What Saskatoon Homeowners Say About Our Furnace Installations
A new furnace is a long-term investment, and you are trusting a contractor with your home and your budget. Here is what homeowners and businesses across Saskatoon have said after we installed their heating systems.
The Furnace Installation Process at Aviation Mechanical
Free In-Home Assessment & Load Calculation
We start by understanding your home’s heating needs. Our technician walks through your property, checks insulation levels, assesses window quality and orientation, and measures your home’s square footage and layout. This detailed load calculation ensures your new furnace is sized precisely — not oversized (which wastes fuel) or undersized (which leaves cold spots). We also inspect your existing ductwork to identify any leaks or restrictions that could affect efficiency, and recommend duct sealing if needed.
- Load calculation using industry-standard software
- Visual inspection of ductwork, venting, and electrical infrastructure
- Assessment of your home’s insulation and air sealing
- Discussion of furnace type (standard efficiency vs. high-efficiency condensing models)
- Review of equipment options, brands, and warranty terms
Equipment Selection & Financing Review
Once we understand your heating demands, we present equipment options across different efficiency levels and price points. We explain the long-term savings of high-efficiency units (which recover heat from exhaust and use less fuel) versus standard models, and help you balance upfront cost with monthly operating expense. If financing makes sense for your budget, we walk through our financing options with Finance It so cost isn’t a barrier to comfort.
- Side-by-side comparison of furnace efficiency ratings and estimated annual operating costs
- Discussion of brand differences (Armstrong Air, Concord Air, Napoleon models)
- Warranty coverage and equipment protection options
- Financing programs to spread installation cost over manageable monthly payments
- Written quote with all equipment details, labor, and timeline clearly listed
Installation Scheduling & Pre-Installation Setup
Once you’ve approved the quote and secured financing, we schedule installation at a time that works for your household. For larger homes or complex ductwork situations, we may recommend a two-day installation window. Before the work day, we confirm access to your furnace location, discuss temporary heating arrangements (if needed), and review the project scope one more time.
- Confirmed installation date and arrival window
- Safety briefing on work zones and temporary heating arrangements
- Preparation of furnace location (typically basement or utility closet)
- Preparation of venting route if needed (new or updated venting may be required)
- All equipment and materials delivered to site the day before installation
Equipment Installation, Venting & Electrical Connections
On installation day, our two-person crew removes your old furnace safely, disconnects gas and venting, and prepares the space. We position your new furnace according to code and manufacturer specifications, connect all gas lines with proper pressure testing, install new venting (if required by code or efficiency upgrade), and handle all electrical connections to your thermostat and home’s circuit panel. Every connection is pressure-tested for safety, and we confirm all ignition and airflow function before moving forward.
- Removal and safe disposal of old furnace
- Installation of new furnace on proper foundation or platform
- Gas line connection with pressure testing and leak detection
- Venting installation (Type B common venting or direct venting for high-efficiency models)
- Electrical thermostat connection and circuit panel integration
- All connections inspected and tested for safety and proper operation
System Testing, Training & Handoff
Once installation is complete, we run the furnace through a full cycle — testing ignition, confirming heat delivery to all rooms, checking thermostat response, and verifying safety shutoffs. We walk you through operation of your new system, show you how to adjust your thermostat, explain maintenance needs (filter changes, annual tune-ups), and leave you with all equipment documentation, warranties, and our contact information for follow-up service. Many homeowners sign up for our HIP HVAC Inspection Program maintenance plan at this point to protect their investment with annual check-ups.
- Full system startup and operational testing
- Heat delivery verification in multiple rooms
- Thermostat programming and seasonal adjustment guidance
- Written operation manual, warranty documentation, and service schedule
- Discussion of preventive maintenance to extend furnace lifespan
- Cleanup of installation workspace and removal of packaging materials
Standard vs. High-Efficiency Guidance
A standard furnace sends a meaningful share of its heat up the chimney as exhaust. A high-efficiency (condensing) furnace captures much of that waste heat, so it uses less gas and helps lower your heating bills. High-efficiency units require special venting and cost more upfront, but the fuel savings often offset the difference over time. We’ll help you balance upfront cost with monthly operating expense so you choose the right system for your home.
