Furnace Installation Near Racine
Whole-Home Furnace Installation Backed by Experience Since 1978
A new furnace must do more than replace the equipment in your mechanical room. It must fit your home’s heating demands, layout, insulation, ductwork, fuel supply, and comfort goals. We install Lennox heating systems and provide furnace replacement services for Racine homeowners.
Repeated repairs, rising energy use, uneven temperatures, short cycling, unusual sounds, and unreliable starts can signal that it’s time to consider replacement. We begin with an inspection so you can compare repair and replacement based on your system’s condition rather than assuming replacement is the answer.
Schedule a furnace installation assessment with H.J. Faust, Inc.. Call (262) 418-0700 to discuss your heating needs and request an estimate.
Choose the Right Furnace for Your Home
Proper furnace sizing starts with a professional load calculation that estimates how much heating capacity your home requires. We consider square footage, insulation, windows, ceiling height, and layout. An undersized system may struggle to maintain comfort, while an oversized one may cycle frequently and heat rooms unevenly.
Our consultation also accounts for your energy goals and budget. When appropriate, we can compare a high-efficiency furnace with heat pump or dual-fuel heating options. You’ll receive an upfront, detailed estimate, and we can discuss available financing options and manufacturer promotions when applicable.
Efficiency & Heating Performance
Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency, commonly shown as an AFUE rating, measures the percentage of fuel converted into usable heat over a typical year. Efficiency is only one consideration. Blower design, operating stages, sound, thermostat controls, and compatibility with your existing ducts also affect performance.
Connections & Related Equipment
Replacing a furnace can involve more than exchanging cabinets. We evaluate gas supply and venting requirements, electrical connections, duct transitions, controls, and accessories such as humidifiers or air cleaners. A broader upgrade may also involve air conditioning, zoning, heat pumps, or other indoor air quality equipment.
How We Install & Commission Your New Furnace
We plan each installation as a complete heating project and provide a clear timeline before work begins. Projects involving duct modifications, zoning, or indoor air quality equipment may require additional work.
Installation can include removing the old unit, preparing the mechanical area, setting the new furnace, and connecting the ducts, gas supply, venting, and electrical system. We then check airflow, safety controls, thermostat operation, combustion, and venting. Before completing the project, we explain how to operate and maintain the new system.
An Install Base of More Than 20,000 Clients Since 1978
Our technicians are licensed, insured, factory-trained, and NATE-certified. North American Technician Excellence certification reflects nationally recognized knowledge of heating, cooling, ventilation, and refrigeration systems.
Every field and office employee attends at least four training sessions each year to stay current on equipment, technology, and processes. We also maintain BBB accreditation and an Excellent rating based on more than 1,279 Google reviews. Customers frequently cite our promptness, clear communication, and thorough work.
Lennox Installation With Service for Major Brands
We install Lennox systems and service major brands including Carrier, Daikin, Goodman, Honeywell, Trane, and Bryant. That service coverage matters when you’re replacing an older unit from another manufacturer or planning for future maintenance and repairs.
We also handle system upgrades, new construction HVAC, design-build work, and in-house sheet metal fabrication. These capabilities allow us to address duct modifications and connected heating or cooling components as part of one coordinated project.
Furnace Permits & Project Planning in Racine
The City of Racine Building Inspection Department provides a Heating HVAC Permit Application covering furnaces and other heating equipment. Permit and inspection requirements can vary by property, equipment, and project scope. We can review the applicable responsibilities with you during installation planning.
How to Compare Furnace Replacement Proposals
Two proposals may include different equipment and substantially different installation work. Compare the full scope rather than looking only at the initial price.
A detailed furnace proposal should identify:
- Equipment specifications: Heating capacity, efficiency rating, blower type, operating stages, and compatible controls.
- Installation scope: Removal, equipment placement, duct transitions, electrical work, gas connections, and venting changes.
- Connected components: Thermostats, zoning controls, humidifiers, air cleaners, or cooling equipment affected by the project.
- Project responsibilities: Permit coordination, disposal, anticipated schedule, and work excluded from the estimate.
- Startup procedures: Verification of airflow, combustion safety, thermostat operation, and overall performance.
A lower proposal may exclude electrical, gas, venting, controls, testing, or permit responsibilities included in another estimate. Ask how the installer determined the correct size and how the completed system can be tested after startup.
Planned Maintenance & 24/7 Emergency Service
We recommend a heating check-up each fall. Routine service may include filter review, airflow evaluation, electrical inspection, safety testing, and checks of combustion, venting, moving parts, and heat-producing components.
Our Annual Maintenance Agreement includes furnace and air conditioner check-ups, priority scheduling, no overtime charges for after-hours calls, a 30-point inspection, and 10% off parts and labor when repairs are needed. We also provide 24/7 emergency heating and cooling service.
