Estimates
All heating installers will give you an estimate on the job, and most will provide this service free of charge. Make sure you ask before you schedule someone to come for an estimate, as you should not be paying for this service.
Conversions
If you have an oil furnace and need to switch to a gas furnace, a company skilled in heating installation may be able to help. Ask them if they have oil to gas conversion service. Making this switch can save you substantial amounts of money on your utility bills, but you need a company who is skilled in the conversion process to make the switch feasible.
Inspections
Since you are not likely an expert on HVAC system, you have no way to ensure that the job is done right. Choose a company that includes post-installing inspections in their service. These inspections ensure that your system is running efficiently and safely. This is not something you should leave up to the untrained eye.
Energy Efficiency
If saving money on your utility bills while helping to protect the environment is important to you, choose a company that installs Energy Star rated furnace systems. Most companies will handle these units, but make sure you specify that you want the energy efficient model. While it may cost more at the outset, you will be saving up to 30 percent on your energy costs for heat by making the switch to an energy efficient model for your heating installation.
