Types of Furnaces

When choosing a furnace, it's important to consider the fuel type and the efficiency rating, as well as your specific needs and budget.

  • Gas Furnaces
    These are available in both conventional (80-89% AFUE) and high-efficiency (90% or higher AFUE) models. High-efficiency gas furnaces are often the most cost-effective option for homeowners due to the relatively low cost of natural gas.
  • Electric Furnaces
    These are generally less efficient than high-efficiency gas furnaces but can be a good option in areas without natural gas access or for smaller spaces with lower heating demands.
  • Oil Furnaces
    These are available in varying efficiency levels but are becoming less common due to the higher cost of oil, as well as environmental concerns. They are generally used in areas without access to natural gas.

The Furnace Installation Process

Installing a new furnace is a complex process that requires specialized knowledge and tools. 

Here's a general overview of what you can expect:

1. Removal of the old furnace: The old unit is carefully disconnected and removed from your home

2. Preparation of the installation site: The area where the new furnace will be placed is prepared, including any necessary modifications to ductwork or venting.

3. Installation of the new furnace: The new furnace is carefully positioned and connected to the ductwork, gas or electrical lines, and venting system.

4. Testing and calibration: The system is thoroughly tested to verify proper operation and efficiency.

5. Final inspection and cleanup: The installation area is cleaned up, and the technician will review the system's operation and maintenance with you.

To keep your home safe and warm, and your new furnace running smoothly, it's best to have it installed by a qualified HVAC professional like the team at Woodfin - Your Home Team.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

How do I know if my furnace needs to be replaced?

Several signs indicate that your furnace may need to be replaced. These include:

  • Age: If your furnace is 15-20 years old or older, it is likely nearing the end of its lifespan.
  • Increased Energy Bills: A noticeable increase in your energy bills could indicate that your furnace is losing efficiency.
  • Frequent Repairs: If you are constantly repairing your furnace, it may be more cost-effective to replace it.
  • Uneven Heating: If some rooms in your home are warmer than others, it could be a sign of a failing furnace.
  • Strange Noises or Smells: Unusual noises or smells coming from your furnace should be addressed immediately.
  • Yellow Flame: A healthy gas furnace flame is blue. A yellow flame indicates incomplete combustion and requires immediate service.

What size furnace do I need for my Richmond home?

Determining the correct furnace size is crucial for optimal performance and efficiency. An undersized furnace will struggle to heat your home during cold weather, while an oversized furnace will cycle on and off frequently, leading to wasted energy and increased wear and tear.

To determine the appropriate furnace size, we consider several factors, including:

  • Square Footage: The size of your home is a primary factor in determining the required heating capacity.
  • Climate: Richmond's climate requires a furnace that can handle cold winters.
  • Insulation: Properly insulated homes require less heating capacity.
  • Window and Door Efficiency: Energy-efficient windows and doors reduce heat loss.
  • Ductwork: The condition and size of your ductwork can affect furnace performance.
