FAQs
What HVAC services do you provide in Elora?
We offer complete heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning solutions for homes and light-commercial spaces in Elora and the surrounding Wellington County area. Our services include new furnace and air-conditioner installation, heat pumps, ductless mini-splits, hydronic boilers, annual maintenance, 24/7 repairs, ductwork design, thermostat upgrades, and indoor air-quality products such as humidifiers, HRVs and UV air purifiers.
How often should my furnace and air conditioner be serviced?
For reliable performance and to keep manufacturer warranties valid, we recommend professional maintenance twice a year: a furnace tune-up in early fall and an air-conditioner or heat-pump tune-up in spring. During each visit we clean burners and coils, inspect safety controls, tighten electrical connections, lubricate moving parts, test refrigerant charge, and confirm that carbon-monoxide levels and system airflow are within safe limits. Regular service improves efficiency, extends equipment life, and reduces the chance of emergency breakdowns during Elora’s hot summers or cold winters.
What size HVAC system do I need for my Elora home?
Proper sizing depends on more than square footage. We perform a CSA-F280 or ACCA Manual J heat-loss/heat-gain calculation that considers insulation levels, window type, sun exposure, ceiling height, air infiltration and local Elora design temperatures (-23 °C winter, 30 °C summer). An accurately sized unit runs longer, cycles less, controls humidity better and saves energy. Oversized equipment costs more upfront and can cause temperature swings; undersized systems struggle to keep up on extreme days. Our comfort advisors provide a free in-home assessment and written load report before any installation.
Are there energy-efficiency rebates available in Elora or Ontario?
Yes. Through the Enbridge Gas Home Efficiency Rebate Plus (HER+) program, qualifying Elora homeowners can receive up to $7,100 toward high-efficiency natural-gas furnaces, air-source heat pumps and insulation upgrades after an energy audit. The Canada Greener Homes Loan can add an interest-free loan up to $40,000 for eligible projects. We handle the paperwork, schedule the audits, and ensure your new equipment meets the required efficiency ratings (e.g., 97% AFUE furnaces, ENERGY STAR cold-climate heat pumps). Ask us for the latest incentive details before you buy.
Do you offer emergency HVAC repair services?
Absolutely. Our certified technicians are on call 24/7, 365 days a year, including holidays and weekends. We keep common furnace, A/C and heat-pump parts in our service vans to resolve most no-heat or no-cool situations on the first visit. If a major component must be ordered, we provide temporary heaters or portable A/C units at no charge to keep your family comfortable while we complete the repair.
How can I improve the indoor air quality in my Elora home?
Elora’s cold winters mean homes often stay closed up, trapping allergens and contaminants. We recommend a multi-layer approach: (1) Source control—regularly change high-MERV furnace filters and keep humidity between 35-50%. (2) Mechanical ventilation—install a heat-recovery or energy-recovery ventilator (HRV/ERV) to bring in fresh air with minimal heat loss. (3) Air purification—add a whole-home media filter, UV germicidal lamp or electronic air cleaner to capture fine particulates, bacteria and viruses. During a free IAQ assessment we measure CO₂, humidity and particulate counts, then suggest solutions tailored to your home and budget.
