Homeowners with a big, old house and an old furnace that can’t keep up with the coldest temperatures look forward to new Heating Installation in Omaha NE. Contractors will let them know if a new furnace won’t solve all their heating problems. Fuel costs will come down with a newer, high-efficiency furnace, and that’s good news. However, chilly rooms and drafty areas may not be substantially improved without additional improvements.
For example, new Heating Installation in Omaha NE may not be able to make a room comfortable if that room is situated far from the furnace and the ductwork is inadequate. Fortunately, an additional duct pipe can usually be installed, along with a second heat register. The technicians may need to do other modifications to the existing ducts to rebalance the heat throughout the house.
Upgrades to the electrical wiring may be necessary before furnace installation if this has never been done. In addition, homeowners must keep in mind that old, drafty window frames work against a heating system, especially when the rooms’ doors are closed and air circulation is reduced. Yet replacing windows is expensive and doesn’t necessarily cut heat costs by enough to pay for those windows in a short time. A combination of new windows and a new furnace, however, will dramatically increase comfort in cold rooms, and that may be worth the dual cost.
Some older homes have an upstairs level with only one heat pipe leading to a register or even an actual hole in the floor. All the interior doors must stay open during the winter, or the rooms will get very cold. This is a more complex problem to resolve and will not benefit from furnace installation. Technicians from a company such as Accurate Heating & Cooling can evaluate the situation and determine where ducts could be added. They might be placed between walls and hidden in closets, for instance. Depending on the original setup and the home’s design and construction, installation of baseboard heaters might be more affordable and convenient in rooms that don’t receive enough heat.
