Your appointment is booked to have your <a href=\"\/heating\/installation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">heating system replaced<\/a>. You\u2019ve chosen exactly the type and model you want, with the help of HVAC experts. You know you and your family will be cozy and happy with it for many years to come. But that installation appointment is coming up. Are you ready? Do you know everything you need to know, or do you have questions?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, we\u2019re always happy to answer anything our customers want to know. We believe that the more you know, the better performance you can get from your HVAC systems. Let\u2019s arm you with some knowledge! Here\u2019s the scoop on how heating installation works, how long it takes, and what you can do to be as prepared as possible and make the process go quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Heating Installation Process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, some steps need to be taken before the heating system itself can be installed. If this is the case for you, don\u2019t worry, you\u2019ll know about this in advance. It won\u2019t be a surprise on installation day! This can happen if sections of your ductwork need to be replaced if you\u2019re switching heating types, like from a furnace to a radiant system, or if you\u2019re changing your energy source, say, from electricity to gas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once any major work on the infrastructure supporting your HVAC system is done\u2014ducts, registers, gas piping\u2014it\u2019s just a matter of swapping out the units. Your technicians will first need to get the areas where they\u2019ll be moving around nice and clear. They\u2019ll disconnect and remove the old system, put the new one in place and connect it, and turn it on! That\u2019s all there is to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Heating Installation Time Window<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>How long will this take, from start to finish? Well, we always urge customers to make sure they have the entire day free. In certain cases, it can be an eight-hour job. But with a little preparation on your part, you can increase your chances of a quick installation. It can take as little as four hours in an ideal situation!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Preparing Your Home<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing to consider is the approach to the house. Where will the installation techs need to park? Which doorway will make it easiest to maneuver equipment, not just from the truck to the door, but through the house to the location of the furnace? Move everything you can to make a wide, clear path, free of bicycles and baseball bats, Lincoln Logs, and laundry baskets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, make sure there\u2019s nothing close to the furnace. You shouldn\u2019t be storing anything within five feet of it, anyway! That can create a dangerous fire hazard. Also, your technicians need to be able to move around easily while they work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, right before your appointment, put your pets in a safe space elsewhere. Everything will go more quickly if nobody is worrying about someone escaping out an open door, or getting underfoot!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you feeling better prepared now?
