If you are thinking about a home heater replacement, Hickory Heating and Cooling LLC’s HVAC team can evaluate your home and recommend appropriate heating installation options for you.

When SHOULD YOU CONSIDER REPLACING YOUR FURNACE?

The simple answer—you probably need to replace your home heating system when it is more than 15 or 20 years old, too damaged to repair, or doesn’t run as efficiently as it should. However, you want to consider some other reasons why it might be time to schedule a replacement.

Even if your system appears to be working well enough, with a furnace more than 15 years old, the recommendation is that you consider replacing the system or begin planning for eventual replacement.

Other signs that your system may need replacing include:

Odd sounds
Frequent repairs
No longer working
Increased utility bills
Blowing cold air instead of heat
Uneven heating throughout the home
Turning on and off

Routine maintenance can help identify potential problems in your heating system before it fails. Preventive replacement occurs during the crucial time between identifying the problem and system failure. The idea is to consider the problem and plan to replace the system in advance, ultimately avoiding unnecessary emergency services or higher-than-average utility bills.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you install a heating system in a house?
Unfortunately, a simple answer to this question can prove to answer outright. Before installing a new heating system, it is essential to understand what type is currently in place. Several factors in choosing a replacement include the size of the home to be heated and whether any equipment modifications are needed. However, a basic heater installation process usually includes:
- Selecting the right equipment
- Finding suitable space for a new install or upgrade
- Laying any new ductwork, piping, or electrical systems that may be needed
- Placing new or additional vents in each room
Can you put central air in a house with no ductwork?

You cannot put central heating in a house without ductwork, but you have a couple of options.

The first option involves installing ductless air conditioning systems, such as mini-splits. This option works best to heat or cool individual spaces rather than an entire home. It is affordable as a single unit to heat a detached garage or mother-in-law unit, but not for multiple rooms in a home.

The alternative requires adding ductwork. Small duct options are available for homes with limited space for ducting.
How long does it take to install a new furnace?

The amount of time needed for furnace installation depends on the installer’s experience. While the average time to install a furnace is approximately four to eight hours, the average homeowner with limited do-it-yourself experience may take almost twice as long to accomplish the task.

The task of installing a new furnace involves removing the old furnace before installing any additional ductwork, electrical modifications, or gas line modifications to fit the new system. Whether replacing an outdated system or changing heating methods, new furnace installation may not be a simple swap. For example, it may require several modifications to replace an electric furnace with a gas furnace installation.

Any changes to an existing gas system or a new gas install require a licensed professional to ensure all gas lines are secure.
