Why Replace Your Old Furnace Today
Older heating systems often lose efficiency long before they fail, costing you money every winter.
We recommend evaluating any unit that is 10–15 years old. Today’s models deliver far better performance. A 92% AFUE system sends most of the fuel’s energy into your home, while older units may operate near 50% and waste half the fuel.
Energy savings and comfort benefits
Lower winter bills: Higher efficiency means less fuel and reduced heating costs.
Quieter, steadier heat: Variable-speed blowers keep temperature even across rooms and improve filtration for cleaner air.
When replacement makes sense
- Frequent repairs, trouble starting, or inability to hold temperature signal a looming failure.
- Eligible Canadian rebates and utility incentives can offset purchase and installation costs.
- We size systems to your home so the unit cycles correctly and lasts for years.
| Issue | Impact | Benefit of replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Low AFUE (≈50%) | High fuel use and bills | Up to 92% heat delivery, lower costs |
| Frequent repairs | Unplanned downtime in cold months | Reliable performance and fewer emergency calls |
| Poor air flow | Uneven temperature and dust | Improved filtration and steadier temperature |

Our Furnace Installation Process, From Free Assessment to Warmth
Our process begins with a focused home visit to map your heating needs and layout. We inspect your current HVAC, measure heat loss, and discuss your comfort goals so we can design the right solution.
No‑obligation in‑home assessment tailored to your home
We provide a free, no‑pressure review that identifies duct issues, sizing needs, and any obstacles that affect cost and long‑term performance.
Clear, fixed price quote with permits and standard work included
After the assessment you receive a fixed price that covers permits, standard work and safety checks. This way the price we give is the price you pay.
Professional installation by licensed technicians, done right the first time
Our licensed technicians follow manufacturers’ specs and B.C. code. We protect floors, remove the old unit, set venting and gas lines to code, and run commissioning tests.
“Clean, punctual and thorough—our home was warm by evening and the paperwork was handled for us.”
- We coordinate permits and inspections to save you time and protect warranties.
- We walk you through thermostat settings and filter care for immediate comfort.
- We document readings so future service is fast and clear.

Choosing the Right Furnace: Motors, Stages and Comfort Control
Choosing the right motor and staging can transform how your home feels and how much you pay.
Single‑stage legacy systems use a simple on/off blower and are being phased out in Canada because they waste energy and cause wide temperature swings. They no longer meet modern efficiency standards.
Multi‑stage options for balanced cost and comfort
Multi‑stage units offer two or more firing and blower settings. They cut noise, reduce cycling, and keep temperature steadier. That often gives the best balance of cost and comfort for many homes.
Variable‑speed technology for precise, efficient heat
Variable‑speed motors adjust in small increments to match demand precisely. They improve efficiency and make air movement quieter and more consistent.
- We compare each unit’s features, warranty and controls to match your equipment to goals.
- Variable‑speed systems move air more steadily, improving filtration and indoor air quality.
- We make sure controls integrate with your thermostat—smart or simple—so the system performs as specified.
| Motor Type | Comfort | Efficiency |
|---|---|---|
| Single‑stage | On/off cycles; larger temp swings | Lower; being phased out |
| Multi‑stage | Smoother temp, less noise | Moderate to good |
| Variable‑speed | Precise temp, best comfort | Highest; better air quality |

Sizing, Efficiency and Total Cost of Ownership
A room‑by‑room heat‑loss calculation is the single best step to match capacity with real home needs.
We measure your house envelope, insulation, windows and doors, and airflow to select the correct system capacity. Proper sizing prevents short‑cycling and reduces wear. That improves comfort and extends equipment life.
Professional heat‑loss calculations to size your system
We perform detailed heat‑loss work for each room so the chosen equipment fits actual load requirements. This accounts for ducts, vents and layout.
AFUE explained: from older 50% units to 90%+ high‑efficiency
AFUE shows the share of fuel turned into usable heat. Older 50% models waste roughly half your fuel spend, while 90%+ units convert most fuel into heat and cut operating costs over the years.
No‑surprises pricing that includes full installation
Our fixed quotes cover equipment, standard installation and required permits. That helps you compare total cost, not just the sticker price.
What drives costs: home layout, ducts, fuel type and add‑ons
- House size, duct condition and vent routing affect labour and materials.
- Fuel choice and comfort add‑ons like advanced filtration or smart controls change the overall cost.
- We document combustion air, vent lengths and electrical requirements so the work proceeds smoothly and safely.
| Factor | Impact | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Sizing | Comfort & lifespan | Correct capacity reduces cycling and noise |
| Efficiency (AFUE) | Operating costs | Higher AFUE saves fuel and lowers bills |
| Ducts & layout | Installation costs | Poor ducts add labour and reduce system performance |

