[H6] Testimonials

[H2] What our customers have to say
I just wanted to let you know that the Gas Plus employee Brian did my first annual inspection on my year old furnace. He was so pleasant, respectful, followed COVID guidelines & answered my questions. Very pleasant experience. Thank you Brian!- Lynn WI just thought I would send kudos to your workforce that installed my new furnace. They were very efficient and did an excellent job. They cleaned up thoroughly. Also, they went over the thermostat with us. They were very friendly and mannerly and most of all they wore a mask. That showed respect. I would recommend your establishment to my friends and neighbours. Thank you.- Carol SEnclosing a picture of your new install of our air conditioner! Awesome job!— The Leckie FamilyThanks for a tidy, efficient installation. After such a winter, who knew that we’d be looking for cold weather. We want to give it a test run. It’s nicely tucked into its spot.— Joan C and John MAlmost two years ago I replaced a gas conversion burner furnace with a Baxi hot water unit suggested and installed by Gas Plus. Over that time I have had a significant decrease in the cost of heating and hot water. Gas Plus made an expert installation, adapting the existing hot water plumbing to the new heating system. Thanks, Gas Plus!— Terry W, Owen SoundThank you all for the great service that we received from Gas Plus. To Kelly and Loreen who returned my phone calls and emails, I value your expertise and opinion on installing the 60,000 BTU furnace and your comfort guarantee. Thanks also to Jason who measured and prepared the duct work extensions and Brian who installed the pipe ground and fixed the vibration noise in the exhaust pipe. To your excellent staff who installed the new furnace, GOOD JOB!...I have enthusiastically provided referrals to my two neighbours who are in the process of selecting a heating alternative...Your team made the whole process easy, again thank you.– David MJust a note to say thank you for the excellent service. All is working well and you have a great employee in Corey as he tested everything and made sure there were no leaks in old installations as well as the new ones.– Brian TYour two reps were friendly and very professional and did a great job. We are very pleased with the stove so far. It meets our expectations for heating the whole house and this really is a relief. The old stove that you installed nineteen years ago had done such a good job so we were wondering if the new stove would at least match it, which it does and we think is doing a better job. The fact that you had the remote installed means we will probably notice a smaller gas bill this season...Thank you again for the great service and for your recommendation.— Paul RTHANK YOU for being who you are! You have built up a company that sets the bar exceptionally high for any competitor...I was extremely impressed with every aspect of the new FP and HW installation. The efficiency and technical skills were exemplary but most important...Cory, and Emmon with Dillon were most polite, easy going, knowledgeable, communicative and a delight to have in my home...The end results were impressive too as the fellows even vacuumed and clearly explained the remote and testing to me. Your own personal and business values were conveyed in the hand-written Thank You note as a unique high standard. Much appreciation.— Linda TWe just wanted to share how much we appreciate having Owen Sound Gas Plus, install our new ductless AIC unit. The staff involved from the initial visit and quote, through to the installers were pleasant and professional. Karen on the phone was always happy to help out with any additional questions we had too. The date booked for the installation went as originally scheduled, and everything worked out well with no surprises. Thank you!!– Jane & Mike DI wish to let you know that I was extremely pleased with the service and attention I received from your company with the installation of the Fujitsu Air Conditioning unit. And in no small way was part of my satisfaction due to the nice handwritten note you sent to thank me for my business. As well, after I spoke with you about the small leak in a hose, Jason attended almost immediately and repaired it. The unit has worked great ever since and no further leaks. So — a big thank you to you and your staff!– Sunny W, SouthamptonThank you for your great sales and service on our new gas stove. Your installation staff did a great job installing the unit, removing the old chimney and repairing the roof and soffit. A job well done. The gas stove is working great and keeping us cozy and warm now and in the future winter weather to come. Thanks again Kelly for coming to the house and helping choose the right unit for our needs.– David & Kathy SThe new gas stove we purchased had a little factory defect. Gas Plus left no stone unturned to fix the issue even when it required multiple home visits. It was impressive evidence of a company that stands by its products.– Luc ZI just want to thank the entire team at Gas Plus for the great work they do. We’ve done two projects with you, and we had the same crew on both occasions. They were on time, professional, and their skill set was obvious. The work is always done to expectations. Furthermore, your staff in the office have been responsive and made life easy. It’s refreshing that in a world where good customer service is becoming difficult to find, that a company like Gas Plus is still getting the details right. You’ve got a good group over there, and thank you for the good work.– Anthony PMany thanks and praise goes out to all the staff at Gas Plus. Excellent service when all the folks came to install the furnace and water heater during the frigid weather and again for Clinton coming out yesterday and being able to diagnose the issue...Thanks again, and should anyone inquire about needing a top quality Heating & Cooling company to service or install a NEW product, we will not hesitate to recommend them to Gas Plus.- Kelly & Mindy B

