When to replace
Frequent repairs, cracked heat exchangers, rising gas bills, uneven heat and furnaces past 15 to 20 years old are common reasons. Replacing in summer or fall, before it fails, avoids an emergency in January.
High-efficiency furnaces
Most new gas furnaces are high-efficiency condensing models that vent through plastic pipes and drain condensate. Older homes switching from a chimney-vented furnace need new venting and a drain.
Sizing
An oversized furnace short-cycles and heats unevenly. A heat-loss calculation based on insulation, windows and air leakage sizes it properly.
Variable-speed blowers
Variable-speed blowers run quieter and longer at low speed, which evens out temperatures and works better with an HRV and air conditioning.
Pairing with a heat pump
A hybrid system pairs a gas furnace with a heat pump. The heat pump handles mild days and summer cooling; the furnace takes over in deep cold. See cold-climate heat pumps.
Permits and gas work
In Winnipeg, mechanical permits are taken out by a licensed mechanical contractor, and gas connections must be made by a licensed gas fitter.
Rebates
Efficiency Manitoba sometimes offers rebates or financing for high-efficiency equipment. Check what's current before buying.
Get quotes
Ask for the model, efficiency, warranty, venting plan and what's included. Send a request and an HVAC technician will get in touch.
Removing the old furnace
Ask whether removal and disposal of the old furnace are included.
Old chimneys
When a new high-efficiency furnace no longer uses the chimney, a water heater left alone in the old chimney may need a liner or new venting. Ask about it.
