Benefits of installing a new furnace
If your furnace is more than 15 years old, breaks down a lot or takes too long to heat up your home, it might be time to buy a new model. A modern, energy-efficient furnace provides you and your family with many benefits, including:
Lower heating bills
Today’s furnaces offer improved efficiency compared with older systems, which can help reduce energy use and support more consistent heating performance.
Improved home comfort
New furnaces can provide more even heating throughout your home. Features such as variable-speed blowers and smart thermostat compatibility may help maintain more consistent temperatures and reduce drafts or cold areas. Many newer systems also operate more quietly than older models.

Three types of furnaces
Apart from energy efficiency, one of the most important things to consider in a replacement furnace is the motor that powers the fan. Fans that operate at different speeds help you better manage the heat provided by the furnace — making your home consistently more comfortable.
Single-stage motor
Single-stage fans are common in older furnaces and have just one speed — they’re either on or off. They are no longer available for sale in Canada because they aren’t energy efficient.
Multi-stage motor
Single-stage fans are common in older furnaces and have just one speed — they’re either on or off. They are no longer available for sale in Canada because they aren’t energy efficient.
Variable-stage motor
Variable-stage furnaces have motors that can run at many speeds, adjustable in very small increments. Like a car engine, you can hit every speed from 0 to 100 depending on how fast you want to go, making it easier to precisely match your furnace to your home heating needs.
Frequently asked furnace questions
- The cost of a new furnace depends on several factors, including the equipment selected, the layout of your home, installation requirements, and any additional features or upgrades. An in-home assessment is the best way to receive a quote tailored to your home.
- Furnace lifespan depends on factors such as installation quality, proper sizing, maintenance, and frequency of breakdowns. If your furnace is requiring frequent repairs or no longer heating effectively, it may be time to consider replacement.
- Furnace size depends on several factors, including home size, insulation, airflow, and window and door placement. A professional heat-loss assessment helps ensure the system is properly sized for your home.
- No. Furnaces use gas and electrical systems and should be installed by licensed professionals to help ensure safety, compliance, and proper operation.
- A high-efficiency furnace starts when the thermostat detects a drop in temperature. It performs internal safety checks, generates heat through its combustion and heat exchange system, and then circulates warmed air through your home using ductwork. Combustion gases are safely vented outdoors.
