Heating in Heritage Valley
What Fails in Heritage Valley, and Why

Notes from Heritage Valley service calls
Heritage Valley covers a range of build years within one area. Rutherford and MacEwan filled in first, and their builder-grade furnaces are now old enough for the parts that wear with cycling: igniters, flame sensors, blower capacitors and the odd inducer motor. Chappelle and the newer sections are younger, and the calls there lean toward venting and airflow rather than worn parts. Across all of it, the HRV is the forgotten appliance. Plenty of owners have never opened theirs since taking possession, and a clogged core or filters restrict fresh air all winter and can freeze in a cold snap.
An HRV service with a core clean, new filters and a balance check runs $129 to $229, a typical Edmonton range confirmed in writing before any work starts. Bonus rooms over the garage are standard in this part of the city and are the most common comfort complaint, usually because the supply run is long and the room sits over an unheated space. Heat pump and central AC installation are frequent questions from Heritage Valley homeowners, and a ducted cold-climate heat pump paired with the existing furnace suits many of these houses. Before any new equipment goes in, a technician should confirm the existing ducts can carry the airflow.

Before We Arrive
Four Things Worth Doing First
Some no-heat calls end at step one. The rest go faster when we know what the furnace did before it stopped.
Step 1: Check the Basics
Thermostat set to heat and above room temperature, batteries, the furnace switch and breaker, and a filter that isn't grey and bowed.
Step 2: Look at the Vents
From outside, find the two white PVC pipes. Snow drifted over them or a ring of frost inside is the most common cold-snap shutdown.
Step 3: Read the Blink Code
Count the flashes on the board through the sight glass on the blower door. The chart is inside the door. It saves diagnostic time.
Step 4: Send the Request
Community, furnace age if you know it, what it's doing and the blink code. We reply with an arrival window for Heritage Valley.
