Repair vs. Replace: When to Decide
If your furnace is over 15 years old and repair costs approach 50% of a replacement, it may be smarter to upgrade. Ottawa homeowners can often combine manufacturer rebates, government incentives, and in-house promotions when installing a new high-efficiency furnace.
