A healthy gas furnace burns with a steady blue flame. A yellow or orange flame indicates incomplete combustion and a potential carbon monoxide risk. Shut the system off, and if your carbon monoxide alarm sounds or you feel unwell, leave the building, call 911 from outside and contact FortisBC at 1-800-663-9911. Do not restart the furnace until it has been inspected by a licensed gas contractor.

Most gas furnaces last around 15 to 20 years with regular annual servicing. A furnace that has not been maintained may fail considerably earlier, and efficiency declines as systems age. Annual servicing extends lifespan, keeps the manufacturer warranty valid and lets you plan replacement on your own schedule rather than during a winter breakdown.

The common guide is the 50 percent rule: if a major repair quote exceeds roughly half the cost of replacement and the furnace is over 12 years old, replacement usually delivers better long-term value. Frequent repairs across two or more seasons point the same way. Vanheat Services provides both a repair quote and a replacement quote in writing so you can compare them, rather than being pushed toward one option.
