Should I Close Vents in Rooms I Don't Use?
In terms of heating your home, obstructing the vents in empty spaces will result in more harm than benefit. To save energy, it’s essential to keep the airflow open in every room of your house since heating it can consume a sizable portion of your power bills. You might also want to have your furnace or air ducts sanitized by a qualified HVAC business to ensure that the air is flowing across your residence properly. We advise property owners to schedule a duct cleaning appointment every year. As a result, you will be able to warm your home effectively throughout most of the cold season without consuming a lot of energy because your ductwork will be free of any dust, hair, dirt, and other debris that may be causing obstructions. As a result, you can reduce your heating expenses as well!

What Size Hot Water Tank Do I Need?
The number and kind of fixtures, the flow rate of baths, washing machines, dishwashers, and sinks, in addition to the local climate and underground temperature, all play a role in determining the right water heater size.
The size of your water heater will additionally depend on the particulars of your house, the number of members in your household, and how often you use hot water daily. To make sure you get the right water heater, it is advisable to have an HVAC specialist perform a detailed calculation based on your unique demands.
An expert can offer guidance on what kind of water heater is the best choice for what you require, as well as help you determine your peak hot water demand for simultaneous usage. So, if you’re in the market for a new water heater in your home and are looking to upgrade to a tankless model, don’t hesitate to reach out to the team at Romaniuk Heating and Air Conditioning!
During your consultation appointment, a member of our home comfort advisor team will give you more information about the types of tankless models we offer, as well as the inside scoop into our current discounts and flexible financing options!

What Shortens the Life of a Water Heater?
A water heater’s lifespan can be shortened by several things.
Here is a closer look:
- Sediment buildup: In a conventional tank water heater, as time passes, sediment, minerals, and debris may accumulate at the bottom of the tank. The heating element or burner may become insulated as a result of losing efficiency and even overheating or corroding.
- Corrosion: In tank water heaters, in particular, corrosion can happen over time. Anode rods are used to stop erosion, but once they run out, decline might harm the tank.
- High water pressure: The parts of the water heater may be stressed by high water pressure, which could result in leaks, deterioration, or a shorter service life.
- Temperature fluctuations: Frequent temperature changes can cause the reservoir to expand and compress, which wears down the tank and connections.
- Disregarding maintenance: By not performing routine maintenance and swiftly resolving problems, an appliance’s efficiency and longevity may be shortened.
- Inadequate ventilation: Gas water heaters may experience combustion issues due to insufficient ventilation, which may shorten their lifespan.
- Excessive demand: Continuously putting the water heater through high-demand circumstances, including taking long showers, operating several appliances at once, or running dishwashers and washing machines while taking a shower, could decrease its longevity.
- Poor installation: A water heater that has been placed incorrectly may suffer from ineffectiveness, safety risks, and early deterioration.
Is your home’s water heater at the end of its lifespan? If so, it may be time to install a brand-new tankless water heater in your Edmonton home, and the team at Romaniuk Heating and Air Conditioning is here to make it happen!

Do You Need a Permit to Replace a Hot Water Tank in Alberta?
The requirement for a permit to replace a hot water tank in Alberta can vary depending on the local building codes and regulations of the specific municipality or jurisdiction where the replacement is taking place. In some areas of Alberta, a permit may be required for water heater replacements, especially if it involves changes to the electrical, gas, or plumbing systems.
The best thing you can do is reach out to your local HVAC company for assistance. At the same time, it’s important to note that homeowners should not install a hot water tank in their homes unless they have the required qualifications and professional expertise to ensure the water heater installation is conducted correctly and safely.

