Our FAQs

Providing You With Answers & Solutions
  • What size water heater do I need?

    The correct water heater size for your home in Whitby, Ontario, depends on a variety of factors, including the number and kind of fixtures, the flow rate of sinks, dishwashers, and showers, as well as the local climate in your area.

    Your choice of water heater size will additionally be influenced by the features of your home, the size of your household, and how frequently you use hot water each day. Therefore, it is advised to have an HVAC technician carry out a thorough calculation that correlates with your specific needs to ensure you purchase the proper water heater for your home.

    A skilled professional can give advice on the kind of water heater that is best for your needs and has the necessary capacity, and they are able to assist you in calculating your peak hot water need for continuous use. With this specific strategy, you can be sure that your water heater will effectively satisfy your need for hot water while using very little energy.

  • What are the benefits of duct cleaning?

    Over time, as your HVAC system is used season after season, contaminants like dust, mold and mildew can build up in your air duct system. These buildups can also cause unpleasant smells to permeate your home.

    That’s not ideal for your health or home comfort.

    The benefits of having your ducts cleaned means you can:

    • Cleaner indoor air for you and your family
    • Reduction of allergy symptoms from removal of airborne contaminants
    • No more bad smells that build up in your ducts
    • Improved air flow in your ducts for efficient year-round heating & cooling
  • Is it better to rent or buy a water heater in Canada?

    If you’re unsure whether it makes more sense to rent or buy a water heater in Canada, take a look at the pros and cons of both below:
    Buying:

    • Cost up front: Purchasing a new unit will be more expensive upfront than renting. Although it may be costly, doing this ensures that you own the machinery.
    • Long-term savings: Owning a water heater may turn out to be more affordable in the long run. You can get back your initial investment and avoid paying monthly leasing fees.
    • Maintenance and repairs: You are responsible for paying for repairs and maintenance, which could add to your expenses. Nevertheless, this provides you more authority over the standard of upkeep and any improvements you might want.
    • Model of choice: You have the option to select the precise brand and type of water heater you desire, enabling you to pick one that is more energy-efficient or meets your needs.

    Renting:

    • Lower upfront costs: Since you don’t have to buy the water heater, renting often has a lower upfront cost. The price is divided up into recurring lease payments every month.
    • Maintenance and repairs: Maintenance and repairs are typically the responsibility of who you’re renting it from.
    • Long-term costs: Although renting has cheaper up-front costs, the total amount of monthly rent over time can be more expensive than buying a water heater.
    • Limited options: Rental companies might give you a stock model, and you might not have many options in terms of brand and efficiency ratings.

    Ultimately, whether you choose to rent or buy your water heater will depend on your unique needs and budget.

  • Does duct cleaning remove mold?

    Mold is one of the nastier things that can build up in your air ducts, and a thorough cleaning can help remove it.

    Mold can be particularly dangerous for people to breathe in and an infestation of this unfriendly fungus can grow worse if not treated; a duct cleaning solution from the pros at Limcan Certified will ensure that any mold in your air ducts is safely extracted.

  • What is the life expectancy of a hot water tank?

    How long a water heater lasts can depend on a variety of factors, including the type of water heater, the quality of the water flowing through your home’s plumbing, prior service records, and patterns of consumption. However, the following figures are given for the life expectancy of different kinds of water heaters:

    • Tank water heaters: The lifespan of conventional tank water heaters is typically between 8 and 12 years because they heat and store water in a tank. With regular maintenance, such as emptying the tank to eliminate sediment, they can operate longer, although they are typically less efficient over time than contemporary tankless heater designs that don’t store any water.
    • Tankless water heater: Tankless water heaters have a lifespan that is far longer than traditional ones, usually 15 to 20 years or more. Periodic cleaning is required as part of standard upkeep for areas with hard water to keep them working efficiently.

    Now is a great time to consider replacing your home’s water heater if it has come to the end of its anticipated lifespan in order to avoid unforeseen problems and serious water damage.

    Reach out to the professional team at Limcan Certified to schedule a consultation appointment with a home comfort advisor to learn more about the options available to you! We’ll give you the inside scoop on your current discounts and financing options as well so you can save big on your new heater! In addition, our home comfort advisors will also give you a complimentary new system purchase quote! We look forward to partnering with you!

  • Will duct cleaning help allergies?

    Yes, duct cleaning can help with certain allergy symptoms you’re experiencing in your home.

    Much of the dust and contaminants that build up in your air ducts can irritate allergy symptoms and make them worse.

    Duct cleaning can reduce the level of these contaminants to help reduce allergy symptoms and allow you to breathe easier.

  • Will cleaning the ducts in my house make me sick?

    The actual act of duct cleaning is unlikely to make you sick.

    On the other hand, allowing contaminants to build up in your ducts over time, however, can cause health risks, as they have an adverse effect on the air you’re breathing indoors.
    We do recommend you do not attempt to clean your home’s ducts yourself; this is a job best left to professionals with the right equipment.

  • How much does it cost to fix electrical problem in a house?

    The cost for an electrical contractor to fix existing or ongoing electrical problems in your house varies drastically based on a wide range of issues.

