Furnace planning in Hamilton: duct repairs versus a larger furnace
Weak heat in one room does not by itself show that the furnace is too small. Distribution issues can remain after new equipment is installed. Ask how the provider distinguished a capacity problem from restricted airflow or a control issue.
Duct repairs versus a larger furnace
If duct changes are required, identify them as part of the scope and cost. A hybrid heat pump design may have different airflow needs from the existing furnace arrangement.
- List the rooms with symptoms.
- Ask what airflow checks were performed.
- Separate distribution repairs from equipment.
Check the rebate line
A furnace-only replacement has no HRS heat pump rebate. If the proposal includes a qualifying heat pump, check its separate equipment, rate and mandatory pre-approval. The city does not create a special provincial furnace entitlement.
