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

How a Furnace Works

1. Thermostat Signals Heat

When your home’s temperature drops below the thermostat setting, the furnace is triggered to turn on.

2. Ignition & Burner Activation

• 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

3. Heat Exchanger

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.

4. Air Circulation

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.

5. Exhaust

Combustion gases are safely vented outside through a flue or vent pipe.

6. System Cycles Off

Once the thermostat senses that the home has reached the desired temperature, the furnace shuts off until heat is needed again.

Types of Furnaces

Gas Furnaces

Most common, efficient, and cost-effective in areas with natural gas service.

Electric Furnaces

Use heating coils; typically less efficient but good in regions without natural gas.

Oil Furnaces

Less common, use oil as fuel; often seen in older homes.
