We accept online submissions through the Vernon Matters website for our Free Furnace for Fall contest each year from October 1st to October 31st. Owner-occupied residential homes are eligible. The furnace must be in good working condition, installed to Technical Safety BC Gas Code, used as the primary source of heating the home, and be supplied with natural gas or propane. The home must be within 20 kilometers of Vernon BC. The Grand Prize is a new Coleman furnace (not including a plenum and return airdrop), installed, up to a value of $3,500. The value is calculated according to Vernon Air Conditioning, Plumbing and Electrical Services Retail Investment Guide (our average price for a 40,000 BTUH high-efficient single-stage furnace is $3,493.00 plus tax). The Grand Prize does not include the plenum and return airdrop or any additional modifications to the ductwork. Any other modifications are the responsibility of the homeowner. The homeowner is responsible for the removal of asbestos; asbestos abatement is solely the responsibility of the homeowner and must be completed and verified before Vernon Air Conditioning, Plumbing and Electrical Services can install the new system. There is no purchase necessary to win. You will receive updates about this contest, exclusive discounts and offers, and helpful information via email. All eligible contest entrants will receive a $250 credit (expires one year from the date of entry) towards a new natural gas/propane furnace or a new central air conditioning system.
