Furnace Replacement in Connecticut

Choosing a new furnace means choosing efficiency (80% or 95%+ AFUE), blower type, and venting. In Reno and Carson City, high-efficiency furnaces usually pay back. In Las Vegas, where heating use is low, many owners choose a heat pump or dual-fuel system instead.

Furnace Replacement in Connecticut: what's different

Furnace Replacement across Connecticut depends on the climate (IECC climate zones 5). Heating is the main load in cold climates. Furnaces and boilers run for months, so ignition, venting, heat exchanger and carbon monoxide checks before winter are important.

In Connecticut specifically: oil heat costs. Many homeowners compare heat pumps or gas conversions to cut heating oil costs.

Connecticut licenses heating, piping and cooling contractors through the Department of Consumer Protection. Ask any contractor for their license number before work starts, and expect a written price for furnace Replacement.

Eversource and United Illuminating supply electricity. Connecticut Natural Gas, Southern Connecticut Gas and Yankee Gas supply natural gas.
