What to Expect When You Get a Furnace Installed

September 29, 2017

So, you’re purchasing a new furnace. It may be a significant investment, but an efficient, well-running furnace is vital to your comfort. A furnace installation is a big job, and you can presume it to take several hours. To help make the installation go as quickly and smoothly as possible, there are several things you can do to plan ahead. That way, you’ll be getting back to cozy comfort in no time.

It’s very common for a furnace room to serve as storage space. So, if there is items near your furnace or in its path, place it a safe distance away for the installation. Keep in mind that the Central Heating & Plumbing technicians will need sufficient room surrounding the furnace to move around as they work. Clearing the area will give them space and will help protect your belongings from being damaged. You can be sure that our experts will take extra care to keep your house clean and your belongings undamaged. It’s also a good idea to move any furniture located in the path to the furnace room.

You should be aware that you may need a new thermostat, depending on the model of your former furnace. Plus, now is a great time to upgrade to a smart thermostat to take full advantage of all the benefits of a new furnace. A smart thermostat can help ensure peak comfort and keep your indoor space at your desired temperatures 24/7. If you need or selected a new thermostat installed during your furnace installation, you may also want to get some touchup paint if it’s a different size or shape from your original thermostat to clean up your wall.
