How often should I replace or clean my HVAC air filter?
In most Elora homes a standard 1-inch pleated filter should be inspected monthly and replaced every 60–90 days. If you have pets, suffer from allergies, run the fan continuously or are renovating, replacement every 30 days is better. Media filters (4–5-inch) can last 6–12 months, while electronic or HEPA cartridges vary by brand. A clean filter protects the blower motor, keeps coils from clogging, lowers energy use by up to 15 % and improves indoor air quality.
Why is indoor air quality so important and how can you help improve it?
Health Canada estimates Canadians spend 90 % of their time indoors, and tightly built homes in Elora can trap pollutants such as pollen, dust, pet dander, VOCs and airborne viruses. Poor IAQ contributes to allergies, asthma, fatigue and higher absenteeism. We begin with an on-site air audit, then can recommend solutions like HRV or ERV balanced ventilation, MERV-13 or HEPA filtration, UV-C sterilization for coils and air streams, controlled humidity (30-50 %), and source control through sealed combustion appliances. All products meet CSA and ENERGY STAR® standards.
What are the signs my furnace, AC or heat pump needs service?
Call us if you notice: • Uneven temperatures or weak airflow • Unusual noises (grinding, banging, squealing) • Short-cycling or a system that runs non-stop • Rising energy bills with no change in usage • Musty or burning odours • Ice on refrigerant lines or water around the furnace • Error codes or a yellow burner flame. Addressing these issues early can prevent breakdowns, protect warranties and extend equipment life by 5–8 years.
Can you install smart or programmable thermostats, and what are the benefits?
Yes—we are certified installers for ecobee, Nest, Honeywell and Emerson smart thermostats. These devices automatically learn your schedule, provide remote control via smartphone, adjust humidity and ventilation settings, and send maintenance alerts. When properly set, they can reduce heating and cooling costs by 10–20 % annually in Elora’s climate. Many models also integrate with HRV/ERV equipment and local utility demand-response programs.
Are there energy rebates or incentives available for upgrading my HVAC system in Elora?
Absolutely. Through the Canada Greener Homes Grant, homeowners can receive up to $5,000 toward qualifying high-efficiency heat pumps, HRVs and smart controls, plus up to $600 for pre- and post-retrofit energy audits. Enbridge Gas offers additional rebates for ENERGY STAR® natural-gas furnaces (AFUE ≥97 %) and air sealing measures. We guide you through the paperwork, perform the required load calculations, and submit efficiency test data so you get every dollar you’re entitled to.
