Heating and HVAC for acreages around Calgary
Heating an acreage home is often different from heating a house in town. Many run on propane, plenty of homes and shops have a boiler and in-floor heat, and wood or pellet stoves are common backups. Heating contractors here install and service furnaces, boilers, shop heaters, stoves and the ventilation that goes with them.

Guide
Heating an acreage home or shop
Propane or natural gas, a furnace or a boiler, a heated shop slab or a wood stove: here's a plain-language checklist for choosing, permitting and looking after the heat on an acreage.
- Pick the right system for the building
- Permits and inspections
- Propane and gas safety
- Wood and pellet stoves
- Fresh air: HRVs
Pick the right system for the building
- A furnace heats with air through ducts. A boiler heats water for in-floor tubing, baseboards or radiators. In-floor heat in a concrete slab is a popular choice for shops and garages.
- Big shops with tall doors also use overhead radiant tube or unit heaters. Ask the contractor to compare the options and running costs for how you'll use the building.
- Ask for a heat-loss calculation for each space instead of sizing from square footage alone.
Permits and inspections
- New gas and heating work needs the right permits, from your municipality or an accredited agency. Alberta: permits and the safety codes system; where to get a permit.
- Foothills County, for example, asks for a system design and room-by-room heat-loss calculations for a primary hydronic (boiler and in-floor) heating system, prepared by an Alberta professional engineer or a certified hydronic designer. Foothills County: hydronic heating system requirements (PDF)
- Rocky View County lists furnace and hot water tank replacements with no change to the gas piping or venting among jobs that don't need a subtrade permit. Rocky View County: get a building permit
- Check a gasfitter's Alberta certificate with the province's lookup. Alberta tradesperson lookup tool
Propane and gas safety
- Appliances have to be set up for the fuel they burn. Tell your contractor and your propane supplier before you add or swap an appliance. See our Propane Delivery & Installation section.
- Put carbon monoxide alarms near the bedrooms, and have furnaces, boilers and other fuel-burning appliances serviced regularly.
- If you smell gas or propane, leave the building and call your supplier or 911 from outside.
Wood and pellet stoves
- Have a wood or pellet stove installed by a qualified installer, and tell your home insurer before you use it. Many insurers ask for a WETT inspection.
- Have the chimney checked and cleaned regularly, and burn dry, seasoned wood. A Guide to Residential Wood Heating (Government of Canada)
Fresh air: HRVs
- Newer, tighter homes rely on mechanical ventilation, often a heat recovery ventilator (HRV). Clean its filters a few times a year and ask for it to be checked when the furnace or boiler is serviced.
