If set up properly, your new furnace can provide years of problem-free service and may even save you money on monthly repairs to boot. Here in Mission Viejo CA furnace replacement makes a lot of sense this time of year, when heating season is over and you won\u2019t need to warm your home for a while. A good technician can explain the specifics to you, but here\u2019s what you need to know when installing a new furnace.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Get it properly sized<\/strong><br \/>\nBy the size of the furnace, we mean its heating power, which needs to match the specifics of your home (square footage, sunlight exposure, the amount of insulation and other factors which will influence its heating needs). If the furnace isn\u2019t powerful enough, it won\u2019t do the job. If it\u2019s too powerful, it will cycle on and off rapidly throughout the day. Either way, the results will increase the wear and tear on your system, as well as costing you more in monthly bills.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Aim for efficiency<\/strong><br \/>\nFurnaces measure efficiency with an AFUE rating, which stands for Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency. The higher the rating, the more efficient the furnace. If possible, you want to get a new furnace at least as efficient as your old one: more so if you can afford it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Consider bells and whistles<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you have an older thermostat, this is a good opportunity to install a new one with features such as smart technology and remote programming from your phone. You might also want to install a zone control system that lets you turn off the heat in parts of the house you aren\u2019t using.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For more on installing a new furnace, or for further details on what you need to know, contact the experts at Saddleback Plumbing.
