Furnace Installations
& Repairs In Ottawa

Every furnace is different based on its brand, the maintenance it has received over the years, how frequently it is used, and more. The average lifespan of a furnace is between 15 and 20 years which can drastically change based on the care and maintenance you put in. If you start to notice your furnace isn’t working as well as it used to and it’s nearing the end of its lifespan, it would probably be best to invest in replacing the furnace. Factors to consider when deciding whether it’s time to replace your furnace include:

• Age of the system
• Rising energy bills
• Humidity problems
• Uneven heating throughout the house
• Unusually noisy or develops rattles and buzzes
• Visible signs of rust or cracks
• The need for frequent repairs

It can sometimes be difficult to decide whether it’s time to replace your furnace, so the best way to know is by calling a professional HVAC technician for an inspection. Contact Crestway HVAC today, our team is here to help you make an informed decision about your home heating system.

While it is possible to install your own furnace, we don’t recommend it! Without the proper tools or knowledge, you’re putting your safety at risk. At the same time, you’re also risking damage to your home and the equipment. A professional HVAC technician will know the right techniques and know the exact installation procedure to use to get the job done right. A professional can also help you choose the exact size of furnace you need to properly heat your home. Choosing the wrong size can result in the system overworking itself to try and heat your home. Working with a professional always provides you with the peace of mind that everything has been hooked up properly. A furnace must get connected to the main electrical system of your house. It also must be hooked up to your ductwork properly so that no dangerous gases are leaking into the vents.

The best option is the safest option, hire a professional team of technicians to install your new furnace in Ottawa. Contact Crestway HVAC today to learn more!

The average functioning period of a furnace is between 15 and 20 years. This does vary depending on how well a furnace is maintained and how frequently it is used. If a furnace is properly maintained over the years and receives quality repairs when problems arise, then it could well outlast its estimated lifespan. When your furnace is about 15 years old, we recommend looking into replacement options just so you are aware of what is out there! We also recommend that you hire a professional HVAC technician each year (before or after the season of use) to inspect your furnace. Doing so will ensure that you catch any small issues before they become big ones. Most of the time, furnaces might need a quick repair that can add years to their lifespan. If small issues go unnoticed, there is a greater chance that it will develop into an issue that is going to cost you a lot of money.

You should either change or clean your filter (if you have a reusable filter) every 90 days and should be checked at least every 30 days. Your furnace filter has a dirty job, collecting hair, dust and other small particles from entering your furnaces, extending its life by years. The key to a smooth running furnace is a regularly checked and cleaned filter.