Duct Cleaning
-
Should I Try to Clean My Own Ducts?
No. We do not recommend you attempt to clean your home’s ducts yourself; this is a job best left to professionals with the right equipment.
Contact the pros at Romaniuk to learn more or schedule a duct cleaning today.
-
How Often Should I Have My Ducts Cleaned?
Romaniuk recommends you have your ducts cleaned every two years.
A thorough duct cleaning will eliminate the buildup of debris and can remove potentially harmful contaminants like allergens and mold.
If you’re experiencing increased allergy symptoms or an unpleasant smell coming from your ducts, a duct cleaning could help.
-
How Long Will Duct Cleaning Take?
Duct cleaning usually takes between 4 and 6 hours.
How long it takes exactly will vary depending on the size of your home, as larger homes have more ducts.
The length of time it takes will also depend on when your home’s ducts were last cleaned and how much debris needs to be removed.
-
Will Duct Cleaning Help Improve Airflow/HVAC Performance?
Yes: cleaning your ducts can help improve their airflow and the overall performance of your HVAC system.
While the primary concern with duct cleaning is to ensure the air that’s moving through them and into your home is free of dangerous contaminants and healthy to breathe, it can also help increase the quality of your heating & air conditioning system for maximized home comfort all year long.
-
Will Cleaning the Ducts in My House Make Me Sick?
The actual act of duct cleaning is unlikely to make you sick.
On the other hand, allowing contaminants to build up in your ducts over time, however, can cause health risks, as they hurt the air you’re breathing indoors.
We do recommend you do not attempt to clean your home’s ducts yourself; this is a job best left to professionals with the right equipment.
-
Will Duct Cleaning Help Allergies?
Yes, duct cleaning can help with certain allergy symptoms you’re experiencing in your home.
Much of the dust and contaminants in your air ducts can irritate allergy symptoms and worsen them.
Duct cleaning can reduce the level of these contaminants to help relieve allergy symptoms and allow you to breathe more easily.
-
Does Duct Cleaning Remove Mold?
Mold is one of the nastier things that can build up in your air ducts, and a thorough cleaning can help remove it.
Mold can be particularly dangerous for people to breathe in and an infestation of this unfriendly fungus can grow worse if not treated; a duct cleaning solution from the pros at Romaniuk will ensure that any mold in your air ducts is safely extracted.
-
What Are the Benefits of Duct Cleaning?
Over time, as your HVAC system is used season after season, contaminants like dust, mold, and mildew can build up in your air duct system. These buildups can also cause unpleasant smells to permeate your home.
That’s not ideal for your health or home comfort.
The benefits of having your ducts cleaned means you can:
- Cleaner indoor air for you and your family
- Reduction of allergy symptoms from removal of airborne contaminants
- No more bad smells that build up in your ducts
- Improved airflow in your ducts for efficient year-round heating & cooling
-
-
Heat Pumps
-
Can Heat Pumps Use Existing Ductwork?
Yes, heat pumps can often utilize existing ductwork in a home. However, there are a couple of factors to consider beforehand:
- Duct Condition: The ductwork will need to be in good condition, with no major leaks, damage, or excessive dirt and debris. Leaky ducts can result in energy loss and decreased efficiency.
- Duct Size and Design: The ductwork should be correctly sized and constructed to accommodate the capacity of the heat pump. Changes may be required in some cases to ensure proper integration and optimal performance.
- Ductwork Compatibility: Depending on the type of heat pump you have and how it operates, your existing ductwork may or may not be suitable. Specific systems may necessitate special duct configurations or adjustments.
If you are unsure whether or not your home’s current duct system would be compatible with a new heat pump system, we highly suggest reaching out to a professional and experienced HVAC company in Edmonton for assistance. A certified HVAC technician should be able to inspect your existing ductwork and determine its current condition and suitability for a heat pump installation. They can also advise on any necessary changes or upgrades to ensure optimal performance moving forward.
Therefore, if you’re thinking about installing a new heat pump in your Edmonton home but aren’t sure whether your current air duct system would work, please do not hesitate to reach out to the team at Romaniuk Heating and Air Conditioning for assistance!
The team at Romaniuk Heating and Air Conditioning is available 24/7/365 days a year for repair appointments! That includes after-hours, weekends, and holidays at no extra cost to you, ever! Furthermore, if you want to save money on your new heat pump equipment, make sure to ask us about our fantastic seasonal discounts and financing options to offset some initial costs!

