Our Furnace Installation Process

Testing for Gas Leaks

Gas leaks are one of the most common and dangerous issues with furnaces. The property owner will need to have the gas lines inspected each year before starting their furnace. This could decrease the risk of a fire or explosion in the home. HVAC technicians will review the gas lines and recommend carbon monoxide detectors to alert the property owner about the presence of gas in the air. When installing a new furnace, the technicians will need to make sure the gas lines are safe for the new unit and the property owner.

Evaluating the Ductwork

The ductwork can present difficulties for property owners, too, and if it is the wrong size, it will not circulate heated air properly. The technicians will review the current ductwork and determine if it needs to be replaced along with the furnace. If it is not damaged and still viable, the technicians will clean out the ductwork and connect it to the new furnace.

Setting Up the New Installation

The HVAC professional will set up a date and time for the new furnace installation. It is not a fast process and could take more than one day to complete. They set up the appointment according to the most convenient time for the property owners. The service provider will test the unit to ensure that it operates properly after the installation, and they will serve all the components and ensure they are lubricated appropriately.

Furnace Installation Cost & Financing

Furnace cost depends on the size of your home, the fuel type and efficiency level you choose, and installation complexity. The right size depends on a load calculation, not just square footage.

When Is It Time for a New Furnace?

If your furnace is less than 10 years old and needs a repair, repair is usually the better choice. Furnaces older than that, or those needing frequent repairs, are often better candidates for replacement. Most furnaces last 15 to 20 years with regular maintenance.
