Home heating done right!
Your furnace is an essential part of your home's comfort — not just for keeping you warm in the winter, but for directing airflow in the summer as well!
When winter temperatures in Edmonton drop well below freezing, your furnace isn’t optional — it’s essential.
A furnace is the primary heating system in most Alberta homes. It uses natural gas or electricity to generate heat and distribute it through ductwork, keeping your home warm, safe, and comfortable throughout the long heating season.
With Edmonton’s extended winters and sudden cold snaps, having a properly sized, high-efficiency furnace isn’t just about comfort — it’s about protecting your home, your plumbing, and your family.
Modern furnaces can achieve efficiency ratings of 95% to 98% AFUE, meaning more of your fuel becomes usable heat.
Furnace frustrations can happen if your furnace is older, inefficient, or frequently breaking down. When you upgrade to a new, high-efficiency model, you may notice a drastic increase in improved comfort AND lower energy bills.
Because of Edmonton's extreme winters, a furnace problem on the coldest days can be a true nightmare. That's why we provide FREE in-home estimates to help you make the important decision when you're ready to upgrade, replace, or install a new furnace.

Being without heat at the worst possible time--like during cold snap when the system is working hardest--is never a fun time. That's why annual furnace maintenance is one of the most important services Edmonton homeowners can schedule.
Because furnaces run for months at a time, minor issues can quickly become major failures without routine, preventative care. The result? Failure during the coldest days!
Fall is the ideal time for furnace servicing before peak heating season begins, but getting a furnace tune-up is better than not getting one at all when it comes to preventative maintenance. Call ProSolutions to keep your home comfortable all year long!
A furnace installation isn’t just about swapping equipment — it’s about designing a heating system that performs properly in one of Canada’s coldest major cities.
Boilers and furnaces both provide heat to Edmonton homes, but the difference is in how they provide that heat. A boiler heats water and circulates it (or steam, in some cases) throughout your house, warming your home through radiators or radiant floor systems.
A furnace heats air and that warmth throughout your home through ducting and vents.
Typically, a furnace is installed in less than 8 hours. However, this time can vary based on factors such as the type of furnace, location of furnace installation, age and condition of your current system, and more.

A modern, high-efficiency furnace can last 15-20 years if it was properly installed and regularly serviced. The key to extending your furnace's lifespan is ensuring regular maintenance, including ensuring prompt repairs when needed. If your furnace has been working hard for over 15 years and is showing signs of needing repairs more frequently, it may be time to consider a new furnace.
Furnaces can stop working for many reasons—some simple, some more serious. If you're comfortable with looking for some common causes, you can check things such as your air filter to see if it needs replacement (dirty or clogged filters can restrict airflow), whether your thermostat is out of batteries, and whether the breaker has been tripped. Issues which should be checked by a professional right away include burning or chemical smells, strange sounds (banging, rattling, loud noises), and if your furnace won't turn on at all.
If you're ever unsure or uncomfortable with checking anything yourself, give us a call! ProSolutions is happy to help, especially because we are local and understand just how uncomfortable—and even dangerous—a broken furnace can be.
SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio, and the higher the SEER rating, the more efficient an air conditioner is at cooling your home. If you see SEER2, that is the updated version of SEER.

In Alberta, only licensed HVAC technicians with the proper permits can install gas furnaces. This is because furnace installation involves natural gas and electrical work, both of which must meet strict Alberta Safety Codes standards. In fact, even if you're replacing an electric furnace, DIY installations can lead to costly problems down the line, including poor airflow, reduced efficiency, and premature breakdowns. A professional furnace installation with ProSolutions is simple, easy, and efficient—and ensures your safety.
The most common types of furnaces include natural gas, oil, propane, and electricity. Gas furnaces are the most popular choice for Edmonton homeowners, but the most popular option may not always be the best option for you. To learn more about your best options, book a free in-home estimate with ProSolutions! Our professionals will assess your household needs, your budget, and help you decide on the best type of heating for you.
Furnace filters should be changed according to the manufacturer's recommendations (typically every 1-3 months) or according to your home and lifestyle. For example, if you have pets, allergies, asthma, or very dusty conditions, you will want to consider changing your filter more often.
Pro Tip: Our ProComfort Dual and ProHeating Memberships include the option for an Air Filter Delivery Add-On—we’ll send the right filter to your door on schedule so you never forget, and your HVAC system stays efficient year-round.
