Our comprehensive furnace replacement service is designed to guide you through every step, ensuring a seamless transition to a modern, high-performance heating system tailored specifically for your home.
Is It Time to Replace Your Furnace?
Deciding between a costly repair and a full replacement can be challenging. While some issues are easily fixed, there comes a point where investing in a new system is the more financially sound and logical choice. If you're experiencing any of the following signs, it is likely time to consider a furnace replacement.
- Advanced Age: Most furnaces have a lifespan of 15 to 20 years. If your unit is within or beyond this range, its efficiency has significantly declined, and the risk of a major component failure increases dramatically.
- Rising Energy Bills: A furnace loses its efficiency over time. If your heating costs are steadily climbing each winter without a change in your usage habits, your old unit is likely working overtime to produce less heat, wasting energy and money.
- Frequent and Costly Repairs: Does it feel like you’re constantly calling for service? If you've had multiple repairs in the last two years, the cumulative cost could be better applied toward a new, reliable system. One major repair can often cost a significant fraction of a full replacement.
- Uneven Heating: Are some rooms in your house warm and cozy while others remain cold? An aging furnace often loses its ability to distribute air effectively, leading to inconsistent temperatures and comfort imbalances throughout your home.
- Strange Noises: While all furnaces make some noise, loud or unusual sounds like banging, popping, rattling, or squealing are clear indicators of mechanical problems. These noises often signal that critical components are worn out and on the verge of failure.
- Visible Signs of Wear: Physical signs of rust, corrosion, or cracks on the furnace unit itself are serious red flags. A cracked heat exchanger, in particular, can be dangerous as it may leak carbon monoxide into your home.
Our Detailed Furnace Replacement Process
We believe in a transparent, thorough process that removes the guesswork and ensures your new furnace is a perfect fit for your home. Our approach is meticulous, focusing on long-term performance, efficiency, and your complete satisfaction.
1. Comprehensive In-Home Assessment: Our process begins with a visit from a skilled technician to your Lafox home. We don't just measure the old unit; we evaluate your entire heating environment. This includes inspecting your existing ductwork, ventilation, insulation, and discussing your family's specific comfort needs and energy consumption patterns.
2. Precise System Sizing: One of the most critical steps in any furnace replacement is accurate sizing. A furnace that is too large will cycle on and off frequently, causing unnecessary wear and temperature swings. A unit that is too small will run constantly without ever reaching the desired temperature. We perform a professional load calculation (Manual J) to determine the exact heating capacity your home requires for optimal efficiency and comfort.
3. Selecting the Right High-Efficiency Furnace: Based on our assessment and calculations, we will present you with options for high-efficiency furnaces from leading manufacturers. We’ll explain the benefits of different models, including AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) ratings, single-stage versus two-stage operation, and variable-speed blowers. Our goal is to help you select a system that matches your home’s needs and your budget, delivering significant energy savings for years to come.
4. Meticulous and Professional Installation: On installation day, our certified technicians treat your home with respect. We use drop cloths and take care to protect your property. The installation itself is performed to the highest industry standards, ensuring every connection—from fuel lines and electrical wiring to ductwork and thermostats—is secure and correct. We also inspect and seal ductwork as needed to maximize the performance of your new system.
5. Safe Removal and Disposal of Old Equipment: You won't have to worry about your old, bulky furnace. As part of our service, we safely disconnect and remove the old unit from your property. We handle its disposal in an environmentally responsible manner, leaving your space clean and tidy.
6. Final System Testing and Walkthrough: Once the new furnace is installed, we don't consider the job complete. We conduct a series of rigorous tests to ensure every component is functioning perfectly. We calibrate the system for peak performance, check for safety, and then walk you through the operation of your new furnace and thermostat, answering any questions you may have. We leave only when you are completely comfortable and confident with your new heating system.
