However, with temperatures hovering around freezing during the coldest days of the year, you need a dependable heating system.

Energy-Efficient Furnace Installations
Are you thinking about installing a new furnace system? You may be overwhelmed by the choices, from choosing between a gas- or oil-burning furnace to evaluating the different furnace sizes to pick one that works for your home. Fortunately, Galactic Air, Inc. makes your selection process a lot easier as our professionals walk you through step by step.
Step One: Type of Furnace
If you’re looking at energy efficiency, you’re going to be looking at gas or oil over electricity. Gas furnaces mostly burn natural gas or propane, while oil furnaces burn heating oil. We recommend a gas furnace for most property owners here because of the availability, as most people already have a gas line hookup for a straightforward furnace connection.
Why have we left out electric furnaces in this equation? It’s simple – electric furnaces are expensive to run. If you’d prefer electricity-powered heating, you’re better off choosing a heat pump instead – especially if you’re also considering installing an air conditioner.
Step Two: Size of Furnace
With the fuel source sorted, the next step is to discuss the right furnace size (measured in BTUs), and this is where it gets technical. We always recommend waiting for a professional to evaluate your space before you settle on a unit.
Don’t go with the largest unit you can find or the cheapest one that’s too small. If you’re ready to discuss your furnace installation with an experienced crew, call our local Trane Authorized Dealer! A unit that perfectly fits the space will be efficient in terms of utility bills and keeping you warm.
Gas Furnace Replacement and Upgrades
Did your furnace struggle through last winter? Instead of keeping your fingers crossed that the unit will get through a heating season, why not get a heating system upgrade? Replacement systems are a good idea in the case of:
- Old age: Furnaces tend to last 15 to 20 years. A replacement after that will restore more efficient heating.
- Inefficiency: Switch to a new unit if getting your furnace system to heat your home feels like a struggle.
- Costly repairs: Do you have a cracked heat exchanger or a damaged blower motor? Replace the entire unit.
According to the Department of Energy, a new high-efficiency furnace could save you up to 30% (due to less fuel). Count on our crew to evaluate your unit and recommend the perfect replacement from the list of furnaces on the market. That way, you can go into every winter knowing that you have a robust heating system capable of providing consistent heating all season long.
Flexible Financing for Furnace Replacements
We understand that investing in a new furnace is a major financial commitment. That’s why Galactic Air offers flexible financing options. With our financing options, you can spread out payments into the future while enjoying a high-quality, energy-efficient furnace right now.
