HVAC Services in Manotick

HVAC stands for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning. Therefore, an HVAC system is a series of units responsible for cooling, heating, and moving air between indoor and outdoor areas in buildings, such as homes. In fact, most homes in Manotick likely already have multiple HVAC units in them. Examples of HVAC units include heat pumps, boilers, water heaters, furnaces (gas, oil, and propane-based), and air conditioners. The reason HVAC systems are so important is that they give homeowners total control over the temperature, airflow, and humidity levels in their homes. In essence, HVAC systems are what allow for optimal indoor comfort.

Experts tend to agree that HVAC systems could benefit from regular maintenance. Regular maintenance means having your HVAC system serviced once a year. Scheduling an annual maintenance appointment has so many benefits, like prolonging the life of your HVAC unit and increasing its energy efficiency. When you book a maintenance service with Anchor Home Comfort, a fully licensed and certified technician will come to your home to assess your system. Specifically, they will inspect the thermostat, air conditioner, and heating system and calibrate them as needed, lubricate all moving parts in the systems to decrease friction, check the air filter, cleaning and replacing it if necessary, test the unit’s safety controls and startup cycle, and lastly, complete a written analysis of the service’s findings. Anchor Home Comfort’s maintenance services are designed to be thorough. This way, we can get to the root of the problem and fix it for you before it becomes a larger (more expensive) issue. 

Experts suggest changing your HVAC system every 10 to 20 years. Modern air conditioners and furnaces are typically designed to last between one and two decades, though this timespan varies based on the specific model you choose and whether you book regular maintenance services. If you aren’t sure whether to change your HVAC system, contact Anchor Home Comfort. We can send an expert technician to your home who will assess your system before offering their professional opinion on whether it needs to be replaced.

Yes, HVAC systems can overheat. Some of the most common signs of an HVAC system that is overheated include restricted airflow, a strange buzzing or rattling noise, a strong odour emanating from the unit, or the unit frequently turning on and off. A few reasons that HVAC systems overheat are dirty condenser coils, refrigerant leaks, and blocked air filters. If you suspect your HVAC system is overheated, get in touch with Anchor Home Comfort. An overheated system can lead to major problems, so failing to address it quickly can have serious consequences.

HVAC installation costs vary greatly in Manotick. This is because many factors determine the cost of HVAC installation beyond location. For example, the model and type of HVAC unit you need to be installed can impact the price. The cost of installing a heat pump or water heater in Manotick typically isn’t the same as the price of installing a new air conditioner or furnace. In fact, the price of installation can even differ between the same types of HVAC units, since some models may be more complicated (and therefore expensive) to install. Other factors that may impact the cost of your Manotick HVAC installation include the size of your home and the age and condition of your home’s ductwork.

The cost of furnaces varies, even for homes of the same size. With so many models on the market today, it’s easy for furnaces to differ in price by thousands of dollars. As you might suspect, high-end models tend to cost more than basic models. Therefore, the price of your furnace will depend on the model you choose. Keep in mind that furnaces must be suited to the size of your home. To effectively heat a 1,500 square foot home in Manotick, you should look for a furnace with a minimum output of 40,000 BTUs (British thermal units) and a maximum output of 90,000 BTUs.
