Frequently Asked Questions About Furnaces
How do I know what size furnace I need for my home?
Furnace size depends on your home’s square footage, insulation, layout, and existing ductwork, not just a general rule of thumb. We send an experienced estimator to properly assess your home before recommending equipment, so you get a furnace that’s sized right instead of one that’s too big or too small for your space.
What happens if a furnace is the wrong size for my home?
An oversized furnace cycles on and off too frequently, wearing out parts faster and leaving your home with uneven temperatures. An undersized furnace runs constantly and still struggles to keep up, driving up energy bills. Correct sizing is the single biggest factor in how efficiently and how long a furnace lasts.
How long does furnace installation take?
Most furnace installations are completed in a single day, including removal of your old system, installation of the new unit, and full testing before we leave. Larger jobs involving ductwork changes may take longer.
What furnace brands does Coastal Energy install?
We install high-efficiency gas furnaces from trusted manufacturers, including Fujitsu and Carrier. Our focus is matching the right furnace to your home’s specific needs rather than pushing a single brand.
How long does a furnace last?
A well-installed, properly maintained furnace can last 15-20 years or more. Installation quality and sizing matter more than brand, a poorly sized or installed furnace can fail well before its expected lifespan, regardless of the equipment. Our technicians have been installing and servicing furnaces across Nanaimo and Parksville for years, and we take the time to size and install every system correctly the first time, because the install is what determines whether your furnace hits that 20-year mark or needs replacing early.
What warranty comes with a new furnace?
Furnaces we install come with strong manufacturer warranty coverage, up to 12 years on parts and extended coverage on the heat exchanger, the component most likely to fail on a lower-quality furnace. Exact terms depend on the specific model, we’ll walk you through your unit’s full coverage as part of your free estimate.
How much does furnace installation cost?
Cost depends on the size of your home, the equipment you choose, and whether any ductwork modifications are needed. Financing is available starting as low as $15 a week. Contact us for a free, no-obligation estimate specific to your home.
Should I repair or replace my furnace?
If your furnace is under 10 years old and the repair is minor, repair is often the better option. If it’s older, needs frequent repairs, or the repair cost approaches the price of a new unit, replacement usually makes more financial sense. A free estimate can help you compare both options for your specific situation.
How often should a furnace be serviced?
Most furnaces should be serviced annually to maintain efficiency, catch small issues before they become costly repairs, and keep your manufacturer warranty valid. Who services your furnace matters just as much as how often, an experienced technician catches problems a general inspection can miss. That’s why Coastal Energy offers ongoing service programs, so your system gets consistent, knowledgeable care year after year instead of a different technician guessing at your setup each time.
Do I need a new furnace if I'm upgrading to a dual fuel system?
Not necessarily. If your existing furnace is in good condition, we can often pair it with a new heat pump to create a dual fuel system. If your furnace is under 10 years old, adding an AC unit to it instead of a heat pump is sometimes the more cost-effective option, depending on what you’re trying to achieve. A free estimate will walk you through all your options so you can decide what actually fits your home and budget.
