Having your heating system replaced is the sort of thing you only have to do every decade or two. It\u2019s kind of a big deal to a homeowner. But we do it every day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may have questions and concerns about heating system replacement. We have answers and information! What\u2019s involved? How long does it take? We\u2019ll tell you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Where Do I Begin?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your first step is to select a new heating system with the help of qualified HVAC professionals. You\u2019ll want to weigh factors like cost to purchase, energy cost to operate, and what size of system will work best for the square footage and layout of your home. Once you know what heating system you want, an installation plan can be made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Affects the Installation Process?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The simplest kind of heating system replacement is when an older unit is replaced with a new one of the same type. Any change can add steps to the installation process. For example, if you\u2019ve been using an electric furnace, and you want to switch it out for a gas furnace, your home\u2019s gas lines will need to be modified to make this replacement possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other factor that can sometimes come up is ductwork. Are your ducts in good condition? If ducts need to be repaired or replaced, or if you live in an old house which never had any ductwork, there will be a separate appointment to address that before your heating installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Is a Routine Installation Like?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When your technicians arrive, they\u2019ll take a moment to assess the space, how to maneuver things, and what is needed. They\u2019ll clear the areas they need to move through and work in. They\u2019ll disconnect and remove the old unit, bring in the new one, and connect it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before they leave, they\u2019ll turn the new system on and let it run for a bit. This ensures that it\u2019s working properly. After answering any questions you have and providing you with operating instructions and an owner\u2019s manual, they\u2019ll tidy up and say goodbye. It\u2019s as simple as that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Long Does Heating System Replacement Take?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once any preliminary steps have been completed, such as the gas line work or duct repair mentioned above, your installation should be able to fit into a single day. You should make sure you will be available for the full day, but it may not take that long. In fact, there\u2019s a chance that the entire process could be complete in just four hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Can I Streamline My Heating Installation?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To increase your chances of a quicker, easier heating installation, do some of the prep work yourself, so your technicians can get down to business as soon as they arrive. Figure out where they\u2019ll park, and which door they should use to access the furnace area. Clear a wide path, removing any obstacles or clutter that could get in the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also clear a good amount of space around your heating system. There should always be at least five feet of empty space around a furnace in order to avoid fire hazards, so this is a good plan anyway. Make sure there will be plenty of room to work. Right before your appointment, shut your pets in another room so they won\u2019t get underfoot\u2014or distract the installers with their cuteness!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
