Frequently Asked Questions
When should I service my furnace?
Most manufacturers recommend an annual tune-up before the heating season — late summer or early fall in most of Canada. A licensed technician will inspect the heat exchanger, clean the burners, check gas pressure, and replace the filter.
How much does HVAC installation cost in land o lakes?
Costs vary widely by system, home size, and province. A new central AC typically runs from a few thousand dollars; a high-efficiency furnace or cold-climate heat pump is more. Ask a licensed technician for a written quote that includes equipment, labour, permits, and any rebate processing.
Should I repair or replace my old air conditioner?
If your AC is 12+ years old, uses R-22 refrigerant, or the repair quote is more than half the cost of replacement, replacement is usually the better long-term value. A licensed technician can run a load calculation and quote both options.
What's the difference between SEER and AFUE ratings?
SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) measures cooling efficiency for AC and heat pumps — higher is better. AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) measures heating efficiency for gas, oil, and propane furnaces, expressed as a percentage. Higher AFUE means more of your fuel becomes heat.
Do HVAC technicians need to be licensed in my province?
Yes — gas work in particular is regulated everywhere in Canada. Always ask for a gas-fitter ticket (G2 or G1 in Ontario, equivalent elsewhere), refrigerant handling certification (ODP card), and proof of insurance before any work begins.
How often should I change my furnace filter?
Standard 1-inch filters: every 1–3 months during heating and cooling season. Thicker 4-inch or 5-inch media filters: every 6–12 months. If you have pets or allergies, change more often. A clogged filter wastes energy and stresses the blower motor.
What is a heat pump and is it right for my climate?
A heat pump is an electric system that moves heat instead of generating it — providing both heating and cooling. Modern cold-climate heat pumps work efficiently down to -25°C, making them viable across most of Canada. Many provinces and the federal Greener Homes program offer rebates.
How long does an HVAC system typically last?
Furnaces: 15–20 years. Central AC: 12–15 years. Heat pumps: 12–15 years. Ductwork: 30+ years if properly sealed. Annual maintenance extends life on every component. Replace before failure to avoid emergency-rate pricing.
