Everything Included in a New Furnace Install

A good install covers far more than swapping a box in the basement. Here is what goes into a typical job, from the first visit to the last test.

• Home visit and load calculation: We measure the house, count windows and check insulation, then size the furnace to what the home needs rather than to the nameplate on the old unit.
• Equipment choices: You see two or three options at different price points, from standard efficiency to high efficiency with a variable speed blower, so the decision stays in your hands.
• Removal and disposal: The old furnace leaves with us, along with packaging and scrap, so your basement is not left holding a pile of leftovers or a stack of cardboard.
• Venting or chimney liner: New PVC venting or a chimney liner is added when the setup calls for it, since the exhaust path matters as much as the furnace itself.
• Thermostat, permit and inspection: A new thermostat is set up, and we pull the Haverford Township permit and schedule the inspection so you do not chase paperwork.
• Startup and combustion test: We fire the furnace up, measure the exhaust with a combustion analyzer and register the warranty in your name before we pack up.

Why Old Furnaces Run Too Big in Havertown

Many furnaces in Havertown twins were sized decades ago by rule of thumb, and they are too big for homes that now have new windows and added insulation. An oversized furnace blasts hot air, shuts off fast and wears out early, and rooms on the far side of the house often stay uneven.

Switching to a 95% furnace means new PVC venting out a side wall, which takes planning on tight twin lots where windows and neighbors sit close. Old masonry chimneys left with only a water heater can also need a liner. We map these details during the home visit so install day has no surprises.
