Installing Goodman Janitrol Furnace
Youve taken care of the most difficult part deciding what furnace is right for your home. There are many different styles and sizes which means there is a match for every home. The age of your home, the size, and existing ducting all play a role in determining what type of furnace youd pick.
Energy efficiency is measured by the AFUE which stands for annual fuel utilization efficiency. The higher the number the more efficient the furnace is. Well assume you took this into consideration when looking at new furnaces because the Janitrol you chose has an excellent rating.
Youll need to set up a delivery time for your furnace and then its time to get busy. Lets start with the basic thermostat you currently have. You should replace it with one of the new programmable thermostats that will help reduce energy costs.
The programmable thermostats are great because you can set them up so that when you are at work they drop the temperature in the house by 10% which will save you 10% in operating cost. You can then program it to turn up the heat about a half our before you get home. You can even turn the heat down in certain rooms. Lots of flexibility here!
If you are replacing an existing furnace now is the time to get the old furnace out. Shut the power and fuel source off to the furnace. Disconnect and remove the old furnace.
Ensure the floor or slab that the new furnace will go on is level and in good form for the new furnace. Put into place and then hook up all your duct work. Add any additional ducts that you might need.
When it is all hooked turn on your power source and fuel source. Ignite the furnace and now its time to take it through a trial run. Thats all there is to installing Goodman Janitrol furnace.
