Finding the Best Furnace Installers in Cincinnati

Who Is the Best Local Furnace Company?

When your furnace needs service (and every furnace needs service eventually!) or you need a new furnace installation, how do you know which Cincinnati area furnace company is going to do the best job, provide the best service, and recommend and install the best product? Should you pick the ones with the most experience, the best reviews, or the broadest product knowledge? Actually, if you have the option to choose a furnace installation company that meets all of these criteria, you’re well on your way to finding a top-notch furnace installer.

But the very best company to choose to install your tri-state area furnace is probably the one you trust the most.

If you have an HVAC partner you have worked with for years on cleaning, maintenance and repairs of your existing home heating and cooling system, and they have provided good service at a fair price every time you’ve dealt with them before, chances are you can trust them to install your new furnace properly.

Do It Right (So You Only Have to Do It Once*)

Anytime you’re having work done on your home’s heating and cooling systems, you want to make sure you’re working with experienced, trusted professionals. (*Obviously, if you own your home long enough, you might have to have your air conditioning or furnace systems replaced more than once, but you shouldn’t have to have them replaced more often than needed.) HVAC systems are expensive to replace, and you want to make sure that your investment in your home’s furnace or heating system is protected. Correct installation takes a lot of skill, and there are risks involved with getting it wrong. Make sure you consider (and discuss with your furnace installation company) the following points:

Getting the Correct Size

When it comes to replacing your home’s heating system, it is untrue that “bigger is better”, and it’s definitely not true that “one size fits all”. The best and most efficient way to heat a home is by purchasing and installing a furnace that is the appropriate size and type for your living space.

Putting It in the Right Place

Furnaces have a lot of hoses and connectors. If a furnace company comes in, puts the unit in the corner, and pulls out their tools, chances are they have already made a grave error. It is critical for the technician to determine where the return air duct will connect to the furnace. In most cases, they will have to cut a proper-sized hole in the furnace to get this vital step of the installation right. Talk with your furnace installation company to make sure you’re both on the same page about where your heating unit will be installed and what work will need to be done to make sure it’s put correctly in its place.

Setting a Proper Foundation

Furnaces should be set on rubber pads to minimize noise. If the furnace is in the basement, it should be installed at least four inches off the floor in case of basement flooding (which nobody wants, but everyone should be prepared for).

Making a Good Seal

In the course of your new furnace installation, there are two seal products we recommend: metal foil tape and duct sealant. Duct tape is not acceptable or appropriate – seeing a furnace installation company pull out a roll of duct tape is a red flag that you’re not dealing with a top HVAC installation company.

Protect Your Investment

By having a trusted, reputable, local company (not necessarily just the one that’s the cheapest) install your furnace, your investment will be protected, and you will get a good return on your investment over time. With proper installation and regular maintenance, your furnace will operate reliably and energy-efficiently for its expected life span.
