4 Signs You Need Furnace Replacement

1

Super Dry Heat

Gas furnaces are particularly prone to pumping out very dry heat as they get older. This effect on indoor air quality can take a toll on your health, particularly your skin. If you notice an uptick in dry or irritated skin or dying plants, give our Watertown furnace replacement specialists a call.

2

Utility Bills Through the Roof

As furnaces get older and older they’ll become less efficient over time. You won’t always notice this inefficiency in your indoor air temperature, but you will when you go to pay the monthly utility bill.

3

One Repair After Another

If you feel like you’re repairing your furnace for the umpteenth time, then at least consult our Watertown furnace installation experts about the cost of getting a new unit. At some point throwing more money at repairing a dying unit isn’t the cost-effective solution it may seem.

4

Old Age

Exactly how long a furnace may last depends on several factors such as brand, types, usage, maintenance, and environment. Typically furnaces last from 15-30 years, so if it’s older than that, consider furnace replacement before another repair.

If you’re in need of our Watertown furnace replacement services, contact us today by calling (617) 894-7803

How Does a Furnace Work?

A furnace heats your home by warming air and distributing it through ducts. The cycle relies on fuel combustion or electric currents, working behind the scenes to keep your rooms consistently comfortable.

The Heating Cycle

Stage 1: Generation

Igniting Fuel To begin with, gas or propane ignites within the combustion chamber to quickly generate clean internal heat.

Electric Method In contrast, electric units utilize highly conductive internal components that warm up as electrical currents pass through them.

Stage 2: Delivery

Blower Trigger Once the air inside reaches the target temperature, the system consequently signals the blower motor to spin.

Distribution Ultimately, the blower forces the newly warmed air directly into your home's ductwork to distribute comfort to every room.

System Advantages

Longer Lifespan With routine professional maintenance, a classic furnace offers an incredibly reliable lifespan compared to other heating options.

Parts Availability Furthermore, because furnaces are widely utilized, sourcing replacement components for future repairs is fast, straightforward, and highly cost-effective.

All-Climate Power Additionally, since furnaces rely entirely on internal heating sources, they run at peak efficiency even during sub-zero New England winter weather.

System Drawbacks

Electric Utility Costs However, opting for an all-electric furnace setup can occasionally lead to higher monthly electrical bills than gas alternatives.

Combustion Risks On the other hand, natural gas or fuel-based equipment carries a slight hazard of fire or combustion leaks if left unmaintained.

Routine Upkeep Therefore, to virtually eliminate safety risks and keep operating efficiently, these systems demand consistent checkups from a professional.

FAQs About Furnace Installation

What are the signs that I need a new furnace installation?

If your furnace is making strange noises, not heating your home evenly, or you notice a significant increase in your energy bills, it might be time for a new furnace installation. Other signs include frequent repairs and an age of 15 years or more.

How long does it typically take to install a new furnace?

The installation of a new furnace usually takes about 4 to 8 hours, depending on the complexity of the system and any necessary modifications to your existing ductwork or ventilation.

Is it worth investing in a high-efficiency furnace?

Yes, a high-efficiency furnace can significantly lower your energy bills and reduce your carbon footprint over time. The initial investment may be higher, but the long-term savings and benefits to the environment are often worth it.

What should I expect during the furnace installation process?

During the installation, a technician will assess your home, remove the old furnace, and install the new unit. They will also ensure all connections are secure and perform safety checks, followed by testing the system to ensure it's functioning properly.

How can I prepare my home for a furnace installation appointment?

To prepare for your furnace installation, clear the area around your existing furnace and any access points. Make sure there is a clear path for the technicians to move equipment in and out, and discuss any specific concerns you have with them beforehand.

When is the best time to schedule a furnace installation?

The best time to schedule a furnace installation is in the late spring or early fall when demand is typically lower. This can help you avoid long wait times and potentially save money on installation costs.

