The last thing any Houston homeowner wants to deal with right now is a broken-down furnace. Unfortunately, though, that\u2019s the reality that many of us are facing right now! Never before have our furnaces had to go through that much work to keep us warm as they did just weeks ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So if you\u2019ve come across this blog, there\u2019s a very good chance that you\u2019re one of many Houston residents whose furnace finally bit the dust, and you\u2019re in the market for a new one. Chances are, you\u2019re looking to save money in any way possible right now. You might be tempted to find and install a furnace on your own. This can be a mistake, though!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a significant amount of work that goes into each and every furnace installation. Attempting an installation on your own could result in an inefficient, ineffective, and potentially even dangerous furnace (at least, in the case of a gas-powered system). If you\u2019ve noticed your old furnace struggling, here are signs your furnace might need repair<\/a> or replacement. Read on as we uncover the steps that our professionals go through for your furnace installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Selecting the Right Furnace for Your Home<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A professional installation begins with selecting the best system for your space. Factors like energy efficiency ratings, home size, and budget come into play. Options include single-stage, two-stage, or variable-speed furnaces, each offering unique benefits for comfort and savings. Consulting with a licensed technician ensures you choose a system that balances performance with long-term energy efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, We Remove the Old Heater<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This sounds <\/em>like the easiest step of a furnace installation, right? But it can actually be the most tedious and laborious part of the whole entire process! It is about much more than just pulling the old heating system out and putting in a new one. If your furnace is already connected to your gas line, for example, then our professionals have to ensure that nothing is damaged or knocked out of place when we remove it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also need to ensure that the furnace is properly sized for the space that it\u2019s heating. No, this doesn\u2019t mean that we just have to make sure the furnace physically fits in the space\u2014we have to make sure the furnace isn\u2019t underpowered or overpowered for your home. This process requires a heat load calculation, which our team is trained to do in any type of home. Without a proper heat load calculation, you could be stuck with an incredibly inefficient heater that fails years before its time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Safety Measures During Installation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Proper furnace installation involves more than just setting up the equipment. Technicians perform crucial steps like testing for gas leaks, ensuring correct ventilation, and calibrating safety controls to prevent carbon monoxide buildup. These precautions protect your family\u2019s safety and ensure the new system runs efficiently from the start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, We Make the Appropriate Connections<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once your new furnace system is in place\u2014and this usually includes bolting the system to the floor\u2014our professionals connect the system to the components needed for its operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This includes the ventilation system (your ductwork). The ducts have to be hooked up to the furnace correctly in order to avoid damaging them. If they accumulate damage during the installation process, you\u2019ll have repairs to take care of before you can start using your air conditioner this spring too. Checking the condition of your ductwork<\/a> is essential to maintaining HVAC performance and efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, we hook the furnace up to its power source. We have your safety to consider with this step\u2014particularly if your furnace is a gas-powered one. Any connections to your gas line require an experienced and properly licensed professional to handle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last, but certainly not least, we have to hook up electrical wiring. Even gas-powered heaters have electrical wiring within them\u2014modern gas furnaces often use an electronic igniter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, We Test Your Heating System<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What kind of HVAC professionals would we be if we installed your system, and then simply left your home? You want your HVAC installer to ensure that the system works as it should. Not only that but one works as it should.<\/em> Once your heating is sorted, consider an AC installation that\u2019s the right size for your home<\/a> to ensure year-round comfort. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
