Frequently Asked Questions About Heating Installation

• How long does heating system installation typically take?

Most standard furnace and heat pump installations are completed in a single day. Mini-split installations may also be completed in one day, depending on the number of indoor units required. More complex installations involving extensive ductwork modifications might require additional time, but we’ll provide a clear timeline before beginning work.

• How do I know which type of heating system is best for my home?

The ideal system depends on several factors including your home’s size, existing infrastructure, energy efficiency goals, and budget. Furnaces provide powerful heating ideal for very cold temperatures, heat pumps offer both heating and cooling efficiency, while mini-splits excel for homes without ductwork or needing zoned comfort. We provide personalized recommendations based on your specific situation.

• Do you handle the removal and disposal of my old heating system?

Yes! We handle complete removal and environmentally responsible disposal of your old system as part of our installation service. This includes proper handling of all components according to environmental regulations.

• How do I know if I need to replace my heater or just repair it?

We generally recommend considering replacement if your system is over 15 years old, requires frequent repairs, has safety concerns, or if repair costs would exceed 50% of replacement cost. Systems showing signs of cracked heat exchangers should be replaced immediately for safety reasons. We provide honest assessments to help you make the most cost-effective decision.

• What warranties come with a new heating installation?

New installations include the manufacturer’s warranty (typically 10 years on parts with registration) plus our 1-year labor warranty covering any installation-related issues. Mini-split systems from Daikin come with 10-12 year manufacturer’s warranty coverage depending on the model selected.

• How much maintenance do new heating systems require?

While we don’t currently offer maintenance plans, modern heating systems should be inspected regularly to ensure safe, efficient operation. Furnaces benefit from annual safety inspections, while heat pumps and mini-splits may need filter cleaning and outdoor unit maintenance to maintain peak performance.

• What payment methods do you accept?

We currently accept cash, checks and credit cards for installation services.

• How long should a new heating system last?

With proper installation and regular maintenance, modern furnaces typically last 15-20 years, while heat pumps generally last 10-15 years. In the Mena and Waldron areas, we’ve seen well-maintained systems last even longer. Our professional installation helps ensure you’ll get the maximum lifespan from your investment.
