Benefits of Installing a New Heating System

Improved Energy Efficiency: Modern heating systems are generally more energy-efficient than older models. Actual operating costs depend on the selected equipment, installation quality, property conditions, usage, and maintenance.
Enhanced Comfort: New equipment can provide more even heating and quieter operation than an older system. Available features such as variable-speed operation and programmable controls can also help maintain a more consistent indoor temperature.
Reduced Environmental Impact: Higher-efficiency equipment may use less energy and produce fewer emissions. Environmental performance varies by system type, fuel source, operating conditions, and energy use.
Enhanced Reliability & Performance: Replacing aging equipment can reduce the need for frequent repairs.
Updated Safety Features: New heating equipment may include updated controls related to combustion, overheating, and system operation. The applicable features depend on the equipment type and model.
Property-Specific System Fit: System selection should account for the property’s size, layout, insulation levels, fuel source, and existing ductwork. Correct equipment selection and installation are important to system efficiency and performance.

When to Consider Heater Replacement in Salem

When you’re facing costly heater repairs or insufficient heating for your home or business, it may be time to consider replacing or upgrading your current system. New heating technology can improve performance and energy efficiency. At Lorens Heating and Air, we can evaluate your current equipment and explain the available replacement options.

The decision between repair and replacement should account for the equipment’s condition, repair history, remaining service life, operating performance, safety concerns, and the cost and availability of replacement parts. An evaluation can help determine whether the current problem is repairable or whether replacement is the more practical next step.

Heating System Options & Replacement Reasons

Reasons to consider a new heating system:

You’re experiencing inadequate heating for your home
Your current heating system has more than 10 years of use
You’re facing costly or frequent repairs
You want to improve energy efficiency

An upgraded furnace can offer increased comfort and lower energy use when the equipment is properly selected and installed for the property. Actual utility costs and repair needs depend on the system, building conditions, usage, and maintenance history.

Maintenance After Installation

Our team installs new heating units and offers regular tune-up services. Manufacturer warranty coverage depends on the equipment terms and any applicable registration or maintenance requirements. System life and performance also vary according to the equipment, installation, operating conditions, and service history.

Regular maintenance can support the lifespan and performance of your system. With our comprehensive tune-up services, small issues can be caught and addressed before they become major problems. Routine service also helps keep the equipment operating efficiently throughout the heating season.

Our Heater Installation Process

We begin by assessing your heating needs and the specifications of your home or commercial property. Depending on the project, this may include reviewing the existing equipment, ductwork, ventilation, fuel source, electrical capacity, and installation conditions before we recommend a system.

We offer flexible scheduling and free estimates. After installation, our team tests the new equipment, confirms that it’s operating correctly, and answers your questions about its operation and energy efficiency. Project duration varies with the equipment type, site conditions, ductwork changes, permitting, and installation complexity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Should I Consider When Choosing a New Heating System?
Consider the equipment type, property size and layout, fuel source, installation conditions, upfront cost, and expected operating needs. For furnaces, the Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency rating measures how efficiently the unit converts fuel into heat. Available features may include variable-speed operation and programmable controls. The appropriate choice depends on your property and heating priorities.

How Long Does the Furnace Installation Process Take?

A straightforward furnace installation may take approximately 4 to 8 hours, but that range doesn’t apply to every project. Equipment type, site access, ductwork modifications, permitting, and other installation conditions can affect the schedule. We can provide a project-specific timeframe after evaluating the property and proposed installation.

Are There Incentives Available for Installing Energy-Efficient Heating Systems?

Rebates, tax credits, or other incentives may be available for qualifying energy-efficient heating equipment. Eligibility can change and depends on the system, property, customer, installation date, and current program rules. Verify the latest requirements with the applicable federal, Oregon, utility, or Energy Trust of Oregon program before selecting equipment based on a potential incentive.

FAQ

Common Answers To Your Questions

How is furnace efficiency measured?

Furnace energy efficiency is calculated with the AFUE, or the Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency rating. The AFUE is a rating that compares how much heat a furnace will produce relative to the amount of energy necessary to produce the heat. If a furnace is rated at 85 percent AFUE, it means 15 percent of the energy used is lost and 85 percent actually becomes heat for your home or business.
What are the different types of air conditioner refrigerant?

If you have an air conditioning system that requires the old type of refrigerant, R-22, your system is still usable but only reclaimed or recycled R-22 can be used to service your air conditioner. R410-A is now the required standard for newer systems and has less environmental impact relative to the older refrigerant. Eventually, you will need to replace your air conditioner with one that uses R410-A, or have it modified so that it can use R410-A. The type of refrigerant your AC uses is only one of many reasons to consider upgrading, and if your existing unit is outdated, now might be a good time to look into having it replaced to boost energy efficiency, lessen environmental impact, and make sure you are operating a safe system. Not only will an upgraded cooling system make it easier to have your unit serviced, but it’ll also save you money on your annual cooling costs. Loren's Heating & Air in Salem, OR, offers the highest quality air conditioner replacement services.
Why are air conditioner efficiency ratings important?

In 2006, the Federal Government made it mandatory for all central air conditioning systems to have a minimum SEER of 13. SEER, or Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio, is a measure of the cooling system’s performance. On the highest end of performance, cooling units are rated as high 23 SEER. As with anything, the better performance, the higher the cost. For a system with moderate to good efficiency, you should look for a model with a SEER rating of between 14 and 18. The EER, or the Energy Efficiency Rating, provides an indication of the cooling capacity of the system that you’ve had installed. The higher the EER number, the better the system’s cooling capacity.
