Request furnace repair for a property in Caledon. Include the equipment, the problem or planned work, and your location so the request can be reviewed.
Can the existing furnace and ducts serve the completed addition?
An addition does not automatically require a larger furnace. Establish its heating load and air-delivery route, then assess the existing furnace separately if it has a fault.
Provide the addition plans and installed furnace model. Describe existing operating problems so a contractor can distinguish repair from the expanded distribution design.

Assessment and Scope
Questions for the Proposed Work
01
Calculate the revised load
Ask which finished insulation and window specifications support equipment sizing. Floor area or the old furnace nameplate alone is incomplete evidence.
02
Plan delivery and return
An added supply register needs a considered air path and control plan. Ask how the room connects to existing distribution and whether the fan arrangement suits the completed system.
03
Assess retained connections
If replacement is recommended, include the filter, controls, venting, and fuel arrangement. Confirm which construction work belongs to the addition rather than the appliance installation.
Compare the next step
Compare a furnace repair, distribution changes, and replacement as distinct options. Require an explanation of how each option serves the addition and resolves any documented existing fault.
Leave burner, fuel, venting, electrical, and internal equipment work to a qualified contractor. Do not bypass a safety switch or repeatedly reset a furnace.