-
Can I Add a Heat Pump to My Existing Furnace?
Yes, you can combine a heat pump with your existing furnace to create a “hybrid” heating system. This configuration incorporates the cost-effectiveness of a heat pump with the dependability of a furnace, enabling you to easily switch between the two depending on weather conditions and energy costs.
The advantages of adding a heat pump to your furnace include:
- Energy Efficiency: You can benefit from a heat pump’s high efficiency during mild weather conditions, potentially lowering your heating costs.
- Consistent Comfort: The dual-fuel system keeps your home warm no matter what the outside temperature is.
- Cost Savings: By using the heat pump when it is most efficient and the furnace when necessary, you can maximize your energy use and possibly save money on heating costs.
To evaluate your existing furnace, determine compatibility with a heat pump, and ensure proper installation, consult with a qualified HVAC technician in Edmonton like the ones at Romaniuk Heating and Air Conditioning for assistance!
Call and schedule a consultation appointment with one of our Home Comfort Advisors at Romaniuk Heating and Air Conditioning in Edmonton to learn more about our current discounts and financing options! Homeowners will also get a complimentary new system purchase quote during their at-home consultation appointment! We look forward to partnering with you!
-
Do You Still Need a Furnace With a Heat Pump?
It depends on where you live. Canada’s vast geography includes a variety of climate zones. In a lot of cases, a heat pump can provide efficient year-round air conditioners and heaters without the need for backup heating in milder coastal areas like British Columbia. However, for those in Alberta, a supplementary heating system with a heat pump may be your best option.
During the harsh winter months throughout Edmonton, when outdoor temperatures drop well below freezing, the efficiency of an air-source heat pump can suffer significantly as the amount of heat energy in the exterior air is limited. This means that your heat pump will have to work incredibly hard to keep up with your home’s heat demands. In turn, you’re going to be using more energy without being able to heat your home to your liking. As such, relying solely on a heat pump for heating in these areas may cause discomfort during the coldest months.
As a result, many Edmonton homeowners choose dual-fuel systems, which integrate a heat pump with a furnace or another backup heating source. This enables automatic switching between the two systems concerning outdoor temperatures, ensuring maximum comfort and efficiency, particularly during cold spells.
That said, your budget will determine whether you install a backup heating system alongside a heat pump. While heat pumps provide long-term energy savings, installing a backup system will come with an extra cost.
Therefore, we recommend homeowners schedule a consultation appointment with the team at Romaniuk Heating and Air Conditioning to get a better idea about what options are available. If an existing air-conditioning or heating system fails during a heat wave or cold snap, we also provide same-day and next-day installation appointments!

-
How Often Should I Get Furnace Maintenance?

Romaniuk’s HVAC technicians will look for any potential problems with the main parts of your furnace, allowing them to proactively repair them before they cause a major issue when you need your home heating system the most.
-
Will Furnace Maintenance Save Me Money?
Furnace maintenance can help you identify any potential problems with your home’s heating system before they cause a breakdown, which means you’ll avoid the cost of any future repairs that may have resulted from letting the problem persist.
These potential savings are the main reason it’s a good idea to get a furnace tune-up in the late summer or early fall months: act now so you don’t have to pay more later.
-
Is Furnace Maintenance Necessary? Why Do I Need a Tune-Up?
Furnace maintenance is an important part of preparing for fall & winter.
Getting ready for the chillier months (not to mention the downright frozen ones) means making sure your home’s heating system is ready to run at top quality to keep you comfortable from autumn until April.
A tune-up is essential because it allows our HVAC technicians to check for any issues with the core components of your furnace – heat exchanger, igniter & pilot lights, burners, gas valve, thermocouple, flame sensor, draft inducer motor, pressure switch, blower motor & return air filter.
Any issues that may hinder your furnace’s performance can then be addressed, ensuring there are no interruptions to your home comfort throughout the colder months.
The proactive nature of furnace maintenance also means you can avoid nasty, expensive, middle-of-the-night repairs during a classic Canadian cold snap, giving you peace of mind all winter long.

