Installing a new furnace or heat pump is a major investment in your home. When going through such a major installation, it’s a good time to consider adding some supplemental features that will make your home more comfortable in the long run.

Supplemental Equipment Available for Both Heat Pumps and Furnaces

A programmable thermostat allows you to have better control over the temperatures in your home, summer or winter, day or night. When properly set, this type of thermostat can lower your energy bills year round.

Extended media filters give you enhanced air filtration without the need to change filters every month. These air filters usually last a year or more. Our technician will fit the filters into the ductwork during the installation.

Adding a zoning system to your home gives you even more control than a programmable thermostat. You can separate the house into different areas, each with its own thermostat for optimal temperature control. This installation requires adding dampers to ductwork and wiring the zones into a central control panel.

Air cleaners are a step up from any kind of filter. As air moves through the ductwork, the air cleaner uses an electrostatic charge to pull pollutants out of the air. Another option available with an air cleaner is an ultraviolet (UV) light which kills any germs or bacteria in the air going through the cleaner.

Furnaces get some extra equipment options:

A new chimney liner will give your home a layer of extra safety against carbon monoxide exhaust from a gas furnace.

Adding a humidifier to your new furnace allows you to maintain a healthy humidity level, even during the cooler winter months.

The best time to add any optional equipment is when you’re installing your new heat pump or furnace.
