Read MoreYes! If you’re a ProComfort Dual or ProHeating Member, you can upgrade your plan with our Air Filter Delivery Add-On—designed to make clean air easy and automatic.
Here’s how it works:
You choose your filter size (we offer a variety to match your system)
We deliver a full case of filters right to your door
You set the delivery schedule based on your home’s needs—every few months, seasonally, or just once a year
Whether you’re dealing with allergies, pets, or just want to keep your system running efficiently, this add-on takes the guesswork out of remembering when to replace your filter. It’s one less thing on your list—and one more way we keep your home comfortable, year-round.
In the Edmonton area, you should typically change your furnace filter every 1 to 3 months—but it depends on your home and lifestyle:
Every 1 month if you have multiple pets, allergies, or live in a dusty area
Every 2 months for average homes with one pet or light allergies
Every 3 months in smaller homes with no pets and minimal dust
More often during heavy-use seasons, like winter (heating) and summer (if you use central AC)
Filter size and quality also play a role—smaller or lower-MERV filters usually need changing more frequently.
If you’re tired of remembering when to replace them, our ProComfort Dual and ProHeating Memberships offer an Air Filter Delivery Add-On. We’ll deliver the right filters to your door on schedule—so your home stays clean, your air stays fresh, and your HVAC system runs at its best without any guesswork.
Wondering how to check the humidity level in your Edmonton home? Good news – it’s simple to do! You’ll just need one of two things:
If you want to check the humidity level in your home by hand, you’ll need a tool called a hygrometer. This tool can be purchased at your local hardware store for about $10 to $20.
To use a hygrometer to check the humidity in your home, simply place it in the room you want to check. It’s important to note that humidity levels won’t be consistent throughout your home – some rooms may have more or less humidity than others. Therefore, placing the hygrometer in a room you are concerned about or where your family spends most of their time is best. Also, ensure you don’t put your hygrometer near a heat source. For example, a radiator, heat register, chimney, etc.
Once the hygrometer is placed, wait up to two hours (it can take a couple of hours for the tool to get an accurate and stable reading).
If you have a humidifier in your home, it will have a built-in hygrometer. Therefore, you won’t need to buy a handheld tool. Instead, this internal hygrometer will automatically monitor and adjust the humidity level in your home, keeping your Edmonton home comfortable all year round.
Air circulation issues in your home? If you are experiencing this, check the vents in those warmer rooms. Vents bringing hot or cool air into the house winter/summer accumulate dust, pet dander, whatever, and should be vacuumed on a regular basis to ensure good air flow. At the same time make sure that your return air vents are not blocked by furniture or other items pushed up against them.
If humidity is too low in your house, this can lead to many different issues. Some of the most common problems created by low humidity in Edmonton homes include:
In addition to these physical effects, low humidity can damage hardwood flooring, wood furniture, paint, and wallpaper (causing it to crack/peel). Low humidity also makes it more challenging to maintain proper air temperature. Dry air is more difficult to heat. Therefore, your furnace will be forced to work harder to keep your home warm. As a result, you’ll have higher heating bills, and your furnace may experience more frequent repairs and a shorter lifespan

Want to know how much it will cost to install an HRV in your home? Call ProSolutions Inc. for a free, personalized estimate.
A heat recovery ventilator (HRV) is worth installing in Spruce Grove - especially in a new home. In fact, the Alberta Building Code requires all new homes to have a ventilation system installed. HRV systems are extremely beneficial (and often required) because they help keep homes safe, healthy and energy efficient.
That said, not all homes will benefit from an HRV. Older homes, in particular, may not see as many benefits because they are not as air-tight as newer homes. For instance, the energy savings from an HRV will be limited in older homes.
Installing an HRV in a new, tightly sealed home will have the following benefits.
If you are building a new home, installing a whole-home heat recovery ventilator is one of the best investments you can make.
