What to expect during a Furnace Installation

When homeowners in the Sault Ste Marie community choose to work with 669 Heat, they can expect a high-quality customer service experience, single-day installation, and long-lasting results.

On the day of your furnace installation, a professional team of technicians will arrive at your home at a predetermined time to ensure you are prepared for our arrival. Your assigned furnace technicians will then remove your old furnace and safely move it to the exterior of your home for it to be disposed of properly. We will then clean out the area before installing your new furnace and testing it to ensure all mechanisms work correctly.

Homeowners can expect the entire installation to take approximately 6 hours out of the day before they can get back to their regular routine without interruptions. While we will be required to shut off your home’s heat, we promise our furnace technicians will work quickly to ensure you aren’t without heat for long.

What size furnace do I need?

There are several factors that will determine what size furnace you will need for your home. However, the most significant factor influencing your furnace size will be the square footage of your home. Other factors that will affect the size of your furnace include:

  • The type and quality of your home’s ductwork
  • The age of your home
  • The quality of your home’s insulation
  • Your home’s square footage
  • Where you live and the average climate
  • How much sun your home gets and which way it faces
  • The number of people who live in your home

To ensure your home is equipped with a properly sized furnace, a technician will provide you with a comprehensive consultation before the date of your scheduled installation by surveying your home to ensure the one you choose will work optimally.

How long does it take to replace a furnace?

While the length of your replacement appointment will vary depending on the size of your home, as a rule of thumb, homeowners can expect the installation process to take approximately 6 hours from start to finish. This helps ensure that your furnace is not only appropriately installed but has passed all required tests that will guarantee it will work optimally throughout your home without any problems down the road.

Although technicians will work efficiently to ensure you get back to your regular routine as soon as possible, we suggest blocking off enough time throughout your day to make sure you experience a stress-free installation.

How long do furnace warranties last?

Knowing you are protected against unpreventable damages to your home’s heating system is key to providing homeowners peace of mind. Therefore, 669 Heat is pleased to offer several furnace warranties that can help you avoid paying for unexpected costs associated with your furnace that may arise throughout the years.

Additionally, 669 Heat prides itself on offering a wide selection of energy-efficient furnaces that provide homeowners the opportunity to choose a product that works for their needs. To learn more about furnace warranties available to you, along with the discounts and promotions we have going on, make sure to ask your technician during your free home consultation to find out how you can save money on your new installation.

Furthermore, to ensure your furnace installation is completed correctly, homeowners in the Sault Ste Marie area should partner with a professional installation company like 669 Heat. Not only will our technicians provide you with professional recommendations about which warranties and products will work best in your home, but we’ll also make sure that your entire installation experience is seamless from start to finish.

Does your furnace filter need to be replaced?

Yes, the filter installed in your furnace will need to be replaced throughout the year. It is suggested that you change or clean your filter every three months to ensure you get rid of any dust, dirt, hair, and other debris that can clog your furnace and diminish your home’s air quality. However, if you do have pets, you may wish to clean or change your furnace filter more frequently. As your air circulates through your furnace system, it is prone to collecting impurities found in your air which can end up making you and your family sick over time. Therefore, it is best to maintain your furnace filter as frequently as possible so you can breathe in clean air and live comfortably throughout your home all year round.

How to clean and replace your filter:

  1. Ensure that you switch your furnace off before removing its filter.
  2. Take out the old filter and replace it with a new one.
  3. If you have a permanent filter, carefully remove and vacuum the debris, before wiping it with a wet cloth to ensure it is clean before returning it to your furnace.
  4. Once you are done, turn your furnace back on.

Is your home’s furnace in need of being replaced? If the answer is yes, then it’s time to partner with the team at 669 Heat.
