What to Expect When You Get a Furnace Installed

September 29, 2017

So, you’re buying a new furnace. It may be a big investment, but an efficient, well-running furnace is so important to your comfort. A furnace installation is a big job, and you can anticipate it to take a few hours. To help make the installation go as quickly and efficiently as possible, there are some things you can do to prepare. That way, you’ll be back to cozy comfort in no time.

It’s very common for a furnace room to double as a place for additional storage. So, if there is items near your furnace or in its path, transfer it a safe distance away for the installation. Don’t forget that the Siloam Springs Heating & AC technicians will need lots of room around the furnace to move around as they work. Clearing the area will allow 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 a good idea to move any furniture situated in the path to the furnace room.

You should be aware that you may need a new thermostat, depending on the model of your former 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 maintain peak comfort and keep your indoor space 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 get some touchup paint if it’s a different size or shape from your previous thermostat to clean up your wall.