    There are several factors at play, including:

    • The size of your home
    • Severity of the problem
    • A technician’s diagnosis, following a thorough inspection

    Providing a hard estimate is difficult without knowing any of the above.

    However, we do recommend that if you are concerned about electrical problems in your home, you call in a professional to take a look; it is NOT advisable to delay or leave the problem because of worries about price. Ignoring electrical problems could lead to much more dangerous issues down the road.

  • Will duct cleaning help improve airflow/HVAC performance?

    Yes: cleaning your ducts can help improve their airflow and the overall performance of your HVAC system.

    While the primary concern with duct cleaning is to ensure the air that’s moving through them and into your home is free of dangerous contaminants and healthy to breathe, it can also help increase the quality of your heating & air conditioning system for maximized home comfort all year long.

  • How long will duct cleaning take?

    Duct cleaning usually takes between 4 and 6 hours.

    How long it takes exactly will vary depending on the size of your home, as larger homes have more ducts.

    The length of time it takes will also depend on when your home’s ducts were last cleaned and how much debris needs to be removed.

  • What should I do if an electrical outlet is not working in my house?

    If an electrical outlet is not working in your home, check the breaker and switch it fully off and on.

    If this does not fix the problem, call us at tel:(289) 367-5549 or book a home electrical service online today.

  • What should I do if water gets into an electrical outlet?

    If water has made its way into an electrical outlet in your home, turn off the breaker and search for the cause.

    See if it’s a major or minor amount of water – for example, is it just a one-off issue? Or has a pipe burst or started leaking?

    Determining the cause of the problem will help you know who to call, as you may also need a plumber in the event the issue is related to your home’s pipes.

    Once you know the cause of the problem, give us a call at (365) 802-5748 or book a home electrical service online today.

    • Labour costs: The cost of labour varies based on your location, the level of experience of the HVAC professional, and the amount of time needed to identify and fix the issue.
    • Materials and parts: A sizable portion of the overall cost will go toward the price of replacement materials and components, should they be required. The fee may vary depending on the kind and brand of parts.

  • What is the most common furnace problem?

    The most common furnace repairs our technicians have diagnosed and fixed throughout the years include the following: 

    • Unclean or clogged filters: Probably the most prevalent problem. Filters accumulate dirt and debris over time that can obstruct airflow. When they are left unchanged for longer, it lowers furnace performance and may lead to overheating.
    • Thermostat malfunctions: When a thermostat malfunctions, your home may experience uncomfortable temperatures or problems with the heating cycle.
    • Lack of maintenance: As components age and efficiency declines, skipping routine maintenance can cause a number of issues over time. Many of these problems can be avoided with regular maintenance.
    • Wear and tear on parts: As time passes, a number of components may begin to wear out and eventually stop working altogether.
    • Frequent cycling: Problems with inadequate airflow, a clogged filter, or thermostat malfunctions can all lead to short cycling, which is the furnace turning on and off often.
    • Lack of heat: One of the most common complaints is that there is either too little or no heat being produced. This can be caused by a number of different difficulties, such as faults with the fuel supply, thermostat, or ignition system.

    Is your home’s furnace not working as well as it used to? If so, there may be something broken internally that needs to be diagnosed and repaired by a professional. Limcan Certified has years of experience partnering with homeowners throughout Whitby and the surrounding areas. No matter the size or scope of the issue at hand, you can rest assured knowing your home is in good hands.

  • What does a furnace repair include?

    While each repair appointment may look a little different, here are some general steps a technician will take to repair your home’s heating system:

    • Diagnostic assessment: A comprehensive analysis will be done to determine the main cause of the issue.
    • Part replacement: Depending on the problem, a technician may repair or replace worn-out or damaged parts, such as igniters, blower motors, fan, coils, and more. 
    • Thermostat calibration: Once the repair is made, a technician will adjust and calibrate the thermostat to ensure you can control your indoor temperature. 
    • Safety checks: This generally includes checking the gas pressure, looking for carbon monoxide leaks, inspecting electrical wiring, and making sure all the safety measures are working.
    • Testing and efficiency checks: Lastly, the technician will check the overall efficiency of your furnace by ensuring the repair was successful. 

    If you suspect that your home’s furnace is broken, we recommend reaching out to the team at Limcan Certified as soon as possible. A damaged heat exchanger is potentially dangerous and needs to be repaired immediately.

  • Can furnace last 40 years?

    No, your furnace unit cannot last 40 years. Generally speaking, your home’s furnace system has a service life of 15 to 20 years before it will need to be replaced. Therefore, no matter how well you take care of your home’s heating system, the longest you will be able to keep it in working order is 20 years. However, like all home appliances, there are opportunities for damage to occur, especially if you do not take proper care of your heating system. This is why it is highly essential that homeowners schedule a professional maintenance appointment with the team at Limcan Certified Heating and Air Conditioning at least once a year. By booking an annual appointment, you can ensure that your heating system is operating optimally for you and your needs while identifying any potential problems before they become more severe and costly.

    When was the last time you had your home’s heating system professionally serviced? If you can’t remember or it has been over a year since your last appointment, please do not hesitate to reach out to the team at Limcan Certified Heating and Air Conditioning. We are available 24/7/365 days a year and do not charge homeowners an additional service fee for appointments booked after-hours, on weekends, or during holidays!
