Fan on furnace is acting up (not staying on). Old furnace, needs maintenance, might be time for replacement.
Any recommendations for a reliable furnace repair company that is quick and honest? (we are in North Van)

Furnace repair company recommendations ? (North Vancouver)
I been using use Milani for many years … they are highly professional, but they may not be the cheapest.
Not BC Furnace , there nearly blew up my house dues to their substandard work. yes I had an explosion in my house after they serviced it.
Did a great job replacing ours and a friends. Also works with your Home Depot financing to replace one.
I got a new Rheems 80,000 btu HE furnace 4 years ago which cost 4000$, also R50 in the attic and some weatehr stripping for a total of [HTML_REMOVED]6000$, there were energy rebates which payed me back 2500$ but even without those incentives the gas bill is cut in half which amounts to saving 1300$ a year on gas … I'm way ahead
get 3 estimates my quotes ranged from 4000 to 5600 and one guy didn't even show up
you can search which furnaces are better on the internet I found that Rheems came out pretty good

Proper installation is WAY more important then the brand.

This … a lot of flaky operators out there. Some places will send out a sales guy who knows little about furnaces and heating. They will try to sell you the biggest furnace that is way more BTUs than you need with just a quick look around. I got a energy audit done on my home and the auditor (an MTB buddy) did a BTU rating for my home by taking measurements of the homes air leakage, insulation, furnace and ductwork. The audit used to be free/paid for by the Province, but I believe there is now a fee. I don't know if this has changed, but there may be some info here:

this forum blows enough hot air to keep any home warm.
We don't know what our limits are, so to start something with the idea of being limited actually ends up limiting us.

Between this and just leaving the oven open I think we'll be okay till the weather warms up in a couple months.

In which case, my posts be radiating warmth rather than blowing hot air …
Heat exchanger is toast. New furnace for us. This old dinosaur ain't got parts available. :(

Just buy a Dyson then.. and enjoy the "warning" label on the power cord stating it draws more powa than a fridge or a stove.
