Ensure Proper Furnace Installation with Licensed Professionals
Hire the right professionals in Wichita, KS, for heating system installation to ensure your new furnace is installed correctly. Poor installation can lead to several problems, and some of them can be dangerous. Gas leaks, faulty ductwork, and electrical wiring problems are a few of the issues associated with poor installation. If you're thinking of getting a gas furnace, your local codes may only allow a licensed technician to install it.
While there are so many things you can do to save on your heating, one of them shouldn't be hiring amateurs to install your new furnace. It's imperative to start right — contact ECK Services and our team of certified technicians will carefully remove and install your new furnace. With our expertise and experience, we guarantee 100 percent satisfaction.
When to Repair vs. Replace Your Old Furnace
One of the most important questions you may encounter as a homeowner is whether or not it's time to stop repairing a furnace but instead get a new one. If your furnace is more than 15 years old, consider calling us for an inspection to help you decide if you should keep it or if it's time to let go of your old furnace.
It's also not recommended to keep an inefficient furnace as that would only result in higher utility bills. While window caulking and improving insulation may help, it's still best to get a furnace replacement to minimize energy consumption.
Signs It May Be Time for a Furnace Replacement
Other signs you need to watch out for include:
- Sudden temperature changes
- Loud noises
- Leaks
- Furnace keeps acting up
In Wichita, winter temperatures can drop to negative 12 degrees. You need to prepare for the colder weather by making sure your furnace is efficient and fully functioning. For professional installation of your new furnace, please don't hesitate to contact ECK Services.

Frequently Asked Questions
Almost always, yes. ASHRAE puts median gas or oil furnace life at about 18 years; by 30, most systems are running 60–70% AFUE compared with modern 90–98% AFUE, and replacement parts from that era are often discontinued. Upgrading to a high-efficiency condensing furnace (ENERGY STAR) typically reduces heating fuel use by 20–40%, paying back a meaningful share of the install cost over 8–12 years — separate from the lower breakdown risk and safer carbon-monoxide profile of a new, properly vented unit.
A like-for-like furnace replacement typically takes one day (6–10 hours). A combined furnace plus AC or heat pump changeout usually runs 1–2 days. A boiler swap including near-boiler re-piping takes 2–3 days. Projects involving ductwork modifications, new line sets, electrical service upgrades, or first-time heat pump installs in homes without ducts can run 3–5 days. A site walk and confirmation of permit requirements should precede every quote.
By running an ACCA Manual J load calculation — the ANSI-recognized standard for residential HVAC sizing and a code requirement in most jurisdictions. Manual J factors in square footage, insulation, window area and orientation, air infiltration, duct losses, and local design temperature. 'Rule-of-thumb' sizing (often 1 ton per 400–600 sq ft) commonly oversizes equipment by 30–50%, leading to short-cycling, poor humidity control, uneven temperatures, and shorter equipment life. Anyone quoting size without measuring deserves a second opinion.
Not typically, but it should be inspected and tested on every install. The DOE estimates the average home loses 20–30% of conditioned air through duct leaks — installing a new high-efficiency furnace on leaky, undersized ducts throws away much of the efficiency paid for. A reputable installer checks duct sizing against the Manual J load, seals accessible joints with mastic, and recommends duct work only where the numbers justify it.
