Our Precision Furnace Replacement Process

Our process is designed to maximize the efficiency, safety, and lifespan of your new furnace, ensuring you receive the full benefit of your investment.

Step 1: Comprehensive Heat Load Calculation and System Selection

We begin by performing a detailed heat load calculation of your home to determine the precise heating capacity required. This prevents the common mistake of oversizing or undersizing the unit. Based on this data, we consult with you on the best furnace options, considering factors like AFUE ratings, variable-speed technology, and eligibility for local rebates or tax credits.

Step 2: Safe Removal and Site Preparation

Our certified technicians safely disconnect and remove your old furnace system, adhering to all safety and environmental regulations. We prepare the installation site, ensuring the area is clean, the gas line is properly sized, and the venting system is compliant with all current safety codes.

Step 3: Precision Installation and System Integration

The new furnace is installed with meticulous attention to detail. This includes setting the unit, connecting the gas line, and integrating the ductwork and thermostat. We are sticklers for safety and code compliance, ensuring the venting is correct and the system is sealed to prevent carbon monoxide leaks and maximize efficiency.

Step 4: System Commissioning and Performance Verification

After installation, we perform a thorough system commissioning. This involves checking the gas pressure, verifying the temperature rise across the heat exchanger, and calibrating the thermostat. We test the furnace through multiple cycles to ensure it is achieving the manufacturer’s specified performance and delivering consistent, safe heat throughout your home. We also provide a detailed walk-through of your new system and its warranty.

Furnace Replacement FAQ

  • What are the key signs that I need a Furnace Replacement instead of a repair?

    The key signs include age (typically over 15 years), frequent, costly repairs (especially if the repair cost exceeds 50% of a new unit), inconsistent heating (cold spots), and a yellow pilot light or excessive dust, which can indicate safety or combustion issues.

  • How long does a standard Furnace Replacement take?

    A standard furnace replacement, including the removal of the old unit and the installation of the new one, typically takes one full day. The exact time depends on the complexity of the installation, such as whether ductwork modifications or venting upgrades are required.

  • What is the most important factor when choosing a new furnace?

    The most important factor is proper sizing and installation. An improperly sized unit will cycle too frequently or run too long, leading to inefficiency, premature failure, and poor comfort. Our technicians perform a precise heat load calculation to ensure the unit is perfectly matched to your home’s thermal requirements.

  • Will a new high-efficiency furnace save me money on my energy bills?

    Yes. Modern furnaces have AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) ratings up to 98%, meaning they convert up to 98% of the fuel into usable heat. By upgrading from an older, less efficient model (often 70-80% AFUE), you can expect to see a substantial reduction in your monthly gas bills.

  • What is the difference between Furnace Replacement and Furnace Repair?

    Furnace Replacement involves installing an entirely new system, typically due to age, safety concerns, or catastrophic failure. Furnace Repair is the service of fixing a specific component to restore the existing system’s function. We always provide an honest assessment to help you determine which service is the most cost-effective long-term solution. We also recommend annual Furnace Maintenance to prolong your system’s life.
