Furnaces

Furnaces are popular with homeowners because they are reliable, durable, last for years, and only require maintenance once a year. They have scalable capacity to match the needs of any home, and there are even compact models when space is at a premium.

If you need a furnace installed or need an old one replaced or repaired, call AccuTemp. Our licensed heating technicians can work on any make or model. Contact AccuTemp for expert furnace services in Baton Rouge, New Orleans, Metairie, Marrero, and Kenner. Our services include repair, replacement, installation, and maintenance for homes in Louisiana.

The first step to choosing a new furnace is to determine what your heat load is. If you buy a furnace that is too small, it will not have the capacity to heat your entire home. A furnace that is too large, however, will cycle on and off too quickly, leading to extraneous wear and tear on the equipment and causing early failures.

Our expert technicians will calculate the heat load of your home. We take into account windows, doors, square footage, ceiling height, number of floors, insulation levels, and more.

Type of Furnace: Gas vs. Electric Furnaces

The next step of a furnace installation for Baton Rouge homeowners is determining if you want a gas or electric unit. Gas furnaces are the most energy-efficient. However, not all homes have access to natural gas lines, and if they do, they may not have gas pipes installed.

If your local gas company says they service your area, call AccuTemp for a quote on installing natural gas pipelines. We can make pipelines for your new natural gas furnace, gas ovens, and gas dryers.

Gas furnaces can have an AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) rating of up to 98 percent, which means they can convert almost all the energy they use directly into heat. These higher-rated furnaces utilize the recapturing of exhaust fumes and recycling that energy. These energy-efficient furnaces often require upgrading your flue liner, air handler, and other components of your home’s ventilation system.

For homeowners without access to gas, electric furnaces are also very effective. Another option is a heat pump, which also does not require gas lines to operate.
