If you want to get the most value for your new furnace, you should consider taking advantage of related add-ons. Add-ons for your furnace installation will not only improve the your home comfort, they’ll enhance the efficiency and safety of your HVAC system.

  • Chimney Liners — In order for modern furnaces to function safely and at peak efficiency, they need a properly sized flue. Check with an HVAC professional to see if a chimney liner would improve the function of your new furnace.

  • Air Filters — If you are looking to improve your indoor air quality and the efficiency of your furnace, upgrading your air filters is a good idea. Upgrading to pleated air filters or an advanced filtration system is recommended.

  • Programmable Thermostat — One of the most effective ways to minimize energy waste is to install a programmable thermostat. They let you control when your HVAC system runs even when you’re not home. If you want even more control and efficiency improvements you can upgrade to a WiFi thermostat.

  • Zoning System — Install a zoning system, which will allow you to heat different parts of your home at different levels. This saves you from wasting heat in areas that you rarely spend time in.

  • Whole-House Humidifier — Your new furnace may have a big impact on humidity in your home. If the humidity levels are too low, you could be at risk of getting sick and being uncomfortable. A whole-house humidifier can be installed to use your existing plumbing and HVAC system.

It may not be practical or cost-efficient to install all of these add-ons in your home, which is why it’s always a good idea to check with an HVAC consultant to go through your options.
