01Local knowledge
What we see in Russell & Embrun homes
Most of the newer houses in both villages were built with a gas furnace and central air, and many have finished basements used as family space. As the first round of equipment ages, owners are choosing between a straight replacement and a heat pump that handles cooling and most of the heating on electricity.
Families with backyard pools are common in these subdivisions. Gas and heat pump pool heaters both work here, and the right choice depends on how early in spring you want to swim and what's already running to the yard. We install and service both kinds.
The older village centres and the farmland around them have a wider range of houses, including some that heat with oil, propane or electric baseboard. Away from the gas lines on the township's rural roads, a cold-climate heat pump is often the upgrade that pays back fastest.

HVAC in Russell & Embrun: common questions

Do you come out to Russell and Embrun?
Yes. We serve both villages and the rest of Russell Township from our Ottawa shop. In a straight line, Russell is about 32 km away and Embrun about 37 km. Estimating a new system is free.
Is a heat pump or a gas heater better for our pool?
A heat pump pool heater costs less to run but heats more slowly, so it suits pools kept warm all season. A gas heater warms the water quickly, which suits occasional use. We'll look at your pool and gas or electrical supply and recommend one.
Our house is about 15 years old. Do we need a new furnace yet?
Not necessarily. A well-maintained furnace can last longer than that. A maintenance visit will tell you its condition, and we'll be straight with you about whether it's worth keeping.
