KeepRite has been keeping Canadian homes warm for more than 50 years, and in that time they’ve earned a reputation for reliable and high-quality products. They have a range of models available depending on your needs, including more affordable standard-efficiency options with ratings of 80 percent AFUE and higher (though these are meant for the USA market), high-efficiency models with ratings up to 98 percent AFUE, and options for both gas and propane furnaces. Beyond that, each unit is tested before being delivered, and many come with a 20-year warranty on the heat exchanger.

This furnace has worked quite well for my three-bedroom house in Duluth. Even in the middle of winter. I have seen a forty percent drop in my average gas bills since the system became operational. I have been using the furnace for seven years now. During that time, I have only had one crucial service call to replace the gas inlet valve. Thanks to my warranty, regular change of air filters have ensured the system continues to run efficiently.

My first furnace came with the house. As a result, when it started getting noisy and blowing cold air, barely one year after I moved in. I did not want to sink my money into something I knew little about. Consequently, after some research, I settled on buying the York TM9V. Its 96 percent efficiency rating meant that the upfront installation cost and purchase were a bit high. However, I expect to make great savings from the high efficiency of this furnace. It has been two great years with this furnace and it has no problems at all. I expect it to stay this way for at least another twenty years.

A reputable company in my town installed the furnace; something I attribute to its reliability four years after installation. The warranty terms were quite favorable, so I decided to take a full ten-year warranty. This has greatly contributed to the low running and maintenance costs. Except for a few issues, last year, which was covered by the warranty. The system has been running quite smoothly.

This unit was actually installed by my aunt. On the winter of 2012, when she installed it. Despite the house, being old and poorly insulated. This powerful furnace still managed to keep the house warm enough. My only regret is that I live so far away. As a result, I will not be able to carry the furnace with me.
