Because of the rise of social media platforms and video sharing sites, homeowners can now do a lot of things without having to hire professionals. There are tutorial videos giving instructions on how to paint your room, repair your lighting, install piping lines, etc.
However, your furnace is not a do-it-yourself project. If you’re not a qualified technician, you may end up damaging your brand-new furnace instead of making it work.
Marsh Heating and Air Conditioning is your trusted heating company in Brooklyn Center MN that offers professional furnace installation services.
The Importance of Proper Furnace Installation
Your furnace is easily one of the most expensive pieces of equipment in your home. That is why making sure it is properly installed should be your top priority. When it is properly installed, you will reap the benefits and features of your heating system; but failure to install it the right way will cause troubles and can even pose dangers to your home.
You probably have watched tutorial videos on YouTube and things looked as if anyone can do them. But installing your furnace isn’t just a matter of removing the old one and putting the new one into place. It involves product knowledge and a particular set of skills. For instance, installing a new furnace may require doing some ductwork, to ensure every duct is connected properly. If you are not trained to do sheet metal work, you could install everything the wrong way, or worse, you could even hurt yourself or others.
Also, installing a new furnace will require the use of certain tools that are most likely not in your toolboxes, such as grinding systems, cutting tools, and power tools. Some of these instruments and machines are too expensive to acquire for regular homeowners.
Features of the Lennox EL180E Gas Furnace
The EL180E has an efficiency rating of up to 80 percent AFUE, which can save you hundreds of dollars in heating costs per year, compared to older, low-efficiency furnaces.
When compared to a standard single-speed motor, the Power Saver motor delivers significant energy savings, without sacrificing comfort. Its constant torque motor adjusts airspeed based on demand, helping the furnace use less energy in heating and cooling modes. The EL180E is 33 percent more efficient than standard motors. When working with an air conditioner or a heat pump as part of a complete Lennox home comfort system, it can increase overall cooling efficiency by one or more SEER points. That translates to more savings on energy after the last snowfall.
Its Power Saver™ motor operates at constant torque to help maintain consistent airflow. This technology not only provides energy boost capabilities improving the overall system efficiency, similar to a variable speed furnace but also delivers higher SEER ratings in cooling mode. In continuous fan mode, this technology helps keep energy waste to a minimum.
The consistent flow of air helps keep temperatures inside your home comfortable, even as the weather outside is changing. And because it’s continually rotating, the Power Saver motor delivers quiet heating performance, removing the noisy startup sounds associated with single-stage motors.
Every component of the EL180E has proven itself through extensive testing in our research labs. So you can take comfort knowing the furnace will deliver reliable performance, season after season.
To minimize heat loss and maximize comfort and efficiency, Lennox created an insulated blower compartment for this model.
For your peace of mind, the EL180E comes with a 20-year limited warranty on the heat exchanger and a 10-year limited warranty on all remaining covered components.
The EL180E has a Duralok Plus heat exchanger that is constructed from patented ArmorTuf steel that captures waste heat, and a stainless steel secondary heat exchanger that allows the unit to achieve industry-leading efficiency levels. This solid component exceeds industry requirements and extends the furnace’s life.
The EL180E includes special sound-absorbing materials that further reduce sound for even quieter operation.
To further lessen heat loss, Lennox designed the EL180E with an elegantly-styled, durable steel cabinet with high-quality paint finish.
Its top vent with rotatable inducer simplifies horizontal installations.
Its Surelight Igniter’s nitride design provides long product life and reliable operation.
The EL180E’s Surelight Integrated Furnace Control manages furnace operation and provides direct readout diagnostics for quick troubleshooting. That means your technician won’t take that much time to find out what’s wrong with the system.
