Why 96.1% AFUE Furnaces Are Required in Ontario

Since 2010, Ontario building codes have mandated minimum 96% AFUE for all new furnace installations. This regulation ensures homeowners benefit from:

Maximum Energy Efficiency

96.1% AFUE means only 3.9% of fuel is wasted, compared to 20%+ with older systems

Lower Utility Bills

Save 20-40% on heating costs compared to standard efficiency furnaces

Enhanced Reliability

Advanced components and sealed combustion for longer system life

Harrisview Specific Note: Many homes in this neighborhood have older furnaces installed before 2010. Upgrading to a 96.1% AFUE system can cut your natural gas bills by 30% or more while providing more consistent comfort.
