How can we help?
Several types of furnaces are available:
​
-
Gas furnaces are highly efficient and use natural gas or propane as fuel. Gas furnaces provide consistent heat and are cost-effective.
-
Electric furnaces use electric heating elements to produce warm air. They’re easy to install and typically have a lower upfront cost.
Depending on outdoor temperatures, some homeowners combine a furnace with a heat pump to optimize heating and energy efficiency.
Choosing a furnace over other heating methods has many advantages:
​
-
Consistent heating. Furnaces provide a consistent source of heat throughout your home.
-
Energy efficiency. Modern furnaces consume less energy, which helps reduce heating costs.
-
Versatility. Pairing them with other heating and cooling systems suits them for different climates and home configurations.
-
Quick heating. Furnaces can quickly raise the indoor temperature, making them an ideal choice for cold winters.

How to Maintain a Furnace
To ensure your furnace operates optimally, follow these maintenance tips:
​
-
Check the furnace filter every couple of months — more often if you have pets or smoke indoors — to prevent strain on the system and maintain indoor air quality. Change the filter regularly according to manufacturer guidelines. If the filter looks dirty or greyish, it’s also a good time to switch it for a new one.
-
Change the thermostat batteries every fall to prevent your furnace from shutting down during a cold snap.
-
Schedule annual professional inspections to detect and address potential issues before they become major problems
​
​You can’t always anticipate an issue. Fortunately, Comfort NEXT Heating & Cooling offers 24/7 emergency repairs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Our furnace FAQs address the most asked questions by our customers in Milton, Aurora, Newmarket, and Brantford. We hope you’ll find the answers you’re looking for!
-
How do heat pumps work?Unlike furnaces and boilers, heat pumps don’t create heat; they redistribute it. In heating mode, they extract warmth from the outdoor air or ground and deliver it indoors. In cooling mode, they remove heat from the inside and expel it outdoors, effectively providing both heating and cooling according to your needs.
-
Are heat pumps energy efficient?Heat pumps are highly efficient when it comes to energy usage. They can have efficiencies of well over 100 per cent, and sometimes even up to 300 per cent, as they transfer heat instead of creating it. Additionally, heat pumps produce much fewer greenhouse gas emissions than natural gas furnaces, since electricity is a cleaner fuel source in Ontario.
-
How can I choose the right size heat pump for my home?To determine the appropriate size, it's best to consult an HVAC professional at Comfort NEXT Heating & Cooling. They’ll consider crucial factors such as your home’s size, insulation quality, local climate and heat loss/gain calculations. It's essential to choose the correct size heat pump for your home to ensure comfort and efficiency. Avoid the temptation to oversize your heat pump, as this can lead to reduced efficiency, discomfort and short cycling. On the other hand, an undersized unit won’t adequately cool or heat your space. By getting a professional assessment, you can make sure your heat pump is appropriately sized, optimizing its performance, energy efficiency and overall effectiveness.
-
Are there any energy rebates available for heat pumps installation?The Home Efficiency Rebate Plus (HER+) program provides rebates to qualifying customers for installing a new heat pump. You could get up to $10,000 back for energy upgrades, plus an additional $600 towards the cost of your your EnerGuide home evaluation. Specifics are subject to change, so it’s best to check the Enbridge website for current details.
-
What is the average lifespan of a heat pump?The average lifespan of a heat pump is around 15 to 20 years. However, a well-maintained unit can often last even longer. At Comfort NEXT Heating & Cooling, we offer regular maintenance and upkeep services to ensure your heat pump lasts as long as possible.
