🏠 Old South London — What We Know About These Homes
Old South London is one of the city's most established and beloved neighbourhoods — anchored by Wortley Village, a stretch of independent shops and restaurants along Wortley Road that draws residents from across the city. The housing stock tells a different story to newer areas of London: most homes here were built between the 1920s and the 1960s, with some dating to the late 1800s along streets like Elmwood Avenue and Emery Street.
That heritage is part of what makes Old South special — and part of what makes furnace service here more involved than in newer subdivisions. Many homes still have original or first-generation replacement furnaces. Older ductwork may run through finished basements. Some pre-1970 homes were converted from oil heat, with gas lines added later. Heat exchangers in units over 20 years old carry a meaningful risk of cracking — a carbon monoxide safety concern that Hawana checks on every service call.

Why Furnace Service in Old South Is Different
Newer homes in subdivisions like Summerside or Talbot Village have 2–5 year old furnaces that are largely trouble-free. Old South is a different story — here's what Hawana looks for.
Aging Heat Exchangers
Furnaces over 20 years old develop cracks in the heat exchanger — allowing combustion gases into your living space. Hawana inspects every heat exchanger on service calls at no extra charge. It's a safety issue, not just a performance one.
Original or 1st-Generation Ductwork
Many Old South homes have gravity-era ductwork — large rectangular trunks, no returns on upper floors, or asbestos-wrapped ducts (pre-1970). Sizing modern equipment to work well with original ductwork requires experience. Hawana assesses ductwork compatibility before recommending equipment.
Oil-to-Gas Conversions
Some Old South homes converted from oil heat to gas in the 1980s and 90s. The gas lines added during conversion may be undersized by modern standards. TSSA certification is mandatory for any work on these systems — Hawana's technicians hold it.
Venting and Combustion Air
Older homes were built without mechanical ventilation. High-efficiency furnace installation in a tightly renovated Old South home requires careful combustion air assessment to ensure safe, code-compliant operation. Hawana evaluates this at the quote stage.
Old South Homeowners — Annual Maintenance Is More Important Here Than Anywhere
With furnaces averaging 15–30 years in Old South, annual inspection isn't optional — it's what catches a cracking heat exchanger before it becomes a carbon monoxide issue, and what keeps your aging system running efficiently. Hawana's Total Home Plan at $279/year covers your furnace, AC, heat pump, and water heater in one annual visit. Plan members also get 15% off any repair that comes up.

"Furnace failed on a January night in our 1940s home near Wortley Village. Hawana was here within the hour. The technician diagnosed a cracked heat exchanger — a carbon monoxide safety issue — and explained exactly what the options were without any pressure. Honest, fast, professional. Exactly what you want at midnight in winter."
"Got Hawana in for the annual furnace tune-up on our 1955 bungalow on Elmwood. Abdullah found a failing inducer motor bearing that would have failed mid-winter. Fixed it the same visit. The maintenance plan has already paid for itself three times over. Highly recommend to any Old South homeowner with an older furnace."
