Benifits of Electrostatic Furnace Filters
When you are shopping for a new furnace in the Ottawa area, it is important to know that not all installations are the same. People regularly hear about issues from customers who have switched to our company due to poor installations with other dealers. The article below lists just a few of the criteria that a professional installer inspects when completing a new furnace installation to ensure that you get the most out of your heating system.
Proper Sizing of Furnace
One of the major factors when choosing a furnace is it’s adequate in size to accomodate your domestic. Although a common belief is that a larger furnace will provide higher comfort and effectiveness, this is in fact incorrect. A furnace that is too large can lead to your furnace frequently cycling on and off of. This has the potential to reduce everything of your heater, and even add stress to the comfort system.
To ensure proper furnace sizing, we calculates the heating and cooling load. This heat loss and gain calculation we can recommend the right equipment for your convenience system.
Correctly Sealed Ducts
It is important to look at your heating system as a whole – not only the furnace. Ducts can leak air leading to areas of your home being heated or cooled that you may well not want. A common example of this is a hot basement and a cold upstairs in the winter. People test the leakage rate of your heating and cooling system to determine if duct sealant, video tape sealant, and aerosol sealant is called for.
Increasing Air flow Efficiency
A great way to reduce your utility bill may be to optimize the air flow in your system. Too much to too little air will result in higher heating and cooling costs. This can be done on a new or an old system through the expert installers, and regularly pays for itself.

1. Used foot covers as to not track dirt into your residence
2. Left adequate room around your furnace or equipment so that it may be serviced easily
3. Given you an example of how to change your filter
several. Reviewed your current thermostat and shown you how to work with it correctly
