How it works

Furnace, made simple

A gas furnace turns fuel into warm air and pushes it through your ducts to every room — fast, reliable heat for a Canadian winter.

  1. 01

    Ignition

    On a call for heat, the igniter lights the gas burners inside a sealed combustion chamber.

  2. 02

    Heat exchanger

    Your home's air blows across the hot heat exchanger and warms up, while the exhaust vents safely outside.

  3. 03

    Blower & ducts

    A blower pushes the warm air through your ductwork to every room, then the cycle repeats until the thermostat is satisfied.

What size do I need?

Sizing your furnace the right way

Furnace output is measured in BTUs per hour. The rule of thumb above is only a ballpark — the real number depends on your insulation, windows, ceiling height, air leakage, and our cold winters.

Measured in BTUs per hour

A rough starting point is 40–60 BTU per square foot for a GTA home

A rule of thumb gets you in the ballpark — but an oversized system short-cycles: it blasts on, shuts off, and wastes energy while heating or cooling unevenly. The right size comes from a proper load calculation, not a square-footage formula.

What we measure

  • Square footage, layout, and ceiling height
  • Insulation and how well the home is sealed
  • Windows — size, number, and which way they face
  • Our climate — cold winters and humid summers

We confirm the exact size during a free in-home assessment — so you get a system that fits your home, not a guess.

Common problems we solve

Furnace issues we fix

No heat at all

The furnace won't fire, or fires and shuts down. We diagnose ignition, flame sensor, gas valve, and control-board faults.

Short cycling

Turning on and off too often usually points to airflow, a dirty flame sensor, or an oversized unit. We find the real cause.

Cold air or weak airflow

Blower, ductwork, or a failing limit switch. We check the whole air path, not just the furnace.

Rising bills or strange noises

Booming, rattling, or climbing gas bills are early failure signs worth catching before a breakdown.

Repair or replace?

Signs it's time to act on your furnace

It's 15+ years old — most furnaces last about 15–20.
Heating bills are climbing without a cold snap to explain it.
It short-cycles — turning on and off more than it used to.
Some rooms never warm up, or the heat feels uneven.
Repairs are getting frequent — or a single fix costs close to half a new unit.
A yellow (not blue) burner flame, or you've been told the heat exchanger is cracked.

Repair or replace? Rule of thumb: if a repair runs more than about half the price of a new furnace — or the unit is past 15 years and failing — replacing usually pays back in lower gas bills. A cracked heat exchanger is a safety replace, not a repair.

Simple ways to make your furnace last

Change the air filter every 1–3 months — a clogged filter is the #1 cause of avoidable breakdowns.
Keep supply and return vents clear of furniture and rugs so air can move.
Book a yearly tune-up before the heating season — it catches small issues and keeps your warranty valid.
Notice new noises or short-cycling early; a small fix now beats a no-heat call in January.

Rather have it handled? Book a seasonal tune-up and our licensed techs cover it all in one visit.

What affects the cost

What affects the price

Every home is different, so we quote in writing after we see yours — no guesswork numbers online. Here's what actually moves the price.

Size & output (BTU)

A unit sized to your home — not a rule of thumb. Oversizing short-cycles; undersizing runs constantly.

Efficiency (AFUE)

Higher-efficiency furnaces cost more up front but use less gas. We show the trade-off for your usage.

Furnace type

Single-stage, two-stage, or modulating — comfort and efficiency rise with the tier.

Ductwork & venting

Existing duct condition and whether a new chimney liner is needed for high-efficiency venting.

Removal & install complexity

Old-unit removal, access, gas and electrical changes all factor in.