Air Conditioning Installation

How Do I Prepare My Home for an AC Installation?
If you have an upcoming air conditioner installation appointment, preparing your home is essential to ensuring your installation runs effortlessly from start to finish. Here is a closer look at how you can prepare your home:
- Clear the work area beforehand: Get rid of any obstacles or clutter from the areas where the indoor and outdoor cooling units will be installed. This includes furnishings, plants, decor, and anything else that could interfere with the installation.
- Pets and children should be kept safe: During the installation, keep your pets and children away from the installation sites. To avoid accidents or disruptions, keep them in a different part of the house or yard where they are supervised.
- Safeguard your valuables: Cover or move valuable or fragile decor near the installation area to keep them clean and undamaged throughout the installation process.
- Clear pathways: Make a path from the entrance to the installation area so that technicians can bring in all the necessary supplies and equipment without being obstructed.
- Protect flooring: To avoid damage to your flooring, consider using drop cloths or protective coverings.
If at all possible, schedule your installation during a time when you will be present or have someone you trust oversee the process. This will allow you to deal with any concerns or questions as soon as they come up. Beyond this, if you still have questions regarding your upcoming installation appointment in Edmonton, please do not hesitate to reach out to the team at Romaniuk Heating and Air Conditioning!

What to Check Before Installing AC?

- Hire an HVAC company: Homeowners should partner with an HVAC company that is licensed and reputable. To ensure they are qualified for the job, check their credentials, experience, and customer reviews.
- Budget: Create a budget for the installation that includes both equipment and labor costs. Make certain that you know the financial elements needed to get the job done right.
- Warranty and maintenance: Check your AC unit’s warranty and familiarize yourself with any maintenance requirements to keep it valid. Make plans for routine maintenance as needed.

Is Installing AC Difficult?
Yes, installing an air conditioner can be difficult, and it should only be done by a professional HVAC technician.
Here’s a closer look as to why:
- Equipment Complexity: Modern air conditioners are extremely complex. Installing all of this equipment correctly necessitates a thorough understanding that only a certified HVAC technician will know how to do it properly.
- Electrical Knowledge: Proper electrical connections are essential for the safe and effective operation of an air conditioning unit. Electrical hazards, malfunctions, and even fires can result from improper wiring. A trained technician can handle these electrical aspects safely.
- Optimal Positioning: The location of the indoor and outdoor units is not chosen at random. It entails assessing factors such as airflow, insulation quality, and accessibility. A professional will place the units in the most efficient locations for cooling.
- Sizing and Efficiency: Choosing the appropriate size AC unit for your home is critical for efficiency. An oversized unit will cause short cycling and higher energy bills, whereas a small unit will not adequately cool the space. A load calculation will be conducted by technicians who consider several factors needed to select the correct size unit for your Edmonton home.
- Considerations for Warranty: Many manufacturers require professional installation to validate the air conditioning system’s warranty. Doing it-yourself installation may void your warranty, potentially costing you more money in the long run.
As you can see, installing an air conditioning system yourself is not something to undertake if you do not have the experience or professional knowledge of how to do so. Therefore, if you’re in the market for a new air conditioner in Edmonton, the team at Romaniuk Heating and Air Conditioning is here to help you choose and install a suitable unit for your needs!
We recommend contacting the team to set up an in-home consultation with a home comfort advisor! During this consultation, you will be able to learn more about our fantastic offers and financing options, as well as get a no-obligation new system purchase quote!

