Furnace Installations & What to Expect

A residential furnace replacement is a big decision that takes careful planning and consideration. You’ll need to make sure you’ve got all the bases covered to make it worth the investment, including how long the installation process is going to take. As long as you work with trusted residential and commercial HVAC professionals such as the technicians at Perfect Degree HVAC, you won’t need to worry about your furnace installation.

How Long Does It Usually Take?

Different homes have different heating and cooling requirements, so it will all depend on the complexity of the installation process. Most installations take anywhere from  four to eight hours, but this is assuming the existing ductwork is in good condition and won’t need to be replaced. It can also depend on who you hire to do the job, so make sure to hire only those who have the appropriate knowledge, experience and certifications.  

Common Factors That Affect Installation Time

• Installation cost – The installation cost can be higher for larger homes, not to mention the cost of annual maintenance checks. These are still necessary, as they keep your furnace running efficiently throughout its expected lifespan. With the right furnace and heating maintenance package, you won’t have to worry about unexpected breakdowns, especially during the winter season! 

• Your home’s size – Larger homes require bigger furnaces to meet the volume capacity needed to heat the entire space. If you get a furnace that’s too small, it will overexert itself providing enough heat. This leads to increased wear and tear and premature breakdowns. Choosing a furnace that’s too big will cause it to turn on and shut off more often, which isn’t efficient in the long run.
