Ensure reliable, efficient heating through the cold Ontario winters with expert furnace installation from Kawartha Eco Climate Control. Installing a new furnace is a key investment in your home’s comfort and energy efficiency. This guide details the reasons for investing in a new furnace, how to choose the right one, our installation process, and the benefits of professional service.
Why Invest in a New Furnace Installation?
Replacing an old furnace or installing a new one offers significant advantages for your home and budget:
- Lower Energy Bills with High Efficiency Models: Newer furnaces are significantly more efficient, using less fuel to generate heat, which translates to lower energy bills and reduced environmental impact.
- Consistent, Reliable Home Comfort: Modern furnaces provide more even heat distribution and better temperature control throughout your home.
- Increase Your Home’s Resale Value: A modern, energy-efficient furnace is an attractive feature for prospective homebuyers.
- Fewer Breakdowns & Future Repair Costs: Investing in a new, reliable furnace reduces the likelihood of inconvenient breakdowns and ongoing repair expenses.
- Enhanced Safety Features for Peace of Mind: New furnaces incorporate improved safety controls, reducing risks associated with older systems like carbon monoxide leaks.
Choosing the Right Furnace for Your Home
Selecting the right furnace ensures optimal heating performance and value. We help you consider these key factors:
- Size of the Furnace: Correct sizing (capacity) is crucial. An oversized furnace cycles too often, reducing efficiency and lifespan, while an undersized one struggles to heat your home adequately. We perform calculations to ensure the perfect fit.
- Type of Furnace: Options include natural gas, propane, electric, or oil furnaces. The best choice depends on fuel availability and cost in your area, installation requirements, and your preferences.
- Energy Efficiency Ratings: Furnaces are rated by their Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE). A higher AFUE rating means more of your fuel dollar converts directly into heat for your home. We recommend high-efficiency furnace installation with an AFUE of 90% or higher for maximum energy savings.
- Your Budget: We offer quality furnace options across various price points and can help you find a solution that meets both your heating needs and financial considerations, including potential rebates.

- Safe Removal (If Applicable): Careful decommissioning, disconnection, and removal of your old furnace according to safety protocols.

FAQs
Most standard furnace installations can be completed within a single day (typically 4-8 hours). We aim to minimize disruption and will provide a specific time estimate during your consultation.
Not always. During our home assessment, we inspect your existing ductwork's condition and size. If it's in good shape and properly sized for the new furnace, replacement isn't necessary. If issues are found, we'll discuss options with you.
The main factors include the type and efficiency (AFUE rating) of the furnace chosen, the complexity of the installation (e.g., venting modifications, accessibility), and whether any ductwork adjustments are needed.
To ensure optimal performance, safety, and longevity, annual professional maintenance is highly recommended. This includes inspection, cleaning, and tuning. Homeowners should also regularly replace or clean the furnace filter (typically every 1-3 months).
