Edgar did the initial inspection and application. He was very friendly and pleasant. He listened to our concerns and worked with us. Bruno and his team installed our mini splits. They were very efficient and friendly as well. They even worked around our son’s nap schedule. They made sure everything was how we liked it before proceeding to something else and they gave their honest opinions.

How to Know When You Need a New Furnace Installed

Repair or replace? The answer depends on your furnace’s age, condition, and how often you’re calling for service.

Complete system failure usually indicates major component breakdown in the control board, ignition system, or gas valve. While individual parts can sometimes be replaced, multiple simultaneous failures often mean your furnace has reached the end of its useful life.

Industry standards put furnace lifespan at 15-20 years. Units operating beyond that range experience declining efficiency, increased breakdowns, and difficulty finding replacement parts. Proactive replacement avoids emergency situations during peak heating season.

Watch for gradual increases in heating costs while usage patterns remain consistent. Aging equipment loses efficiency as heat exchangers deteriorate, burners clog, and blower motors wear. New furnaces operate 30-40% more efficiently than models from 20 years ago.

Frequent service calls indicate progressive system deterioration. When repair bills pile up annually and your furnace is past 15 years old, continuing to repair becomes financially questionable. Replacement provides reliability and warranty protection.

We Install All Types of Furnaces in Newton

Your home’s fuel infrastructure determines which heating system options work best.

GEM installs and services all major furnace types. We help you evaluate gas, oil, electric, and renewable energy options based on availability, operating costs, and your environmental preferences.

Natural gas furnaces dominate the market due to fuel availability and operating economy. High-efficiency condensing models extract additional heat from exhaust gases, achieving AFUE ratings above 95%. Variable-speed blower motors provide better temperature control and quieter operation than single-speed units.

Oil heating serves Newton homes where natural gas service isn’t available. Today’s oil furnaces incorporate advanced burner technology and electronic controls that improve efficiency significantly over older equipment. We install models from leading manufacturers backed by strong warranty programs.

Electric resistance heating eliminates combustion entirely. These systems require minimal maintenance, operate silently, and install easily in homes without gas service or fuel storage capacity. Higher per-BTU energy costs make electric furnaces best suited for moderate climates or supplemental heating applications.

Solar air heating systems harness renewable energy to reduce fossil fuel consumption. While solar technology requires higher upfront investment, federal tax credits and state rebate programs improve financial viability. Most installations pair solar with conventional backup heat for cloudy periods.

We install furnaces in upflow, downflow, and horizontal configurations depending on your ductwork arrangement and available installation space. Our technicians evaluate your home’s layout and recommend the optimal orientation.

  • Horizontal Furnaces: For smaller spaces, horizontal furnaces are installed on their side, perfect for attics, crawl spaces, or tight basements.
  • Downflow Furnaces: Suitable for attics or other high placements, downflow models pull in air from above, distributing it downwards.
  • Horizontal Furnaces: For smaller spaces, horizontal furnaces are installed on their side, perfect for attics, crawl spaces, or tight basements.

Furnace Installation FAQs

Do I need a new furnace?

Age, efficiency, and repair frequency determine replacement timing. Furnaces older than 15 years requiring major repairs generally merit replacement consideration. We provide objective assessments based on equipment condition rather than sales targets.

How long do furnaces usually last?

Expect 15-20 years from properly maintained equipment. Annual tune-ups extend lifespan by keeping systems clean and addressing minor issues before they escalate into major failures.

How long does it take to install a furnace in Newton?

Most Newton installations take 4-8 hours. Older estates in villages like Waban, Chestnut Hill, or Newton Centre often require additional time because we’re working with multi-story layouts, original ductwork from the early 1900s, and historic architecture that needs careful attention during installation work.

Is now the right time to install a new furnace?

September through November offers optimal timing because demand remains moderate and you avoid winter emergency surcharges. However, GEM handles year-round installations and responds quickly when your current system fails unexpectedly.

What should I look for in a new furnace?

Newton’s mix of large Victorians, Colonials, and Tudor Revivals means proper BTU sizing is critical. Look for AFUE efficiency ratings above 90%, strong warranty terms, and features like variable-speed blowers that work well in multi-story homes. We help you match equipment to your specific village and home layout.
