How Do I Know If I Need a New Furnace?

If your furnace is over 15 years old, frequently needs repairs, or struggles to heat your home evenly, it may be time for a replacement. Rising energy bills and unusual noises can also indicate a failing system. A professional inspection can determine whether a new furnace is the best option for efficiency and comfort.

What Are the Benefits of Installing a New Furnace?

A new furnace provides improved energy efficiency, more consistent heating, and fewer repair issues. Modern models come with advanced features like variable-speed blowers and smart thermostat compatibility. Upgrading can also reduce energy bills and improve overall indoor air quality.

Should I Choose a Gas or Electric Furnace?

Gas furnaces tend to be more cost-effective for long-term heating, as natural gas is often cheaper than electricity. Electric furnaces, however, require less maintenance and can be a better option for homes without a gas line. The best choice depends on your home’s setup, budget, and heating preferences.

How Long Does Furnace Installation Take?

Most furnace installations can be completed within a single day, but complex setups may take longer. The process includes removing the old unit, installing the new system, and testing for proper operation. Our team ensures a smooth installation with minimal disruption to your home.

Can a New Furnace Lower My Energy Bills?

Yes, modern furnaces are designed with higher energy efficiency ratings, meaning they use less fuel or electricity to generate the same amount of heat. A properly installed and well-maintained furnace can significantly reduce heating costs. Choosing a high-efficiency model with an ENERGY STAR® rating can maximize savings.

What Size Furnace Do I Need for My Home?

The right furnace size depends on factors like your home’s square footage, insulation, and climate. An undersized unit will struggle to heat your home, while an oversized unit may cycle too frequently, leading to inefficiency. A professional load calculation ensures you get the best system for optimal comfort and efficiency.

Do I Need to Upgrade My Thermostat When Installing a New Furnace?

While not always necessary, upgrading to a smart thermostat can enhance your new furnace’s efficiency and performance. A modern thermostat allows for better temperature control, scheduling, and energy savings. Our technicians can install and program a compatible thermostat for maximum comfort.

What Should I Do to Prepare for Furnace Installation?

Clearing the area around your current furnace and ensuring easy access for technicians can help streamline the installation process. If possible, have a plan for pets and small children to keep them safe during the work. Our team will handle the rest, ensuring a hassle-free and professional installation experience.

It was a pleasure to have Justin McCowan work on our HVAC thermostat issues. He explained issues in terms we were able to understand. He ordered a new thermostat to replace the faulty one. He replaced as soon as new thermostat became available. Justin explained that parts and labor were covered by the warranty. He also encouraged us to call with any additional questions or concerns. Justin is very thorough and professional.

Justin did a fantastic job servicing my system! He was knowledgeable and skilled, and also personable and kind! He carefully explained what he was doing every step of the way. He appropriately set my expectations for when I could expect the part to be received and the final repair to be done. He was respectful of my home, and while he was very entertaining to talk to, his conversation did not interfere with the work he was there to do. He was very efficient And professional. His brother Christian also works for Ted’s and has done a service call for me, and his level of service is just as good as his brothers. In fact, in the years since Ted’s installed my system, every technician they have sent out has been exceptional. In the five years since they have installed my 3-zone Variable-speed Trane heat pump, their level of support has been incredible.

The guys at Ted's were able to get us a new system installed before the summer heat started kicking in. They had requoted a system that we were looking at last year and once we decided to move forward we they were at our house in a few days. The installation crew was at the house for two days and they were very friendly and knowledgeable. They replaced our old system and added zoning for the upstairs and downstairs. They made sure to clean up and were quick to answer questions if we had any. If you're looking for a new system or just annual maintenance I highly recommend using Ted's.
