So, you’re getting a new furnace. It may be a significant investment, but an efficient, well-running furnace is key 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 easily as possible, there are several 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 act as a storage room. So, if there are items near your furnace or in its path, transfer it a safe distance away for the installation. Keep in mind that the Three Rivers Heating & Cooling technicians will need plenty of room surrounding the furnace to move around as they work. Clearing the area will give them space and will help keep your belongings from being damaged. You can be confident that our experts will take extra care to keep your home clean and your belongings undamaged. It’s also smart to move any furniture located in the path to the furnace room.
You should be aware that you could need a new thermostat, depending on the model of your former furnace. Plus, now may be the perfect 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 home 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 have touchup paint if it’s a different size or shape from your previous thermostat to clean up your wall.
