Old North Furnace Age and
What It Means for Repairs in 2026
Old North developed in distinct phases. Each era has its own dominant furnace brands, failure modes, and the honest repair vs. replace threshold. When replacement is the right choice, Hawana quotes all applicable options including the new Goodman GR9T96 A2L-compatible furnace alongside Kepler and Midea value-tier alternatives.
Old North contains some of London Ontario's oldest residential housing — Victorian, Edwardian, and early post-war homes along Richmond Street, Regent Street, and Cheapside Street built between the 1920s and 1940s. These homes have had two or three furnace replacements; the most recent from the late 1980s or 1990s is now 25–35 years old in 2026. Heat exchanger integrity is the most critical check for this age group. In London Ontario's climate — 35–40 days per year below -10°C — a 25+ year furnace has been under sustained high-load operation for its entire lifespan. When replacement is needed, the Goodman GR9T96 (96% AFUE, A2L refrigerant compatible, designed for hybrid heat pump pairing) is the most popular replacement choice for Old North homeowners updating older Lennox and Carrier units.
The post-war Old North homes — bungalows and two-storey homes along Oxford Street East, Cheapside Street, and streets between Richmond and Adelaide built from the late 1940s through the 1960s — have furnaces from the 1990s to early 2000s, making them 20–30 years old. Control board failure, inducer motor wear, and heat exchanger stress are the primary failure modes. Old North's mix of longtime homeowners and student rentals near Western University means maintenance histories vary widely. At repair time for furnaces in this cohort, the decision is often Goodman GR9T96 at $3,400 installed vs. a $400–600 component repair — Abdullah walks through the honest math at every call.
The 1960s–1980s Old North homes have furnaces from the late 2000s to early 2010s, now 12–18 years old. Hot surface ignitors, flame sensors, and pressure switches are the dominant failure modes at this age. The student rental concentration near Western University means some units have been on deferred maintenance. For homeowners in this era planning a proactive replacement in the next 1–3 years, the Kepler furnace and Midea furnace are value-tier alternatives to consider alongside Goodman — all backed by the same Hawana installation standard.
🔥 Old North Heritage Homes — What Makes HVAC Service Different Here
Old North presents specific challenges rare in newer London Ontario neighbourhoods. Heritage homes with original chimneys may vent furnaces through historic clay flue liners that must be assessed as part of any furnace service or replacement. Many Old North homes also have non-standard mechanical configurations from earlier renovation periods. Abdullah is experienced with both the heritage homeowner context and the rental property dynamics near Western University — two very different service situations that are both common in Old North.

Common Furnace Problems
in Old North London Ontario
Every symptom has a most-likely cause in the context of Old North’s specific housing stock. Here is what each problem typically means, what the repair costs, and when replacement with a Goodman GR9T96, Kepler, or Midea might be the better choice.
Inducer fan spins up, then nothing — no ignition, no heat. In Old North’s housing stock, this is almost always a failed hot surface ignitor in a Carrier or Lennox unit. Ignitors last 3–10 years and fail without warning, typically under maximum winter load. If this is the first ignitor failure on a furnace under 15 years old, repair is almost always the right choice. If it’s the second ignitor failure on a 20+ year furnace, the repair vs. replace conversation is worth having — Abdullah brings Goodman GR9T96, Kepler, and Midea pricing to every call for exactly this reason.
Furnace lights for 3–10 seconds then shuts off — repeating in a loop. Most common causes: dirty flame sensor or blocked condensate drain. Both are included in the $175 service call. First check your air filter — a fully blocked filter causes overheating and short cycling. Replace it and run the furnace for 20 minutes before calling. If short cycling continues: call (647) 550-4220.
The heat exchanger separates combustion gases — including carbon monoxide — from the air circulated through the home. A crack allows CO into the living space. In Old North, this concern is highest for furnaces over 20 years old. The furnace often appears to run normally with a cracked heat exchanger — which is why CO detectors and professional heat exchanger assessment are both required. If a crack is found, the furnace is shut down immediately. Replacement with a Goodman GR9T96, Kepler, or Midea is required — this finding cannot be repaired.
The control board orchestrates every furnace startup and shutdown step. When it fails, symptoms range from complete non-response to erratic lockouts. Control board replacement costs $325–550 all-in. For Old North’s older furnace stock, this cost should be weighed against a new furnace. The math: a $550 control board repair on a 22-year-old furnace vs. a $3,400 Goodman GR9T96 that provides 20+ years of reliable operation. Abdullah walks through this comparison honestly at every Old North call where the board cost approaches 15–20% of replacement.
Grinding, scraping, or high-pitched whining during startup indicates inducer motor bearing wear. Replacement costs $450–750 all-in. For Old North’s older furnace stock, compare this repair cost honestly against a new furnace. A $600 inducer motor repair on a 22-year-old furnace that will need another major repair in 1–2 years is not the same economics as the same repair on a 14-year-old furnace with intact heat exchanger and a good maintenance history.
Gas furnaces communicate faults by flashing a diagnostic LED. Count the flash pattern (3 flashes, pause, repeat = 3-flash code) and look it up on the label inside your front panel. Common codes: 4 flashes = high limit switch (check dirty filter first), 3 flashes = pressure switch, 6 flashes = ignition lockout (usually ignitor). Call (647) 550-4220 with brand, model, and flash count for phone pre-diagnosis. Abdullah can often confirm the cause and which parts to bring before arriving.

Furnace Repairs and Installations in Old North
Real London Ontario Reviews
“I've lived in Old North for 28 years. Called Hawana when my Carrier furnace locked out. Abdullah here in under 90 minutes. Failed control board on a 22-year-old furnace. He explained my options with real numbers: repair at $380 or a new Goodman GR9T96 installed at $3,400. Heat exchanger was intact, so I chose repair. Furnace running fine. He told me what to watch for over the next two seasons. That honesty is exactly what Old North homeowners need.”
“Heritage home in Old North — 1940s structure with a 1998 Lennox replacement furnace. Abdullah found a hairline crack in the heat exchanger with his combustion analyzer during a tune-up. Shut it down immediately, quoted me a new Goodman GR9T96 at the same visit. Installed next week. The Premium Care Plan at $299/year is worth every cent for a home this age. TSSA certified — that matters when you live in a heritage home.”
“Sunday evening, -14 outside, no heat. Called Hawana — Abdullah in 2 hours. York furnace, ignitor failure. Part on truck, installed and tested in under an hour. $215 total. No Sunday surcharge exactly as advertised. Written report before he left. I've recommended him to three neighbours on Huron Street. This is the standard every HVAC contractor should meet.”
