Nobody looks forward to the day that they have to replace their furnace. Unfortunately, it’s part of life, and San Antonio homeownership, and so is budgeting for a new furnace. So when that dreaded day comes, where do you start?
The cost of a new furnace will adjust depending on several factors, such as the lifestyle and behaviors of residents in the home. Health issues may also require air filtration systems, which also factors into which furnace is best for you. Even hobbies can factor into which furnace is right for your family. Does anyone collect art or is someone a wine connoisseur? Humidity levels can affect the integrity of these products so you may have to include a whole-home humidifier in your HVAC system.
The next thing to consider is the home itself. How many windows are there and which direction do they face? What level of insulation do you current have and how efficient is it at trapping air indoors? How efficient the ductwork is, the preferred power (gas, solar, etc.), and even home design can go into deciding which furnace is best for you.
Aramendia Plumbing, Heating and Air will set-up a complimentary consultation where they will go out to your home and assess your current set-up. They will discuss your options with you and provide you a free estimate on a new furnace installation based on your home’s construction and unique features.
Another factor that will affect the price of your furnace is which business you choose to perform the installation. One contractor may have the system you want at a lower cost, but proceed with caution and verify that they are licensed, bonded, and insured just in case something should take place while they’re on your property. You can actually be held liable if a contractor were to get injured on your property if they are not insured.
All of these factors go into influencing how much a new HVAC system will cost, but let’s get down to the nitty gritty. We’ve provided a few estimates on what you can expect to pay depending on the type of home you live in.
