Furnace Installation in Decatur, IN

You don’t want a furnace that’s too small, but going bigger than you need isn’t the answer either. An undersized furnace can run and run without getting the house warm enough, while an oversized furnace may turn on and off constantly and leave some rooms warmer than others. We’ll calculate what your home needs based on its size, insulation, windows, ductwork, and other factors.

Fuel type is one of the bigger decisions you’ll make. A gas furnace requires natural gas service, proper venting, and the appropriate gas line, while an electric furnace needs an electrical setup capable of handling its power requirements. We’ll look at what’s available at your property and explain the installation requirements and ongoing costs of each option.

AFUE, or Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency, tells you how effectively a fuel-burning furnace converts fuel into heat over the course of a year. Higher-efficiency gas furnaces can use less fuel to produce the heat your home needs, but they generally cost more upfront and may have different venting requirements. We’ll put the numbers down on paper so you can decide how much efficiency is worth paying for.

A single-stage furnace has one heating output—it’s either on or off—while a two-stage furnace can run at a lower output during milder weather and step up to full capacity when more heat is needed. You can also choose between standard fixed-speed blowers and variable-speed blowers that adjust airflow in smaller increments, which can help with temperature consistency, noise, and filtration. We’ll explain how these options would affect your home so you can debate the extra costs involved.

With a brand-new furnace installation, we’re often planning more than where the furnace itself will sit. Your home needs the right ductwork, supply and return vents, and thermostat, too. If you’re adding central AC or a heat pump, we can plan both systems at the same time and make sure they’re properly matched. It’s much easier to get everything working together when it’s designed that way from the start.
