Thinking about installing a new heating system in your home but concerned about high fuel costs? Don’t worry – there has never been a better time to install a furnace in your home! Gas furnaces are more efficient than ever, with many models able to convert 95% of the fuel they use into heat – higher efficiency than almost any type of heater! So whether you want to install a furnace in a new home or you want to replace your outdated heating system with a more energy efficient one, call Wheat & Sons today!
James A. Wheat & Sons is an authorized dealer of Carrier furnaces. That said, we can install furnaces of any make and model! When you call Wheat & Sons for furnace installation, our techs will first size up your home to determine the exact size furnace you’ll need in order to maximize your heating system’s efficiency. Next, we will determine whether your existing ductwork is sized properly to handle the airflow from your new furnace. Once everything is in place, we will begin installing your furnace and helping your home be as comfortable as possible this winter.
Like we said before, furnace installation is one of the most effective and energy efficient ways to keep your house warm all winter long. All gas furnaces on the market today are required to have a minimum AFUE of 78% (78% of fuel burned is converted to heat). That said, it’s not uncommon to find gas furnaces that top 90 – 95% AFUE! This means that no matter how high fuel costs get, you can rest assured that your furnace installation makes sense for your budget and your gas furnace will be able to keep your home warm without emptying your wallet.
In addition, gas furnaces are among the cleanest heating systems available. Instead of a complex network of pipes and flues or a large, obtrusive chimney, gas furnaces only require an 8-inch PVC pipe to exhaust their fumes!
If you’re starting to prepare for the coming winter and want to install a furnace in your Maryland or Washington, DC home, call Wheat & Sons today!
