WeldWhen it comes to heating in Greeley, you need a system you can rely on through freezing temperatures, snowstorms, and everything a Colorado winter throws your way. At Affordable Home Services, we know replacing your furnace in the middle of winter might not be your first choice—but sometimes it’s necessary. The good news? With the right team, the process is smooth, efficient, and far less stressful than you might expect. Here’s exactly what you can expect during a winter furnace installation.
How Long Does a Furnace Installation Take?
In most cases, a standard furnace installation takes 4 to 8 hours. If we’re replacing an existing unit with a similar model, the process is typically completed in one day. However, if modifications to ductwork, venting, gas lines, or electrical connections are needed, it may take a bit longer.
During winter, timing matters. That’s why our team carefully plans every step—from removing your old system to testing the new one—to minimize downtime and keep your home comfortable. Before we leave, we always:
- Test airflow and thermostat communication
- Inspect safety controls and gas connections
- Ensure proper ventilation
- Walk you through system operation and maintenance
You’ll never be left wondering how your new system works.
What Does a Furnace Installation Cost?
The cost of a new furnace installation can vary based on several factors:
- Furnace size and efficiency rating
- Type of system (single-stage, two-stage, or variable-speed)
- Modifications required for proper fit
- Home size and ductwork condition
We always provide clear, upfront pricing before any work begins. No surprises. No hidden fees. Just honest recommendations based on what your home actually needs.
How to Prepare for Your Winter Installation
A little preparation goes a long way in making installation day seamless.
1. Clear the Work Area
Make sure there’s at least three feet of open space around your existing furnace. This allows our technicians to safely remove the old unit and install the new one efficiently.
2. Secure Pets and Plan for Noise
Installation involves tools, testing, and equipment movement. It can be noisy at times. Keeping pets secured and planning around the sound can make the day less stressful for everyone.
3. Expect Brief Heating Downtime
Your heat will be off during installation. We work efficiently to minimize disruption, but you may want to have extra blankets on hand if temperatures are especially low.
What Makes Winter Installations Different?
Winter installations require careful coordination. Cold temperatures mean your home can lose heat quickly once the old system is removed. That’s why we stage equipment ahead of time and work strategically to reduce exposure.
Our technicians are trained to handle cold-weather installs without compromising safety or performance. We treat your home like it’s our own—protecting floors, sealing gaps, and ensuring your new furnace runs at peak efficiency before we consider the job complete.
Peace of Mind When You Need It Most
Replacing a furnace during winter might feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. With the right preparation and an experienced team, the process is straightforward and efficient. At Affordable Home Services, our goal isn’t just to install a furnace—it’s to restore your comfort and confidence in your home’s heating system.
