Your heating system has reached the point where replacement is the right decision in Los Alamos. Maybe the furnace failed and the repair cost relative to its age makes a new system the better investment in Los Alamos, NM. Maybe it has been 20 years and the last two winters have made clear the system is not keeping up the way it used to in Los Alamos. Maybe you are switching from electric resistance heat to a heat pump or gas furnace and want the installation done correctly from the start in Los Alamos, NM. Whatever the specific situation, you are making an investment that will determine how your home heats for the next 15 to 20 years in Los Alamos. And the two decisions that matter most are sizing and installation quality in Los Alamos, NM.
For heating systems, installation quality means something beyond performance in Los Alamos. A gas furnace is a combustion appliance. When it is installed incorrectly, the consequences extend beyond reduced efficiency into safety risks that affect every occupant of the home in Los Alamos, NM. An incorrectly connected gas line creates a leak hazard in Los Alamos. A venting system that is incorrectly sized or incorrectly connected allows combustion gases including carbon monoxide to enter the home rather than being exhausted outside in Los Alamos, NM. These are not performance considerations. They are safety considerations that make correct installation by a licensed specialist the only acceptable approach to gas heating system installation in Los Alamos.

A high-efficiency gas furnace installed with an incorrect gas pressure produces incomplete combustion that elevates carbon monoxide in the flue gas and reduces heating efficiency in Los Alamos. The same furnace installed with an incorrectly sized venting system may not maintain the draft needed to exhaust combustion gases reliably, creating a backdraft risk in Los Alamos, NM. And a correctly combusting, correctly vented furnace that is oversized for the home short cycles, reducing both comfort and equipment life in Los Alamos. Every installation variable matters in Los Alamos, NM.

An oversized heating system heats the thermostat location to setpoint before the rest of the home has reached an even temperature in Los Alamos, NM. The system shuts off having satisfied the thermostat but leaving uneven temperatures throughout the home in Los Alamos. The short cycles that oversizing produces are hard on every major component because startup is the most mechanically and thermally stressful moment in the operating cycle in Los Alamos, NM. Compressors and heat exchangers accumulate wear faster from frequent short cycling than from longer, less frequent operating cycles in Los Alamos.
An undersized heating system runs continuously in cold weather without reaching the thermostat setpoint in Los Alamos. The home stays consistently cooler than the thermostat calls for during the coldest weather in Los Alamos, NM. The heating shortfall is most severe precisely when heating is most needed, during the coldest stretches of winter in Los Alamos.
Air America performs a heating load calculation for every heating system installation in Los Alamos. The calculation accounts for the home's heat loss under the local design heating temperature including transmission losses through walls, ceilings, floors, and windows, infiltration losses from air leakage, and any internal heat gains that offset the heating load in Los Alamos, NM. The calculated heat loss is the correct system capacity for the specific home in Los Alamos.
Gas furnace installation involves connections to the gas supply, configuration of the combustion system, and installation of the venting system that exhausts combustion gases outside the home in Los Alamos, NM. Gas line connections that are not correctly made create leak hazards in Los Alamos. Venting systems that are not correctly sized and connected allow combustion gases to back-draft into the home rather than being exhausted outside in Los Alamos, NM. Licensed installation specialists are required for these reasons, not as a regulatory formality in Los Alamos.
Carbon monoxide is the combustion byproduct most dangerous to occupants of a home with a gas heating system in Los Alamos. A correctly installed gas furnace with a correctly sized and connected venting system exhausts all combustion gases to the outside in Los Alamos, NM. An incorrectly installed venting system allows combustion gases to enter the home rather than being exhausted in Los Alamos. Air America verifies the complete venting system installation and measures carbon monoxide in the circulated air before every gas heating system is commissioned in Los Alamos, NM.

Replacing a 15-year-old 80 AFUE furnace with a 96 AFUE high-efficiency condensing furnace reduces gas consumption for heating by approximately 20 percent for the same heating output in Los Alamos. Over a 15-year service life, those savings accumulate to a significant total that contributes to the payback on the higher equipment cost of the high-efficiency system in Los Alamos, NM.

AFUE is the Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency rating for gas heating systems, expressing the percentage of fuel energy converted to useful heating output in Los Alamos, NM. An 80 AFUE furnace converts 80 percent of the gas it burns to useful heat and exhausts the remaining 20 percent in the flue gas in Los Alamos. A 96 AFUE furnace converts 96 percent and exhausts only 4 percent in Los Alamos, NM. For a home spending $1,500 per year on gas heating, upgrading from 80 AFUE to 96 AFUE reduces heating fuel cost by approximately 17 percent in Los Alamos.
