Choosing the Right Furnace for Your Home
Buying a new furnace is a major decision that requires the utmost care of several factors in order to find the right one. With so many options available on the market, it can be an overwhelming process. However, understanding some key factors involved can help you make an informed decision. Here are a few items our team will help you consider for your furnace installation in St. Peters:
Fuel Type
While the type of fuel your new furnace will use is often determined by what you are currently using, it doesn’t have to be the same. For example, if you are currently using a gas furnace but want to make the move to a fully electric unit, that is possible.
Gas furnaces are generally more efficient than other types but can cost more upfront. Given the rise of energy costs over the world, which fuel type is more efficient may change. If saving money each month on your energy bills is important, consider the price of different energy types in the area.
Furnace Size
Having the proper size of furnace is important when it comes to the cost of the furnace itself and how much you can expect to pay in energy costs each month. A furnace that is too small will struggle to heat your home to your desired temperature, meaning it will cost you most to operate. Having a furnace that is too large will cost an issue with frequent cycling, causing it to work more than it needs to.
When it comes to furnace installation in St. Peters, our licensed and certified technicians will do what is known as a load calculation to ensure you are getting the proper size. This load calculation considers your home’s size, insulation time, type and number of windows and doors, and ceiling heights to determine how much heating space you have.
Energy Efficiency
Furnaces are rated by what is called their Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE). Essentially, this measures how efficiently they convert energy into heat. A furnace with a higher AFUE rating is a more efficient furnace, meaning you can expect lower monthly energy costs. For peak performance and energy efficiency, you want to look for a furnace with an AFUE of 90% or higher.
Keep in mind that the higher the AFUE, the more it will cost upfront. Yet, when you consider the savings over 15-20 heating seasons, it will pay for itself in no time.

The Furnace Installation Process
Finding the right HVAC company and buying the right furnace is a major step. And, though the process for your part is complete, our technicians still have to complete the installation. Since we are dealing with many components both in your home’s current infrastructure and your new furnace, the installation process can be complex, especially looking on as it’s completed. Our trained technicians will work to make this process as straightforward and easy as possible. Here’s what you can expect to see during furnace installation in St. Peters by Classic Aire Care:
Preparation
After the purchase of your new furnace, start the installation process by preparing the location where your new furnace will be installed. This process includes:
- Removing the old furnace: We will safely remove the old furnace from your home and dispose of your old one. We follow all local regulations when installing and disposing of the old furnace.
- Clearing any debris and obstructions from the installation area: This step also includes ensuring the new furnace will fit in the designated area. Though this is also considered when we recommend which furnace to buy, we make sure the area is of sufficient size before bringing the furnace inside.
Checking Current Components
Before we can perform the furnace installation in St. Peters, our technician will need to inspect your home’s current heating system. This includes checking your existing ductwork, electrical components, and gas lines if applicable. We want to ensure these components are compatible with your new furnace and will make any necessary updates or replacements.
Installing the New Furnace
When it comes to installing the new furnace, we want to do so with the utmost care for your home and surrounding areas. We will carefully place the new furnace in its designated area. Once it’s safely in, we will connect all needed components, including the ductwork and gas lines as needed. We also take the time to check your thermostat and upgrade it if necessary.
Testing and Calibration
Once your new furnace is installed, our technician will turn the system on and perform a series of tests to make sure everything is functioning as it should. This includes checking the airflow throughout your home and making sure your furnace is producing enough heat for your entire home. During this process, we also will calibrate your thermostat to ensure it is communicating with your new furnace. For gas furnaces, we also want to check for gas leaks and ensure the venting system is working properly.
After the furnace installation in St. Peters is complete, we will go over your new unit with you, ensuring you understand the maintenance needs and answer any questions you have.
With the right HVAC company, furnace installation in St. Peters doesn’t have to be complicated.
