FAQ
Heating & Furnace
Heating systems are important to a lot of people because they can keep them warm during the winter months. However, heating systems can be expensive to maintain and replace. The cost of replacing a heating system is often much less than the cost of repairing it. To keep your furnace functioning properly, you should consider replacing it when it reaches a certain age or if it is not working as efficiently as before.
The following are reasons why you should consider replacing your heating furnace:
-Your furnace is old or inefficient
-You have a small home and need to heat it more often
-You want to improve your home’s energy efficiency
-You have an old furnace that doesn't meet current safety standards
A new furnace can offer substantial savings on utility bills as well as long-lasting operation. People have been replacing their furnaces for decades because they are usually worn out after 10 years of use, are inefficient or difficult to maintain, or break down frequently.
Furnaces come in different types, including electric, oil-fired, and gas-fired models. A furnace installation includes replacing the main components of an existing heating system with new ones that are more energy efficient and cost effective than ever before.
A furnace replacement is a major investment in your home, but it will pay off in the long run with lower energy bills, increased comfort and simply put being more energy efficient. A new furnace could save you up to $1,600 per year on heating bills alone. Look at this case study conducted by City of Toronto:

You should think about replacing your furnace if it is more than ten years old. Furnaces generally are past its warranty after that period and replacing it with a new one will extend it to another 10 years, or in our case get up to 15 years of warranty!

Check the batteries on the thermostat to first find out if the thermostat is functioning properly. If it is not working, try replacing the batteries and readjust the thermostat. If it is still not working, the next step would be to call a professional to investigate/evaluate the equipment.

Air filters should be changed and checked every 3 months. The air filters are located either on the left or right side of the furnace whichever side the return air duct is located.
Did you know that according to a study by The Zebra 82% of homeowners in North America forget to change their air filter monthly, while 29% percent never even change their air filter AT ALL in their home. By signing up to our Maintenance Plan from our website – Imperial Heating, we provide consistent quarterly reminders to you with instructions and tips on how to replace filters so you can maintain your furnace for the longest time. Moreover, with Level 2 we can handle it all for you with our routine quarterly replacements for the filters.
The furnaces are sized based on the sq ft of the home that it is being installed in.
- Nowadays, smaller furnaces are used to comply with new insulating standards, depending on which area you are located. If you are nearby Markham, Scarborough, North York, Mississauga, Toronto, or anywhere near the areas of Ontario, you will likely have to comply to such standards.
Anything up to 40,000 BTU – 120,000 BTU are the general sizes for residential homes (2000 – 4000 sq ft).
The costs of repairing a furnace depends on the age of the furnace. If it is older than 10 years, we recommend buying a new one. However, if it is under 10 years, we can repair it through a service request depending on the issues it has during the diagnostic/evaluation. It could be either broken/damaged, or have leakage from previous older equipment, or just need a tune up. Different rates for each case but ultimately a replacement is necessary if it is damaged.
The total service and the purchase/delivery/removal of old and new equipment would typically range around $4,000 – 6,000 for residential homes.. For financing options check our modifiable calculator to view all increments of the options and add ons available.
Unfortunately, unless you are a licensed gas technician/fitter, you will not be able to install a furnace with the right provincial installation code. Although it is not technically illegal for any homeowner to install a furnace by themselves, you must have a licensed gas fitter sign off on the installation and deemed it fulfills the TSSA safety standards and gas regulation codes.
Lucky for you, our HVAC technicians are licensed fitters and will be able to help you with priority service! Contact us and we can serve you from our nearby area location for timely installations and replacements!
Limited warranties cover all components on the heating furnace, but do not cover labor for the installation of the parts. Hence, if your furnace gets broken or damaged *albeit some conditions may apply, it is covered under our warranty.
The labor portion is also covered IF you sign up to our Maintenance Plan at either Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3. This is a no brainer move if you want to qualify for the top HVAC service plans near your area for high quality furnaces!
Air Conditioning
The furnaces are sized based on tonnage (1 tn = 1000 sq ft) and the sq ft of the home that it is being installed in.
You do not want to oversize or undersize the AC as it will cause freezing and air blockage, and excessive water flow among other problems.
Anything up to 2 tonnage – 4 tonnages are the general sizes for residential homes (2000 – 4000 sq ft).
It is recommended you consult a local HVAC contractor near your area, us at Imperial Heating 😊, for an initial diagnostic to determine the size and type of AC needed based on your space or area for the equipment.
Air filters should be changed/checked every 3 months. The air filters are located either on the left or right side of the furnace whichever side the return air duct is located.
First you should immediately turn off the AC. Then, you can check the air filter to see if its dirty, and then replace it with a new one. Let the system thaw out from its frozen state, and then turn it back on. If it is still frozen, call a licensed HVAC contractor for a solution.
Lucky for you, our HVAC contractors at Imperial Heating can help first by evaluating the equipment and then recommending the best strategy based on safety and comfort they consider fit.
There are perhaps 5 signs to know exactly when to replace your air conditioning system. Firstly, you are not receiving cold air. Secondly. the air circulation is just not particularly good. Thirdly, you may have observed water and leakage near the equipment. Moreover, the AC unit is making sounds that you have never heard before. Last and most importantly, you have had the AC unit it for more than 10 years, and/or it requires constant maintenance.
If you notice any of these signs and do not know what to do, contact our HVAC professionals at Imperial Heating and we can help determine if your AC needs a replacement or just a normal tune up.