[H5] CAUTION: Beware of Scams
Homeowners are being harassed by people knocking on their doors with misleading information about their furnace or hot water tank. These people are actually salesmen from fly-by-night operations who will say things to scare you into a sale. They’ll often say they’re from the Ontario Government, the Gas utility or the company you rent your hot water tank from. Legitimate businesses would have your proper contact information and would call you in advance for an appointment. Do not let these people into your home.Contact Gas Plus for more information.

[H2] Frequently Asked Questions

We’ve compiled these frequently asked questions along with our expert answers to give you the information you need at your fingertips. If you have a question that isn’t here, please don’t hesitate to contact us, we would be happy to help.

CONTACT US
[H4]

What is two-stage heating?

A two-stage furnace operates at 60% or 100% of its BTUs.  The majority of the time it operates on its lower capacity setting, which is quieter and gives you a more consistent temperature.

[H4]

Will my gas furnace work in a power outage?

No, your gas furnace with only continue operating if you have a back-up generator.

[H4]

How long does a CO Detector last?

A carbon monoxide detector or CO detector should be replaced 5 to 10 years, so long as you change the batteries annually.

[H4]

Will my gas fireplace work in a power outage?

Yes, it will light during a power outage since it doesn’t require electricity to activate the pilot flame.

[H4]

How often do I check my furnace filter?

You should check your filter monthly to ensure furnace and air conditioner are operating at proper temperature.

[H4]

How often do I service my HVAC equipment or gas fireplace?

This is recommended to be serviced annually to ensure safe operation at peak efficiency, and to prevent premature component failure.

[H4]

What’s the right time of year to service your furnace?

We suggest that you schedule maintenance in the summer months in case there are any required repairs. That way you are not without heat when you really need it. The fall is the busiest period for furnace service calls, resulting in longer wait times.

[H4]

What type of venting is required for my furnace?

Modern, high-efficiency furnaces and fireplaces do not require a regular chimney for venting. Furnace venting is achieved with a 636 vent pipe placed through an external wall.

[H4]

Is there a “best time” of the year to purchase and install a new furnace?

The best time of year to purchase and install a natural gas furnace is in the spring, summer or fall. At these times of the year, contractors are less occupied with emergency service work.

[H4]

Will my new high-efficiency furnace affect my water heater choice?

It may. If you choose a high-efficiency furnace, you will need to consider the venting requirements of your choice. Ask your contractor for more information.

[H4]

How often do I change the batteries in my programmable thermostat or remote control?

You should change the batteries annually. Also, remember to change the batteries in the remote control sending unit, as well as the hand held.

[IMG: qode-eliptic-slider]

[H2] Energy Saving Tips

Install Energy Star appliances
Service and maintain heating and cooling products annually
Manufacturers may void warranties if equipment is not cleaned and checked annually
Use your set back programmable thermostat
Keep your furnace filter clean
Keep all registers and grills clean and open
Do not put filters in registers
Do no use high-density filters
Cover your outside A/C condenser unit in the fall
