Types of Furnaces

A forced air furnace is the most common type of furnace. The furnace draws cool air through the return air ductwork installed throughout your home. The air is pulled into the furnace where it's heated by a gas burner. Once the furnace heats the cool air, the warm air is then sent back through the supply ductwork and pushed out through heat registers to warm your home.

An air handler is a home heat option that is used in conjunction with a boiler or water heater. An air handler is very similar to a forced air furnace, exempt heat is created by the boiler and transferred through a heat exchanger. The air handler draws in cool air from the home, blows it across the warm evaporator coil, and then blows the heated air throughout the home.

Heat pumps are an option and can be an excellent choice in a variety of applications for both new homes and retrofits of existing heating and cooling systems. Heat pumps are very efficient heating (and cooling) systems and can significantly reduce your energy costs. They are a proven technology that have been used for decades, both in Canada and globally, to efficiently provide heating and cooling. They are most common in milder climates.

Types of Furnaces

Air source heat pumps are the most common type of heat pump in Canada. Thanks to a reversing valve in the outdoor unit, a heat pump system works by extracting heat energy from outside air, even in extremely cold temperatures, transferring the heat inside the home, where it releases the heat into the air.

Ground source heat pumps are less common and offer the primary advantage that they are not subject to extreme temperature fluctuations, using the ground as a constant temperature source and resulting in the most energy efficient type of heat pump system.

How to size a furnace

Proper sizing is crucial when selecting a furnace. The best comfort and efficiency is through a properly sized furnace. If the furnace is too small it won’t keep the house at the desired temperature when it is cold outside. If the furnace is too big it heats the house too quickly and then shuts off. This results in hot and cold swings in temperature in the house.

To properly determine the correct size for your furnace rental please contact one of our professionally trained representatives who will be able to assist you in making the right decision for your home.

Frequently asked QUESTIONS

Does a Smart Thermostat make an impact on my monthly consumption ? 

What are your Tips for reducing your energy consumption?

Smart thermostats are highly recommended. Space heating and cooling represents almost two thirds of your home energy use. Choosing an ENERGY STAR certified connected thermostat is a “smart” choice.
Smart thermostats learn the temperature you like and establish a schedule that automatically adjusts to energy-saving temperatures when you are asleep or away to help you reduce energy usage. They provide you with data so you can track and manage your consumption and you have the flexibility to control your heating and cooling system through your smartphone, computer or tablet. All in all, they reduce your at-home energy consumption, save you money, keep your home comfortable, and reduce your carbon footprint. 

Lowering the temperature two to three degrees Celsius is optimal for saving energy and keeping your home comfortable. A good guide is to program 17°C when you are sleeping or not at home, and 20°C when you are awake and at home.
Keep your system clean – regularly clean filters, coils and ductwork to make sure it’s running as efficiently as possible. Consult your owner’s manual for detailed instructions.
