First, consider just how bad the performance of your furnace has become. Does it continually blow out lukewarm air? Are the cycles extremely short or extremely long? Do these issues persist even though you’ve had one component after another replaced? If you can answer yes to all of these, chances are that the heating system has seen better days. Perhaps it’s 15 or 20 years old. Even if the equipment is only 10 years old, it doesn’t sound as though it will last much longer.
Second, look for the indirect results of this inefficient performance. Let’s consider two of them: high humidity along with poor indoor air quality in general and unreasonably high energy bills. All of these factors are good reasons for a replacement.
A Heating Installation Overview
There’s a lot to think about when selecting a new furnace, such as the brand you want and the type of technology you’d like to have integrated into it. For example, you may wish to take advantage of smart home technology and buy a smart thermostat, or you may want zoning controls. Whatever your preferences, our technicians will find the best products to match them.
They’ll begin by doing the following.
- Performing a load calculation
- Measuring your home’s size
- Measuring its rate of heat loss
- Taking your budget into account
Knowing the size of the space to be heated and knowing how quickly the heat can escape outside is crucial because these determine the size and heating capacity of your new system. In the HVAC industry, bigger does not necessarily mean more efficient. Once you and our expert decide on a good fit, you’ll need to set aside a few hours for the installation itself.
