Frequently Asked Questions & Answers
How do I know when it's time to replace my furnace?
It is typically time to replace your furnace when it is 15 to 20 years or older, requires frequent and costly repairs, struggles to heat your home evenly, or has become significantly less efficient resulting in rising energy bills. Other indicators include a cracked heat exchanger (a safety hazard), excessive noise during operation, or a yellow burner flame. McMullen’s technicians can assess your current furnace and provide an honest recommendation on whether repair or full replacement makes the most sense for your situation.
What furnace brands does McMullen's install?
McMullen’s Refrigeration & Heating installs a range of high-quality furnace brands suited to Alberta’s climate and the specific heating needs of Central Alberta homes. Their technicians are trained and certified on leading manufacturers and will help you select the right furnace based on your home’s size, existing ductwork, budget, and efficiency goals. Contact McMullen’s for a consultation and quote to find out which brands and models they currently recommend and have in stock.
How long does a furnace installation take?
A standard furnace installation in Red Deer typically takes 4 to 8 hours for a straightforward replacement where existing ductwork and gas lines are already in place. More complex installations, such as those requiring new ductwork runs, gas line modifications, or electrical upgrades, may take longer. McMullen’s technicians will give you a clear timeline estimate during the quoting process so you can plan accordingly with minimal disruption to your household.
Does McMullen's pull permits for furnace installations?
Yes. McMullen’s Refrigeration & Heating handles all required permits as part of every furnace installation. Proper permitting ensures the installation is inspected and meets Alberta’s building and gas codes, which is also a requirement for maintaining the manufacturer’s warranty on your new furnace. McMullen’s takes care of the entire process — from permit application to final inspection — so homeowners have complete peace of mind that the installation is done right and fully compliant.
What is the difference between a single-stage and two-stage furnace?
A single-stage furnace operates at one fixed output level — it is either fully on or fully off. A two-stage furnace has two output levels (typically 65% and 100%), allowing it to run at lower capacity during milder conditions and ramp up only when needed. Two-stage furnaces are generally more energy-efficient, provide more even heating, reduce temperature swings, and run more quietly. For most Central Alberta homeowners, a two-stage or variable-speed furnace offers better comfort and lower long-term operating costs. McMullen’s can help you choose the right option for your home.
How much does a new furnace installation cost in Red Deer?
The cost of a new furnace installation in Red Deer varies depending on the furnace brand and model, its efficiency rating (AFUE), the size of your home, and whether any ductwork or gas line modifications are needed. McMullen’s provides free quotes and will explain all costs upfront before any work begins. They focus on right-sizing your furnace — not upselling you on more than you need — to ensure you get the best value for your investment.
What efficiency rating should I look for in a new furnace?
Furnace efficiency is measured by Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE). In Alberta’s cold climate, a high-efficiency furnace with an AFUE rating of 96% or higher is strongly recommended. These units convert 96 cents or more of every dollar of natural gas into heat, significantly reducing heating costs compared to older mid-efficiency models in the 80% AFUE range. McMullen’s can help you calculate the potential energy savings of a high-efficiency upgrade and advise on available rebates through natural gas utility programs in Alberta.
Does a new furnace installation come with a warranty?
Yes. New furnaces installed by McMullen’s come with both a manufacturer warranty on parts and a labour warranty on the installation itself. McMullen’s registers the manufacturer warranty on your behalf as part of their installation process, ensuring full coverage is in place from day one. Manufacturer warranties on high-efficiency furnaces typically range from 5 to 10 years on parts, with some brands offering limited lifetime heat exchanger warranties. Ask McMullen’s for full warranty details on the specific model being installed.
