Furnace Service and Installation
Furnace Service and Installation
A furnace is a great way to warm your home in a green and cost effective manner. Furnaces come in a wide variety of types and styles to best suit your personal needs. Benjamin Franklin has years of experience in heating and air and would be happy to install your new furnace or help replace or repair an existing furnace. At Benjamin Franklin, we are a full service heating and air company so you can count on us for all your furnace repairs and service.
When it comes to heating your home, there are a couple different types of furnaces you may choose from to fit your specific needs.
- An electric furnace uses an electric current to heat up the air before releasing it into your home. Typically, an electric furnace is the most common in US homes.
- A natural gas furnace utilizes the natural gas from a city line to provide a clean burning, readily available fuel source. Because natural gas is a relatively inexpensive fuel, a natural gas furnace is extremely cost effective.
- A hot water furnace which is also known as a boiler is a unique type of furnace that heats water providing either steam or hot water which is in turn distributed throughout the home through radiators.
- When installing a furnace, there are a few additional options you may consider to further the comfortable feeling in your home.
- Humidity controls can fine tune the air quality in your home reducing or increasing the water in the air.
- A programmable thermostat regulates temperature by splitting the day up into different parts, each with their own temperature. For example, Energy Star™ suggests settings for wake, day, evening, and sleep.
Many of the furnace units we offer at Benjamin Franklin qualify for the Energy Star™ tax credit. This credit is good for 30% of the cost of the unit plus installation up to $1,500!
