Upgrading your furnace is a great way to improve the reliability, safety, and efficiency of your heating system. However, if you attempt this without the proper training and knowledge, you could wind up without any heat at all. You’d have to call in a professional HVAC technician after all to finish the job and pay extra for them to fix your mistakes. Skip the hassle by calling our technicians in the first place. Here are some of the most important reasons why we believe that our technicians are best suited for your new furnace installation.
Knowledge and Experience
Our professional crew of HVAC technicians has an extensive knowledge base when it comes to furnaces. We know all the ins and outs of your heating system, making us experts in installing and replacing your furnace. As a homeowner, you may not be able to figure out the best placement for your new furnace, the proper method for connecting electrical wiring and gas hookups, or how to attach the ductwork securely. This lack of knowledge could create hazards in your home. With our training and background, we make sure your new furnace is installed properly with all utilities and ducts carefully hooked up so that you have reliable, safe, and efficient heating when the job is done.
Occasionally, problems arise during installation. Our technicians know how to troubleshoot them to continue with proper installation. Without this advanced knowledge, you could ruin the new furnace, damage your home, or create costly messes that a professional would have to come and fix after all.
Safety
Safety is a crucial component of furnace installation. Our technicians understand how important safety is when handling electrical and gas hookups and take proper care to work with them with precision to prevent shorts, shocks, and fires. If you connect your new furnace incorrectly, you could create the risk of electrical fires or explosions that might damage your home and endanger you, your family, and your guests.
Special Tools and Equipment
Some furnace installation jobs require special tools, equipment and supplies to complete. If you don’t have all these pieces, you could be at a standstill until you make the trip to the hardware store or specialty tool store to get them. After the next step, you might find that you need spare parts that didn’t come with the new furnace. This would necessitate another trip to the store. You could waste hours of your day fetching everything you need to install the new furnace. Then, once you had completed the project, you might find that you no longer have a use for the tools you bought, and they’d just sit around collecting dust.
At Coffman & Company, our service vehicles are fully stocked with all the equipment and materials needed to install your new furnace in Arvada, CO. This means that we can complete the job in a single visit, getting you on the path to home comfort much more quickly and without any added costs.
Insured for Your Protection
Our HVAC company is licensed and insured for your protection while we install your new furnace. In the unlikely event that your new furnace malfunctions during or after its installation due to a mistake on our part, our insurance will cover the costs of damage. These costs may include repairs or replacement of the new furnace, damage to your home and belongings, or an injury to yourself and others in your home if the malfunction is catastrophic. Without the insurance carried by a professional heating and cooling company, you might have to pay such costs yourself.
Warranty Coverage
Most new furnace systems carry a limited warranty on factory defects and certain parts of the system for a specified period of time after purchase. This warranty helps offset repair costs if your furnace breaks down early in its life, saving you money. However, many manufacturer’s warranties carry a special clause requiring professional installation of the furnace by a licensed HVAC contractor. If you choose to install the new furnace yourself, you could void the warranty. If this happened, you’d have to pay for all repairs out of your own pocket. TThis could cost you hundreds or thousands of dollars down the road in parts, materials, and labor costs or even, in extreme cases, the cost of replacing the furnace.
Homeowner’s Insurance Requirements
Your homeowner’s insurance policy may cover damage caused by a malfunction in your furnace. This could include electrical hazards such as shorts and fires. It may also cover gas explosions and medical issues caused by gas leaks, shock, or electrocution. However, if you have skipped hiring a professional and installed the furnace yourself, the insurance company could attempt to deny your claim due to negligence and lack of professional knowledge. This is especially true if an investigation reveals that the cause of the damages or injuries was improper installation of the appliance. Electrical fires, explosions, and medical bills could cost you thousands of dollars and drain your bank account quickly without insurance coverage.
Code and Regulation Compliance
Many local jurisdictions have special codes and regulations regarding the installation and connection of new heating systems. If you aren’t well-versed in furnace installation, you probably don’t know all these rules and may not understand what they all mean. Our technicians are always up to date on local codes regarding HVAC installation, so we make sure your new furnace is installed in compliance with all regulations. Failing to meet code requirements could leave you with civil penalties, a faulty furnace, and a need for a professional HVAC technician after all.
Reliable and Proper Function
Your new furnace requires proper placement and utility hookups to give you reliable, sufficient, safe, and efficient operation. Missing a single step can cause your furnace to fail. Improperly connecting wiring could result in shocks, electrocution, shorts, or fires. Placing your furnace on an uneven or improper surface could cause unreliable functioning. Without extreme care and precision, you could have insufficient or no heat from the new furnace and have to call in a professional to fix it, which would cost you more in the long run.
