Furnace Installation in Winchester, KY

Nobody wants to make their morning coffee in a parka or watch TV in a snowsuit because their home is too cold to live comfortably. You rely on your heating system to keep you safe and warm during the cooler months. Our team of HVAC experts in Winchester, KY can help with any of your heating needs, from purchasing a new furnace installation to repair and maintenance service to keep your heating system running efficiently.

Furnaces available today are more efficient and sophisticated than ever before. With the complex engineering that goes into each model, furnaces now have a longer lifespan than older models. In older furnaces, the heat exchanger was good for about 15 years with regular care and maintenance. Today, a furnace should last 20 years or longer if it is taken care of. New furnaces are designed to work smarter, not harder. This allows them to work longer with less wear and tear than older models.

When shopping for a new furnace installation in Winchester, KY the options are limitless. The overwhelming possibilities can make your head spin, but the ABCs of furnace installation can help you choose the best one for your home.

A – A Fuel Source

Most furnaces are powered by either gas or electricity. It’s important to consider the cost of the unit, as well as the cost and efficiency of your energy source so you can make the best decision for your home. 

B – BTU Size

Most homeowners assume they’ll replace their furnace with one of similar size, but this isn’t always the case. Recalculate your home’s heating load in connection with updated furnace efficiency to determine the best size. Sizing is measured in BTUs. A single gas furnace typically starts around 40,000 BTUs and gets as high as 135,000 BTUs. Once a home exceeds around 5,000 square feet, you may be better off with two systems rather than having the largest system.

C – Competence Ratings

Furnaces are rated by efficiency using the AFUE scale. The higher the rating the more efficient (and generally more expensive). Standard efficiency systems are rated at 80 percent with some reaching up to 98 percent. You want the highest rating you can get while still staying within your budget.
