Findlay Creek filled in south-west of Leitrim Road and Bank Street through the 2000s, 2010s and 2020s, with Claridge, Tartan, Tamarack and other builders putting up singles, bungalows and long rows of townhomes. Nearly every house has a high-efficiency gas furnace with PVC side-wall venting and a central air conditioner on a pad beside or behind the house.
It also means a lot of that equipment is the same age. Furnaces and condensers from the first phases are now 15 to 20 years old, which is when repair bills start climbing and efficiency upgrades start paying back. Streets closer to the Leitrim Wetlands tend to have newer systems that mostly need tune-ups.
Most homes also have an HRV, since the Ontario Building Code requires mechanical ventilation in new houses. Plenty of owners have never had theirs cleaned or balanced.
Furnace, AC and heat pump options for Findlay Creek homes
Builder-grade equipment works, but it’s usually the most basic model: a single-stage furnace and an entry-level air conditioner sized by rule of thumb. When it’s time to replace, Findlay Creek owners usually pick one of three paths.
- Straight upgrade: a 96–98% AFUE furnace and a current SEER2-rated AC, often with a two-stage or variable-speed blower for quieter, more even heat in two-storey homes and townhomes.
- Furnace plus heat pump: a cold-climate heat pump replaces the AC, handles most of the heating, and the gas furnace takes over in deep cold. See heat pump installation.
- Repair and carry on: if the system is under about 12 years old and one part has failed, a furnace repair or AC repair usually makes more sense.
| Project | Typical installed range |
|---|---|
| High-efficiency gas furnace (96–98% AFUE) | $4,500 – $8,500 (variable-speed/modulating up to ~$10,500) |
| Central air conditioner replacement | $4,000 – $8,000 |
| Furnace + AC combo replacement | $8,000 – $15,000 |
| Ducted cold-climate heat pump (existing ducts) | $9,000 – $18,000 |
| HRV / ERV installed | $2,500 – $5,500 |
| Furnace or AC tune-up | $120 – $200 per system |
These are typical ranges before rebates, not quotes. The final price depends on your house, the equipment you choose and the venting and ductwork involved, and estimates on new installations are free. We also check current HVAC rebates for your address.
Quieter equipment for close-set streets
With houses only a few metres apart, a loud condenser is the whole street’s problem. Current variable-speed air conditioners and heat pumps spend most of their time at low speed and run far more quietly than the 2000s units they replace.

Finishing the basement or building a deck?
Many Findlay Creek basements were left unfinished by the builder and are now becoming rec rooms or in-law suites. Before the drywall goes up is the moment to add supply and return runs, relocate an HRV duct, or rough in a BBQ gas line for the new deck.
Finishing a basement also changes the heating and cooling load. We’ll tell you plainly whether your furnace and ducts can handle the extra space, or whether a single ductless head is the cleaner fix.
If the house still has its original rental water heater, a reno is also a good time to look at rental versus owned options.
Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers from licensed Ottawa technicians. Still have a question? Call us any time.
Do you service furnaces and air conditioners in Findlay Creek?
Yes. Findlay Creek is a regular part of our south Ottawa service area. Our shop on Longfields Drive in Nepean is across the Vimy Memorial Bridge from Riverside South, so it’s a straightforward drive for our technicians. We repair all makes, install new systems and provide 24/7 emergency service whenever heat, cooling, hot water or ventilation stops working.
My Findlay Creek furnace is about 15 years old. Should I replace it?
Not automatically. A well-maintained high-efficiency furnace often lasts 15 to 20 years. If it needs a major part like an inducer motor or control board ($600 – $2,000), has needed several repairs lately, or shows heat exchanger cracks, replacement usually makes more sense. A new 96–98% AFUE furnace typically costs $4,500 – $8,500 installed, before rebates.
Does the HRV in my Findlay Creek home need maintenance?
Yes. Most HRVs here run year-round, and their filters and core collect dust and lint. Clean the filters every two to three months and have the core, condensate drain and dampers checked once a year. A neglected HRV moves less air, can drip or frost up in deep cold, and stops clearing stale, humid air from the house.
Can I add a heat pump to my existing gas furnace?
Usually, yes. In most Findlay Creek homes the furnace and ductwork can pair with a cold-climate heat pump that takes the central AC’s place. The heat pump handles cooling plus the bulk of the heating season, leaving the furnace for the coldest stretches. Ducted cold-climate heat pumps typically cost $9,000 – $18,000 installed, before rebates.
What should I do if snow blocks my furnace vent?
High-efficiency furnaces in Findlay Creek vent through white PVC pipes on a side or back wall, often close to the ground. After a heavy snowfall or drifting, clear snow away from both pipes by hand. A blocked vent makes the furnace shut itself off. If it won’t restart once the pipes are clear, call us; our emergency line runs 24/7.
Will my existing furnace heat a newly finished basement?
Often, yes. Builders size furnaces for the whole house, including the basement, and many have capacity to spare. The real question is airflow: unfinished basements usually have few supply and return runs. We check the furnace size and add or rebalance ducts before drywall. If the space still runs cold or hot, a single-zone mini-split ($3,500 – $6,500) is a tidy fix.
