At Multnomah Heating, Inc., we understand how daunting this can seem, and that’s why we’re here to guide you through the furnace installation process every step of the way.

Whether it’s helping you choose the right furnace for your home to meticulously installing it, we’re committed to making the process as smooth and stress-free as possible. From start to finish, this is exactly what to expect when you work with us.

What to Expect When Replacing or Installing a Furnace

Let’s dive deeper into the steps that go into the furnace installation process when you work with Multnomah Heating, Inc..

Choosing the Right Furnace

While matching the system to your home’s square footage is a key consideration, there’s much more to choosing the right furnace than just that. Factors like your home’s insulation, the number and type of windows, ductwork, and floor plan all play a role in choosing the right furnace.

Our experts will take the time to understand your home’s unique needs and answer all your questions. Whether it’s about energy efficiency, specific models, or compatibility with existing systems, our goal is to help you find the best choice for your comfort and budget.

Installation Prep

When installation day arrives, our team will show up at your home at the scheduled appointment time. We’ll start by talking through everything with you so there are no surprises. Then we’ll lay down floor coverings to protect your home and prep the area for a seamless installation.

Every subsequent step is handled with the utmost precision and care, prioritizing safety and cleanliness.

Disconnecting and Removing the Old Furnace

We’ll safely shut off the gas and power before removing your old furnace. It’s common to find a lot of dust and debris lurking underneath, so we take the time to clean the area thoroughly.

If necessary, we’ll also clean or adjust your ductwork to ensure everything is ready for the new unit. These extra steps help ensure your new furnace operates at its best.

Preparing the Components

Your furnace is a finely tuned machine with critical connections like gas lines, wiring, and ductwork. Proper preparation of these components is essential. By meticulously inspecting and prepping each connection, we set the stage for your furnace to operate efficiently and safely. Cutting corners here can lead to long-term issues, but with us, every detail gets the attention it deserves.

Installing the New Furnace

Installing a furnace isn’t just about plugging it in and turning it on. It’s a craft that requires electrical, metalworking, and even woodworking skills. Once we’ve fitted everything precisely, we’ll reconnect and seal the system to ensure maximum efficiency. Only then do we restore the power and gas, making sure everything is ready for the final steps.

Commissioning and Testing Your New Furnace

Before we call the job complete, we thoroughly test your new furnace. This means taking detailed measurements and readings to ensure the system is running efficiently and safely. We’ll check for even heat distribution, optimize airflow, and make sure your home stays consistently warm. This step is often overlooked, but it’s crucial for your comfort and peace of mind.

Cleaning Up

Once the work is done, we leave your space as clean as we found it—if not cleaner! Our team will remove all packaging, leftover materials, and debris so you can start enjoying your new furnace without lifting a finger.

Enjoy Your New Furnace!

Your new furnace is ready to keep you cozy for years to come. To get the most out of it, remember to schedule regular maintenance and change your filters twice a year. A well-installed furnace combined with good maintenance practices will ensure reliable performance and a long lifespan.
