FAQs
How do I know if I should replace my HVAC unit rather than repair it?
Age and performance are the two biggest indicators. Most furnaces and air conditioners are designed to last 12–15 years; heat pumps about 10–12. If your unit is approaching that range, needs frequent repairs, or suffers from declining efficiency (rising utility bills, uneven temperatures, excess noise), replacement is usually more cost-effective than another repair. Our technicians can perform a full system assessment in Elora to calculate remaining service life, repair costs, and projected energy savings from a new system so you can make an informed decision.
What size and type of HVAC system is best for homes in Elora’s climate?
Elora experiences humid summers and cold winters, so proper sizing and equipment selection are critical. We perform a Manual J load calculation that factors in square footage, insulation levels, window orientation, air leakage, and lifestyle habits. For many homes, a high-efficiency two-stage gas furnace paired with a 16–18 SEER air conditioner or cold-climate heat pump provides the best year-round comfort. For homes without natural gas, we often recommend an air-source heat pump with an electric or propane back-up. Oversized systems short-cycle and waste energy, while undersized systems struggle in January and July—so professional sizing is essential.
How long does a typical HVAC replacement take and will my home be without heat or cooling?
Most standard furnace or central AC replacements are completed in one day—typically 6–8 hours. A full dual-fuel or heat-pump conversion can take 1½–2 days if new refrigerant lines, electrical circuits, or duct modifications are required. We schedule installation so your old equipment stays online until the new system is ready to be commissioned, minimizing downtime to just a few hours. Before leaving, we test-run the system, balance airflow, and show you how to use the new thermostat.
Are there energy rebates or incentives available in Elora and Ontario for upgrading to a high-efficiency system?
Yes. Homeowners can currently access: • Canada Greener Homes Grant – up to $5,000 for eligible heat pumps and efficiency upgrades. • Enbridge Home Efficiency Rebate Plus (HER+) – combined grants up to $10,000 for qualifying natural-gas customers installing ENERGY STAR® equipment. • Interest-free Greener Homes Loans up to $40,000 over 10 years. We handle all paperwork, arrange the required energy audits with a certified advisor, and ensure your new system meets SEER2/HSPF and AFUE efficiency thresholds so you receive the maximum rebate.
What is the average cost of replacing an HVAC unit in Elora and what factors affect the price?
In 2024, a straightforward 60,000 BTU high-efficiency furnace replacement generally ranges from $4,500–$6,500 installed. Adding a matching 2-ton air conditioner brings the package to $9,000–$12,000 before rebates. Cold-climate heat pumps start around $10,000 and can exceed $18,000 for larger, fully electric systems. Key cost drivers include: equipment efficiency ratings (higher SEER2/AFUE costs more but saves on energy), system size, brand, required ductwork or electrical upgrades, and installation complexity (attic or crawl-space access, condensate pumps, line-set rerouting). We provide a fixed written quote and highlight all available rebates to reduce your out-of-pocket expense.
What warranties and maintenance plans do you offer on new HVAC installations?
All of our featured brands come with a 10-year parts warranty and at least a 1-year labour warranty. We register your equipment with the manufacturer to unlock extended coverage, and we offer optional labour coverage up to 10 years for a small additional fee. Our Comfort Shield maintenance plan includes two seasonal tune-ups per year, priority service, and a 15% discount on any out-of-warranty repairs—helping you keep the new system running efficiently and protecting your investment long-term.
