What is the process of a furnace installation?

As all homes and furnace installations are different, the process of installing a furnace is likely to vary between homes. Installing this type of equipment is incredibly complex and should only ever be executed by a professional heating technician who has the proper certifications and experience. 

That said, here is a general guideline of how your furnace installation in Winnipeg will unfold when you partner with the team at Furnasman Heating and Air Conditioning:

1. Initial consultation appointment: Before your installation begins, homeowners will have the opportunity to meet with a professional home comfort advisor who will assess your unique needs, the layout of your home, your budget, and more before determining what type of furnace will work for you.

2. Site preparation: On the day of your scheduled appointment, a group of certified furnace replacement technicians from our team will prepare the work area to ensure no damage is done to your home while tasks are underway.

3. Removing your old furnace: Our technicians will then disconnect your old furnace by shutting off gas lines and electrical wiring. Afterward, they will remove the unit for disposal by carrying it outside of your home.

4. New furnace fitting: Once this is complete, the technician team will clean up the area around your furnace to remove any accumulated dust or debris before bringing in the new unit.

5. Power connections: Afterward, our team will carefully connect all electrical, oil, or gas connections to your unit.

6. Thermostat installation: A thermostat, which regulates the operation of the furnace and temperature settings, will be mounted and connected.

7. Testing: To make sure it is operating correctly, the furnace will be examined. The system will then be calibrated by a technician for optimum performance.

8. Safety checks: To make sure that there are no gas leaks, carbon monoxide emissions, or other hazards, several safety inspections will be carried out.

9. Cleaning: After everything is completed, our technician team will clean their work area to ensure no debris is left behind.

10. Operation demonstration: Lastly, our team of technicians will provide you with a quick tutorial on how to use your newly installed heating system.

As you can see, there are a lot of tasks that need to be completed before a new furnace is up and running. Remember, hiring a professional and experienced furnace company is an absolute must.

How many hours does it take to install a furnace?

A typical furnace installation can take anywhere between 4 to 8 hours to complete from start to finish. That said, there are numerous factors that can influence how long your furnace replacement in Winnipeg will take. 

Here is a closer look at some of these variables in more detail:

  • Furnace Type: The installation time may vary depending on the type of furnace being installed. For instance, installing an entirely different kind or size of furnace that necessitates alterations to the current infrastructure in your home may take less time than a simple replacement of a furnace of a comparable size.
  • Location: The time needed may vary depending on where in your home the furnace is located. Installing it can take longer if it’s in a confined or challenging location.
  • Additional components: The installation time may increase if other components, such as humidifiers, air purifiers, or zoning systems, are also installed at the same time.
  • Ability and experience of the installation crew: A furnace installation team with experience will likely operate more effectively and finish the task sooner.
  • Unexpected problems: On occasion, during installation, unanticipated problems can occur, such as the identification of underlying concerns or complexities. The installation time may increase as a result of solving these problems.
  • Testing and calibration: To make sure the furnace is operating correctly after the actual installation is finished, the heating professionals will conduct tests and calibrations, which lengthens the installation time.

It’s important to go over the anticipated installation time with your Winnipeg furnace installation technician before work gets started. Based on the unique circumstances of your installation, they can offer a more precise timeline. Additionally, to protect your safety and the effectiveness of your heating system, the technician team should also keep you updated throughout the process and make sure the installation is done correctly.

How many people does it take to install a furnace?

Generally speaking, a team of two or more furnace technicians will perform any given furnace installation. 

Here’s why there are always several parties involved during this type of process:

  • Safety: Working with gas lines, electrical, and ventilation systems is a common part of installing furnaces. Multiple people provide for greater oversight and help in case of emergencies, which is a top priority when it comes to the safety of our team and our clients.
  • Complexity: Installing a furnace can be difficult because it calls for modifying ductwork, connecting gas lines, wiring electrical outlets, and making sure there is enough airflow. The installation will only be done correctly if there are several specialists with various skills available at the job site at all times. 
  • Efficiency: Handling heavy machinery and materials is required while installing a furnace, so having a team of experts on hand helps speed up the procedure. Additionally, it will speed up the installation so you can get back to enjoying your newly installed heating system as soon as possible.
  • Quality Control: By working together to make sure that all parts and connections are set up correctly, several installers can lessen the possibility of mistakes.
  • Lifting and system positioning: Furnaces can be difficult to lift and move into position. The lifting and placing of the unit can be done safely with the help of a team.

However, the precise number of people needed can vary based on the installation’s unique circumstances. Just keep in mind that hiring a trustworthy heating company with knowledgeable experts who can evaluate your individual demands and guarantee a secure and efficient furnace installation is crucial.

    How Do I Prepare a Furnace for Installation?

    To ensure your new furnace is installed correctly, it is crucial to prepare your home and the installation location. 

    The following actions can be taken to get your household ready for your new heating system:

    • Make the installation area clear: To ensure that our installation team has clear and secure access, we recommend that you remove any items or barriers from the installation area. This applies to any obstacles, such as furniture, storage, and other items that could get in the way. 
    • Pet security: If you have pets, ensure they are in another room or put in a kennel while the installation is being done. This guarantees their safety throughout the installation. 
    • Establish a Path: From the front door to the installation location, make a clear route. This will make moving tools and supplies for our team safer and more streamlined. 
    • Protect your flooring: Lay down protective covers, such as cardboard or drop cloths, to shield your flooring from dust, installation tools, and possible harm if you can. If you are unable to, our technicians can provide protective cloths to lay down.
    • Remove wall hangings: Take down any photos, furnishings, or wall hangings that are close to the installation site. This lowers the possibility of damage occurring during installation.
    • Turn power off: Ensure that the power has been switched off for the current furnace. You will be guided through this process by your Winnipeg furnace replacement specialist.
    • Clean your utility space: If the new furnace is being placed in a utility room or basement, make sure the area is ordered and cleared to make room for the installation crew to work effectively.
    • Find a cozy space to relax: Depending on the complexity of the installation, it could take a few hours or more. Make sure your home has a pleasant area you can stay in during the installation since your heating system can be momentarily out of commission.
    • Ask questions: If you have any worries about the installation procedure, the new furnace, or anything else, don’t be afraid to ask our team.
