The cold winter weather is approaching Colorado: it’s time to have your new furnace installed so you can have a pleasant season instead of an uncomfortable one. Although furnaces have existed for centuries, the current models offer technological advances that make them durable, effective, and efficient. But how do you go about finding a new furnace?
Shopping in the crowded HVAC marketplace can bewilder many homeowners, and installing a new furnace is an especially important decision: most likely you will have your furnace working for you longer than any car you buy. We can help you through the process of finding the furnace that will give you the comfort you need this winter.

First, hire professionals
The best place to start looking for a new furnace is with a professional installation company. An experienced HVAC company will offer a variety of furnaces brands, models, and types that will match any home. When you have professionals involved from the start, you will find the process much easier because you’ll have an expert opinion whenever you need it.
Next, consider your energy source
Furnaces can run from a variety of fuels. Currently, natural gas and electricity are the most common, but some can run from oil or propane. Think of the fuel supply available in your house and if it’s the best option to power your new furnace. If you already have a natural gas line to your home, then a gas furnace will probably be your best bet. Electric furnaces will work almost everywhere, and are usually an option.
Now, have your furnace properly sized
Furnaces don’t come in a “one size fits all” model: they must match your home’s heating requirements. Simply picking the largest furnace you can afford will end up costing you much more than its selling price: it will perform inefficiently, drain power, and run down faster. Since you already have professionals assisting you, let them determine your home’s heating needs through a heat load calculation. They can help you find the ideal-sized furnace.
Finally, sit back and let the installers do the work
You’ve found the perfect furnace. Relax now, because the installers will take care of the hard work. In no time at all, they’ll have your new heater hooked up to its fuel source and linked to the home’s ductwork. The professionals will make sure everything is working effectively and safely before they leave you to your new comfort.
