Frequently Asked Questions About Furnace Installation
How do I know what size furnace is right for my home?
What’s the difference between standard and high-efficiency furnaces?
The primary difference is the Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) rating, which measures how effectively the furnace converts fuel into heat. Standard efficiency furnaces (80-89% AFUE) waste 11-20% of fuel, while high-efficiency models (90-98% AFUE) waste only 2-10%. High-efficiency furnaces incorporate advanced features like sealed combustion, variable-speed blowers, and multi-stage heating to deliver superior performance. For Southern Alberta homes, high-efficiency models typically deliver $300-$700 annual savings compared to standard models.
How long does furnace installation take?
Most standard furnace installations are completed within one day (6-8 hours). More complex installations involving ductwork modifications, electrical upgrades, or integrated air quality systems typically require 1-2 days. We schedule installations to minimize disruption to your home and comfort, providing clear timelines during your consultation.
Do I need to upgrade my ductwork when installing a new furnace?
Not always, but ductwork assessment is a critical part of our installation process. We evaluate your existing ductwork for proper sizing, insulation, sealing, and airflow characteristics. Many homes have ductwork issues that can reduce system efficiency by 20-30%. Our comprehensive assessment determines if modifications are needed to maximize your new furnace’s performance. When required, strategic ductwork improvements deliver substantial comfort improvements and efficiency gains.
What warranties come with a new furnace installation?
Our installed furnaces include manufacturer warranties ranging from 10 years on parts to lifetime coverage on heat exchangers, depending on the model selected. Additionally, we provide our own installation warranty covering labor and workmanship. Extended warranty options are available to provide comprehensive coverage for up to 10 years on all components and labor, eliminating any concerns about future repair costs.
Will a new furnace actually save enough money to be worth the investment?
Yes! Our customers typically see a 25-40% reduction in heating costs after installation, often translating to $300-$700 in annual savings depending on home size and usage patterns. When combined with available rebates, many systems reach payback periods of 5-7 years, while delivering improved comfort immediately. We provide detailed savings projections based on your actual energy usage.
