Why You Want to Choose Your Furnace Installer in Douglas County Carefully

Installing a new furnace in Valley is a sizable expense. Once you choose the equipment you expect to serve you for the next 15 years (or more depending on how it's maintained). You're going to be picky about the brand and model you install. Don't undermine the value of your investment by not being equally careful in choosing a reputable installer. The quality of an installation is key to the performance of you furnace. And, in many cases, more important!

It's possible to get a furnace that's a lemon, of course, but it's far more likely to get a lemon of an installation. If it's determined that a defect or faulty part with your furnace is to blame, then your manufacturer warranty may protect you. But, if the problem is due to problems with how the unit is installed, years may go by before the effects escalate and it wreaks havoc on your system. You may cough up cash for several Valley furnace repairs and not realize they are due to how your furnace was installed. Normally, it's not until a homeowner calls in a different HVAC contractor that the underlying cause is identified and corrected.

Installation problems and related issues can be avoided with some up-front diligence when it comes to choosing a contractor. Note that, whether a new furnace installation or furnace replacement, the company that sells the heating equipment is usually also the company that installs it. Most companies won't install a second-hand or owner purchased unit.

What to Look for When Choosing an HVAC Contractor for Valley Furnace Installation

There are several indicators to look for when deciding who you will entrust with your furnace installation. Visiting a contractor's website can answer some of these questions, but you might also need to make a call. This upfront work goes a long way to ensuring your total satisfaction.

Things you will want to look for or ask about when evaluating a Valley or Elkhorn furnace installer:

• Licensing: This is a basic qualification in most states for good reason. Heating systems involve electricity, gas, and combustion. Things that don't always play well together For safety reasons alone, it's not a good idea to use an unlicensed installer.
• Insurance: If during installation someone gets hurt on your property or something is damaged, who is responsible? Finding out it's you because your Valley HVAC contractor isn't properly covered is sure to make a bad day worse. Luckily, Advanced Heating and Air Conditioning carries comprehensive insurance.
• Experience: Experience in the field is invaluable, and what separates the rookies from the pros. A breadth of knowledge about different systems, scenarios, and solutions helps deliver consistently solid results. We have over 51 years of furnace installation exprience.
• Referrals: It seems old school. But asking family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers who they've used, for how long, and why they like the company is still an excellent way to help narrow down the field.
• Reviews: This is similar to referrals but involving consumers who are likely strangers. Online reviews can give you a good idea of the general public's experience with a HVAC contractor, particularly if they have a lot of reviews.
• Guarantees: Many companies offer guarantees on their workmanship that protect their customers after Valley furnace installation. The length of time and conditions of these warranties vary from contractor to contractor.

At Advanced Heating and Air Conditioning, we welcome such scrutiny. We know furnace installation is a big decision and investment, so we try to do all we can to earn and keep our customer's trust. We want you to feel confident and secure when choosing us as your heating contractor in Douglas County. If you have questions about how we do business, contact us at (402) 359-2213.

Preparing for Valley Furnace Installation with Advanced Heating and Air Conditioning

We often have customers ask what to expect on the day their new furnace is to be installed. Being prepared for our arrival both indoors and out can help make for a smooth and easy furnace installation. Failing to take the right steps can cause delays in the process.

For your part, please do the following when our office calls to let you know we're on our way:

• Move vehicles so that our truck can back up the driveway or get to the entry nearest the furnace.
• Consider the path through which the old furnace will go out and the new one will come in. Temporarily remove anything that could possibly be bumped or damaged. This includes pictures on the wall.
• Close off your dogs, cats, or any other free-roaming pets so they are not underfoot and our team can remain focused on the task at hand.

Upon arriving, our team will introduce themselves and then proceed to do a final review of the installation plan and recheck measurements. We'll also lay down floor protectors to keep everything tidy. If you have one, they'll disconnect your old furnace. It will go back on the truck and be scrapped and recycled. Once the new furnace is in place and ductwork, fuel, exhaust, and power connected, the system will be tested. Any needed adjustments will be made. Our Valley heating expert will walk you through system operation and answer any questions. They will then clean up and leave your home as they found it.

At Advanced Heating and Air Conditioning we understand this won't be a normal day for you. We work hard to minimize disruption and provide a pleasant furnace installation experience. If you have concerns or special needs, don't hesitate to contact our office at (402) 359-2213.

Get the Most from Your New Furnace Installation

With your new furnace installed, there's comfort knowing you're good to go for at least a decade before you'll need to replace it. If you have a newborn, that means it could serve you through their graduation from high school! But, that will only happen with proper furnace maintenance. It's no different than a car. If you expect yours to last you make sure it gets regular oil changes, filter changes, tune-ups, and inspection. It's a fact of life that mechanical things develop problems, lose efficiency, and eventually break down without proper care.

To help stay on track with caring for your furnace, Advanced Heating and Air Conditioning has a program that reminds you of your annual furnace tune-ups. Between visits, the best thing you can do to help your furnace is to check and change your furnace filter. As homeowners ourselves, we know how easy it is to put off or completely forget about that step. You might want to consider installing a high-efficiency filter to stretch the intervals between these swaps. We are happy to partner with you to keep your home's most expensive appliance working efficiently. Interested in learning more about preventive maintenance? Call us at (402) 359-2213.
