Furnace Installation — Des Moines FAQ
Q1. When should I replace instead of repair my furance in Des Moines?
If the furnace is 15+ years, has a cracked heat exchanger, or keeps failing, furnace replacement is usually smarter. Rising gas bills or uneven room temps are also red flags.
Q2. What size furnace do I need for my Des Moines home?
We size using a Manual J heat-load (home size, insulation, windows, air leakage). Right-sizing prevents short cycling and keeps up during deep-freeze weeks.
Q3. What efficiency should I choose?
Expect 80% AFUE (standard) to 95–98% AFUE (high-efficiency). In our winters, high-efficiency often pays back, especially with smart thermostats and basic air sealing.
Q4. How long does a furnace install take?
Most replacements finish same day; new venting/duct changes can take 1–2 days. We commission the system and verify airflow/combustion before we leave.
Q5. Can I keep my current thermostat and ductwork?
Usually yes, if compatible and sized right. We’ll check static pressure and recommend any return/duct tweaks for better comfort.
Q6. What warranties do I get?
Typically manufacturer parts (5–10 yrs) plus installer labor coverage. We register equipment and provide the paperwork.
