Top 5 Signs Your Furnace Isn’t Ready for Ottawa’s Winter

Ottawa winters can be unpredictable — but your heating system shouldn’t be. If you’ve noticed any of these warning signs, your furnace might be due for service before the next cold snap:

  1. Strange noises — banging, rattling, or squealing usually means something’s loose or worn out.
  2. Uneven heat — cold spots in certain rooms can signal airflow or duct issues.
  3. Higher energy bills — a struggling furnace works harder and costs more to run.
  4. Short cycling — if it keeps turning on and off, it’s not operating efficiently.
  5. Yellow pilot light — a sign of improper combustion that could become a safety issue.

Don’t wait for a breakdown during the first big freeze. Schedule a professional furnace inspection today and stay ahead of winter problems.