How Do I Change My Air Filter?
Although changing an HVAC air filter is a routine maintenance job that should be performed every 1 to 3 months, there are several reasons why you should avoid doing so yourself and have a professional HVAC technician do so instead:
- Systems of Complexity: HVAC systems are complex, involving numerous components such as electrical wiring, refrigeration fluid lines, and fragile mechanisms. Mishandling any of these parts during a filter change can result in expensive damage or system failure.
- Risks to Safety: Handling electrical components, particularly near live circuits, poses safety hazards, including the possibility of electrical shocks or fires if done incorrectly.
- Sizing: Choosing the correct filter size and type is critical for efficient operation. Professionals can choose the best filter for your system based on what it needs.
- Airflow Direction: It is critical to install the filter with the correct airflow direction to ensure proper system operation. Filters that are misaligned may interfere with airflow and adversely affect efficiency.
- Warranty Protection: Do-it-yourself filter replacement may void your HVAC system’s warranty. Professional maintenance is frequently required by manufacturers to preserve warranty coverage.
- System Check: During routine maintenance, HVAC technicians can perform system testing to identify and troubleshoot any issues that go beyond filter replacement, ensuring that the entire system runs smoothly.
Ultimately, if you need a filter change and you haven’t had your home’s air conditioning system serviced in a while, we suggest booking a maintenance appointment to ensure your equipment is operating efficiently and safely. Technicians will also change your air filter!
-
Why Is My Air Conditioner Leaking Condensation? Should I Be Worried?
If your air conditioner leaks moisture, it is not usually a cause for immediate concern, but it should be addressed. Condensation is naturally produced by the air conditioning system as a result of the cooling cycle, and this water has to be acquired and drained properly. Excessive or odd condensation, on the other hand, can indicate underlying issues that must be addressed.
Here are some typical causes of uncommon condensation:
- Clogged or dirty drain lines.
- Frozen or dirty evaporator coils.
- Your air conditioner system was improperly installed.
- Your indoor humidity levels are higher than normal.
- There is something wrong with the refrigerant levels in your unit.
- You have a damaged or cracked drain line.
Ignoring what’s going on can lead to water damage, mold growth, and other issues in the long run. To avoid further complications, have your air conditioner inspected and repaired as soon as possible. Managing the root cause of moisture leakage is usually a simple repair for an experienced HVAC technician.
-
Why Is My Air Conditioner Freezing Up?
Freezing air conditioning systems is a common problem caused by a variety of factors. Ice formation on evaporator coils or any of the other parts affects the cooling process, lowering efficiency and possibly leading to damage.
The following are some of the most common causes of AC freezing:
- Low Refrigerant: Insufficient refrigerant levels cause the evaporator coils to become excessively cold, which is frequently caused by leaks.
- Poor Airflow: Low airflow across the coils can cause freezing; this can be caused by blocked air filters, closed vents, or blower motor issues.
- Thermostat Issues: Incorrect thermostat settings or thermostat malfunctions can result in continuous unit operation, which leads to freezing.
- Dirty Coils: Dust and dirt that accumulate on the coils insulate them, preventing heat exchange.
- Refrigerant Line Problems: Kinks or restrictions in the coolant lines disrupt refrigerant circulation, which can result in freezing.
- Fan Problems: Frozen pipes can be exacerbated by malfunctioning fans caused by motor problems or broken belts.
- Low Outdoor Temperatures: In some cases, freezing weather can cause moisture on coils to freeze.
- Mechanical Issues: Component issues such as pressure switches or sensors can also cause freezing.
Is your home’s air conditioning system freezing? If so, book an appointment with Romaniuk Heating and Air Conditioning in Edmonton as soon as possible to avoid further damage. We’re available 24/7365 days a year, including after-hours, weekends, and holidays at no extra cost!
-
Can I Repair My Air Conditioner on My Own?
No, repairing your air conditioner yourself is not advised. Air conditioning systems are intricate, with numerous components such as electrical wiring, coolant lines, and mechanical components.
Trying DIY repairs without a sufficient amount of expertise and knowledge can result in several problems:
- Safety Concerns: Working with electrical wiring can be hazardous if you are not trained in electrical safety. When wires or circuits are mismanaged, they can cause electrical shocks or fires.
- Managing Refrigerant: Air conditioners include refrigerants, which must be handled with appropriate tools and knowledge. Mishandling refrigerants can endanger one’s health and harm the environment.
- Voided Warranty: DIY repairs can nullify your air conditioner’s warranty, making you liable for the entire cost of fixes or replacements.
- Further Damage: Doing repairs without proper training can aggravate a pre-existing issue or cause new problems, potentially resulting in more severe and costly repairs.
- Ineffective Repairs: Without the correct diagnostic tools and knowledge, DIY repairs may fail to address the underlying cause of the problem, resulting in ongoing issues.
It is best to leave your air conditioning repairs to qualified HVAC technicians who have the necessary knowledge, tools, and experience needed to properly and safely diagnose and repair problems. Therefore, if you believe there is something wrong with your air conditioner, reach out to the team at Romaniuk Heating and Air Conditioning for assistance! We’re available 24/7365 days a year, including after-hours, weekends, and holidays at no extra cost!

Can I (and Should I) Remove Old Unused Electrical Wiring?
