FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions - FAQ
How long does a furnace installation take?
Most furnace installations take 4–8 hours. The timeframe depends on the complexity of the job, whether ductwork modifications are needed, and the accessibility of your existing system. Our technicians will give you a more accurate estimate after assessing your home.
What size furnace do I need for my home?
Furnace sizing is based on a load calculation that accounts for your home's square footage, insulation levels, ceiling height, windows, and local climate. An oversized or undersized furnace causes efficiency problems and uneven comfort. Smith Mechanical performs a thorough assessment to recommend the right size for your specific home.
How much does a furnace installation cost?
Furnace installation costs vary based on the unit's efficiency rating, brand, size, and the complexity of the installation. Smith Mechanical offers free estimates so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins. We also offer financing options to help make the investment more manageable.
What AFUE rating should I look for in a new furnace?
AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) measures how efficiently a furnace converts fuel to heat. Standard models start at 80% AFUE, while high-efficiency units reach up to 96–98%. Higher AFUE means lower energy bills over time. Our technicians can help you weigh the upfront cost against long-term savings to find the best option for your home and budget.
Do I need to replace my ductwork when installing a new furnace?
Not always. Our technicians inspect your existing ductwork during the assessment. If it's in good condition and properly sized, it can typically be reused. If there are significant leaks, improper sizing, or damage, we'll recommend repairs or replacement to ensure your new furnace performs at its best.
