FURNACE INSTALLATION & REPLACEMENT SERVICES

This furnace type puts heat out at one speed – high. It puts out the max amount of heat the unit is designed for regardless of how cold it is outdoors or in different rooms. The result is that your energy bills are higher than they could be since your furnace is using as much energy as possible every time it turns on.

With two speeds, a two-stage furnace is more efficient than a single stage system. This type of furnace operates at a low speed a majority of the time to conserve energy. The low setting of a two-stage furnace is designed to utilize 65 percent of the total capacity. 

As temperatures outside drop lower, the furnace kicks into the second higher speed to increase the amount of heat produced. We offer two-stage furnace installation and replacement services in Conshohocken, Wilmington, Easton, and other areas. Our technicians are committed to helping you find a furnace that can produce a sufficient amount of heat for your home.

With this type of furnace, the term variable speed refers to the fan motor’s speed instead of the number of stages or levels the unit goes through. The fan motor can move at different speeds to provide fine control of the amount of heated air that moves through the house.

An advantage of hiring a certified technician to perform a furnace installation for a variable speed system includes enhanced air circulation. Even when your furnace isn’t producing heat, the motor in the fan can continue to circulate air. This improves your air quality since the air is constantly passing through and being cleaned by your HVAC filter. The furnace doesn’t have to come on quite often, which means lower utility bills and less energy use.

If you’re making a choice about one more repair or committing to a new furnace, it’s important to know some clear signs that a replacement is a direction to go.

Your furnace is one of the biggest energy users in your home, so the more efficiently it runs, the better for your wallet. If you’ve noticed your utility bills going up, it could be your furnace needs some attention. The newer and better cared for your furnace is, the more efficiently it will run. A repair might deliver a boost, but more often, the only way to get better efficiency is by installing a new unit.

Dust is a fact of life. But if you see more of it than usual, it might be a sign your furnace isn’t doing a good job at removing it from the warm air before it gets distributed into your house.

This could be a simple fix if you haven’t changed your furnace filter in a while. On the other hand, if you haven’t changed your air filter in a long time, the  internal parts may be damaged. Once the parts in your furnace are dirty and defective, you will need to hire a professional to conduct a furnace installation to restore the warm air in your home.

While a furnace lasts quite a while, this type of system is not designed to last forever. Unfortunately, they don’t come with an expiration date stamped on them, so there’s no way to know when the furnace will die. If your furnace is at least 15 years old, you should weigh any repair projects against the value of performing a furnace replacement or installation. Our team of certified technicians offer heating system installation services in areas such as Ardmore, Wilmington, Upper Darby, Newark, and Easton. The age of your unit puts performance problems in context. Our technicians will help you determine whether or not it will cost more to repair or replace your system.

If your house feels colder than normal, double-check that your thermostat is set correctly and working properly. If that’s not the issue and the problem came on suddenly, leaks in your ductwork could be to blame.

If you’re noticing different temperatures between rooms, know that you can’t “fix” things by turning the thermostat up. Uneven heating is a hallmark issue for old, single-speed furnaces, and another sign it’s time for a furnace replacement.

Banging and screeching noises don’t mean your house is haunted. Instead, those unfamiliar sounds mean something is going quite wrong with your furnace. Squealing and screeching sounds indicate the need for a blower adjustment, while grinding and banging means a different repair is needed.

When you first start the furnace up at the beginning of the cold season, you might expect a musty smell from your system. Although it is not abnormal to encounter strange odors from your furnace at the beginning of the winter season, the odors should disappear in a couple of days. If you smell a burning odor, this is a sign of a bigger problem that can be fixed by performing a furnace installation.
