Unsafe Furnace replaced in the Fraser Valley. 2-Stage Ducane 97% Efficient Gas Furnace Installed for Safety & Efficiency

In Abbotsford, BC, we recently replaced an outdated and unsafe furnace for a homeowner with a high-efficiency, 2-stage Ducane 97% efficient gas furnace equipped with an ECM fan motor. During a routine maintenance check, our technicians discovered that the existing 70% efficient furnace—installed over 25 years ago—was operating in an unsafe condition. The heat exchanger was severely clogged, and dangerous levels of carbon monoxide were being expelled through the chimney.

Fortunately, no poisonous gases had entered the home at that time, but the system posed a serious safety risk, with the potential for carbon monoxide to leak into the living space in the future. After discussing the situation with the homeowner, they opted for a full replacement rather than repairing the old furnace.

The new 2-stage Ducane furnace not only enhances safety by eliminating the risk of carbon monoxide buildup, but it also significantly improves energy efficiency, providing the homeowner with consistent comfort throughout the year while reducing heating costs. The ECM fan motor helps optimize airflow, further boosting the overall system efficiency.

This upgrade not only addresses immediate safety concerns but also future-proofs the home with a more reliable and energy-efficient heating system. By replacing the old furnace with this modern, high-efficiency model, the homeowner can enjoy peace of mind, lower energy bills, and enhanced indoor air quality for years to come.
