Can my 1-pipe setup become 2-pipe?

Usually—high-efficiency furnaces often use dedicated intake and exhaust. We confirm routing and clearances on site.

What maintenance keeps efficiency high?

Annual tune-up, timely filter changes, and keeping vent terminations free of snow/debris.

Do you offer financing?

Yes—ask for current terms; monthly options can be shown with your quote.

Furnace Installation Ajax | Local, Licensed Furnace Installers

Q: How fast can you install in Ajax?

Often within 24–48 hours in season; most replacements finish same day.

Q: Do you handle permits and inspections?

Yes—we follow manufacturer specifications and Ontario code and guide you when permits or inspections apply.

Q: Will a higher MERV filter restrict airflow?

Possibly. We measure external static pressure and choose a filter strategy that preserves airflow and efficiency.

Transparent Pricing Factors (No Guesswork)

Every home is different. Your furnace installation Ajax quote reflects:

System style (two-stage vs. modulating) and brand tier

Venting route, gas line upgrades, transitions/plenum work

Duct condition, return air, and balancing needs

Add-ons (humidifier, filtration, HRV/ERV, smart thermostat)

Site specifics (access, headroom, drain options)

We show a good / better / best breakdown with total installed price and optional monthly payments.

Example Scenario (Common in Ajax)

A three-level townhome near Kingston Rd runs hot upstairs and chilly on the main floor. We:

Right-size the new furnace (Manual-J),

Add a proper return on the main,

Install a two-stage, variable-speed unit,

Set fan profiles to slow/quiet circulation.
Result: Even temps, fewer starts/stops, and noticeably lower noise.

What You Can Expect on Install Day

8:00–9:00 AM — Arrival & Protection
Floor runners down, job brief, safety checks, utilities off.

Morning — Removal & Prep
Old furnace out, venting/gas/electrical reviewed; plenum/transition fabricated if needed.

Midday — Set, Pipe, Wire
New furnace placed, gas line verified, intake/exhaust routed, condensate trapped & pumped to an approved drain.

Afternoon — Commissioning
Temperature-rise, airflow/ESP, gas pressure, ignition/safety controls, and CO checks. Smart thermostat setup if included.

Wrap-Up — Walkthrough
Filter sizes, maintenance intervals, warranty registration, and TLC tips. Clean site—like we were never there.

General Questions
Mechanical Questions

How fast can you install in Ajax?

In many cases within 24–48 hours (season-dependent). Most swaps complete the same day.

Do you handle permits and inspections?

Yes—we follow manufacturer specs and Ontario code and guide you where permits/inspections apply.

Can my old 1-pipe setup become 2-pipe?

Often. High-efficiency furnaces typically use dedicated intake and exhaust; we evaluate vent routing and clearances on site.

Will a higher MERV filter restrict airflow?

It can. We measure external static pressure and choose a filter strategy that protects airflow—and your heat exchanger.

How do you size the right furnace (BTU) for a GTA home?

We don’t use “BTU per sq. ft.” rules of thumb. We perform a Manual-J heat-loss calculation that factors insulation levels, window/door U-values, air leakage, exposures, and duct design. Proper sizing prevents short-cycling, improves comfort, and protects the heat exchanger. For furnace installation Greater Toronto and furnace installation Toronto, we also confirm duct capacity so airflow (CFM) matches the selected furnace/coil.

What is external static pressure (ESP) and why does it matter?

ESP is the resistance your blower must push air against (measured in inches w.c.). High ESP from restrictive filters, undersized ducts, or a dirty coil reduces airflow, raises noise, and can overheat the heat exchanger. On install day we measure ESP with a manometer, target manufacturer-specified ranges, and correct issues (filter media, transitions, duct mods) to restore designed CFM.

Do high-efficiency (condensing) furnaces need new venting or drains?

Usually yes. 90%+ AFUE condensing furnaces use PVC/CPVC/PP venting with a dedicated combustion air intake. The condensate must be trapped and drained to an approved location (often with a condensate pump) and, where required, passed through a neutralizer before discharge. Vent terminations must meet clearance rules and be pitched correctly to prevent freezing and backflow.

What commissioning tests should be done after installation?

A proper startup includes: temperature-rise verification, gas manifold pressure set-up, combustion analysis/CO check, ESP/airflow measurements, safety controls test (limit, pressure switch), flame sensor microamp check, thermostat calibration, and a written commissioning report. We perform and document all of the above on every furnace installation Toronto & GTA project.
