Furnace Installation in Windsor

Furnace Installation for Windsor homes

Windsor's homes range from early-1900s brick houses with radiators in Walkerville and the older core to post-war bungalows and newer subdivisions in the east and south ends. In older Windsor homes, a furnace replacement often means dealing with what came before it: a masonry chimney that the old mid-efficiency furnace vented into, return air drawn from a single floor grille, or ductwork converted from an old gravity system. We plan the new venting route and look at the returns before quoting, so the new furnace isn't fighting a duct system built for something else.

What's included

High-efficiency gas furnace replacement, sized to your home and installed with the venting, gas line and ductwork checked. Depending on your home and equipment, the work can include:

• Sizing, not guessing
• Venting
• Gas and electrical
• Condensate
• Return and supply
• Start-up and combustion check
• Home visit.
• Written quote.
• Install day.
• Walk-through.

Local conditions in Windsor

Windsor's older homes include more hot water and converted gravity heating systems than anywhere else in the region, alongside post-war bungalows with forced air. Venting is a common issue: when a furnace moves to PVC venting, an old masonry chimney may be left serving only the water heater, which we plan for in the quote.

Questions to ask before you hire

Whoever you hire for furnace installation in Windsor, get clear answers to these before signing:

• How did you size the furnace for my house, not just the old one?
• Are your gas technicians licensed, and is the company TSSA-registered?
• What changes are needed to the venting, chimney or gas line?
• Will you check the return air and duct connections?
• What do the manufacturer and installer warranties cover, and who registers them?

Permits and licensing

Building permits in Windsor are issued by the City of Windsor's Building Services department. Some HVAC work, such as new ductwork in renovations or changes that affect the building structure, may need a permit, while gas appliance installations must be done by a TSSA-registered contractor and electrical work by a licensed electrical contractor. We confirm what applies to your project during planning.
