Furnace Only, or Furnace and Duct Cleaning?
Furnace cleaning covers the unit. Duct cleaning covers the network that carries the air to each room. Booked together, they're a bundle rate. Here's how to tell which one your house needs.
| Your situation | What to book |
|---|---|
| The ducts were cleaned recently | Furnace only |
| You've just moved in and nobody knows when either was done | Furnace and duct cleaning |
| There's been renovation or construction dust in the house | Furnace and duct cleaning |
| Pets or dust sensitivities, and the furnace is due | Furnace once a year Ducts as needed |
| The furnace runs fine and was cleaned last year | Neither yet Change the filter and wait for the next season |
Townhouses
Townhouse Furnaces: Closets, Garages and Bylaws
Townhouse furnaces are often in a closet, under the stairs, in the garage or in a crawlspace, and the space around them tends to fill up with storage.
Who's responsible
In a strata, owners generally look after their own strata lot, subject to the bylaws. A furnace that serves only your unit is usually yours to maintain, but check your bylaws, because some stratas set it up differently.
Ask your strata council
Some stratas arrange a routine inspection of gas-fired units for the whole complex. If yours does, find out what it covers before booking.
Clear the closet
A furnace closet that has to be emptied before we can work is quoted on site as hard access. Clearing it beforehand keeps the visit simple.
Tell us where it is
Closet, garage, crawlspace or attic. It changes what the technician brings.
If other owners in your complex want their furnaces cleaned too, we can book several units on the same day. Tell us how many when you call.
Call: (604) 435-3530
What gets cleaned
What a Furnace Cleaning Covers
Every furnace has an air side and a combustion side. A full cleaning covers both, and the combustion side is regulated gas work in BC.
Air side
- 1Blower: Wheel, housing and motor exterior.
- 2Cabinet: The inside of the furnace cabinet.
- 3Plenums: Return and supply.
- 4Filter housing and rack: Plus the air cleaner cabinet, if there is one.
Combustion side
- 5Burners: Burner assembly, ports and air openings.
- 6Flame sensor: A film on it can make the furnace shut itself down as a precaution.
- 7Ignition: Pilot or ignition assembly.
- 8Heat exchanger: Its surfaces, plus a look at the vent connection.
We check the flame before anything is opened, shut off power and gas, clean both sides, then relight and test before we leave.
Stop and call instead
Soot marks, a yellow flame or a CO alarm are combustion faults, not a cleaning job. Stop the system and call. Electrical faults are a different trade, and we'll tell you to call an electrician or an HVAC technician.
