A professionally installed furnace not only provides consistent warmth during colder months but also operates safely and efficiently. You know you can rely on your furnace to keep you and your family warm and comfortable.
A professionally installed furnace evenly distributes warm air throughout your home for consistent and comfortable temperatures. Proper installation helps the furnace operate as intended, avoiding issues like uneven heating or cold spots.
Incorrect installation can lead to serious safety issues, such as the gas leaks, carbon monoxide poisoning, and fire risks we mentioned earlier. Only certified HVAC professionals have the expertise to install furnaces in compliance with safety codes and manufacturer specifications.
Proper installation also affects furnace efficiency. A professionally-installed furnace maximizes heat production while minimizing energy consumption. That means lower utility bills for you! On the other hand, improper installation can result in increased energy usage and uneven temperatures.
Think of professional furnace installation as an investment in your heating system’s longevity and reliability. Proper installation reduces the likelihood of frequent breakdowns and extends the furnace’s lifespan. Regular maintenance, including routine tune-ups and inspections by your HVAC professional, protects your system from costly repairs and keeps it working well for years to come.
Many furnace manufacturers require professional installation to validate the warranty. Attempting a DIY installation or hiring unqualified personnel may void the warranty. That leaves you unprotected against potential defects or issues. Professional installers know how to set up your furnace according to manufacturer guidelines, preserving your warranty and providing peace of mind.
When your furnace is installed correctly, it can help improve your home’s indoor air quality. Professionals will check that your ductwork and ventilation systems are correctly configured to minimize the presence of dust, allergens, and other contaminants. This prevents your furnace from blowing harmful particles into the air.

Sometimes, your old furnace may be broken beyond repair. When that happens, it’s time for a new one. Recognizing when to replace your furnace before it stops working entirely can prevent unexpected disruptions and costly emergency repairs. The key is staying proactive and paying attention to your furnace year by year.
These indicators suggest it may be time to replace your furnace:
The average lifespan of a furnace ranges from 15 to 20 years, depending on factors like maintenance, usage, and the quality of the unit. Regular maintenance, such as annual inspections and timely repairs, can extend the life of your furnace. However, we strongly recommend that you consider a replacement after 15 years, as older furnaces may not operate as efficiently and could be more prone to breakdowns.
Upgrading to a new furnace offers several advantages:
Installing a new furnace is a major undertaking, but one that will improve your home’s comfort and energy efficiency. It helps to understand the process. Hiring a professional to install your new furnace guarantees safety and compliance with local codes.
Selecting the best furnace for your needs includes taking into account:
To maintain your furnace’s performance:
Here are answers to some of the most common questions about new furnace installation.
While installing a furnace yourself might seem cost-effective, it comes with risks. Furnaces involve complex systems, including gas lines and electrical components, which must be handled properly. Your professional HVAC technician has the necessary training and tools to ensure a safe and compliant installation.
Attempting a DIY installation can also void warranties and violate local building codes.
The length of a furnace installation varies based on factors like the complexity of the system and the specifics of your home. On average, professional installations typically take between four and ten hours. Some experienced teams may complete the process in as little as 4.5 hours under optimal conditions. However, note that unforeseen challenges can extend this timeframe.
Upgrading to a high-efficiency furnace can noticeably reduce your energy bills. For instance, replacing an older 80% efficient furnace with a 95% efficient model can result in 15% savings on heating costs. If your monthly heating expense is around $150, this upgrade could save you about $22.50 each month.
It’s important to select the right size furnace for your home, something a professional can help with. An undersized furnace will struggle to heat your home adequately, while an oversized one can lead to frequent cycling and increased wear.
Yes! Investing in an energy-efficient furnace may make you eligible for financial incentives. Starting January 1, 2023, homeowners can claim a federal tax credit of up to $3,200 for qualifying energy-efficient home improvements, including furnace installations. This credit is available for improvements made through 2032.
