Your Trusted Furnace Installation Team In Calgary, Edmonton & Red Deer

High-efficiency furnaces save energy by operating with less heat waste than conventional furnaces. New heating technology and components make this possible. Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) measures how much heat a furnace can create from the fuel being consumed.

High-efficiency furnaces have an AFUE of at least 90% and sometimes as high as 98.5%!

Traditional furnaces can have an AFUE rating as low as 80%. Because of this difference in fuel-burning efficiency, a new high-efficiency furnace can save you over 12% on your energy bill!

No two installations are exactly the same. Several factors impact the timeline of a heating system
install. These factors include:

• The type of equipment being installed.
  The quality of existing ductwork in your home and whether or not we are adding
  ductwork.
• The space we are working in to install your furnace. Cramped spaces can increase
  installation time.
• Ease of access to installation areas.

Action Furnace Comfort Advisors do their absolute best to give you an accurate quote on expected installation timelines. That said, many furnace installs can be completed within one day. But we’ll always communicate expectations before your purchase.

The lifetime of any HVAC equipment is influenced by maintenance habits and the demands on the system. With annual tune-ups and proper care, new furnaces can last up to 15 years or more.

Action Furnace offers a 12-Year Parts & Labor Guarantee on signature heating systems we install. When you upgrade your furnace, you’ll enjoy the peace of mind that your equipment is covered.

The price of a new heating system will vary depending on your heating requirements. The
following factors influence installation price:

• The heating capacity of your equipment (size).
• The make and model of your furnace.
• Whether new ductwork needs to be installed.

The features and ratings of your equipment.
When calculating the costs of a furnace replacement, consider the monthly energy cost savings
that a modern furnace can provide. Our Comfort Advisors will also keep you informed of any
rebate programs available in your region.

You may need a new furnace if your current furnace is:

• Over 12 – 15 years old
• Frequently needing repairs
• Not keeping your home warm enough
• Increasing your energy bills

The most common types of furnaces are:

• Gas: natural gas furnaces are the most commonly used in Canada, and provide cost-effective heating for most homes.
  
• Electric: furnaces that use electricity allow you to avoid fuel costs and produce fewer emissions.
  
• Oil: oil-based furnaces are ideal for rural properties not located near natural gas lines.
  

The best option for you will depend on your specific needs and budget. Contact Action Furnace for a recommendation that fits your needs and home.

The size of furnace you need will depend on:

• The size of your home
• The insulation level of your home
• Your climate (Alberta’s cold winters often require more powerful furnaces)
  

Our professional HVAC Comfort Advisors can help you determine the correct size of furnace for your home and your individual comfort needs. Contact Action Furnace to learn more!

Trying to install your own furnace is not recommended, as it requires specialized tools and knowledge. Any work performed on a furnace by someone other than a licensed contractor can also prematurely void your equipment’s warranty, so it is always best to hire our professional HVAC technicians for installation.

Probably! A new furnace can improve your home’s energy efficiency and lower your energy bills if it is the right size and is properly installed.

Our exclusive line of heating systems come with a 12 year warranty that covers both parts and labour. We make it easy for you to enjoy total peace of mind when heating your home.

Furnace efficiency is measured by its annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE) rating. The higher the AFUE rating, the more efficient the furnace is. Common AFUE ratings include: 

• AFUE 80
  
• AFUE 95 
• AFUE 96
• AFUE 97

The number in a given AFUE rating represents the percentage of energy converted into usable heat for your home, while the remainder represents the amount lost through chimneys and other ventilation systems. For example, an AFUE of 90 would mean that 90% of the furnace’s energy is converted into heat while 10% is lost.

Working on any HVAC equipment in Alberta—including furnaces—requires a heating and ventilation permit under the Safety Codes Permit Bylaw. A gas permit may also be required under Alberta’s Safety Codes Act. Entrusting Action Furnace to perform your installation is the easiest way to make sure all required permits and documents are secured before work begins.
