Why You Want to Choose Your Furnace Installer in Franklin and Surrounding Areas Carefully

Installing a new furnace in Franklin is a sizable expense. Once you choose the equipment you expect to serve you for the next 15 years (or more depending on how it's maintained). You're going to be picky about the brand and model you install. Don't undermine the value of your investment by not being equally careful in choosing a reputable installer. The quality of an installation is key to the performance of you furnace. And, in many cases, more important!

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. Most companies won't install a second-hand or owner purchased unit.

How to Choose a Good Furnace Installation Contractor

Now that you know the importance of proper furnace installation, you may wonder what the hallmarks are of a good heating company There are several things to consider when evaluating your options in Greenwood and Franklin. You may like the company you used in the past for heat pump, boiler, or furnace repair. Start by seeing how they measure up. Visit a prospective contractor's website, and you will likely find most of this information. If not, call and ask.

To solidify your decision, ask the following questions:

  • Is the contractor licensed and insured? Both matter. Licensing is ultimately for safety reasons. It's also required in most states, including Indiana. Insurance protects you, the consumer, in the event damage or injury occurs in the course of your furnace installation.
  • What is their reputation?Ask around—your family, friends, and co-workers may have recommendations. A Franklin HVAC company's reviews are another place to gauge the public's overall satisfaction with a contractor.
  • How long have they been in business?Staying in business normally involves doing good work and satisfactorily resolving problems. Newer contractors can also be solid, just without the years as evidence. We've been replacing and installing furnaces for over 57 years.
  • Do they offer warranties on their work? To help secure trust, contractors often shift the risk of something going wrong off the customer and onto themselves with a warranty or guarantee. We invite you to read up on how we ensure your satisfaction.

Preparing for Franklin Furnace Installation with Johnson

We often have customers ask what to expect on the day their new furnace is to be installed. Being prepared for our arrival both indoors and out can help make for a smooth and easy furnace installation. Failing to take the right steps can cause delays in the process.

For your part, please do the following when our office calls to let you know we're on our way:

  • Move vehicles so that our truck can back up the driveway or get to the entry nearest the furnace.
  • Consider the path through which the old furnace will go out and the new one will come in. Temporarily remove anything that could possibly be bumped or damaged. This includes pictures on the wall.
  • Close off your dogs, cats, or any other free-roaming pets so they are not underfoot and our team can remain focused on the task at hand.

Upon arriving, our team will introduce themselves and then proceed to do a final review of the installation plan and recheck measurements. We'll also lay down floor protectors to keep everything tidy. If you have one, they'll disconnect your old furnace. It will go back on the truck and be scrapped and recycled. Once the new furnace is in place and ductwork, fuel, exhaust, and power connected, the system will be tested. Any needed adjustments will be made. Our Franklin heating expert will walk you through system operation and answer any questions. They will then clean up and leave your home as they found it.

At Johnson we understand this won't be a normal day for you. We work hard to minimize disruption and provide a pleasant furnace installation experience. If you have concerns or special needs, don't hesitate to contact our office at (317) 714-0936.
