Installing a heating system in you house is not an easy task, it requires that you have the right knowledge and skills to finish the job, and finish it right. But if you are like most Fairfax homeowners, heating systems falls within the realms of rocket science. It is not something you can figure out yourself just by looking at the manual.

Not only is installing a heating unit a complicated project, it is also a very dangerous one. You need to have the right set of tools and equipment in order to install a heating system, get it operational, and keep yourself safe at the same time. And if you do the job wrong the first time, it can be hard to fix even for a professional contractor. Fairfax homeowners are warned not to try heating repairs or installations themselves, it is much better to have a professional HVAC contractor do the work for you. There are generally three important steps in furnace installation that only a qualified technician that has the right knowledge, skills, and equipment can do:

1. Turning off the main power source – Fairfax Furnace heaters are not simple appliances that you just have to plug in a wall socket, they are directly wired to the main electrical system of your home. You need to know how to turn off the main power source of the house and which wires to cut so that you won’t run the risk of burning down your house because of a shorted out circuit.

2. Removal and replacement of the heating unit – Removing the old heating unit will require some cutting and grinding down of some metal pieces, a professional HVAC contractor has all the necessary tools needed to finish this task, and these are tools that you will find in an ordinary person’s toolbox. Replacing the old heating unit with a new one also needs to be done correctly; the wiring needs to be done properly so that the unit will run perfectly.

3. Ductwork modifications – The old furnace is not the only that needs replacing, if the ducts that lets the heat circulate around the house is in bad shape it will require replacement or repairs as well. Duct repair, in order to be done right, you need to do plenty of sheet-metal work. And an amateur who works with sheet-metal can be considered lucky if he only gets rather deep gashes on their hands because of the razor-sharp edges that needs to get handled.

These are just some of the many reasons why you should leave Fairfax furnace installation to an experienced HVAC contractor. They are trained to do the work properly and without wasting time and materials. By hiring Fairfax professionals to do the work you will actually save more money and have more peace of mind.