We were happy with the plumbing work done by George A, replacing several shutoff valves, including the house main. He was helpful in explaining how we should coordinate with the water department. - - - - Less than a week later, we had a second great experience with Akian. We were very pleased with the bathroom plumbing work done by Chase D. and Jaelin M. They made every effort to first repair the old dripping shower/tub fixture, but found that was not possible and explained why. They were quickly able to pivot to a replacement, clearly explaining what options were available and how it would be accomplished by cutting a hole in the closet wall behind the tub. They took care to cut a neat hole and cleaned up the resulting dust. We also had the old bathroom sink faucet replaced. They encountered difficulties due to the age of these fixtures, but Chase and Jaelin were able to handle them with ease, replacing additional pipes when needed. They were happy to answer all of our questions as they worked. Thank you. 9/10/26 Thank you for your hard work replacing 2 water heaters today!

I called to ask for a general price range for replacing a P-trap. They told me they would not provide any pricing information unless they first sent a master plumber out for a $120 service call. I even asked what the *lowest* possible cost for a basic P-trap replacement would be, just so I could have some idea of what to expect, and they still refused to answer. That made me uncomfortable. I understand that an exact quote may require seeing the job in person, but refusing to provide even a starting price or rough range felt unnecessarily vague. I didn't feel comfortable paying $120 upfront without having any idea what I might ultimately be charged, so I decided not to move forward with them.

Sean and Andrew were great. I came home from work one day to discover water damage to my bathroom ceiling. Sean came out quickly to assess the situation. He was able to get someone out to remediate right away. Once the cleanup was complete, Andrew came out to do some further investigate and was able to successfully identify the water source in my very old condo building in Brighton. Both were very friendly and professional. Highly recommended!

So wanted to give an update to a 2 star review i left for Akian for work done about a month ago. I had two gripes: Call center customer service and dispatch and high pricing. I have to give their management credit: They saw my review, reached out and yesterday service manage Jeff called me. It's rare these days for someone to really listen to how things looked on my side of the road and to Jeff's credit he did that. Not only that we reached and agreement regarding what i felt was high pricing two two of the three components they replaced on my AC system. In addition he mentioned that they are moving away from the foreign call center customer service--this is a good thing. Who wants to feel if they get disconnected they can't call the person back? All this reassured me that despite some issues they are getting themselves on track and that they cared enough to make things right for me.

Carlos came today to troubleshoot my central AC. which stopped working yesterday. He was very upfront saying that he was unfamiliar with my particular set up. However, with assistance from his office, he was able to diagnose and fix the issue. It was not a simple 1-2-3 due to the poor initial installation from another company 9 years ago. He was diligent looking for solutions and was able to get the AC working. Part of the issue was the thermostat, which he replaced. I will make Akian my go-to company for my system. thank you Carlos. It is only a 4 because I was hoping for same day services yesterday.

Do not call if you actually have an emergency. Called them around 5pm this afternoon, told them my toilet was leaking all over the floor and that I was on the ground floor of a multi-floor condominium building. They opened a ticket and said someone would be out between 6pm and midnight. Called around 6:30 to see if there was an update, because even with the water turned off I had about 2 inches of water leaking out onto the floor. She said the plumber was finishing up a call then heading to me. I called an hour later and she said "oh, we don't service multi-floor buildings you will have to call someone else but they NEVER called to tell me. Wasted two hours waiting for a plumber that was never coming, causing damage to the bathroom floor and the carpeting in the hallway.

My first time using Akian for my HVAC maintenance. James G. was friendly, knowledgeable, good at explaining and informative. Much appreciated. I also appreciate that the company sent out a reminder text for the appointment with a picture of the service person. Consider me a new customer of Akian who will be requesting James G. every time! Thank you.

We had an AC system that was not running, so we scheduled an appointment with Akian. Matt showed up on schedule, diagnosed the problem, and completed the necessary work quickly and at a reasonable price. We have used Akian in the past and continue to be very happy with their service. We will call them again for plumbing and HVAC issues in the future.

Sean C. and his assistant Berkeley came by on schedule and assessed the rusting flange on my toilet. Gave me a couple of options and what he recommended. Toilet installed and working well. The key items for the five star rating was their professional mannerism and attention to cleanliness (wearing shoe covers, wiping up spilt water, taking all trash with them, and most of all, they are pleasant people.). Thanks Akian Plumbing.
