Furnace and heat pump installation in Mt. Juliet

Gas furnace, heat pump or dual fuel for a Mt. Juliet home

Here is how the options usually compare in our climate:

• Heat pump. A modern heat pump heats efficiently through most of a Middle Tennessee winter and also cools the house, so one system does both jobs. It is a strong choice for many homes, particularly where natural gas is not available.
• Gas furnace. Strong, steady heat that stays strong on the coldest nights. Furnaces are rated by AFUE, and high-efficiency condensing models convert 90 percent or more of the fuel to heat. Natural gas availability varies from street to street in and around Mt. Juliet.
• Dual fuel. A heat pump for mild weather with a furnace that takes over when temperatures fall far enough that gas is the better value. More equipment, more flexibility.

What we look at before recommending anything

We start with the house. Insulation, window area, square footage, ceiling height and the condition and layout of the ducts decide how much heat the house needs and how well it can be delivered. A furnace that is too large cycles on and off and wastes fuel. One that is too small cannot keep up on the coldest days. We size the system for the home instead of copying the old one.

We also look at the fuel situation, what the home needs for cooling (a heat pump replaces the air conditioner as well) and whether the ductwork needs work, since leaky or undersized ducts limit what any new equipment can deliver.

What a complete heating installation includes

Whatever system you choose, the installation covers:

• Reviewing the home, the ducts and the existing equipment
• Setting the furnace, air handler and outdoor unit to manufacturer specifications
• Connecting gas lines, venting, condensate drains and electrical service safely and to code
• Matching indoor and outdoor components and refrigerant lines on heat pump systems
• Installing a compatible thermostat and programming it with you
• Testing combustion, airflow and safety controls, then cleaning up the work area

Timing, permits and cost

Many heating replacements are completed in a single day. Changing fuel type, modifying ductwork or adding zones takes longer, and you will have the schedule before we begin. Permit requirements vary by city and county, and we take care of them. Final cost depends on the system type, efficiency rating, venting and gas work, duct condition and how easy the equipment is to reach. Multiple financing options are available, and you can see them on our financing page.

Replacing in the fall, not in January

If your furnace or heat pump is 15 years old or showing signs of trouble, the best time to replace it is early fall, when schedules are open and the weather is not forcing a rushed decision. Our fall tune-up in Mt. Juliet is also a good time to get a candid read on how much life your system has left.
