Homes with pets or allergy sufferers may need more frequent changes. A clean filter improves air quality and helps your system run efficiently. **What temperature should I set my thermostat to in winter?** For comfort and energy savings, we suggest 20–21°C (68–70°F) when home and awake, and 17–18°C (62–65°F) when sleeping or away. A programmable thermostat can automate these adjustments and reduce heating bills. **How long does a furnace typically last?** A well-maintained furnace typically lasts 15–20 years. Regular annual maintenance can extend its lifespan and catch small issues before they become expensive repairs. **Why is my furnace making strange noises?** Unusual sounds like banging, squealing, or rattling often indicate a problem. Banging may signal delayed ignition, squealing could mean a worn belt or motor issue, and rattling might be loose components. We recommend scheduling an inspection if you notice new or persistent noises. **Do you offer financing for new HVAC systems?** Yes. We offer 0% financing for up to 60 months on qualifying equipment, making upgrades to high-efficiency systems affordable with manageable monthly payments. **What's the benefit of a high-efficiency furnace?** High-efficiency furnaces (95%+ AFUE rating) convert more fuel to heat, reducing energy waste and lowering monthly bills. Many homeowners see 20–30% savings on heating costs. They also provide more consistent temperatures and quieter operation. **How do I know if I need a new furnace or just repairs?** Consider replacement if your furnace is over 15 years old, requires frequent repairs, has uneven heating, or your energy bills keep rising. Our technicians provide honest assessments and will recommend repairs when they make financial sense. **Do you service all areas of Calgary?** We proudly serve Calgary and surrounding communities including Airdrie, Cochrane, Okotoks, Chestermere, Mahogany, Seton, Cranston, Wolf Willow, McKenzie Lake, Legacy, Walden, Chaparral, Artesia, and Heritage Pointe. --- ## Other Services ### Residential Gas Line Installation — https://airforceheating.com/gasline-installation Permitted residential gas line installation in Calgary by licensed Alberta gas fitters.
