What type of furnace should I install in my home?
Your furnace is a vital component of your home. Here are the three primary types of furnace installations available:
Gas Furnace Installation & Replacement:
Gas furnaces are the most commonly installed units in Kelowna homes. They offer higher efficiency compared to oil furnaces and are cost-effective to operate using natural gas. However, it’s important to note that gas furnaces require regular maintenance and carry the risk of carbon monoxide buildup.
Electric Furnace Installation & Replacement:
Electric furnaces are a popular choice due to their lower installation costs, as they solely rely on electricity without the need for gas lines or oil storage tanks. Keep in mind that electric furnaces have higher operating expenses due to increased electricity consumption.
Oil Furnace Installation & Replacement:
While oil furnaces are less common in Kelowna, they still offer unique advantages. They provide even heating and have lower emissions compared to gas furnaces, eliminating the risk of carbon monoxide leaks. However, oil furnaces require an on-site oil storage tank and oil delivery services.

Frequently Asked Questions:
How can I improve the efficiency of my furnace?
We recommend scheduling a professional tune-up to optimize the efficiency of your system. At Blair Mechanical, our technicians will expertly clean the blower, resulting in improved furnace performance.
How long will it take to replace my existing furnace and install a new furnace?
The installation time for a new furnace can vary based on several factors including the size and type of furnace, the complexity of the installation, and any additional work needed such as ductwork or venting. Typically, most installations can be completed within a day, but the timeline may extend for more complex projects. It’s worth noting that local building codes might necessitate additional inspections or modifications, which can increase the overall installation duration. Consulting with a professional prior to starting the furnace installation project is crucial to ensure compliance with local regulations and to guarantee a successful outcome.
Do high-efficiency furnaces really save you money?
Yes, high-efficiency furnaces provide significant cost savings. Furnace efficiency is based on the gas-to-heat delivery ratio, and those with higher efficiency not only offer cost savings but enhance safety and cleanliness.
Is there anything I need to do before having my furnace installed?
Prior to installing a new furnace, it’s crucial to obtain the required permits and ensure unobstructed access for the technician. Providing the technician with information about your current HVAC system, including its make, model, and size, they can carry out the installation smoothly and efficiently.
Prior to calling for service, what do I need to know about my furnace?
Before contacting Blair Mechanical for service, it is important to know the make and model of your furnace, and to confirm the furnace is set to the appropriate mode based on the current season. Ensure your system has a power supply and confirm that the battery in your thermostat is functioning properly. These steps will help streamline the service process and ensure a smooth experience.
Should I consider an energy-saving furnace for installation?
Absolutely! There are a wide range of energy-efficient furnace models available that can significantly reduce your energy costs in the long run. To further enhance efficiency, you may want to consider incorporating additional components like programmable thermostats or zoning systems into your installation. These features allow for better control over temperature settings and optimize energy usage. We recommend consulting with one of our HVAC technicians to learn more about these products and how they can benefit your home.
