FAQs
What heating, cooling, and ventilation installation services do you offer in Duff?
We design and install complete HVAC systems for new builds, retrofits, and expansions. Our services include high-efficiency gas furnaces, electric heat pumps, central air conditioners, ductless mini-splits, energy-recovery ventilators (ERVs), heat-recovery ventilators (HRVs), and whole-home dehumidifiers and humidifiers. We also provide custom sheet-metal ductwork fabrication, smart thermostat setup, and post-installation balancing to ensure every room in your Duff property receives the correct airflow.
How do I know what size heating or cooling equipment my Duff home needs?
Proper sizing is critical: oversized equipment short-cycles and wastes energy, while undersized units struggle to maintain comfort. We perform a Manual J load calculation that factors in square footage, insulation levels, window type, orientation, air infiltration, and occupancy. We then recommend equipment with the right capacity (BTUs or tons) and efficiency (AFUE, SEER2, HSPF2) to match your home’s unique heat-gain and heat-loss profile.
What ventilation upgrades can improve my indoor air quality?
We offer balanced ventilation systems such as HRVs and ERVs that exchange stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air while recovering up to 90% of the heating or cooling energy. For spot ventilation, we install ENERGY STAR® kitchen range hoods, bathroom exhaust fans, and garage ventilation systems. We can also integrate MERV-13 to HEPA filtration, UV-C air purification, and activated-carbon filters into your central HVAC to capture particulates, allergens, VOCs, and odors.
How often should I replace filters and have my ducts cleaned?
Most standard 1-inch pleated filters should be replaced every 60–90 days, while 4- to 5-inch media filters can last 6–12 months. Homes with pets, smokers, or allergy sufferers may need more frequent changes. We recommend professional duct cleaning every 3–5 years, or sooner if you notice visible dust buildup, musty odors, or recent construction dust. Regular maintenance preserves system efficiency, prevents airflow restrictions, and protects indoor air quality.
Are there energy-efficient HVAC options that qualify for rebates in Duff?
Yes. High-efficiency furnaces (97%+ AFUE), air conditioners (16+ SEER2), and cold-climate heat pumps (HSPF2 ≥8.5) often qualify for provincial and utility rebates. Our team stays current with Enbridge Gas, Hydro One, and federal Greener Homes incentives. We’ll help you choose qualifying equipment, file all paperwork, and provide documentation such as AHRI certificates to maximize your rebates and tax credits.
What should I expect during a professional HVAC installation and how long will it take?
Most straight furnace or A/C replacements take 4–8 hours, while full system installs with new ductwork or ERV integration can take 1–3 days. We begin with a pre-installation walkthrough, protect flooring with drop cloths, and isolate work areas to minimize dust. Old equipment is safely removed and recycled. After setting the new unit, we connect gas/electrical lines, charge refrigerant, seal ducts, and perform start-up tests and airflow balancing. Before leaving, we review thermostat operation, maintenance tips, and warranty registration. Your home will be left clean and comfort-ready.
