1. Your Furnace Installers Should Be Red Seal Certified
Not all furnace installations are equal. A proper install affects everything from efficiency and performance to lifespan and safety. In Regina, some heating contractors rely on underqualified workers who aren’t certified in essential trades like Plumbing, Sheet Metal, Refrigeration, or Electrical — putting your home and your investment at risk.
Always ask for Red Seal certification. It’s the nationally recognized standard of excellence for skilled trades in Canada and proof your installers are trained to do the job right. At Signature Plumbing & Heating, every furnace installation is completed by certified Red Seal professionals — no shortcuts, no guesswork.
If a contractor gives you a verbal quote over the phone, be cautious. A proper furnace installation should always come with a written contract that outlines:
At Signature, our quotes are transparent and honored — so you’re never left guessing.
Price matters — but in HVAC, the lowest bid often means the most corners are being cut. That could include:
In Regina, we've even seen contractors install cheaper models and relabel them with another brand’s logo.
When a company is known for being the cheapest — not the most reliable — that's a red flag. A quality install takes time, care, and a team that’s committed to getting it right the first time.
Get a few quotes. Ask questions. Then go with your gut. Who gave you straight answers? Who took the time to explain your options? Who do you trust to take your comfort seriously?
A furnace is a major investment in your home. Choosing the right contractor can mean lower utility bills, fewer breakdowns, and long-term peace of mind. At Signature Plumbing & Heating, we’re proud to be Regina’s highest-rated and most trusted installer — and we’re ready to earn your confidence.
With nearly a century of proven reliability, AirEase products have earned a reputation for efficiency and comfort. Ducane, as part of the Lennox / AirEase family, delivers excellent value and trusted performance.
The A98MV is a 98% AFUE, ENERGY STAR® certified furnace that delivers exceptional energy savings and year-round comfort. It combines a modulating gas valve with a variable-speed blower motor, allowing it to fine-tune heat and airflow in small 5% increments — adjusting in real time to outdoor conditions and indoor comfort needs.
This advanced design ensures more consistent temperatures, reduced energy use, and quieter operation. It's also compatible with Comfort Sync™ smart thermostat technology for enhanced control and system diagnostics.
The 97G2V offers a 97% AFUE efficiency rating, helping you save on energy even during Saskatchewan’s coldest winter months. This ENERGY STAR® certified furnace qualifies for the $650 SaskEnergy Residential Equipment Replacement Rebate, helping you save even more on your upgrade.
Built for comfort and performance, the variable-speed motor starts gradually and runs quietly, maintaining ideal temperature and humidity levels while reducing energy consumption. Its two-stage gas valve adjusts heat output based on indoor and outdoor temperatures — maximizing comfort and minimizing fuel use.
Durability is built in with a crimped aluminized steel heat exchanger, designed to withstand long-term thermal stress and ensure safe ignition every time.
The colder it gets outside, the more heat your home loses — increasing demand on your furnace. Depending on the time of day and the type of furnace installed, your home may experience noticeable temperature swings. That’s why understanding the differences between single-stage, two-stage, and modulating furnaces can help you choose the right system to keep your home consistently comfortable and energy efficient.
A single-stage furnace operates with just two settings: on at full power or off. When it’s running, it always delivers heat at 100% capacity, regardless of how much your home actually needs.
A two-stage furnace operates at two levels: low and high. Most of the time, it runs in the lower stage to maintain your desired temperature efficiently, but it can switch to high output during colder weather or when a quicker temperature boost is needed.
A modulating furnace adjusts the amount of fuel it uses in small increments, providing precise temperature control and exceptional efficiency. It continuously fine-tunes its output to match your home’s exact heating needs — much like cruising on the highway with steady, minor throttle adjustments. This smooth, responsive operation reduces temperature swings, delivers consistent indoor comfort, and keeps noise to a minimum.
A variable-speed fan allows your furnace to adjust the airflow over the heat exchanger, improving efficiency and comfort. It works like the gas pedal in your car — providing smooth, gradual adjustments instead of simply switching on or off. This helps maintain more consistent temperatures while using less energy.
🔌 PSC (Permanent Split Capacitor) Motor
A PSC motor is basic and operates at only one speed — either fully on or fully off. Because it can’t adjust airflow, it runs at a constant output regardless of demand. This results in higher energy use and lower efficiency.
An ECM motor is a high-efficiency, variable-speed motor. It gradually ramps up and down based on what your thermostat calls for, providing smoother, quieter performance and better energy savings. ECM motors help maintain consistent temperatures and improve air distribution throughout your home.
Constant torque motors are a step above PSC but below full ECM. They offer better airflow consistency, quieter operation, and improved efficiency over PSC motors. While not fully variable-speed, they adjust torque to maintain performance under changing conditions.
The quality of any furnace depends entirely on who installs it.
