Four Steps to Install Your New Furnace/Heat Pump
Installing a furnace can be a stressful decision, but we can make easy for you. It may be tempting to DIY the process and save on the services fee but such an installation contains various complicated components that can be dangerous if executed right. To give you an idea of what our process entails, here’s a look at Sun Star Heating & Cooling HVAC system installation services:
Step 1 In-Home Inspection
Prior to scheduling a new unit installation, our technician will first meet with you and perform an in-home walkthrough. We will evaluate factors such as the square footage of your home, the age of the home, the type and amount of insulation, the electrical panel that powers the unit, and the condition of ductwork.
Step 2 Evaluation and decision
Following an initial inspection, we provide an estimate for a few different unit options to choose from. The options presented will be units that are going to work best for your home and living conditions. When evaluating each option, be sure to ask about any warranties that come with the unit.
Step 3 Installation Timeline
Now that you’ve selected your unit replacement, it’s time for installation. The exact amount of time it takes to install a new HVAC unit can vary based on a number of factors, including the size of your house, the accessibility of the space where your HVAC components are stored, the state of the ductwork, and the dimensions of your new HVAC. Generally speaking, the average installation will take anywhere from four to eight hours, which means the process of removing the old unit and being able to turn on the new one should be finished within a day.
Step 4 Quality checkout
The last and the most important step we do one final quality check to ensure that the whole system is working perfectly.
-
Age – If your furnace is more than 10 years old, it’s likely not operating at optimal efficiency.
Repair type and frequency – How frequently do you repair the unit? Are any upcoming repairs expected to be particularly costly? -
Your energy bill – If you’ve noticed an uptick in your energy bill, it may be in part due to an aging furnace.
-
Comfort – If your energy bills are rising and the temperature of your home isn’t comfortable, it can be frustrating. Uneven temperatures, trouble keeping up with demand, and freezing air escaping supply registers are all signs that it’s time to replace your home’s furnace.
There are a couple of things you need to think about when choosing a furnace replacement:
​
-
Your geographic location – If you rely more on heating than on air conditioning because you live in a cold geographic location, it’s especially worthwhile to invest in a high-efficiency furnace replacement.
-
Your existing system – It’s important to consider existing systems in your home as well as your future plans. For example, if you’re interested in adding air conditioning, a heat pump might be a better choice than a furnace, depending on your climate.
Provide energy savings – By upgrading from an older mediocre-efficiency furnace to a new high-efficiency model, you can expect immediate and profound savings on your monthly utility bills all season long.
Improve total home comfort – The features that make a furnace highly efficient also allow it to perform better and keep you and your family more comfortable. Expect even temperatures from room to room and fewer drafts that diminish your comfort level.
Contribute to the protection of the environment – While keeping your home comfortable, an energy-efficient furnace replacement uses less natural gas and releases fewer emissions that negatively impact the environment.
