New furnace costs are a substantial investment, both for the equipment and the proper installation. As a result, it is not recommended to treat this as a DIY home project or hire just anyone to get the job done. Furnace installation should be done by a highly trained and insured HVAC contractor, with the proper understanding of how your home heating and cooling system will work most efficiently.

The first step with a furnace problem is to see if heating repair is an option and then weigh the costs. If a new furnace is the right option, it is important to choose the proper furnace for your specific home. The proper furnace replacement could save you significant costs on your utility bills in the future.

The most important brand when installing a new furnace is the name on the installers’ shirt, not the name on the box. The highest efficiency furnace improperly installed will end up costing you more in fuel & repairs and will end up needing to be replaced earlier than it should.
