Heating & Cooling Repair in Barrhaven

A suburb that's still growing

Barrhaven was established in the 1960s on farmland south of the Greenbelt, and it was part of Nepean until Ottawa amalgamated in 2001. Most of its growth came later. Half Moon Bay, south of the Jock River, went from 32 residents in 2006 to 15,219 in 2021, and Longfields grew from 15,278 to 21,504 over the same years.

First big repairs on builder equipment

Homes from those boom years came with furnaces and air conditioners the builder chose. Equipment put in during the 2000s and early 2010s is now reaching the age when the first major parts wear out: inducer motors and control boards in furnaces, capacitors and fan motors in air conditioners. If your system is original to the house, a check-up before the season catches most of it before it fails on a cold night.

Close-set homes and side yards

Where houses and townhouses sit close together, the outdoor unit and the furnace's plastic vent pipes often share a narrow side yard that fills with snow from the roof and the snow blower. Keep the vent pipes clear and the outdoor unit free of drifts, and leave room around it for air in summer.

A good fit for heat pumps

Newer, tighter houses lose heat more slowly, so a cold-climate heat pump can carry more of the winter before the furnace has to help. If your air conditioner is due for replacement, it's worth comparing. See heat pumps.
