Furnace Installation Guide

What to Expect When Replacing Your Furnace

Replacing your furnace is a major home investment. Proper installation ensures safe, efficient, and reliable heating for many years.

Types of Furnaces

• Gas Furnaces — Most common in Greater Vancouver for fast, powerful heating
• Electric Furnaces — Good alternative where gas is not available
• High-Efficiency (Condensing) Models — Better AFUE ratings and lower operating costs
• Two-Stage & Variable-Speed — Quieter and more consistent comfort

Important Pre-Installation Considerations

• Home Size & Heating Load — Proper sizing is critical for efficiency
• Ductwork Condition — Existing ducts must be in good shape or sealed/repaired
• Gas Line Capacity — May need upgrading for high-efficiency models
• Ventilation & Exhaust — Proper venting for safety
• Thermostat Compatibility — Smart or programmable options

What Happens During Professional Furnace Installation

1. Removal of Old Furnace — Safe disconnection and disposal
2. Inspection of Ductwork & Electrical — Checking for necessary upgrades
3. New Furnace Placement — Proper leveling and connection
4. Gas & Electrical Connections — Code-compliant and safe
5. Testing & Commissioning — Full system test for safety and performance

Common Installation Mistakes to Avoid

• Incorrect sizing (too big or too small)
• Poor duct sealing leading to energy loss
• Inadequate venting causing safety issues
• Skipping necessary electrical or gas upgrades
