Home heating done right!
Your furnace is an essential part of your home's comfort ā not just for keeping you warm in the winter, but for directing airflow in the summer as well!
When winter temperatures in Edmonton drop well below freezing, your furnace isnāt optional ā itās essential.
A furnace is the primary heating system in most Alberta homes. It uses natural gas or electricity to generate heat and distribute it through ductwork, keeping your home warm, safe, and comfortable throughout the long heating season.
With Edmontonās extended winters and sudden cold snaps, having a properly sized, high-efficiency furnace isnāt just about comfort ā itās about protecting your home, your plumbing, and your family.
Modern furnaces can achieve efficiency ratings of 95% to 98% AFUE, meaning more of your fuel becomes usable heat.

Furnace frustrations can happen if your furnace is older, inefficient, or frequently breaking down. When you upgrade to a new, high-efficiency model, you may notice a drastic increase in improved comfort AND lower energy bills.
Because of Edmonton's extreme winters, a furnace problem on the coldest days can be a true nightmare. That's why we provide FREE in-home estimates to help you make the important decision when you're ready to upgrade, replace, or install a new furnace.

Furnaces can stop working for many reasonsāsome simple, some more serious. If you're comfortable with looking for some common causes, you can check things such as your air filter to see if it needs replacement (dirty or clogged filters can restrict airflow), whether your thermostat is out of batteries, and whether the breaker has been tripped. Issues which should be checked by a professional right away include burning or chemical smells, strange sounds (banging, rattling, loud noises), and if your furnace won't turn on at all.
If you're ever unsure or uncomfortable with checking anything yourself, give us a call! ProSolutions is happy to help, especially because we are local and understand just how uncomfortableāand even dangerousāa broken furnace can be.
Furnaces work hard in Alberta's climate, which means it needs regular servicing in order to stay efficient and prevent breakdowns when you need it the most. We recommend booking a tune-up service for your furnace at least once a year, as annual maintenance prevents costly breakdowns and emergency repairs, extends your furnace's lifespan, and ensures your system stays efficient and keeps your utility bills low. Ideally, your furnace should be servied in the fallābefore the heating season starts.
Many homeowners pair annual tune-ups with membership plans like our ProComfort or ProHeating programs to save on service costs and keep maintenance on schedule.
SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio, and the higher the SEER rating, the more efficient an air conditioner is at cooling your home. If you see SEER2, that is the updated version of SEER.
Yes, furnace filters should be changed even in the summer! While your furnace might not be heating, your HVAC system's blower and ductwork are still in use when running your central AC, which means your furnace filter is still in use. Continue following the manufacturer's recommendations for changing your filter (typically every 1-3 months) or depending on your family and household sensitivities.

Boilers and furnaces both provide heat to Edmonton homes, but the difference is in how they provide that heat. A boiler heats water and circulates it (or steam, in some cases) throughout your house, warming your home through radiators or radiant floor systems.
A furnace heats air and that warmth throughout your home through ducting and vents.
The most common types of furnaces include natural gas, oil, propane, and electricity. Gas furnaces are the most popular choice for Edmonton homeowners, but the most popular option may not always be the best option for you.
