Frequent Furnace Issues vs. New Installation

Deciding whether you need furnace replacement before winter or wait a few more years before considering professional furnace system upgrades can be difficult. What might seem like an easy fix could signal a deeper problem. There are a few tell-tale signs that it might be time to retire your old unit:

• Constant uneven heating due to the old furnace
• Reliability issues, especially if your furnace keeps breaking down (needs replacement)
• Your furnace is more than 15-20 years old and struggles to keep up
• Frequent and expensive repairs where costs exceed those of a new furnace
• Consistent loud noises (such as banging)
• Strange smells (like rotten eggs or burning)
• Wanting lower energy bills with a new furnace

Replacing your furnace isn’t always linked to age or persistent issues. Some Virginia homeowners simply want the benefits of installing a furnace for a home addition or improving airflow with a new furnace. Schedule an installation appointment to determine the best furnace options for your home.

Our Step-By-Step Furnace Installation Process for New Systems

Gas, electric, and oil furnace installation services require significant differences in methods, especially when it comes to venting, fuel delivery, and electrical needs. Here is how we approach each furnace upgrade and what to expect:

1. Our professionals will discuss you and your home’s heating needs. We’ll determine whether replacing your old unit is necessary and recommend an energy-efficient furnace that fits your space and layout.
2. After the initial assessment, our certified techs will prepare the installation site. This includes clearing and protecting floors and ensuring the space meets installation requirements.
3. We will then disconnect power, gas, and venting for safe removal of the old unit.
4. The new furnace will be placed in the designated spot
5. Depending on your furnace type, the gas line, electrical, and venting will be connected securely and safely. The furnace will also be connected to the existing duct system.
6. Our certified techs will program your thermostat, check for safety controls, and run the furnace through a full heat cycle to test performance and air flow.
7. A final inspection and assessment of your heating system will take place to ensure there are no leaks and that your unit is operating safely and efficiently.

Choosing the Right Furnace Size & Type for Richmond Homeowners

One of the most common questions that Chesterfield and Central Virginia homeowners ask is, “What are the best furnace options for my home?” Without the help of new furnace system installation experts, it can be difficult to determine whether a gas, oil, or electric furnace is right for your home, let alone the size of the unit. Rest assured, Bradley Mechanical follows strict protocols developed by the ACCA to ensure that your furnace is properly sized, positioned, and compatible with your home’s needs.

1. To determine the proper furnace size and capacity for your home, our professionals use Manual J Load Calculation, which assesses your home’s heat loss factors (square footage, insulation, windows, layout, etc).
2. We will then assess your ductwork’s condition and identify any airflow restrictions.
3. Based on your fuel preferences, local fuel costs, home size, existing infrastructure, and desired budget, our installation experts can make a strong recommendation for the furnace type that would be the best fit for your home. For example, it may be more cost effective and fuel efficient when converting from an oil to a gas furnace.
