Canada Furnace: In terms of furnaces, our name has a lot to say don’t you think? Canada Furnace has been building our brand of high quality product recognition, the best possible installation/maintenance and overall value ranking that remains at the top of the class since 1984! We are proud of our expertise in all areas of home comfort, whether it be hot water, air quality, air conditioning or heat, but just like our name illustrates the furnace sits as the foundation of who we are and what we do.

We’ve said it numerous times in the past and we’re proud to continue to tell our clients that Canada Furnace while certainly operating as a 21st century dynamic business entity also works as a family – we always have and we always will. The family dynamic goes a long way toward keeping our focus on our customers’ needs and making sure that every service we conduct, whether operational, service related, administrative or accurate information delivery through our sales and marketing efforts is our first set of priorities. Speaking of sales, Canada Furnace considers the entire process as wholly consultative. We are not trying to force you to buy a widget (or a furnace for that matter) but rather we want to assist our client toward making a home comfort decision that fits every parameter you consider as a requirement. Budget, installation requirements, customization if necessary, warranty, long term issues…it doesn’t matter until you are satisfied that all of the concerns for your own home have been satisfactorily considered and solutions extracted.

Of course, up to that point it’s all still just talk. Canada Furnace is also proud of the fact that we employ the best install and service professionals in the BC Lower Mainland – and that’s not just talk! It doesn’t end there either. At the pointy end of the stick is our office staff. Just as important as the rest of the family our administrative people have the same desire to provide quality service as the rest of the company. If you require information, they will endeavor to obtain the most accurate and up to date that can be found. If you are accessing government or corporate rebate programs or other services of that nature, Canada Furnace will take the lead and handle all of the administration, exchange of information and any other part of the maze that may arise from such programs. In other words, you don’t have to worry about any of that. At the end of the day we will take care of all the time consuming details while you enjoy the comfort provided by the warmth and effectiveness of your new furnace.

We cover the rainbow in terms of furnace efficiencies and options as well with a number of brands and models of the state of the art high efficiency forced air furnace. Examples below start at the basic level of high efficiency and move up to variable speed motors and highest efficiency units:

We stock American Standard 92% high efficiency models with standard motor and single stage operation – American Standard 95% HF with variable speed motor and two stage operation – American Standard 97% HF with variable speed motor and modulating gas consumption – Lennox ML 193 93% HF with standard motor and single stage – Lennox 96% HF with variable speed motor and two stage – Lennox 98% HF with variable speed motor and modulating gas consumption. There are a variety of furnace levels and prices depending upon your needs and we always provide a full consultation to determine your unique homes requirements and your particular wish list.

All we’ve talked about up to this point is new furnace installation for the home and furnace sales. That doesn’t mean in any way that the perfectly serviceable furnace existing in your house right now needs replacing. What it may well need though is a furnace service. It’s easy to take for granted that the machine hidden down in the home’s mechanical room somewhere that anyone seldom even sees might need some TLC from time to time – take it from the professionals, it does. Canada Furnace also has the best service team around and we are also realistic about how often and to what depth home furnaces require servicing. As an example: Home A has a 4 year old high efficiency furnace that has been serviced every year since it was newly installed. Home B has a 10 year old furnace that no one has even looked at since installation. Would you like to guess which one is going to require a greater degree of servicing!? Each example will get the same quality and depth of inspection but chances are pretty good that the latter one will most likely require more work to bring it back up to acceptable operating standards. It really isn’t any different from owning an automobile, regardless of quality, cars need maintenance (strangely the more expensive ones seem to need a lot more). If you don’t change the oil on a regular basis in your car you shouldn’t be surprised one day if the engine fails…no difference with a furnace or any other regularly operating machine – “just the facts”!

While we’re on the subject of service, the next logical part of the discussion is of course the furnace problem and the attendant furnace repairs! The quality of new furnaces is very high but gas furnace problems still exist (hey, we’re back to that realization that they are man-made machines and therefore fallible from time to time). Canada Furnace receives calls on a variety of furnaces problems every single day. It could be furnace fan problems, furnace blower problems, no heat from furnace (that’s the big one when the first cold weather of the year hits). It doesn’t matter what it is, Canada Furnace has one priority and that is to get the heat back on for you as quickly and painlessly as possible, and that includes minimizing the damage to your wallet as effectively as is reasonably possible.

Furnace repairs and furnace repair cost (s) can be a tough subject, especially if you have no heat and it’s minus 10 outside. This brings us back to the regular servicing issue. It doesn’t matter if you have the best furnace or best heating system in the world – if you don’t maintain it, it will eventually break down! Statistically, it has been proven that the cost of regular maintenance to your heating furnace is a less costly overall course of action than waiting for it to breakdown, which it will inevitably do when it’s really cold outside! This doesn’t all necessarily mean that you need to have Canada Furnace or another professional HVAC company come out to your place all the time either. It’s a proven fact that regularly changing (or cleaning as the case may be) the furnace filter(s) contributes greatly to the extension of the home furnaces life as well as providing much cleaner in home air for you to breath on a daily basis. As the filtration system becomes more and more plugged up the furnaces blower motor(s) have to work harder to draw air into the unit, making them run hotter and ultimately having their operational life reduced considerably. Regularly changing a filter is a whole lot less expensive scenario than having to remove and install a new blower motor – or something worse! Canada Furnace isn’t just about getting there quickly though. Our vans are fully stocked to reduce any back and forth travel time and after the onsite technician accurately troubleshoots the problem a fair and accurate written quotation for the repair is provided on the spot.

Getting back to filtration, it should be noted that there are a wide variety of avenues available to provide you with the type of air quality (cleanliness) you believe is best for your situation. The vast majority of new high efficiency furnace installations come with fairly basic and generally adequate filtration, most frequently of the replaceable paper type element style. There are a number of quality levels available for this type of filter and depending on the air quality you desire and the frequency they are changed, a good choice can be achieved. To go further, there are a number of electronic filtration units of varying quality and cost that are attached directly to the furnace for even greater air quality control. If air quality is of concern to you, by all means contact Canada Furnace for professional advice. Again, if it’s a service issue you have or you are starting to gather information about a possible new furnace installation or in fact if you have any questions at all about in home comfort, please give our friendly and informative people a call – you will ultimately be glad you did.

OK, so we’ve touched a bit on new high efficiency furnaces, regular servicing and repair issues. Let us now walk through the steps which will take place when you decide that Canada Furnace will be one of your choices of vendor for furnace installation or repair in Maple Ridge, BC. We are in no way afraid of the competition either, if fact we would encourage you to obtain the quotes of at least 2 HVAC professionals before you decide and from that we’re confident that you will ultimately choose Canada Furnace – we’re not being boastful, just confident in the quality of our presentation, installation, follow up and every other detail involved with your decision.
