What to Expect With a Furnace Installation
Once you’ve made the decision to buy a gas furnace, it’s helpful to know what to expect with a furnace installation. Below, we run down a “to-do” list for the technician, so you know what to expect throughout the installation experience.
Proper Sizing Prior to Furnace Installation
The key to any mechanical installation is sizing up the job correctly. A licensed HVAC service technician will have visited your home to evaluate equipment size and ease of installation. Not all homes are alike, and many require additional time for tricky workarounds.
Your contractor will take measurements of your home then perform calculations to verify the right size for your air conditioner, furnace or heat pump. Bigger isn’t always better when it comes to performance and comfort.
During the Install: Sealing Ducts & Optimizing Air Flow
You can buy the best gas furnace available, but if your ducts are damaged or not sealed properly, you’ll be heating the outdoors and wondering why your high-efficiency gas furnace costs more than its replacement. A qualified technician will measure for duct leakage and make the necessary repairs to minimize energy waste.
In order to operate at peak efficiency, a heating or cooling system needs to have the proper volume of air flow. Your contractor should also measure air flow and make the necessary adjustments.
Creature Comfort Factors
Most people want to know if they have to hang around all day or if they’ll be without heat. Well, there’s good news and bad news.
Most furnace installations can be performed in one day. It’s also not necessary to remain at home all day. If your technician is bonded-which they should be-they’ve been vetted, so their reputation is solid. If you’ve done your due diligence and checked their references, it’s generally okay to run a few errands while your new furnace is being installed.
The not so good news is that, since the old system will be disconnected, you won’t be able to run your heat (which makes leaving the house sound like a good idea). And, depending on the complexity and type of the installation, expect to be without heat for a few to several hours.

These guys were my second call when my furnace stopped working properly. The first company I used sent a tech out who said the furnace needed to be replaced, and gave me a quote, but said he "jiggled a wire" and got it running again for the time being.
When it went out again the other day, I called Ray N. Welter. Their tech, Ralph, fixed the problem in half an hour. He told me the furnace is pretty old, but his fix should get me through the winter "and maybe a couple more," and then gave me a quote that was lower than the first company.
These guys are rad.

Furnace stopped working. When that happens after hours you learn a lot about companies. Today I called RW and got a person on the phone that knows about furnaces and he dispatched a service person Phil within 2 hours. I called them based on personal refer and reviews. They are excellent. Despite having a very old furnace it was the second time that this company said I did not need to replace. If I did replace it I want a Trane and RW would do to the work. For now I will call them for fall/spring tune ups and love that they don't have the club memberships etc. Just good solid customer service for all customers. A really ++ experience. Family run business with integrity.

If you need superior service this is your company!!! We were in Florida experiencing our first year as "snowbirds" when our furnace (in Bloomington) stopped working. Rick Welter personally took our call and not only sent a technician to our cold home, but checked on it for the next two days until our new heating unit could be properly installed. Phenomenal service!
In addition to the great service, their pricing was very competitive. I highly recommend this company for all of your heating or A/C needs!!!
