Question 1

Can I reuse my existing ductwork when replacing a gas furnace?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, yes. Existing ductwork can be reused when replacing a gas furnace, which keeps the project straightforward and cost-effective. We evaluate your current duct system as part of every proposal to make sure it is properly sized for the new equipment. Most residential replacements in the State College area reuse the existing duct system without any modifications.

Question 2

How long does a gas furnace replacement take?

Accepted Answer

A standard gas furnace replacement typically takes one day. We remove the old unit, install the new system, connect it to your existing ductwork and gas line, and have you up and running the same day in most cases. There is minimal disruption to your home.

Question 3

Is a variable speed gas furnace worth the extra cost?

Accepted Answer

Yes, in most cases. Variable speed furnaces run at lower speeds most of the time, which means quieter operation, more even temperatures throughout the home, and significantly lower fuel consumption compared to single-stage systems. The American Standard variable speed furnaces we install operate at 97% AFUE efficiency. Most customers notice an immediate improvement in comfort and see meaningful reductions in their heating bills.
