The Best Heating Services in Greater Montreal

We offer a wide array of furnace options to ensure you stay warm in the winter.

Electric Furnace

An electric furnace works by converting electrical energy into heat.

Electric furnaces are equipped with blower motors and fan coils. Ambient air is drawn into the system and directed towards the fan coil, which heats the air. Once heated, the air is then propelled into the spaces that require heating.

Electric furnaces are controlled by a thermostat. When the thermostat temperature is increased, the coil in the electric furnace heats up, and air is distributed throughout the spaces that require heating until the desired temperature level is met.

Electric furnaces are widely used for domestic and commercial heating due to their efficiency, ease of use, and lower environmental impact compared to heating sources that require the use of fossil fuels.

Natural Gas Furnace

A gas furnace is a central heating device that operates by burning natural gas to produce heat. The basic principle is based on the controlled combustion of gas in a combustion chamber. When gas is ignited, it releases heat and combustion gasses, such as carbon dioxide and water vapor.

This heat is then transferred to a heat exchanger, which heats the air circulating through it, to then distribute it into the ventilation ducts, thereby warming the interior space of a house or building. Combustion gasses are safely discharged outside via a chimney or flue pipe.

Gas furnaces are valued for their energy efficiency and ability to provide consistent heat, making them one of the popular heating options for many building types.

Hot Water Furnace

Also known as an electric water heater or electric boiler, the electric hot water furnace works by converting electrical energy into heat to heat water used in domestic or industrial heating systems.

The basic principle is based on the use of electric heating elements immersed in a water tank. When electricity passes through these elements, they generate heat through the Joule effect, raising the temperature of the surrounding water. The hot water tank retains heat and can later be used for building heating or other applications requiring hot water.

A built-in thermostat controls the water temperature by turning off the power supply when the desired temperature is reached, and reactivating it when the temperature drops below a defined threshold. Electric hot water furnaces are efficient, easy to install and maintain, and provide a constant source of hot water.

Electric Thermal Storage

Electrical thermal storage systems are a type of electric furnace that accumulate and store heat in ceramic bricks. Heat is accumulated in the system at times when electricity rates are lowest, and released when electricity rates are at their highest. This system helps building owners lower their energy bill by capitalizing on low electricity rates.

Electric thermal storage systems are valued by customers for their energy efficiency, environmental friendliness, even heat distribution, and minimal noise.
