Five different heating systems installed this week, including four wood stoves. Here’s a look at some of the work. 🔥

On each wood stove installation, we bring the firewood and light the first of three break-in fires we recommend. While it burns, we walk the homeowner through lighting, loading, airflow, and what to expect as the stove heats up.

We install safe products and aim to exceed minimum code requirements, but proper burning practices matter just as much after we leave. Taking the time to fire the stove together helps protect your investment and makes sure you’re comfortable using it.

Thanks to everyone who trusted Kawartha Heating Solutions with their homes this week.

Some say go big or go home. We installed big and went home. 🔥

For this Madoc home, we installed a new Pacific Energy Super 27 wood stove with an ICC Excel chimney system. The before and after photos show the job inside and out.

The colder evenings are here. Is your house staying warm? Thinking about adding a fireplace or stove? We install both wood and gas, including natural gas and propane.

Is Your Furnace Ready for Heating Season?

We’re not wishing summer away — but those cooler evenings are already starting to remind us what’s coming.

Now is the time to have your furnace or fireplace serviced — before you actually need it.

A proper annual service isn’t just about making sure the heat turns on. We inspect and test the system to help ensure it’s operating safely, efficiently and reliably before another Ontario heating season.

And for the next month, we’re adding a little extra safety to every service call:

🔋 FREE SMOKE ALARM BATTERY REPLACEMENT

When KHS is at your home for a furnace or fireplace service, we’ll replace the batteries in your existing smoke alarms at no charge as part of the visit. Just our way of helping make sure more than your heating system is ready for the season ahead.

Don’t wait until the first cold night to find out your furnace or fireplace needs attention.

Today was a Fireplace service day.

A GAS FIREPLACE SERVICE IS A LOT MORE THAN CLEANING THE GLASS.

Cool morning. You grab the remote, hit the button…and nothing.

That was the situation with this fireplace. Once we got into it, the pilot was operating, but it wasn't reliably lighting the main burner. Adjusting the pilot wasn't enough, so we replaced the 3-way pilot hood and continued through a complete service of the appliance.

We tore the fireplace down — surround, glass, logs, embers and burner removed — so we could properly inspect what was happening behind the glass.

During the service we cleaned and inspected the burner and firebox, cleaned the porcelain panels and fan, checked and set the venturi, verified inlet and operating gas pressures, performed electrical/voltage testing, replaced the backup and remote-system batteries, resynchronized the remote, and tested flame modulation and fan operation.

We also rebuilt the ember bed to freshen up the flame appearance, cleaned the glass inside and out, reassembled everything and cycled the fireplace through its functions before calling the job complete.

🕷️ HERE'S SOMETHING MANY HOMEOWNERS DON'T THINK ABOUT.

Around lakes and other high-moisture locations, we regularly see moisture, corrosion and insect/spider issues in gas fireplaces — particularly appliances that sit unused with the pilot shut off for long periods.

The odorant added to propane and natural gas can be associated with insect/spider activity around gas equipment. A direct-vent termination also provides a pathway into the appliance, where the dark, protected environment can become an attractive place for insects and spiders to nest. Webs or debris in the wrong place can interfere with burner operation.

Where the appliance manufacturer permits continuous-pilot operation, leaving the pilot operating can help keep some warmth in the firebox during damp conditions. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for your particular fireplace.

That's why proper maintenance isn't just about making the fireplace look good.

Inspect it. Clean it. Test it. Make sure it operates the way it was designed to.

And before we leave, we make sure the homeowner is comfortable operating the fireplace and remote and answer any questions they have.

🔥 Warm home. Safe heat. Done right.

10 YEARS PARTS. 10 YEARS LABOUR.

When Kawartha Heating Solutions installs your new Continental furnace, we don’t disappear once the job is finished—we stand behind the equipment we install.

Continental provides a 10-year manufacturer’s parts warranty when the furnace is properly registered. KHS adds our own 10-year labour warranty, provided we complete the required annual maintenance on the system.