Options and Upgrades to Maximise Home Comfort
Targeted upgrades help your system move air cleaner and use energy more efficiently.
Duct cleaning to improve airflow and reduce irritants
Professional duct cleaning removes dust, mould and debris that cut airflow and carry irritants through your home. Cleaner ducts let your unit and AC move air with less strain.
HEPA filtration and UV systems for better indoor air
HEPA filters trap fine particles and allergens. UV lights installed in the equipment target microbial growth and reduce odours. Together, they support cleaner air for sensitive households.
Smart thermostats and zoning for efficiency
Smart thermostats like ecobee provide scheduling, alerts and remote control. Zoning and smart sensors let you heat or cool only lived-in areas, lowering energy use without sacrificing home comfort.
- Better airflow: cleaner ducts mean less dust and fewer cycling issues.
- Improved IAQ: HEPA + UV reduces particles and microbes.
- Smart control: thermostat and zoning pairings cut energy while matching your routine.
We recommend matching equipment and controls during installation so your system performs as intended. Call Lord Mechanical LTD at 6046703737 for upgrades in North Vancouver and West Vancouver.
Repair, Replacement and Preventive Maintenance
Deciding between repair and full replacement starts with a clear assessment of cost, age and reliability.
We evaluate service history, current faults and warranty status to make an objective recommendation you can act on. Minor issues or single-part failures often justify a repair when the unit has reliable performance for most of its expected years.
When repair makes sense — and when replacement is better
Repair is sensible when parts are available, the fault is isolated, and the unit has life left.
Consider replacement when repairs stack up, efficiency lags modern standards, or reliability risks leaving your home without heat at the worst time.
- Repair: low-cost fix, recent service history, short downtime.
- Replacement: frequent breakdowns, low efficiency, or when warranty and long-term cost favour a new system.
Lifespan, warranties and maintenance plans for peace of mind
A typical lifecycle is about 15 years. Poor sizing or poor initial work can shorten that.
Our maintenance visits clean components, check safety systems and verify airflow. Regular maintenance extends service life and keeps air cleaner in your home.
“We review warranty coverage and service history so you can weigh cost, risk and comfort with confidence.”
| Factor | When repair | When replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Age and service history | Within expected years; few past faults | Near or beyond 15 years; repeated repairs |
| Cost & efficiency | Low repair cost; efficiency acceptable | High cumulative repair cost; low efficiency |
| Reliability risk | Unlikely outage in cold time | Risk of no heat during peak seasons |
We provide side-by-side estimates so you can compare upfront cost, operating expense and comfort outcomes. Call Lord Mechanical LTD at 6046703737 for a clear assessment and options in North Vancouver and West Vancouver.
Financing, Payment Options and Installation Timelines
Managing the cost and timing of a new unit or a major repair should never be a barrier to safe heat.
We provide flexible financing and staged payment plans so you can upgrade without undue strain on monthly budgets.
Many providers offer similar options, but we tailor terms to your needs and explain the fine print. Your fixed quote includes standard installation charges and a clear breakdown of costs up front.
Flexible payment and financing options to fit your budget
We can structure payments, help you access third‑party financing, or arrange staged billing for larger jobs. This keeps immediate costs lower while you move to a more efficient system that reduces long‑term bills.
Prompt scheduling and fast turnarounds to restore heat
Our coordinators prioritise your time frame and offer expedited slots during cold snaps. For urgent needs, we assess whether a short‑term repair or a direct replacement best restores heat quickly.
“We arranged a rapid visit and clear payment terms, and our home had dependable heat the same day.”
- Transparent quotes: standard installation and permit fees are listed so there are no surprises.
- Logistics handled: we coordinate permits, materials and job sequencing so installation day matches the plan.
- Clear answers: if you have questions about timelines, add‑ons or plan terms, we provide written details.
| Option | Typical time to complete | When to choose |
|---|---|---|
| Urgent repair | Same day to 2 days | Quick fix to restore heat and avoid outage |
| Standard replacement | 3–7 business days | Planned swap with fixed costs and permits |
| Financed upgrade | Schedule after credit approval (varies) | Spread costs while improving efficiency |
