Spokane Furnace Installation

#1 Uncover the Most Suitable HVAC System For Your Home Today!

Here are some of the different types of HVAC systems: a ductless mini-split system or a window-attached wall unit. Additionally, it is important to know what type of furnace you have; electric, natural gas, or one that uses a heat pump or boiler system. Out of these options, the three most popular choices are electric furnaces followed by gas and oil ones.

• Electric

Electric furnaces are excellent for use in areas with more moderate climates. They have some of the lowest upfront costs and their electric usage is not too expensive.

These types of furnaces are easy to install and don't require a lot of maintenance, meaning they have a longer lifespan. Additionally, electric furnaces are quite energy efficient - especially when the temperature rarely falls below freezing.

• Gas

Although gas furnaces are more expensive up front, they have lower monthly operating costs and can heat your home quickly. This makes them the most popular type of furnace overall.

• Oil

Pros: Oil furnaces work especially well in areas with harsh winters. There are no monthly costs because you just pay for oil upfront. However, they will require a full storage tank which is an additional cost to you.

Cons: About 5.5 million households in the United States used heating oil as their primary heating fuel. About 82% of those households were in the Northeast according to The Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy's last report from 2018-2019.

#2 Ensure the Furnace is Perfectly Sized for Your Needs.

• Usually, you will have a choice between the sizes of the furnace when you purchase one. In most cases, opting for the larger unit is going to be the better decision. This is because an undersized unit can cause issues later on. If your chosen unit isn't powerful enough temperature-wise, it can make heating your home difficult - and especially so during winter when you want to be able to crank up the heat without any worries.

#3 Avoid Used Furnace Units

• Although a used furnace installation cost may be cheaper than a new unit, it is important to factor in long-term savings and lifespan. Used furnaces often create more issues and expenses down the line due to decreased energy efficiency, power, and ability. Installing a new unit will save you money in the long run and provide lasting warmth for years to come.

#4 Hire a Trustworthy Company.

• Hiring an experienced professional for furnace installation is critical to the process. This means you need a reputable HVAC company, such as Spokane Heating and Cooling.
• You shouldn't have to stress about a gas furnace installation or a furnace humidifier installation as a homeowner. Luckily, there are many reputable companies that provide excellent services at an affordable cost. These professionals can guarantee that the job will be done correctly the first time around so you don't need to worry about any repairs down the line.
• A trusted company will be able to install a furnace filter at the right price. Just because something is cheap doesn't mean it's of good quality--often, you get what you pay for. If you try to save money by going with the cheapest option, it could cost more if they don't do a proper job installation.
  
  

#5 Always Get a Warranty

• Nowadays, many furnace installation companies offer a warranty on their products. If your chosen company does not have this option available, you might want to keep looking. A warranty is beneficial as it covers most repairs and defects that may occur down the line. Most last anywhere from 5-10 years, giving you some peace of mind. Although an extended warranty may be an additional cost upfront, it could save you money in the long run if problems ever arise unexpectedly.

#6 Build a Connection

• Once you find a company you want to use for your furnace installation, cultivated relationships are key. As a homeowner, it's valuable to have access to someone who can quickly and effectively fix any issues with the HVAC system. This way, when problems do inevitably arise, strangers don't need to be called and chances of miscommunication are lowered as both parties will already know each other quite well.
• Having a trusting relationship with your contractor provides you with many benefits, such as not having to explain your home's ins and outs every time you call for service, and saving money because they are already familiar with what you expect to pay.

#7 Perform Maintenance Regularly

• By regularly maintaining your furnace after installation, it can last up to 15 years–a lengthy amount of time for a system. Of course, this is only possible if you take care of it properly.
• The right maintenance includes yearly cleaning and inspections. The ducts need to be cleaned out every year as part of maintaining your HVAC system.
• Routine maintenance such as cleaning your furnace can save you time and money in the future by ensuring that the system runs efficiently. Extending the life of your system through proper care can result in huge savings.
