Your furnace is an essential part of your home's comfort ā 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 isnāt optional ā itās 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 Edmontonās extended winters and sudden cold snaps, having a properly sized, high-efficiency furnace isnāt just about comfort ā itās 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 Ā 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!

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.

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 efficientāand ensures your safety.
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.

Yes, furnace filters should be changed even in the summer! While your furnace might not be heating, your HVAC system's blower and ductwork are still in use when running your central AC, which means your furnace filter is still in use. Continue following the manufacturer's recommendations for changing your filter (typically every 1-3 months) or depending on your family and household sensitivities.
Pro Tip: Our ProComfort Dual and ProHeating Memberships include an Air Filter Delivery Add-Onāweāll send the right filter to your door on schedule so you never forget, and your HVAC system stays efficient year-round.
Furnaces can stop working for many reasonsāsome 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 uncomfortableāand even dangerousāa broken furnace can be.
