What is an HVAC system?

An HVAC system is a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system that works to cool, heat, and move air between indoor and outdoor areas in buildings. HVAC systems are found in homes all over Markham and range from heat pumps, boilers, and water heaters to furnaces and air conditioners. The goal of a home’s HVAC system is to give the homeowner greater total control over the temperature, airflow, and humidity levels on their property. This allows for maximum indoor comfort.

What should I look for in an HVAC system?

If you’re thinking of purchasing a new HVAC system for your Markham home, there are a few things you should look for. Energy efficiency, capacity, maintenance requirements, noise level, cost, and thermostat compatibility are the six criteria we use when shopping for HVAC units. Comparing potential HVAC units using these six factors can help you figure out your priorities and narrow down your search.

Some Markham homeowners may discover that their top priority is to minimize their impact on the environment. Therefore, choosing an energy-efficient HVAC unit with a high SEER rating might be front of mind. (Typically, units with SEER ratings of 15 or over tend to be the most energy-efficient). Alternatively, if you have a new baby or you’re a light sleeper, then noise level might be your main concern. In this case, you should choose an HVAC system that is quiet when operating. Finally, the cost of the HVAC unit might be your priority. Therefore, you should research the highest quality HVAC units at the most affordable price point. Keep in mind that choosing an HVAC unit simply because it’s cheap may not be the wisest decision. This is because inexpensive HVAC units tend to be less energy-efficient, which could lead to higher utility bills than if you’d chosen a more expensive model.

Overall, each Markham homeowner gets to decide which HVAC system is right for them. If you’re struggling to find a unit that suits your home, contact AtlasCare. We would be happy to provide our professional opinion on the best furnace, air conditioner, heat pump, or other system for your property and budget.

How do I know when my HVAC needs maintenance?

Markham homeowners will be able to tell when their HVAC systems need maintenance based on two key indicators. The first is the time since your HVAC system was last looked at by a professional. Experts recommend that HVAC systems be serviced annually to ensure optimal performance. Therefore, if you haven’t booked an HVAC maintenance appointment in over a year, it is likely time for a tune-up. (For those that don’t know, HVAC maintenance comes with tons of benefits like extending the lifespan of your HVAC system, increasing energy efficiency, and preventing problems from occurring that could cost more money down the line.)

Another indicator that your HVAC system needs maintenance is if it’s acting up. Have you noticed a weird noise or smell coming from your HVAC system? Does it seem like it’s constantly running? Then it’s likely time to book a maintenance appointment. The symptom doesn’t have to be major for your HVAC system to benefit from a maintenance appointment. If you notice anything abnormal with your system, get in touch with a trusted HVAC company like AtlasCare today. Telltale signs that something might be wrong with your system are if you notice a buzzing or rattling sound coming from the system, visible rust or cracks on the system’s surface, your furnace only blowing cool air or your air conditioner only blowing warm air, humidity levels that are off in your home, rooms heating unevenly, or an unexpected rise in your utility bills.

If it’s been over a year since your last HVAC maintenance appointment or you have reason to suspect something might be wrong with your unit, AtlasCare is here. We understand how stressful HVAC emergencies can be, which is why we offer 24/7 furnace and air conditioner services to all Markham residents, with no extra fees for weekend, holiday, after hours, or emergency service calls. Call us today and we’ll send one of our fully licensed and certified technicians to your home as soon as possible.

What is involved in HVAC maintenance?

Here at AtlasCare, we take HVAC maintenance seriously. That means that our maintenance appointments are as thorough as can be. When you book an HVAC service with AtlasCare, a certified technician will show up at your home to examine your HVAC system. Upon arrival at your house, your AtlasCare technician will inspect the thermostat, air conditioner, and heating system and calibrate them as needed, lubricate all moving parts in the systems to decrease friction, check the air filter, cleaning and replacing it if necessary, test the unit’s safety controls and startup cycle, and complete a written analysis of the service’s findings. Ultimately, the purpose of AtlasCare’s HVAC maintenance is to prevent long-term problems and ensure your system is functioning optimally. If we detect a problem, we will get to the bottom of it, and we won’t leave until you are 100% satisfied with your service.

Should I repair my old HVAC system or have a new HVAC installation?

Many Markham homeowners wonder if they’re betting on repairing their existing HVAC systems or installing a brand new one. The answer to this question is that it depends. Specifically, it depends on factors like the age of the unit. If the unit is over 15 years old, it may be on its last legs, in which case replacing it might be cheaper. However, if the HVAC system is under 10 years old and the necessary repair is minor, then it likely makes more sense to repair your current system. If you aren’t sure whether to repair or replace your existing HVAC unit, contact a trusted HVAC company like AtlasCare. We can send a technician to your home to inspect your HVAC system and offer our professional opinion on whether your HVAC system should be repaired or replaced.

At AtlasCare homeowners can also get 0% interest rates and no payments when purchasing a new HVAC system!

Does the size of my house matter in getting a new HVAC installation?

AtlasCare is pleased to offer HVAC installations for Markham homes of all sizes. That said, the size of your home might impact the cost of the installation. In addition, you’ll need to choose an HVAC unit that is powerful enough to effectively heat or cool your property. For example, homes that are 1,500 square feet in size require furnaces with a minimum output of 40,000 BTUs (British thermal units) and a maximum output of 90,000 BTUs.

How much is a new HVAC installation in Markham?

The cost of HVAC installation in Markham varies significantly. The type of HVAC system you’re installing is just one factor that impacts the cost. Boiler, heat pump, water heater, air conditioner, and furnace installations do not all cost the same. Further, the cost of installation can also vary between the same types of HVAC units, as some models may be more complicated (and therefore expensive) to install. Other factors used to determine the price of installation include the size of your Markham home, as well as the age and condition of your home’s ductwork.

How are homes heated in Markham?

Homes in Markham are largely heated by furnaces (natural gas-based furnaces, to be specific). Furnaces are the most popular heating system in Canada. However, there is a chance that your home is heated by an alternate heating system, like baseboard heaters, solar heaters, a heat pump, a boiler, or an oil or propane-based furnace.
