Furnace Installations and Replacements
No matter how well you maintain your furnace, it can’t run forever. There will come a time when you will have to replace it. When that time comes, you need to call us.
We recognize heating installations and replacements are considered large purchases. When we visit to quote a new system or replace an old one, we are careful to explain the pros and cons of replacing the unit. Often times the equipment can be serviced to extend its life. If the equipment is no longer capable of running at optimum efficiency, it may be time to replace.
To help you choose the best furnace for your home’s size, we conduct a Manual J load calculation. This involves using a computer program to calculate exactly the size furnace needed for your home.
Some HVAC companies skip this critical step and, if not done correctly, can result in a system that runs too often and wastes energy. It can also lead to a system that does not heat your home properly. Our Burns & McBride professionals are happy to share these results in your installation packet after our free estimate.
We always present you with a free written report detailing our recommendations on a furnace—type of equipment and work we propose to perform. Many companies forego this practice, separating us from them in yet an additional way.
Always ask about rebates before purchasing new equipment. More than 500 of our customer saved thousands of dollars on new equipment through the Energize Delaware rebate program in 2018.
Our job is to be sure you are comfortable at all times in your home. Our heating and cooling professionals go to great lengths to ensure the furnace you purchase is a perfect fit for you.
Financing Options
At Burns & McBride, we offer several levels of financing to help with your furnace purchase investment. We will help you decide which option will work best for your purposes and budget.
Furnace Maintenance
To be certain your furnace heats your home as efficiently as it’s designed to do, you need to stay up to date with its professional maintenance. Without it, your system can’t work as effectively as it should and could end up negatively affecting your energy bills, as well as your indoor air quality (IAQ).
Lack of maintenance can even shorten your furnace’s life span and cause you expensive repairs. The majority of our repair calls are due to maintenance negligence. When you properly maintain your gas or oil furnace, your system can run at its optimum energy efficiency.
Talk to one of our knowledgeable Burns & McBride team members about maintenance on your furnace. If you participate in one of our preventative maintenance plans, in addition to the benefits you will experience from maintenance , our Service Plan Memberships offers other perks.
Oil Furnace? Let Us Handle Your Oil Delivery
With an oil furnace, the oil must be delivered to your home, unlike a gas furnace where the gas is dispensed through a pipe. Let us take care of your heating oil delivery for you. Talk to one of our Burns & McBride team members, and we would be happy to discuss your options for oil delivery—automatic delivery or call-in delivery.
Some homeowners prefer to have their oil delivered before the cold season hits to take advantage of lower oil costs. Others like to wait for their deliveries until they actually need to use their furnaces. Either way, we can set up a schedule that works best for your needs.
