A furnace is the heart of your home’s heating system. It’s designed to keep your house warm and comfortable during the cold months by generating and distributing heated air through ducts and vents. Furnaces are one of the most common heating systems in Canadian homes, especially in colder climates like Vancouver.
When your home’s temperature drops below the thermostat setting, the furnace is triggered to turn on.
• In a gas furnace, natural gas or propane is delivered to the burners and ignited (usually by electronic ignition rather than a standing pilot light)
• In an electric furnace, heating elements warm up instead of burners
As the burners (or elements) produce heat, it passes through the heat exchanger. This component warms the air without allowing combustion gases to mix with it, ensuring safe, clean air.
The blower fan pushes household air across the hot heat exchanger. This warms the air, which is then delivered through ductwork and vents into each room.
Combustion gases are safely vented outside through a flue or vent pipe.
Once the thermostat senses that the home has reached the desired temperature, the furnace shuts off until heat is needed again.
Most common, efficient, and cost-effective in areas with natural gas service.
Use heating coils; typically less efficient but good in regions without natural gas.
Less common, use oil as fuel; often seen in older homes.
A furnace is reliable when maintained, but like any appliance, it can run into problems. Here are some common issues and quick checks homeowners can do before calling for service.
