🏡 Westmount London Ontario — What We Know About These Homes
Westmount is one of London's most established west-side neighbourhoods, stretching between Oxford Street West to the north, Commissioners Road to the south, and anchored commercially by the Westmount Shopping Centre at Oxford and Wonderland Road. The neighbourhood developed rapidly through the late 1950s and 1960s, with infill and expansion continuing through the 1970s and into the early 1980s.
The housing stock here is dominated by bungalows and ranch-style homes — a style that was the defining residential architecture of the postwar era and is far more common in Westmount than in London's older or newer neighbourhoods. These homes present specific HVAC challenges that differ from two-storey construction: long horizontal duct runs requiring adequate fan static pressure, and in older examples, large octopus-style gravity-system ducts that were retrofitted for forced air in the 1970s and 1980s. When a Westmount bungalow furnace is replaced, these duct configurations must be assessed — not just swapped like-for-like — to achieve good airflow throughout the home.
Furnaces in Westmount are predominantly 20–35 years old. Many are at or past the point where major repairs tip the math toward replacement, and Westmount homeowners deserve an honest assessment at every diagnostic visit.

What makes furnace service in Westmount's bungalows and postwar homes different from newer construction.
Bungalow Duct Layouts
Ranch and bungalow homes in Westmount have long horizontal trunk ducts running the length of the home. These create more static pressure resistance than vertical two-storey duct systems. An undersized replacement furnace blower leaves the back bedrooms cold. Hawana performs duct assessment on every bungalow replacement quote.
ℹ️ Duct assessment included at quoteOctopus Duct Conversions
Some older Westmount bungalows were originally built with gravity heating — large central octopus duct systems with no return air plenum. When these were converted to forced air in the 1970s–80s, the conversions varied in quality. Some homes have undersized returns that cause negative pressure issues and accelerated blower motor wear.
⚠️ Inspected at every furnace callAging Heat Exchangers
Westmount furnaces averaging 20–35 years old face significant heat exchanger cracking risk — the primary carbon monoxide safety hazard in aging equipment. Hawana checks every heat exchanger on every service call at no extra charge. This is not optional — it is a safety inspection that must be done.
⚠️ Safety — checked every visitSlab & Crawlspace Foundations
Some Westmount bungalows have slab-on-grade or crawlspace foundations rather than full basements, which changes how ductwork is routed and accessed. Crawlspace duct runs require inspection for moisture damage and insulation loss. Hawana verifies crawlspace duct condition when servicing these homes.
ℹ️ Duct condition verified in crawlspacesThe Replacement Zone
With most Westmount furnaces now 20–35 years old, this neighbourhood has the highest concentration of end-of-life equipment of any area Hawana services in London. Annual maintenance is particularly valuable here — not because it extends furnace life indefinitely, but because it gives homeowners advance notice before a failure happens, allowing a planned replacement rather than an emergency one.
⚠️ High replacement rate — plan aheadStraight-Forward Upgrade Path
Despite the older equipment, Westmount is a good neighbourhood for furnace upgrades. Homes with existing natural gas service, forced-air ductwork, and straightforward layouts are well-suited for efficient high-efficiency replacements. Some homes also qualify for cold-climate heat pump installation depending on insulation levels and duct sizing.

Westmount has the highest average furnace age of any neighbourhood Hawana serves regularly in London Ontario.

"Furnace stopped working on a Sunday in our Westmount bungalow. Hawana arrived in under 90 minutes and diagnosed a failed inducer motor. He had a compatible replacement on his truck and we had heat by early afternoon. No weekend surcharge. This is the most professional and honest HVAC service we have ever dealt with in 30 years of homeownership."
"Had Hawana in for annual maintenance on our 28-year-old furnace. Abdullah found the heat exchanger had developed a hairline crack — a carbon monoxide risk we had no idea about. He showed me exactly where and explained the risk clearly without any drama or pressure. We replaced the furnace the following week. I shudder to think what might have happened if we had skipped that annual inspection. Cannot recommend highly enough."
