Electric Furnace in Montreal, a Safe Option to Heat Your Home

Easy and Safe Installation

An electric furnace serves two main functions in your home. It heats your home and circulates air through the ventilation ducts. It includes a motor and a fan to move air, as well as electric heating elements to generate heat. A safe heating device, the electric furnace is easy to install. To reduce any risk of damage or fire, Air Spécialiste Inc. strongly recommends that you rely on professionals to install your electric furnace in Montreal.

 

Our team will help you determine the power required for your furnace, in BTU/h or kW (kilowatts), based on your property’s characteristics. To size it correctly, the calculation considers several variables, including the home’s floor area and volume, its layout and orientation, geographic location, construction type, insulation and air sealing level, and the size, type, and orientation of the windows.

The Central System: A Winning Combination

Did you know you can optimize your heating system’s efficiency by combining your furnace with a heat pump? 
When you adjust the temperature by 1 or 2 degrees, the furnace is triggered. Once the temperature is reached, the heat pump takes over. This allows you to regulate the room temperature more easily, in addition to saving on heating costs. However, when the outdoor temperature reaches -15 °C or lower, the electric furnace becomes the only heating source. 

 

Are considering swithing your heating system to dual energy? Our professionals will guide you in assessing a configuration that suits your home and confirm whether Hydro-Québec Rate DT could apply to your situation.

How Does an Electric Furnace Work?

An electric furnace converts electrical energy into thermal energy. It typically consists of a heating element, a thermostat and a fan. When the room temperature drops below your selected setting, the thermostat detects the change and activates the heating element. The heating element, which is usually made of resistance wire, heats up when electricity passes through it, and the fan then circulates the heated air around the room.

What Are the Advantages of an Electric Furnace?

If you want a reliable and efficient heating solution, an electric furnace may meet your needs. It offers several practical advantages for everyday comfort:

 

  • Safe: Electric furnaces do not produce harmful emissions, such as carbon monoxide.

  • Easy to install: Electric furnaces work in a wide range of settings and do not require a chimney or exhaust vent.

  • Quiet: With discreet operation, an electric furnace produces less noise than other heating systems.

  • Energy efficient: It optimizes energy use for strong performance and a reduced carbon footprint.

  • Healthier air: Electric furnace filters capture dust and allergens, which helps keep the air in your ventilation ducts cleaner.

  • Low maintenance: You avoid risks such as oil leaks or carbon monoxide.

  • Works with a heat pump: By optimizing coordination with the central system, you maximize energy efficiency. This improves even air distribution, temperature control, and overall system efficiency.

  • Maximizes central system performance: With smart integration, an electric furnace improves the overall performance of your heating and air conditioning system for consistent results in every season.
