HEATING & FURNACE INSTALLATION

With so many different kinds of heating solutions available to homeowners, it can be confusing to know whether a furnace is right for you. From the type of fuel used to ease of installation, furnaces tick a lot of boxes.

You Want a Heating System That Lasts

A good quality furnace can heat your home for up to 20 years, though a heating professional will need to assess most furnaces for efficiency after 15 years.

When shopping around for a long-life furnace, it's important to know what you're looking at when it comes to furnace materials and features.

A few factors to know about include:

• The size of the furnace you need

• The efficiency rating of the furnace

• The reliability of the make and model you're considering

• The type of fuel or energy source you plan to use

Get these things right the first time around and the investment you made in your furnace will keep your home warm for close to two decades.

You Want Environmentally Friendly Heating

Electric furnaces have zero carbon content so they leave the air around them clean and free of emissions. In areas of the USA where providers feed wind and solar energy into the grid, you can even power your furnace on renewable energy.

Of all the fossil fuels available today, natural gas burns the cleanest. It produces less carbon dioxide (CO2) and fewer air pollutants than all other fossil fuels while providing an equal amount of energy.

Not only do metal furnaces last decades, but you can also recycle them. You might even be able to make a bit of money off scrapping on an old furnace!

You Want Reliable Heating

Because furnaces burn fuel or use the electricity grid, they will generate heat even on the coldest of days. Furnaces are also efficient, meaning that they give you the most heat for the money that you spend.

Of course, furnace reliability can vary from brand to brand. Be sure to check out online reviews or ask your local furnace installation company for advice.

You Want to Make Your Home Comfortable

Maybe you've never thought about it, but the quality of the heat in your home matters. The hot air generated using a furnace feels toasty and comforting. It resembles the type of heat you might feel when gathered around a fireplace.

The heat generated by other systems is more passive.

Some types of heating systems distribute heat haphazardly throughout a home. This can leave you with troublesome hot and cold spots: areas in the home where the heat is venting in at a higher or lower rate. Install a zone control furnace-powered system and you'll be able to adjust how you distribute the heat throughout your home.

Want a warm bedroom but a cool home gym? Want to turn the heating off when the guest room isn't in use? It's doable with a furnace.

You Want an Affordable Heating Solution

There's an incredible range of furnaces on the market today, so you're certain to find an option that fits your budget without having to compromise on quality. Search "where to buy a gas furnace" (or other types of furnaces) and visit the stores near you to take a look at all the options in person.

If you choose to buy a furnace powered by natural gas, you'll be saving on fuel costs, too. Oil and propane were once the cheapest fuels, but costs have risen dramatically in recent years. Natural gas is usually the cheapest option in most areas-it's even cheaper than electricity.

Not only are furnaces among the most cost-effective heating purchases, but they're also easier (and thus cheaper) to install, repair, and maintain than other systems. If done by a professional, building a furnace platform is simple, cheap, and quick. And so long as you've installed a standard model furnace, repair work is affordable.
