Furnace Replacement Done Right: Our Load Calculation, Proper Sizing, and Fast Installation
It is 6 a. m., the wind chill reads negative 10, and your furnace quits. You are not just uncomfortable. Your pipes could burst fast. When that happens, you need the right system and you need it now.
The Real Problem: Most Furnaces Are Not Sized Correctly
We see it every week. A home has a furnace that is not the best fit and often not sized right. An oversized or undersized unit wastes energy, struggles to keep rooms even, and shortens equipment life. That is why our process at Forquer Heating & Air Conditioning starts with a detailed, no cost assessment that goes far beyond square footage.
Our comfort advisor follows a proven method to ensure your new furnace or air conditioner is sized precisely for your home and lifestyle. This is how we help you stay comfortable, protect your home, and get the most from your investment.
Our Free In-Home Load Calculation
Before we recommend a furnace, we complete a full load calculation on your home. This calculation tells us the exact BTUs your home needs for dependable, even heat.
We look at the specifics of your house, not just a size on a sticker:
- Insulation levels and where insulation is installed
- Construction type and the age of the home
- Window type and condition, such as double pane or single pane
- Quantity and size of windows
- For air conditioning, the direction the home faces and which way the windows face
When we plug these details into the calculation, we get the correct size for your furnace or AC. That means the system will run the way it should, keep you comfortable, and help manage energy costs.
Choosing Your Gas Furnace
Once we know the right size, we help you compare gas furnace options. Every home and family is different, so we talk through:
- Efficiency ratings that fit your goals
- Comfort features and performance benefits
- Budget and total value
There are clear tradeoffs between models, and we make those easy to understand. Our job is to guide you to the system that fits your home and priorities, not to push a one size fits all solution. This approach, championed by Jim Forquer and our team, is how we deliver the best long term results for our customers.
What About Air Conditioning?
If you are adding or replacing air conditioning, we apply the same careful approach. Proper AC sizing also depends on insulation, windows, and the direction your home and windows face. That orientation affects how much sun your home takes on and how hard your AC needs to work. The right size AC helps prevent hot spots, short cycling, and high humidity.
How Fast Can We Replace Your Furnace?
Timing depends on your situation. We tailor everything to you.
- Emergency replacement: If your heat fails in dangerous cold, we can move very fast. We have completed emergency installations in as little as three hours. Quick action helps prevent burst pipes and water damage.
- Planned replacement: If your system is aging but still running, you can take time to review options and schedule at your pace. Many customers choose a timeline of a few days to a couple of weeks.
Either way, our comfort advisor will walk you through the plan, keep you informed, and make the process smooth from start to finish.
Why Proper Sizing Matters
Right sizing your furnace or AC delivers real benefits:
- Consistent, even comfort in every room
- Better energy efficiency and lower utility bills
- Quieter, smoother operation
- Less wear and tear on components
- Longer equipment life and fewer surprises
Skipping the load calculation often leads to comfort issues and higher costs. We will not guess. We measure.
