Most homeowners don’t think about their furnace when it’s hot outside. But here’s a little HVAC industry secret: summer is actually the best time to plan your furnace replacement—especially in Ottawa, where demand skyrockets once the cold sets in.
Whether you’re noticing signs of an aging system or looking to upgrade to something more efficient, acting now comes with major advantages.
Take Advantage of Off-Season Availability
By mid-fall, HVAC schedules in Ottawa are booked solid with emergency service calls and last-minute replacements. Scheduling a furnace installation during summer means better availability, faster service, and more time to explore options without pressure.
It also gives you time to ask about heat pump hybrid systems, which may qualify for additional rebates or dual-use setups that optimize both heating and cooling.
Early Install Means Fewer Surprises in Winter
Replacing a furnace in the middle of a January cold snap isn’t just stressful—it can also mean temporary discomfort and emergency costs. With a summer install, you can:
- Avoid mid-season failures
- Test your system before you actually need it
- Complete duct upgrades or add-ons without rushing
If your existing system is 15+ years old or showing signs like uneven heating or frequent repairs, this is your sign to get ahead of the curve.
