Natural gas furnaces are the most common home heating equipment installed in Ottawa homes because natural gas has been the most affordable fuel option here for decades. It’s important to keep in mind that utility bills on these furnaces will continue to rise as the Carbon Tax does. Modern natural gas furnaces have high-efficiency ratings which keep utility costs in check. If your furnace requires frequent repairs or is 20+ years old, a new furnace could help you decrease your monthly bills.

Oil used to be a common option for rural homeowners who couldn’t access natural gas however, its popularity has declined in recent years due to environmental concerns. The price has also become extreme given its scarcity, delivery costs, and the Carbon Tax. We recommend that any homes that are still using an oil furnace upgrade to a modern high-efficiency system instead of repairing.
The good news is that there has never been a better time to upgrade from an oil furnace to a heat pump! The Government of Canada is currently offering a rebate of up to $15,000 to homeowners who replace their oil furnace with a new, high-efficiency heat pump – Learn more.

If your furnace is still not working after trying the easy fixes above you will need to look at calling in a reputable Ottawa area furnace repair company to diagnose and fix the issue. Below we outline the most common furnace repairs and how difficult they are to fix.
| Symptom | Possible Causes | Repair |
|---|---|---|
| No Heating | Airflow is restricted. | Replace the dirty furnace filter to improve airflow. |
| Thermostat is set incorrectly. | Check that the heating mode has been selected and the thermostat is set to the desired temperature. | |
| System has no power. | Check that the appropriate breaker in the electrical panel is switched on. Check that the emergency switch for the furnace is on. Check that the thermostat is firmly connected to the wall and that its batteries are fresh (if applicable). |
|
| Not Enough Heating | Airflow is restricted. | If you’ve replaced your furnace filter and you still have low airflow consider cleaning your air ducts if it has been a long time. |
| Vents are set incorrectly. | Ensure all windows and doors are properly sealed and that the appropriate vents are open. | |
| Strange Noises / Lights / Error Codes | Mechanical failure. | Keep notes on the types of sounds, lights or error codes you notice and schedule a professional furnace inspection. |
| Water Leaks (At or near furnace) | Drain is blocked. | Check the condensate drain line for clogs or blockages and clear them if necessary. |
| Pump failure. | If you have a separate condensate pump make sure it has electricity and appears to be operational. |
Depending on the type of furnace you have, the type of repair needed and the company doing the work the cost can range from $250-$2000+*. More expensive repairs like a broken blower motor, primary circuit board or heat exchanger are likely not worth investing in, especially on an older furnace.
Depending on the furnace part and the manufacturers, parts warranties range from 5 to 10 years. If all the parts you need to replace are still covered by warranty, repairing your furnace will likely be the best option.
Furnaces typically last for 12 to 15 years and as the equipment ages, repairs become more frequent and the efficiency of the system decreases. If you’re facing costly furnace repairs, it’s important to ask whether the repair will extend the lifespan of your equipment or if another repair will be necessary soon. In such cases, investing in a replacement might prove to be a better long-term investment.
Modern furnaces are significantly more efficient than older models. Investing in a new system can in many cases drastically reduce the home’s energy bills. A new high-efficiency system can often pay for itself in this way.
At Francis Plumbing Heating & Cooling, we offer specialized furnace maintenance and protection plans to prioritize your peace of mind. Our team of expert Ottawa furnace contractors is committed to keeping your heating system in peak condition. With regular furnace tune-ups and maintenance checks, we ensure your furnace operates efficiently, reducing the need for costly furnace repair down the line.

In Ottawa, a furnace typically lasts for 12 to 15+ years, however, this varies depending on factors such as the type of furnace, the frequency of maintenance, and how much it is used. Regular maintenance can help extend the life of your furnace and reduce furnace repair costs. At some point, as the equipment ages the cost of repairs and decreased efficiency will start to outweigh the cost of a furnace replacement.
