Furnace Installation: The Fire & Ice Experience

Purchasing a new heating system is a big investment and we want to make sure you know everything involved in the installation process. In this video, we'll go over the entire process from the estimate, the installation and the quality inspection at the end.

I think the one thing that people can really know about Fire & Ice is that we believe in a simple philosophy of doing it right the first time or not doing it at all.

As the first impression of the company. When we're out there, we want to really make sure you truly understand all aspects of what you're getting from a professional standpoint. The knowledge, the thoroughness and the attention to detail that we as a company here at Fire & Ice provide each and every customer, every time.

So to me, furnace installation actually has a few different aspects to it. Okay? There's the initial front end where the residential sales professional will come out and do the full system evaluation and make sure that the sizing is correct for the system by completing what's called a load calculation.

On the day of install, our team will come in, remove the existing equipment, make any modifications necessary and then put in and reconnect all of the new equipment.

So, the third stage of install for us as a company is the follow up. Okay? When we are the main point of contact on the front end, we also come back on the back end to make sure that we're happy with the way the equipment was installed. That you're satisfied with the job that we did. And that we're also happy with the overall operation and functionality of the new system. One of the things that we do to make sure that your system is operating perfectly from the start is we do a full start up and commissioning report. There's 57 points on the commissioning form that we go through and make sure that from day one it's operating within manufacturer's specifications.

The average price range for a new furnace installation ranges from about $3000 up to about $7,600. The price range for the installation of a full system, which is the furnace and the air conditioner can range anywhere from $7,400 all the way up to $20,000. The sizing of the equipment and type of equipment is largely affected by the size of the home, the type of the home, albeit single story, two story, split level and the different comfort in which you specifically are looking for as a homeowner.

Here at Fire & Ice, we offer three different brands of equipment. We have train carrier and Mitsubishi Mini Split Systems the types of systems can range depending on the comfort level you're looking for, for your home. There's single stage to stage and then variable speed systems. For more information on the type of equipment that we offer, we have a ton of information on our learning center at indoortemp.com.

The biggest things that we do that add value to the installation process is making sure that the load calculation is done on the front end so that we have the accurate size equipment for your home then on the day of install, we do that full startup and commissioning report making sure that it is operating within manufacturer's specifications from the minute that it's installed.

And then we come back again about a week or two later to make sure that the system was installed properly, is working properly, and that you have overall customer satisfaction in our work.

If you're interested in a furnace installation, go to our products page, and check out some of the efficiency and rating information that we have provided there. If you're already ready to go, you can go to our contact page and schedule and estimate from there. Thanks for watching and we look forward to making your day a little better.

Fire and Ice has been wonderful to work with! Our new Furnace and AC are working like a dream. We had a number of places come out for estimates and Fire and Ice was the only one who actually went around and measured our windows and home and determined we should get a smaller furnace than what was installed before, saving us money both up front and on efficiency down the road. We were also impressed at the quality of the installation itself, as our old setup was clearly done without much care or thought. Fire and Ice took the time to move pipes and such that were just hanging from my ceiling before, move the humidifier to the proper side of the furnace, move over the ductwork that was not put in a good location, raise our electrical box outside away from the ground, and all kinds of little things to make sure our system runs right for a long time. It's been a few months and our setup runs perfectly. You get what you pay for, and I'm glad we paid for Fire and Ice!

When the 30 year old HVAC system in our house went out Fire and Ice was recommended to me. Brad, my sales representative, showed me a comprehensive list of my options, set me up with financing make a brand new system affordable, and professionally communicated throughout the entire process. The installers, Demetrius, Willard, and Tyler, were fantastic! They were very helpful and professional throughout the entire installation process and walked us through the ins and outs of the final product. The AC works like a dream just in time for the hot summer weather and we could not be happier! Fire and Ice is our go-to recommendation for anyone seeking HVAC work.

Our complete HVAC system was replaced a month ago. We experienced a flawless, informative process from sales to installation. Bryan, our sales pro, performed a detailed anaysis of our home's size, construction & features to develop an evaluation of our HVAC needs to offer the optimum sized equipment and has returned several times since the installation to insure it's proper functioning and our understanding of the entire system. The installation was performed within 3 days of our agreement - with the crew (Jon, Daniqua & Colby) getting the old system removed (furnace & A/C) and the new system installed in a matter of hours - they even modified ductwork and rerouted some lines originally installed by our builder to increase efficiency and give the system a cleaner appearance. Another great surprise was their tenacity with the cleanup - all their work areas were left totally spotless!!! Overall the best contractor performance we have experienced in 35 years of home ownership including having 2 homes built by the area's most reputable developers. The system runs great, is quiet and can now be operated through my phone from anywhere - even if just to insure it's running while at my winter haven. Thank You Fire & Ice!

Fire & Ice was great. Our sales rep, Bryan, was excellent. He was knowledgeable, professional, and didn’t pressure us to make a purchase. Due to our experience with him, we were already planning on using Fire & Ice to replace our old AC, but during the heat wave and storms, my once limping-along-AC decided 20 years was enough cooling and decided it’s job was done. My husband had initially set the meeting with Bryan, but was out of town, leaving me to pick up the sale. Bryan didn’t miss a beat when I emailed him asking to get a new AC installed ASAP. Within two days, my install techs, Demetrius P. and Willard J. were here to install. The excellent service continued. Both were amazing and incredibly professional, even dealing with my very vocal dog with grace every time they entered my house. They completed the job in a timely manner and everything was top notch. They were mindful of the fact that I work from home, and kept noise to an absolute minimum. By the time they left, I could feel the cool air flowing once again. They even took the time to swap out my furnace filter! Loved working with them and will recommend Fire & Ice to my friends & neighbors.

The entire process of having a new furnace and air conditioner installed was awesome. Scheduling the estimate was quick and easy and I didn't have to wait on availability. The estimate was very thorough, and Bryan was extremely helpful in explaining everything. Install was just a few days later based on my schedule (they could have installed sooner) and the install technicians (Bryan, Alontae, Von) were awesome. Very professional and courteous, adhering to local health guidelines the entire time. They also had somebody come out and take photos and videos of the install so they could use it in their training. They took the time to ensure everything was installed properly (my old install wasn't). They were also very helpful to show me everything about the system and new thermostat before they left. Bryan followed up with me a week later and stopped in to check on the install. He's awesome and having a tech come out and tweak a couple things (humidifier and thermostat) to ensure everything runs properly!

One of my good friend’s had a great experience with Fire and Ice, so I went ahead and tried them out. Amazing customers service. Brad was awesome with walking me through the process of getting a new furnace and answered all of my questions. I will be a returning customer and recommend Fire and Ice to all. Update on furnace installed: I can not praise this company enough. The technicians Floyd and Jacob were very professional and the craftsmanship was amazing. You can tell when someone takes pride in their work. Thank you for your hard work. It’s greatly appreciated.

Bryan and Nick were true professionals. They gave me a good heads up when they were going to arrive and did a great job installing the new furnace. They made sure to keep my house clean and walked me through what they did and gave me tips on how to get the best use/life out of my furnace. Will definitely recommend to a friend.

The two technicians arrived exactly when they said they would, immediately began to take care of business. They had more trouble than they anticipated getting the old furnace out but still pretty much finished at the time they told me. The system and heating space were left clean and tidy. they took a few extra minutes to troubleshoot my water tank to get it to ignite which was greatly appreciated. Very nice gentleman throughout the experience and gave me a thorough explanation of the paperwork and how to use the thermostat as well. Was a great experience
