Masters Plumbing Heating & Air helps Edmonton homeowners replace a furnace that is no longer keeping up with a properly sized, high-efficiency system, and explains the options and pricing before work begins.

Some rooms never get comfortable, even after repairs.
Heating bills keep climbing without a clear reason.
The furnace is getting louder or less reliable.
A diagnostic shows that repair is not the better value.

The right furnace depends on the house as much as the equipment. The size of the home, the ductwork, the venting options, how the home is used and the comfort you want all shape the recommendation.
We look at the existing system and the house before suggesting equipment, then explain the options and pricing before work begins.
A furnace that is too large heats the home in short bursts and cycles on and off more than it should. One that is too small can run for long stretches and still leave rooms cold on the coldest days. Sizing should be based on the home itself, not simply on the size of the furnace being replaced.
High-efficiency furnaces turn more of the fuel they burn into usable heat than older standard-efficiency models. They condense moisture out of the exhaust, which is why they vent through plastic pipe and need a condensate drain. We go through the high-efficiency options that suit your home and budget.
A single-stage furnace runs at full output every time it turns on. A two-stage furnace can run on a lower stage in milder weather and switch to full output when it is colder. That usually means longer, steadier cycles and more even temperatures. Which one makes sense depends on the home and your priorities.
Many current furnaces use an ECM (electronically commutated motor) blower. An ECM blower can change speed to match what the system needs, and it generally uses less electricity than older fixed-speed blower motors. Steadier, lower-speed airflow can also mean quieter operation.
The thermostat and the furnace controls decide when and how the furnace runs. When a furnace is replaced, we check whether the existing thermostat suits the new equipment, especially with two-stage furnaces and variable-speed blowers.
A high-efficiency furnace vents through pipes that run outside and produces condensate that has to drain away. The vent route, where the pipes end outside, and the condensate drain are planned as part of the installation, so the vent can stay clear through Edmonton winters.
After installation, Comfort Assurance follow-up includes a performance check, a system condition review, and recommendations if needed.
After we look at the home, we present the replacement options that fit, with the pricing for each, before any work begins. Options can differ in efficiency, staging, blower type and controls, as described above.
If the current furnace can reasonably be repaired, we will tell you — see furnace repair in Edmonton. Once the new furnace is in, furnace maintenance and tune-ups in Edmonton helps keep it running well. You can also return to heating services in Edmonton.
Equipment warranty terms vary by manufacturer and model. Ask us about the warranty that applies to the furnace you choose, and we will go over it with the pricing before work begins. Every installation also includes Comfort Assurance follow-up.
Masters explains pricing before work begins and follows the same Comfort Assurance steps after service: a performance check, a system condition review, and recommendations if needed.
Furnace replacement pricing depends on the equipment and the home. We explain the pricing for each option before work begins.
If your current furnace needs a diagnostic first: $168 diagnostic / service call (waived if you proceed with one of the repair options presented).
We explain pricing before work begins.
We don't just fix the problem—we make sure it's working properly.
That decision comes after we look at the furnace. If a repair is the better value, we will say so — see furnace repair in Edmonton. If replacement makes more sense, we explain the options and pricing before work begins.
It depends on the home: its size, the ductwork and how it holds heat. We look at the house before recommending equipment rather than simply matching the old furnace.
A single-stage furnace always runs at full output. A two-stage furnace can run on a lower stage in milder weather, which usually gives longer, steadier cycles and more even temperatures.
Yes. High-efficiency furnaces vent through plastic pipe that runs outside and need a condensate drain. Both are planned as part of the installation.
