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 Franklin 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.
