What to Expect When You Call Us for a New Furnace

We don’t want investing in a new furnace to feel overwhelming. So, we’ll do all that we can to make the process as stress-free as possible, starting with letting you know exactly what to expect. 

Free, In-Home Assessment

You call us, and then we’ll schedule a free, in-home assessment at a time that’s convenient for you. 

During the visit, one of our heating service pros will evaluate:

• Your home's square footage and layout
• Insulation levels and window types
• Existing ductwork condition and sizing
• Gas line capacity
• Venting requirements
• Thermostat location and zoning needs

We also perform a professional load calculation to determine the proper furnace size for your home. Everything we gather during this initial assessment will be crucial for getting you the ideal furnace. 

Three System Options

Once we've completed our assessment, we'll present three furnace options at different efficiency levels and price points.

• Option 1: Standard Efficiency (80% AFUE) – Reliable, budget-friendly, and proven technology. Ideal for budget-conscious homeowners, mild climates, or rental properties.
• Option 2: High Efficiency (90-95% AFUE) – Lower operating costs, quieter operation, and sealed combustion. Ideal for homeowners wanting comfort and savings.
• Option 3: Premium Efficiency (96-98% AFUE) – Maximum efficiency, variable-speed blower, modulating gas valve, and best warranties. Ideal for homeowners who want the lowest operating costs and premium comfort.

For each option, we'll explain:

• Equipment features and efficiency ratings
• Installation scope
• Warranty coverage
• Estimated operating costs
• Available financing options
• Total project pricing

We'll answer your questions honestly and help you compare your choices without any pressure or sales tactics.

Professional Installation 

Our vetted installation team will handle every aspect of your project. 

This includes:

• Removal and disposal of your old furnace (if necessary)
• Installation of the new system
• Gas and electrical connections
• Venting modifications when needed
• Thermostat installation or upgrades
• Ductwork connections and sealing
• Permit acquisition and inspection coordination

We can finish most furnace installations in a day. High-efficiency furnaces (90%+ AFUE) require PVC venting instead of metal flue pipes. We can handle all venting modifications as part of the installation.

Our crews are all background-checked, drug-screened, and trained. So, you can feel comfortable having them work in and around your home. 

Testing, Commissioning & Customer Walkthrough

Before we leave, we’ll thoroughly test and commission your new furnace to make certain it’s operating safely and efficiently.

We’ll perform:

• Combustion testing
• Gas pressure verification
• Airflow measurements
• Safety control testing
• Thermostat calibration

We'll also walk you through system operation, maintenance recommendations, filter replacement schedules, warranty coverage, and answer any questions.

Finally, we'll clean up our work site, so your home looks just as neat as it did before we arrived.

Is It Time to Replace Your Furnace?

With routine maintenance, many furnaces will stay durable and efficient for 15 to 20 years. Beyond this period, you may be dealing with frequent repair costs and high energy bills. It’s safe to say: if your furnace is nearing the two-decade mark, it’s time to consider a replacement. 

What are other signs that you should update your furnace? Watch for the following:

• A pilot light that’s yellow or flickering
• Uneven or insufficient heating throughout your home
• A cracked heat exchanger
• Frequent breakdowns, especially in peak heating times
• Repairs that cost more than half the price of a new unit

For guidance on the most cost-effective way to support your household’s comfort, turn to JR Putman Plumbing, Heating & Air. We’ll tell it to you straight and won’t upsell anything unnecessary. We employ HVAC experts, not salespeople. With us, you can count on honest, reliable information that will allow you to make a smart investment in furnace repairs or a replacement.

Furnace Installation & Replacement FAQs in Rancho Cordova

Do You Offer Financing for New Furnaces?

We offer multiple financing options, and you can get approved on the spot. Terms vary based on credit and the equipment you choose. There are no penalties for paying off early.

How Long Will It Take to Install a Furnace?

Our crews can complete most residential installations in just one day. If we're converting from a different heating type or must make significant ductwork modifications, it may take two days. We'll confirm the timeline during your in-home assessment. 

What Size of Furnace Do I Need?

This will depend on your home’s square footage, insulation, windows, ceiling height, and other considerations. One of the first things we’ll do is perform a Manual J load calculation to determine the right size of furnace for your home. 

What’s the Difference Between a Furnace with 80% & 95% Efficiency?

An 80% AFUE furnace sends 20% of heat up the flue. A 95% AFUE furnace captures almost all the heat for your home. The efficiency difference can help you save hundreds of dollars annually on gas bills. 

What Brands Do You Install?
