Right sizing prevents short-cycling, noise, and uneven temperatures. We perform Manual J room-by-room calculations and verify static pressure and return/ supply balance. If needed, we recommend duct modifications (larger returns, sealing, transitions) to protect your new furnace and improve comfort.

• Smart Thermostats: Schedules, geofencing, and energy reports; remote access for easier management.

• Filtration: Choose MERV 8–13 based on allergies, pets, and indoor air quality goals; pair with variable-speed blowers for better capture.

• Humidity Control: Humidifiers (winter) and dehumidifiers (summer) protect finishes and improve comfort.

• Fresh Air & Ventilation: HRV/ERV systems exchange stale air with filtered outdoor air, reducing stuffiness and pollutants.

• Zoning: Multi-zone dampers/thermostats customize temperatures across floors or additions.

• Good: 95% AFUE, single-stage burner, ECM blower

  • Best for: Smaller homes, tighter budgets, basic comfort upgrades

• Better: 96–97% AFUE, two-stage burner, variable-speed blower

  • Best for: Most detached homes; improved comfort, quieter operation

• Best: 97–98.5% AFUE, modulating burner, variable-speed blower + smart thermostat

  • Best for: Top comfort, lowest fuel use, consistent temps, quietest operation

(Model availability and features vary; we present multiple options during your quote.)

Consider purchase + installation + energy + maintenance over 10–15 years. A higher-efficiency, variable-speed furnace can often pay back via lower gas use and improved comfort—especially with rebates and smart controls. Add a maintenance plan to extend life and preserve efficiency.

• Protection & Removal: Floor/area protection; clean removal of old equipment.

• Code-Compliant Setup: Gas/electric, venting/condensate, drain pan, and clearances.

• Duct Transitions & Sealing: Proper fits and sealed joints for airflow and quiet operation.

• Commissioning: Combustion analysis, gas pressure, temperature rise, and static pressure checks.

• Walkthrough & Training: Filter access, thermostat setup, and maintenance schedule.

• Registration & Warranty: We register your equipment and provide documentation.

• Age: 12–15+ years with repeated failures

• Major Repairs: Heat exchanger cracks, control board failures + poor efficiency

• Comfort Issues: Hot/cold spots, rising bills, frequent short-cycling
  We’ll provide a repair vs. replace comparison showing lifetime costs and available incentives.

High-efficiency furnaces may qualify for manufacturer, utility, or government incentives. We confirm eligibility, handle paperwork, and can pair incentives with financing or rental options.

What size furnace do I need?
We never guess. We run Manual J heat-loss calculations and verify duct capacity to match BTUs to your home.

Is a modulating furnace worth it?
If you value steady temperatures, quiet operation, and lower fuel use, modulating + variable-speed is often the best comfort upgrade.

Do I need new ducts?
Not always. Many systems benefit from added return air, sealing, or minor transitions to meet airflow and noise targets.

Gas vs. electric vs. propane?
We’ll compare fuel availability, local rates, and venting to recommend the most economical choice for your home.

What maintenance is required?
Annual tune-ups, filter changes, and verifying temperature rise/static pressure help preserve efficiency and warranty coverage.

Can I use my existing thermostat?
Usually yes, but smart thermostats unlock better scheduling, insights, and savings—especially with two-stage/modulating furnaces.
