As cooler weather approaches, Ottawa homeowners start thinking about one thing—making sure their furnace is ready to handle another long winter. At AirZone HVAC Services, furnace repair calls increase every fall as systems are pushed to their limits. If your furnace is struggling, you’re not alone. We’ve compiled the most common questions Ottawa homeowners ask about furnace repair and how our in-house team can help.
Why Does My Furnace Struggle to Heat My Home Evenly?
Uneven heating is one of the first signs your furnace may need attention. Older systems often develop airflow issues, clogged filters, or weak blower motors. If some rooms are warm while others stay chilly, it’s time for a diagnostic. Our technicians measure airflow, check duct performance, and ensure your furnace is sized correctly for your home.
How Do I Know If I Should Repair or Replace My Furnace?
This is one of the most common concerns. Generally, if your furnace is under 12 years old and the repair is minor, fixing it is usually the best choice. But if your system is older, the repair is expensive, or your energy bills keep climbing, replacement may save you money long term. We often provide side-by-side options so you can decide whether repair or replacement is the smarter investment. For homeowners exploring new systems, we offer top-rated models like the Rheem R96V and Lennox SLP99V.
What’s the Typical Cost of Furnace Repair in Ottawa?
Furnace repair costs vary depending on the issue. A simple thermostat adjustment or filter change may cost very little, while replacing a heat exchanger or blower motor can be more expensive. Most furnace repairs in Ottawa fall between $200–$800. AirZone always provides upfront pricing before any work begins, so there are no surprises.
