Preparing for Your New Furnace Installation
The journey to a new, efficient heating system begins even before our technicians arrive. Understanding what to expect and how to prepare can significantly streamline the installation process.
Clearing the Work Area
Please ensure that the area around your existing furnace and the proposed installation site for the new unit is clear of obstructions. This allows our technicians easy and safe access to perform their work.
Pet and Child Safety
For the safety of everyone, including our team, we recommend keeping children and pets away from the installation zone during the service.
Understanding the Visit
When our Stafford Home Service technicians arrive, they will conduct a final assessment of your home's layout, existing ductwork, and the designated space for your new furnace. They will confirm the chosen unit and discuss the installation timeline with you, answering any last-minute questions you might have. This preparation ensures a smooth transition to your new heating system.
Choosing the Right Furnace for Your Home
Selecting the appropriate furnace isn’t just about finding the warmest option; it’s about choosing a system that is correctly sized, energy-efficient, and compatible with your home’s existing infrastructure.
Unit Sizing (BTUs)
An undersized furnace will struggle to heat your home, while an oversized one will short-cycle, causing inefficiency and wear. Our experts calculate the ideal BTU output based on your home’s square footage, insulation, windows, and local climate.
Fuel Type
Furnaces can run on natural gas, propane, or electricity. We help you evaluate the best option for your home based on availability, costs, and energy preferences.
Energy Efficiency (AFUE)
Modern furnaces often achieve AFUE ratings of 90% or higher. At Stafford Home Service, we explain these ratings so you can make an informed choice that balances energy savings and environmental responsibility.
Ductwork Assessment
Our technicians inspect ductwork for leaks, blockages, or improper sizing. We recommend any necessary modifications to ensure your new furnace operates at peak efficiency.
