Why? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, there are a number of reasons. There is a great deal\nof work that goes into furnace installation, and a job done right not only\nkeeps you comfortable and impacts the effectiveness of your heater, but it also\nprotects your safety. Keep reading as we go over the steps our techs go through\nduring your furnace installation. Then, you\u2019ll understand why you need a\ntrained and experienced professional for the job. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Removing the Furnace<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Removing a furnace sounds easy enough, right? Actually, you\nmight be surprised that this is actually the most important, and the most laborious,\npart of the job. It\u2019s about more than simply pulling out the heater and\nthrowing it a dumpster (don\u2019t do this, by the way\u2014it must be properly disposed\nof). If the system is a gas-powered one, our pros have to make sure nothing is\ndamaged or out of place before putting in a new heater. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We need to make sure there is adequate space for your new\nheating system, and the space left must be adequately prepared for the\nplacement of a new furnace. Potential safety concerns must be eliminated, and\nwe have to ensure that your new furnace is appropriately sized for your living\nspace\u2014too big of a heater will be just as detrimental as too small of one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Making the Connections<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One your new furnace is placed where it\u2019s meant to be\u2014and this\nusually means bolting it to the floor\u2014our technicians will connect it to the\nimportant components of your home so that it can operate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This includes one very important part of your HVAC system\u2014the\nventilation. Your air ducts must be properly connected to the furnace without\ncausing any damage. Because the ducts often have to be shifted and adjusted to\nmake these connections, mistakes can happen, and furnace efficiency can suffer\ndue to damage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, we connect your furnace to its intended power source.\nAs we referenced in step 1, making the connection to your gas line is a job\nthat has to be done very carefully. Then comes the wiring connection. Even\ngas-powered systems have some electrical components, so this is necessary no\nmatter what type of furnace you have. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Testing Your New Heater<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the last step, but also very important. If our techs left your home after making that last connection without testing your furnace, you would have no way of knowing if it can perform efficiently as it&#8217;s designed to, or even as safely as it\u2019s meant to! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our technicians will turn on your furnace and measure the\nintake and airflow to ensure that the performance of your new furnace is\nefficient, and we\u2019ll make sure there are no potential hazards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>When you\u2019re looking for professional <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"\/heating\/furnace-installation-replacement\" target=\"_blank\">furnace installation in Maumee, OH<\/a>, reach out to <a href=\"\/contact\/send-message\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">AW Heating &amp; Cooling<\/a>\u2014Your Comfort Specialists! <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is a great deal of work that goes into furnace installation, and a job done right not only keeps you comfortable and impacts the effectiveness of your heater, but it also protects your safety. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[76],"tags":[107,93],"class_list":["post-502","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-heating-service","tag-furnace-installation","tag-maumee"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.awheatingandcooling.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/502","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.awheatingandcooling.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.awheatingandcooling.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.awheatingandcooling.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.awheatingandcooling.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=502"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.awheatingandcooling.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/502\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":506,"href":"https:\/\/www.awheatingandcooling.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/502\/revisions\/506"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.awheatingandcooling.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=502"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.awheatingandcooling.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=502"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.awheatingandcooling.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=502"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
