Warning Signs

Signs You Need Furnace Installation

Don't ignore these warning signs. Early diagnosis can prevent costly repairs.

Furnace Over 20 Years Old

Furnaces typically last 15-20 years. Older systems are inefficient and prone to breakdowns.

Frequent Repairs

If you're calling for repairs multiple times per year, replacement is more cost-effective.

Uneven Heating

If some rooms are cold while others are warm, your furnace may be failing or improperly sized.

High Heating Bills

Older furnaces with low AFUE ratings cost significantly more to operate than modern high-efficiency units.

Carbon Monoxide Concerns

Cracked heat exchangers in old furnaces can leak carbon monoxide—a serious safety hazard.

Experiencing Any of These Issues?

Don't wait for a complete breakdown. Early diagnosis can save you hundreds in repairs.

Common Questions

Furnace Installation FAQ

Everything Charlotte homeowners need to know about furnace installation

How much does furnace installation cost in Charlotte?

Furnace installation in Charlotte typically costs $2,800-$6,000 including equipment, labor, and permits. Learn more about furnace installation costs in Charlotte. High-efficiency models (95+ AFUE) cost more upfront but save 20-30% on heating bills. Financing from $45/month.

Should I get a gas or electric furnace in Charlotte?

Natural gas is cheaper to operate in Charlotte (60% savings vs electric), but installation costs $500-$1,000 more if you don't have gas lines. Many Charlotte homes use heat pumps (electric) for mild winters. Learn more about gas vs electric furnaces. We'll calculate your 5-year cost for both options.

What size furnace do I need?

Proper sizing is critical. We perform a Manual J load calculation during your free consultation based on your home's square footage, insulation, windows, and layout. Oversized furnaces cycle frequently and waste energy. Undersized units can't heat properly. We size it right.

What's a good AFUE rating for Charlotte?

For Charlotte's mild winters, 80-92% AFUE offers the best value. High-efficiency 95%+ furnaces cost $1,000-$2,000 more but savings are minimal with our limited heating season. We'll help you calculate payback period based on your actual usage.

How long does furnace installation take?

Most furnace installations take 6-10 hours (one day). This includes removing old equipment, installing the new furnace, connecting gas/electric, testing, and cleanup. Installations requiring gas line work or ductwork modifications may take 2 days.

Do you handle gas line work?

Yes! We're licensed for gas line installation and repairs in North Carolina. If your home doesn't have gas service, we can run new lines from your meter (costs vary by distance). This is included in our installation estimate—no surprises.

Do I need a new AC if I replace my furnace?

Not always, but if your AC is 10+ years old, replacing both together saves money vs two separate installations. Plus, matched systems work better together. Learn about AC installation options. We'll give honest recommendations—no pressure.

What brands of furnaces do you install?

We install all major brands: Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, Bryant, and American Standard. As a family-owned company, we recommend based on your needs and budget, not manufacturer kickbacks like investor-backed companies use.

Are there rebates for new furnaces in North Carolina?

Yes! High-efficiency furnaces (92+ AFUE) may qualify for Duke Energy rebates and federal tax credits. We'll identify all available incentives and handle paperwork. Rebates can offset 10-20% of installation costs.

Do you pull permits for furnace installation?

Absolutely! We pull all required permits and handle inspections in Charlotte and Mecklenburg County. This is included in our pricing. Permits ensure safe installation and are required for warranty coverage. Some companies skip permits to save money—dangerous.

How long will my new furnace last?

Properly installed and maintained furnaces last 18-25 years in Charlotte. Our mild winters extend lifespan vs northern climates. Annual maintenance (we offer plans at $240/year) is key to maximizing longevity.

What warranty comes with a new furnace?

We provide a 2-year labor warranty and 10-year equipment warranty on all furnace installations. We register all warranties and provide lifetime service—we'll be here when you need us.

Do you offer financing?

Yes! Flexible financing through Wells Fargo with options from $45/month for qualified buyers. We believe Charlotte families shouldn't postpone needed heating equipment due to upfront costs. Transparent terms, no hidden fees.

What makes your installation better than competitors?

We're family-owned since 2008, not a franchise. Learn why Kodiak is different. Our installers are employees (not subcontractors), background-checked, and paid hourly (not commission). This means proper sizing, quality installation, and honest recommendations.

Do you remove my old furnace?

Yes! Complete removal and disposal of your old furnace is included in installation pricing. We'll also haul away any old ductwork or equipment being replaced. Check our customer reviews to see why Charlotte trusts us.
