Confirm the current appliance before comparing it
Paradigm 2G is a legitimate Canadian research lead, but the accessible product overview does not provide enough model-specific data to fill every comparison field responsibly. Ask the distributor for the current specification sheet, model code and availability. Leaving an unverified capacity blank is more useful than borrowing a number from a similarly named older furnace.
The quote should identify the burner and the intended firing rate. A furnace family can support different output arrangements, and the customer needs to know which one is priced and why it suits the house.
Ask what supports the savings claim
Kerr’s overview promotes reduced oil use, but a personal annual saving needs a defined baseline. Ask whether the estimate assumes a particular old efficiency, fuel price or operating schedule. If those facts are unknown, the calculation should show a range or remain a scenario. It should not be presented as a guaranteed result of buying this badge.
Have the contractor inspect the retained oil-system components and venting. The furnace’s benefit and the cost of associated work should be separate findings. An alternative that changes fuel should be priced with equally complete removal and conversion scope.
A practical ownership comparison
Request the local maintenance plan, the source of replacement burner parts and the terms for diagnostic labour. Ask who will preserve the commissioning results and what documentation the owner receives. Compare the Paradigm proposal with another suitable oil system or a complete conversion option using the same house information. If a substantial premium remains unexplained, an independent review can focus on actual equipment and work instead of trying to rank brand names without evidence.
Cost, reliability & alternatives
No verified, scope-complete Canadian installed price is assigned to this brand. Compare the exact equipment, labour, site alterations, commissioning, tax and warranty terms. A large unexplained gap between comparable written proposals warrants clarification and an independent second opinion.
Not numerically ranked: no comparable Canadian model-level failure-rate dataset was verified in this research.
