Why a Good Furnace Installation in Chicago Matters

A furnace is not a plug-n-play appliance like a refrigerator. It is far more complex, not just the mechanisms inside the furnace itself, but also all of the attached components that interact as part of the larger distribution system. When it comes to furnace installation in Cook County, a thorough understanding of the physics at play is required to get a system to perform to its full potential. Having installed furnaces in the Chicago area for 17 years, Safe Heating & Cooling is your local and seasoned HVAC expert.

Beyond performance, there's the issue of safety when it comes to furnace installation. That's not surprising with a heat-generating appliance, particularly when the combustion of natural gas is involved. Inexperienced handling has the potential to be explosive. If an inexperienced installer puts in a heater that is too big for the space it will heat, its heat exchanger could crack and leak carbon monoxide into a home. This is why its always best to work with a licensed and insured HVAC contractor like Safe Heating & Cooling. From quotation through installation to yearly furnace inspections, we'll keep things running well.

Finally, a furnace that was not properly installed can result in premature wear, tear, and breakdown. While any part can wear out in the course of a furnace's life, frequent repairs in early life often point to poor system or duct design. Years can go by before issues with how a furnace was installed are identified as the cause of problems. Meanwhile, performance suffers and system life is negatively affected. This means more money wasted.

These are all reasons why Chicago-area homeowners should never try and do their own furnace installation. Working with an professional HVAC contractor like us will give you peace of mind knowing the job was done right.

What to Look for When Choosing an HVAC Contractor for Chicago Furnace Installation

There are several indicators to look for when deciding who you will entrust with your furnace installation. Visiting a contractor's website can answer some of these questions, but you might also need to make a call. This upfront work goes a long way to ensuring your total satisfaction.

Things you will want to look for or ask about when evaluating a Chicago or Hyde Park furnace installer:

• Licensing: This is a basic qualification in most states for good reason. Heating systems involve electricity, gas, and combustion. Things that don't always play well together For safety reasons alone, it's not a good idea to use an unlicensed installer.
• Insurance: If during installation someone gets hurt on your property or something is damaged, who is responsible? Finding out it's you because your Chicago HVAC contractor isn't properly covered is sure to make a bad day worse. Luckily, Safe Heating & Cooling, Inc. carries comprehensive insurance.
• Experience: Experience in the field is invaluable, and what separates the rookies from the pros. A breadth of knowledge about different systems, scenarios, and solutions helps deliver consistently solid results. We have over 17 years of furnace installation exprience.
• Referrals: It seems old school. But asking family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers who they've used, for how long, and why they like the company is still an excellent way to help narrow down the field.
• Reviews: This is similar to referrals but involving consumers who are likely strangers. Online reviews can give you a good idea of the general public's experience with a HVAC contractor, particularly if they have a lot of reviews.
• Guarantees: Many companies offer guarantees on their workmanship that protect their customers after Chicago furnace installation. The length of time and conditions of these warranties vary from contractor to contractor.
