Cochrane weather and your system
Strong westerly wind
Chinook winds come down the Bow Valley hard. Hillside homes facing west catch the worst of it. Wind across a side-wall vent can cause nuisance shutdowns, so we pick vent locations and use vent kits rated for the exposure.
Outdoor units need solid mounting
Gusts rock tall heat pump stands. We anchor outdoor units and keep them out of the wind tunnel between houses where possible.
Cochrane HVAC questions
Still unsure? Call 587-719-5115 and talk to a technician.
Can I pull my own gas permit in Cochrane?
No. The Town lets homeowners pull building, electrical and plumbing permits, but a gas permit needs a certified gasfitter.
Why does my furnace shut off on windy days in Cochrane?
Strong gusts across the vent can upset the draft and trip the pressure switch. A vent relocation or a different termination kit usually fixes it. We'll confirm it's the wind before changing anything.
Does a heat pump work in Cochrane winters?
Yes, paired with a gas furnace. Cold-climate heat pumps keep heating well below freezing, and the furnace takes over in deep cold. In a windy spot we size for the higher heat loss.
