Most homes are heated with either furnaces or boilers, but the majority of Canadian homes rely on a central air furnace to provide them with heat.

A furnace works by blowing heated air through ducts to deliver the warm air to different rooms of the house via registers or grilles. Furnaces can be fuelled by gas, electricity or oil (although oil is much less popular).

Inside a gas or oil-fired furnace, the fuel is mixed with air and burned. The flames heat a metal heat exchanger where the heat is transferred to air. Air is pushed through the heat exchanger by the “air handler’s” furnace fan and then forced through the ductwork downstream of the heat exchanger. At the furnace, combustion products are typically vented through a sidewall with 636 PVC pipes.

Older atmospheric furnaces vented directly to the atmosphere, and wasted about 30% of the fuel energy just to keep the exhaust hot enough to safely rise through the chimney.

Condensing furnaces are designed to reclaim much of this escaping heat by cooling exhaust gases, where the water vapor in the exhaust condenses into water. This is the primary feature of a high-efficiency furnace (or boiler). These typically vent through a sidewall with a 636 PVC pipe.

If your system is at least 15 years old (and hasn’t really been maintained), you’ve been finding that your utility bill has been rising steadily each year, then it could be time to buy a new replacement furnace. Today’s furnaces are more efficient than ever, which means replacing an older furnace with a newer energy-efficient model will pay for itself over time with lower energy costs.

If you’re interested in a buying a new furnace, give Geo-Teck a call. Before pulling the trigger on a new furnace its vital that you speak to a certified contractor to have your heating system sized. Choosing the correct heating output is critical to getting the most efficiency and comfort out of your new furnace system.

If your furnace is too small, it won’t be able to keep your house warm during the winter as the space will be too large for the unit to keep up with. If the furnace is too large it will turn on and turn off more frequently, wearing out components and wasting energy.
