Think about the scheduling, installation times, and cleanup. It can be disruptive to your day and a bit daunting, but it doesn\u2019t take as long as you think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, how much time do you really have to account for? When does the installation process end? <a href=\"\/heating-and-air-conditioning\/heating\/furnaces\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Furnace installation in Rancho Cordova, CA<\/a> doesn\u2019t have to be a headache, so let\u2019s walk you through the process right now and show you why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2>Pre-Existing Ductwork? That\u2019s Great<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your old ductwork is still in place (and in good condition), it\u2019ll save you a boatload of time. If you need entirely new ductwork, that could be a big difference in the amount of time your installation takes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Installing new ductwork alone can be a one- or two-day project. This depends on how clear the path is to install ductwork, how many rooms you\u2019re adding vents to, and many more variables that aren\u2019t easy to determine at a single glance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Variables in Furnace Installation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Plans are nice, but obstacles will still pop up. Even if you have an idea of how your installation will go, there\u2019s bound to be a diversion or two. These are some variables you should consider when planning out your furnace installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Electrical Connection Problems: <\/strong>Your furnace needs an electrical connection to operate, but sometimes there\u2019s an issue with the wiring in your home. The connection isn\u2019t strong enough, or your old furnace\u2019s energy requirements were much lower than your new model. Either way, this could be a bigger fix than anticipated.<\/li><li><strong>Clutter, Obstructions, and Obstacles: <\/strong>This one is controllable. If the path to the electrical panel, furnace, and any travel paths in your home are blocked, it\u2019ll make the task much harder for your HVAC technicians. Make sure everything is as clear as possible to avoid these problems.<\/li><li><strong>Old, Bad Gas Line: <\/strong>For gas furnaces, the gas line needs to be in good working order before you can install the new unit. The thing is, gas lines can go bad over time. They need to be replaced, which may greatly extend the length of time (and cost) of the project.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>So How Long Does it Take?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In ideal conditions and circumstances, your furnace installation will only take one day. Running into a few problems here and there can extend it to two. New ductwork and serious electrical problems can seriously extend the scope of the project, in some cases to four or five days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Installation Times Vary, But They\u2019re Not Super Long<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on the furnace you have in mind, whether or not you currently have ductwork installed, and a few other variables, installation can be quick. At worst, it can take a few days depending on the level of work involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But either way, you have to get started.
