Furnace & A/C Combo
Buying a Gas Furnace
When it comes to choosing your new furnace, you're going to see that you have a lot of choices. Every manufacturer has their own lingo and catch phrases they use to market and differentiate themselves from the competition. The problem is that when every brand uses a different name, it's really hard to compare apples to apples.
During our consultation, we'll break down the different types of furnaces into how they function, and what level of comfort they provide. We'll talk about efficiency and what it truly means to have a "high-efficient" furnace... and we'll talk about pricing, how contractors arrive at their pricing, and we'll discuss what features and benefits are important for you and your family.
Selecting Your New Air Conditioner
Like furnaces, there are a lot of air conditioners to choose from. Given rising energy costs, is it in your better interest to get a more efficient air conditioner or will the added cost outweigh the energy cost savings.
We'll discuss the different types of air conditioners, and some will control humidity and temperature better than others. You'll learn how an air conditioner works which will in turn help you to better understand your options. Let's face it, after you buy your next air conditioner, you're not going to buying one for another 20- 25 years. You'll want to make the right choice.
Choosing a Thermostat
There are plenty of thermostats on the market these days. Which one is best for you? Do you even need a new thermostat or will your existing one do? We'll discuss the in's and out's of basic thermostats, smart thermostats, and ultra smart communicating thermostats. We'll even talk about other things that thermostats can do. So whether you're super ultra techy and you love integrating the latest gadgets with your home automation system, or you just want something simple, let us help.
Rebates - Yes Please!
What rebates are available? Federal government, provincial government or manufacturer's rebates. Is my contractor going to jack up the price to cover the rebate? We'll discuss what rebates are available, how rebates and manufacturer incentives work, and how you get your hands on that money!
Single Stage, 2-Stage or Modulating
When it comes to furnaces, air conditioners and heat pumps you're going to be faced with the decision to choose between a single stage, a 2-stage and a modulating system. What is best for you? And what are the differences? Which ones are more efficient?
Warranty
The manufacturer's basic (limited) warranty or the contractor's 10 years parts and 10 years labour warranty. What's the difference? What's covered and what is not covered? And you'll find out the truth... Do I really have to sign up for a maintenance plan? Or am I covered by the manufacturer?
Payment Options
There are plenty of ways to pay for your new system. If you pay it outright do you get a better deal? Should you finance or rent? What happens at the end of the contract? Will I ever own it or do I have to pay for this thing forever?
Protection & Maintenance Plans
What are my options? What are the differences between the plans? What really is covered and what am I still on the hook for? Does my warranty not cover me? Do I actually need more coverage? Let's break it down.