Annual maintenance allows us to:

✅ Keep the furnace operating safely and efficiently
✅ Catch developing problems before they become expensive repairs
✅ Maintain complete service records
✅ Protect both your parts and labour coverage

Continental furnaces are manufactured in Canada, with parts support located here in Ontario. As a longtime Continental dealer, we also carry many common furnace parts directly on our service truck.

It’s dependable Canadian heating equipment, installed and supported by a local heating specialist.

🔥 ANNUAL FURNACE SERVICE — BEFORE THE WHITE STUFF ARRIVES

Your furnace sitting quietly all summer doesn’t necessarily mean it’s ready for another Ontario winter. An annual service gives us the opportunity to properly inspect, test and operate your heating system before you need to depend on it every day.

Today’s job is a perfect example. We arrived last week for an annual furnace service and found the furnace not operating. We sourced the parts required for repair and discussed the options with the homeowner. They decided that instead of putting money into the older furnace, they wanted to move forward with a new high-efficiency system.

Annual maintenance is about more than cleaning a furnace:

✅ Health & Safety — heat exchanger inspection, CO testing, combustion, venting and safety controls.
✅ Proper Operation — gas pressure, voltage, airflow and temperature testing.
✅ Reliability — finding worn or failing components before they become a no-heat call.
✅ Insurance — helping maintain service records where maintenance is required by your insurer.
✅ Manufacturer Requirements — keeping the equipment maintained according to the manufacturer's requirements.

10 YEARS PARTS + 10 YEARS LABOUR

The manufacturer provides a 10-year parts warranty on qualifying equipment we install.

Kawartha Heating Solutions goes one step further.

On qualifying equipment we install, KHS provides a 10-year labour warranty when we perform the required annual maintenance in accordance with the manufacturer's maintenance requirements.

That means our customers can have protection on both parts AND labour for 10 years, provided the system continues receiving its required annual maintenance.

We aren't aware of another heating contractor in our area offering our customers this same 10-year labour warranty option.

And there’s another reason we want to see your furnace before the WHITE stuff arrives — time.

If we find something wrong now, we have time to diagnose it, source the correct parts and get everything operating properly before the cold weather arrives. Don't wait for the first freezing night to find out whether your furnace is ready for winter.

🔥 CARBON MONOXIDE — KNOW THE WARNING SIGNS

Carbon monoxide (CO) is colourless, odourless and impossible to detect without a working CO alarm.

Any fuel-burning appliance — including furnaces, fireplaces, wood stoves and water heaters — needs proper venting and safe operating conditions.

A few simple things every homeowner should keep in mind:

• Test your CO alarms regularly and replace them according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Never block or restrict appliance vents or combustion air openings.
• Keep exterior vents and chimney terminations clear of snow, ice and debris.
• Have fuel-burning appliances and venting systems properly maintained.
• If a CO alarm sounds, leave the home and follow the alarm manufacturer’s emergency instructions.

Sometimes the warning signs of a venting or combustion problem aren’t obvious.

If you’re unsure about the safe operation of your furnace, fireplace, wood stove or other heating equipment, give us a call. We can help confirm everything is operating safely.

🔥 KEEP THE FIRE WHERE IT BELONGS.

It’s Chimney Fire Safety Week, and with cooler nights coming, now’s the time to give your chimney some attention.

A good-looking stove doesn’t tell you what’s building up inside the chimney. Soot, creosote and blockages need attention before you settle into another season of wood heat.

At Kawartha Heating Solutions, we offer chimney sweeps, wood-burning system service and WETT inspections to help you get ready for the heating season.

✅ Have your chimney swept and your system checked.
✅ Burn dry, seasoned firewood.
✅ Follow your stove manufacturer’s operating instructions.
✅ Test your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms.

Can’t remember your last chimney sweep? Let’s get it booked.
