What to Expect When You Get a Furnace Installed

September 29, 2017

So, you’re buying 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 anticipate it to take several hours. To help make the process go as quickly and easily as possible, there are some things you can do to get ready. That way, you’ll be returning to cozy comfort in no time.

It’s very common for a furnace room to act as storage space. So, if there are items near your furnace or in its path, place it a safe distance away for the installation. Don’t forget that the Appalachian Heating technicians will need lots of room by the furnace to move around as they work. Clearing the area will provide 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 space clean and your belongings undamaged. It’s also wise to move any furniture that’s in the path to the furnace room.

You should be aware that you could need a new thermostat, depending on the model of your previous 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 guarantee peak comfort and keep your house at your desired temperatures 24/7. If you need or would like a new thermostat installed during your furnace installation, you may also want to have touchup paint if it’s a different size or shape from your previous thermostat to clean up your wall.
