Whether you’re building a new home or replacing existing appliances, heating installation is essential to keep your home comfortable and warm during the coldest parts of the year. Because modern heating methods are more advanced than traditional methods, there are usually multiple parts to the heating installation. Here are some of the basics to help you prepare.

An Appliance Plus Ductwork

Your central heating system has two main components: the appliance which generates the heat, and the ducts which move hot air to all the rooms of the home. Your central appliance may be a furnace, or it may be a geothermal system which relies on underground sources of warmth. The type of equipment you’re installing determines the amount of space needed.

The Cost of Heating Installation

If you are installing only a new heating appliance into an existing duct system, your costs are going to be significantly lower than if you need to add new ductwork to your home. Likewise, incorporating ductwork during the initial construction phase is cheaper than adding ducts to a home afterward. If you need new ductwork installed, your expected budget may need to be increased significantly.

How to Prepare

When you’re ready to install a new heating system, choose a provider and consult with them about the size and type of furnace or heat pump which is right for your home. On the day of installation, make sure there is a clear path from your door to the area where the heater will be installed. Keep children and pets away from your contractor’s work area. If you are adding ducts or a heat pump, you can expect the renovations to take multiple days and may find it most convenient to arrange somewhere else to stay.
