Replacing Your Old Furnace
Thinking about replacing your old furnace? A new furnace installation can reduce energy costs and utility bills. These days, furnaces pollute less and offer more comfort by producing heat more steadily. Prior to replacing your old heating system, you should have a professional heating and cooling contractor come in to tune up your furnace, assess its condition, and determine its efficiency.
Plan Ahead for a New Furnace
If your furnace has been acting up or you know it’s on it’s last leg, don’t wait until the dead of a Michigan winter to call a professional HVAC contractor to check it out. Heating and Cooling companies can often get backed up during the cold months so proper planning is required. If your furnace can be fixed, great. But if it is beyond repair, more time may be required to get your heat going again with a new furnace installation.
Properly Sizing a Furnace
The furnace’s specifications should fit the unqiue needs of your home. A small furnace for a large home won’t keep it comfortable during the colder months in winter. In some cases, furnaces are larger than necessary in order to produce enough heat. But a furnace that’s too large will cycle on and off more frequently, which puts more wear on the unit, wastes energy, and could cause the temperature to vary uncomfortably. So it’s best have to a professional contractor assess and calculate your heating needs according to industry standards to find the proper size.
Energy Efficient Furnaces
The AFUE rating, which is measured as a percentage, is commonly used to measure how efficiently a furnace converts gas into heating energy. AFUE stands for Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency. Furnaces are much more energy efficient these days. So if you have an older furnace, upgrading could save you big. Newer furnaces also generate fewer emissions, making them more environmentally friendly. Furnaces today range from 78% to 97% AFUE compared to about 65% in the 1970s.
Hire A Professional Heaitng and Cooling Contractor
In the end, it’s best to hire a professional Heating and Cooling Contractor to get the job done right. There’s quite a few options on the market today when selecting a new furnace, but one of the most critical factors is the installer of the furnace. You can select the best, most efficient gas furnace on the market, but if it’s not sized properly, it will not matter. It it’s not installed properly, you won’t reap the benefits. If you hire an unlicensed contractor and have issues later down the road, your warranty might be null and void.
