The Installation and Replacement Process Explained

Installing a new heating system is a significant investment in your home’s value and your long-term comfort. A poor installation can reduce the efficiency of even the most expensive furnace or heat pump by up to 30%. We follow a rigorous, standardized process to ensure your new system operates at peak performance from day one.

Assessment and Sizing

1. First, we conduct a thorough load calculation for your specific home. We do not simply swap out the old unit for a same-size new one. We factor in square footage, insulation levels, window types, and the specific orientation of your home in Mission to determine the exact BTU output required.

System Selection

1. Next, we present you with options that fit your budget and energy goals. This includes high-efficiency gas furnaces, electric heat pumps, or hybrid systems. We explain the benefits of distinct AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) ratings and HSPF (Heating Seasonal Performance Factor) ratings so you can make an informed decision on long-term savings.

Removal and Site Preparation

1. Then, our team safely disconnects and removes your existing equipment. We adhere to environmentally responsible disposal practices for refrigerants and old metal components. We also inspect the existing ductwork and gas lines to ensure they are compatible with the new technology.

Installation and Commissioning

1. Afterward, the new unit is installed according to manufacturer specifications. This involves precise sheet metal fabrication to connect the unit to your plenum, ensuring an airtight seal. We also install new venting and drainage lines as required.

Testing and Walkthrough

1. Finally, we test the system across all operational modes. We measure static pressure, temperature rise, and gas pressure. Once technical checks are complete, we walk you through the operation of your new thermostat and explain maintenance requirements.

Determining When to Repair vs. When to Replace

Homeowners often struggle with the decision of whether to invest in another repair or to bite the bullet and replace the entire system. Making the right choice depends on a combination of the system's age, the cost of repairs, and current efficiency standards.

Signs It Is Time to Repair

1. Age is Under 10 Years: If your furnace or heat pump is relatively new, it likely has many years of service life remaining.
2. The "50% Rule": If the cost of the repair is less than 50% of the cost of a new system, repair is usually the more financially prudent option.
3. Minor Component Failures: Issues like a worn capacitor, a faulty thermostat, or a clogged sensor are inexpensive fixes that restore full function immediately.
4. Warranty Coverage: If your unit is still under a manufacturer’s parts warranty, repairing is almost always the correct path.

Signs It Is Time to Replace

1. Age Exceeds 15 Years: Most heating systems have a lifespan of 15 to 20 years. Beyond this point, efficiency drops significantly, and the risk of catastrophic failure increases.
2. Frequent Breakdowns: If you have required multiple service calls in the last two winters, the cumulative cost of repairs is likely exceeding the value of the unit.
3. Rising Energy Bills: As internal components wear out, the system must work harder to generate the same amount of heat. If your utility bills are spiking despite normal usage, the system is losing efficiency.
4. Safety Concerns: A cracked heat exchanger in a gas furnace is a non-negotiable replacement scenario due to the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.
5. Uneven Heating: If some rooms are freezing while others are roasting, and ductwork isn't the issue, the unit may no longer be capable of distributing heat effectively.

When you consult with Rep-Air Heating and Cooling regarding your system's longevity, we provide an honest assessment based on data, not sales pressure. We help you calculate the Return on Investment (ROI) of a new system versus the sunken costs of keeping an old one running.

Understanding Local Heating Requirements: Permits and Utility Information

Operating a heating system in the Fraser Valley requires specific knowledge of local climate patterns and regulations. The heating needs here are distinct from other regions due to the high humidity levels during winter.

Climate-Specific Considerations

1. The oceanic climate means winters are wet. High humidity can make 4°C feel much colder than it is. This environment makes heat pumps an incredibly efficient option for many homes, as they can extract heat from the outside air even in low temperatures. However, for homes relying on gas furnaces, proper venting is critical to prevent condensation issues that can lead to rust and premature failure.

Permitting and Code Compliance

1. In Mission, upgrading a heating system—particularly when involving gas lines or electrical circuit alterations—requires proper permitting. Attempting unpermitted work can lead to fines, insurance voidance, and safety hazards. We handle the entire permitting process for you. We ensure that the installation meets all municipal bylaws and safety codes, including venting distances from windows and property lines.

Rebates and Incentives

1. British Columbia offers some of the most aggressive rebates in North America for switching to energy-efficient heating. Programs like CleanBC and BC Hydro rebates often provide significant financial incentives for homeowners who switch from fossil fuel heating to electric heat pumps. Our team stays up to date on these changing programs and can guide you on which equipment qualifies, potentially saving you thousands of dollars on your installation.
