FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT FURNACE INSTALLATION

Proper furnace sizing requires professional load calculations considering your home's square footage, insulation, windows, and Harrisburg's climate extremes. We perform detailed Manual J calculations to determine exact BTU requirements. Oversized furnaces waste energy and create comfort problems, while undersized units can't maintain temperature. Our 20+ years of experience ensures perfect sizing.

The percentage indicates how much heat is extracted from the gas burned. An 80% furnace vents 20% of heat up the chimney, while 95% units capture nearly all heat using a secondary heat exchanger. High-efficiency furnaces vent through PVC pipes, cost more initially but save significantly on gas bills, and qualify for larger rebates.

Replacing an old 60-70% efficient furnace with a 95% model typically reduces heating costs by 30-40%. For an average Harrisburg home spending $1,500 annually on heating, that's $450-600 yearly savings. Add the $600 federal tax credit and $500 UGI rebate, and payback happens quickly.

Most residential furnace installations complete in one day (6-8 hours). Complex installations involving venting changes, gas line upgrades, or ductwork modifications might require two days. We minimize disruption and protect your home throughout the process. Emergency replacements receive priority scheduling to restore heat quickly.

Yes! Converting from oil to gas typically saves 30-50% on heating costs. The process involves installing gas service (if not present), removing the oil tank, and installing a new gas furnace. Many Harrisburg homeowners have made this switch successfully. We handle the complete conversion process.

Annual professional maintenance is essential for efficiency, safety, and warranty compliance. This includes cleaning burners, checking heat exchangers, testing safety controls, and verifying proper operation. Change filters monthly during heating season. Our maintenance plans make care simple and affordable.

In Harrisburg's cold winters, high-efficiency furnaces typically provide excellent return on investment. While costing $1,000-2,000 more initially, they save $300-500 annually on gas bills. Combined with available rebates totaling $1,100, the payback period is often just 2-4 years, with savings continuing for the furnace's 15-20 year life.

While not always required, upgrading to a programmable or smart thermostat maximizes your new furnace's efficiency. Modern thermostats work better with two-stage and modulating furnaces, providing precise control and energy savings. We include basic thermostat installation and can quote advanced options.

Heil and other quality brands typically offer 10-year parts warranties with registration and lifetime heat exchanger warranties on select models. We provide labor warranties on our installation work. Extended warranties are available for additional protection. Proper maintenance is required to maintain warranty coverage.

Yes, we install furnaces in various locations including basements, attics, crawl spaces, and closets. Each location has specific requirements for clearances, venting, drainage (for high-efficiency models), and access. Horizontal furnaces work well in tight spaces. We'll recommend the best location for your home.

We handle complete removal and environmentally responsible disposal of your old equipment. This includes proper handling of any materials requiring special disposal. There's no need for you to deal with removal - it's included in our comprehensive installation service.

We provide documentation needed for both incentives. The federal tax credit is claimed on your tax return using IRS Form 5695. UGI rebates require an application we'll help complete. We're familiar with both processes and guide you through claiming your full savings.

Absolutely! Modern furnaces with variable-speed blowers and two-stage or modulating gas valves maintain more consistent temperatures, reduce drafts, control humidity better, and operate more quietly than older single-stage units. Most customers notice immediate comfort improvements beyond just energy savings.

Yes, we obtain all necessary permits and schedule required inspections for your furnace installation. Our familiarity with Harrisburg area codes and inspection requirements ensures smooth, compliant installation. This protects your investment and ensures safety.

With over 20 years serving Harrisburg, PA, we bring unmatched expertise to every installation. We're factory-trained, properly licensed, and committed to quality. Our partnership with Hearth makes financing easy, and we help maximize your rebates. Most importantly, we stand behind our work with comprehensive warranties and ongoing support.
