Valley. Contact us today for a free estimate on a new furnace even if you are just looking for a second opinion.

A common question we receive from our customers is when they should replace their furnace. Most often, homeowners wait until the last minute to have their furnace replaced. This is usually when they are facing a large repair bill or their furnace has stopped working completely. There are many factors to consider when deciding on the right time to replace your heating equipment.

Furnace Efficiency – If you have a furnace that is 12 years or older it may be time to start considering the benefits of a new heater. Older furnaces require a lot more resources to run and technological innovations have made new furnace products exceptionally efficient. The cost of a new furnace can be offset by the energy savings. This is also something to consider if you are financing you new heating product since the monthly cost is reduced by savings on your utility bill.

Repair Cost – Before you go ahead with a costly repair, take the time to consider how long your furnace should operate. There is a breaking point where you will be throwing away money with furnace repairs and instead should consider a new heater. We can help calculate this for you to show you the right time to move on to new equipment.

Furnace Age – A broken down furnace almost always results in a higher cost than if you plan a new installation. By planning your furnace purchase ahead of time, you can take advantage of dealer promotions, government incentives, and avoid an emergency heating call. By being proactive with your furnace installation you are sure to save and not be inconvenienced by a broken down product.
