The typical residential furnace installation takes between four and 10 hours. How much time we need for a furnace installation depends on your space, how the unit fits into it and any issues with electrical, gas, or ductwork we may encounter along the way.
If you need a new furnace installed, call Ambient Edge. We’ll assess your space, help guide you through the best choice for your home and budget, and take care of all aspects of the installation.
How We Assess Your Living Space for a Furnace Installation
When you call the specialists at Ambient Edge about installing a new furnace, we will come to your home to check out your current HVAC system.
Some of the things we’re looking for include:
- Measurements of your home
- Checking ductwork
- Getting an idea of your home heating and cooling needs
- Understanding your budget
- Investigating gas lines, electrical, and other HVAC components
Finding the Right Furnace for Your Needs
When investing in a new furnace, you can purchase a unit that is too small or not powerful enough that will battle to keep your home toasty. An undersized unit won’t be up to the job and will need a lot of maintenance down the road as the parts and components become overworked and wear out. A system without enough power can also leave hot and cold zones throughout your house.
An oversized furnace will overheat your home then continuously shut down. It will also cost a lot more to operate and your energy bills will increase, perhaps needlessly. A system that is too powerful can also cause leaks or tears in your ductwork.
Preparing for Your Furnace Installation
Your Ambient Edge technician starts your furnace installation project with a full calculation of heat loss throughout your home. That means looking at all the heat your home loses through windows, doors, attic, roof, walls, and more.
We also look at square footage and the practical layout of your home. From there, we can calculate exactly how much heating capacity your home needs. Then we work with you to understand your heating goals, lifestyle, and budget.
We’ll help you purchase a new furnace that fits your lifestyle, your unique needs, and your budget. We recommend energy-efficient furnaces, as much as possible, to help you save money on your energy bills over the years as well.
What to Expect on Installation Day
Most of our technicians are certified by NATE (North American Technician Excellence). We are up-to-date with the latest state and local building codes, so rest assured, if we need a permit, it will be taken care of before installation day.
We remove your old equipment and install your new furnace according to manufacturer specifications and our own high standards. We thoroughly test your new system to ensure it is running safely and efficiently.
We also clean up completely after the installation and explain your new system and how to use it. If, at any point in time — even days or weeks after installation — you have questions, never hesitate to give us a call. We’re here to help and we want to make sure you’re getting the most out of your new furnace system to keep your home as comfortable as possible.
