Feeling good at home, being sheltered from bad weather, enjoying modern comforts, these are simple and essential conditions in everyone’s life. Heating plays a key role in the quality of life of Quebecers and there is a variety of heating options to consider. Yet most homes are still heated by furnaces, which is the cheapest solution
The electric furnace, in short
The electric furnace is a device that uses electrical resistance to heat the air, which is then distributed throughout the house by a fan and a ventilation duct system.
This system is becoming more and more popular as an alternative to oil heating systems, because it is cleaner, quieter, non-polluting and less expensive than gas furnaces. What’s more, installation is quick and easy if the house already has ventilation ducts.
How to choose the right electric furnace for your home
First, contact one of our heating specialists to get an assessment for your home (old heating system, type of house, insulation). This is important in evaluating whether special work is required before installation and in choosing the most suitable type of electric furnace.
Then, choose the type of electric furnace that has an electronic motor, which allows the automatic adjustment of the speed of the blower, ensuring a more uniform air circulation, greater efficiency and, as an added value, better air quality.
Another very important point is the manufacturer’s warranty and after-sales service. Make sure to get viable long term solutions. Usually, furnaces have a 10 year warranty.
Finally, with all the previous conditions in mind, consider the price-performance ratio as well as other aspects like aesthetics and ease of use.
