A little rain didn’t stop us from enjoying this year’s AirZone Employee Appreciation Day last week!

Our annual golf day gave everyone a chance to step away after another busy Ottawa summer, spend time together and recognize the people who keep AirZone moving every day.

Thank you to our technicians, installers, office staff, sales team and everyone working behind the scenes. We’re proud of the team we’ve built and grateful to the Ottawa homeowners who continue to place their trust in us.

Congratulations to this year’s tournament winners—and thank you to everyone who made it such a great day!

We would also like to thank our customers for continuing to trust AirZone with the comfort of their homes and businesses. Your support means a great deal to our entire team.

Have you received a notice from Enbridge Gas or Lakeside Gas recently? We’ve seen an increase in the number of gas meters being replaced throughout the Ottawa area.

During a meter replacement, Enbridge Gas or Lakeside Gas may also need access to your home to inspect the gas appliances and piping before restoring service. This is a legitimate safety check to help ensure your home’s gas equipment is operating safely.

If you know a visit is coming, consider booking an HVAC maintenance appointment with AirZone ahead of time. We can inspect your equipment, identify potential concerns and help make sure your system is operating safely and is up to date.

If you’ve already received a red tag, we can inspect the affected equipment, complete the necessary HVAC repairs and help with the clearance process. Sometimes a red tag results from a relatively minor issue, but it can still be a stressful and confusing experience for the homeowner.

That’s why we’ve put together helpful information for Ottawa homeowners explaining what to expect, how to prepare for the visit, what happens if your gas is left off and answers to other common questions.

Boilers often provide warning signs before they stop heating—if you know what to watch for.

Schedule boiler service if you notice:

• Banging, gurgling or whistling sounds
• Uneven heat from radiators or rooms
• Frequent cycling or changing system pressure
• Water around the boiler or nearby piping
• Heating costs increasing without a change in usage

Homeowners can safely check for visible leaks and keep the area surrounding the boiler clear. Testing combustion, venting, circulation pumps and safety controls should be left to a qualified HVAC technician.

Professional boiler maintenance can uncover small circulation, corrosion or control problems before they cause a no-heat emergency.

If your boiler hasn’t been inspected recently, late summer is an ideal time to have it checked—before the first cold Ottawa morning puts it under heavy demand.

HRV or ERV? Here’s the part many Ottawa homeowners don’t hear.

Both systems replace stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air while recovering energy from the air leaving your home. The key difference is moisture: an HRV transfers heat, while an ERV transfers heat and some moisture.

A practical starting point:

• Excess winter humidity or condensation on your windows? An HRV may provide better moisture removal.

• Uncomfortably dry winter air? An ERV may help retain some indoor moisture.

• Stale odours or stuffy rooms despite having a system? Check the filters and make sure the outdoor intake and exhaust hoods are clear.

If those basic checks do not solve the problem, the unit may need cleaning, control adjustments or airflow balancing. Correct sizing, ductwork and balancing matter just as much as choosing HRV versus ERV.

We install, service, repair and balance HRV and ERV systems throughout Ottawa.

Late August is a smart time to give your heating system a brief test—before the first cold Ottawa night arrives. Raise the thermostat a few degrees and let the system run for 10–15 minutes. Confirm it starts normally, listen for unfamiliar noises and make sure the thermostat responds.

A light dusty smell may occur after months of inactivity, but it should clear quickly. If an odour persists, the system makes unusual sounds or fails to heat properly, turn it off and arrange service. Checking now leaves time to address a problem before heating-season demand rises.

Is your furnace filter due for attention? A clogged filter restricts airflow, makes your furnace work harder, and can affect your home’s comfort and indoor air quality. Regular filter checks are especially important before winter here in Ottawa. If you need help choosing the correct filter or preparing your furnace for heating season, book fall furnace maintenance with our team at AirZone HVAC Services. We are here to help!

Choosing the right Moovair system starts with your home — not just the equipment.

If you already have a furnace and want efficient summer cooling, the Moovair Maelys air conditioner may be the right fit. If you have ductwork and want heating and cooling from one central system, a Central-MOOV heat pump may make more sense. If you need room-by-room comfort, a Moovair ductless mini split or multi-zone system could be the better solution.

These recent AirZone installations show different Moovair options for Ottawa-area homes, including Nepean, Gloucester, Kanata, Orleans, and Ottawa.

At AirZone HVAC Services, we help homeowners compare the options, understand the installation type, and choose the best value for their comfort goals.

We help you maximize the cold climate heat pump rebates to get the best value possible for your home heating and cooling system.

Is your old air conditioner struggling during the Ottawa heat?

Before you replace it, there is an important 2026 decision to consider:

Should you install a new air conditioner quickly, or wait for Home Renovation Savings Program approval and choose a qualifying cold-climate heat pump?

A standard AC replacement may be the best choice if you need cooling as soon as possible. But if you can wait for rebate approval, a heat pump may offer better long-term value with cooling, efficient heating during milder weather, and backup comfort if your furnace ever has an issue.

For some rural Ottawa homeowners using propane, oil, electricity, or wood, the rebate opportunity may be even stronger.

AirZone HVAC Services helps homeowners compare both options clearly so they can make the right decision for their home, comfort, and budget.
