Most furnace installations take between 4-8 hours, depending on the complexity of your system and any modifications needed to your existing ductwork or electrical connections. If you’re replacing a similar-sized unit with straightforward connections, you’re looking at the shorter end of that range. More complex installations involving ductwork modifications or electrical upgrades can take longer. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe upfront so you can plan accordingly, and we work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine.
Furnace sizing depends on several factors including your home’s square footage, insulation quality, ceiling height, window efficiency, and New England’s climate demands. A unit that’s too small won’t keep you comfortable during cold snaps, while an oversized furnace will cycle on and off frequently, wasting energy and creating uneven temperatures. Professional load calculations take all these factors into account to determine the right BTU output for your specific home. This isn’t guesswork – proper sizing is essential for efficiency, comfort, and equipment longevity.
In New Bedford and Bristol County, gas furnaces are typically the more cost-effective choice for heating costs, especially during our cold winters. Natural gas generally costs less per BTU than electricity, and gas furnaces heat your home faster than electric units. However, the best choice depends on your home’s existing utilities, local gas availability, and your long-term plans. If your home doesn’t currently have gas service, the installation costs might affect your decision. We’ll review your specific situation and utility costs to help you make the most economical choice for your circumstances.
Most furnaces last 15-20 years with proper maintenance, but several signs indicate it’s time for replacement sooner. If your furnace needs frequent repairs, your energy bills keep climbing, or some rooms never seem to get warm, replacement often makes more financial sense than continued repairs. Age matters too – if your furnace is over 15 years old and showing problems, new high-efficiency models will likely save you enough on energy costs to justify the investment. We can evaluate your current system’s condition and help you decide whether repair or replacement makes more sense for your budget.
New furnaces need annual professional maintenance to keep warranties valid and ensure safe, efficient operation. This includes cleaning or replacing filters regularly – typically every 1-3 months during heating season. Professional maintenance covers cleaning internal components, checking safety controls, testing electrical connections, and verifying proper combustion. Many homeowners join service programs like our Dempsey Comfort Club to ensure they don’t miss important maintenance schedules. Proper maintenance prevents most emergency breakdowns and keeps your system running efficiently, which protects your investment and keeps energy costs down.
Yes, we handle all required permits and coordinate inspections with Bristol County and local municipalities. Furnace installations require permits to ensure safety codes are met, and most areas require inspections before the system can be legally operated. Trying to navigate permit requirements yourself can be time-consuming and confusing, especially if you’re not familiar with local codes. We know exactly what paperwork is needed, when inspections must be scheduled, and how to ensure everything meets local requirements. This takes the administrative burden off you and ensures your installation is completely legal and up to code.
