HVAC SERVICE IN TOLLAND & SURROUNDING CONNECTICUT TOWNS
Furnace installation for Connecticut homes.
Furnace and ductwork installation · Ideal Mechanical Services
A new furnace is a long-term heating decision, and the right equipment depends on the house you have: the fuel available, the condition of the existing system and ductwork, and how the rooms are used. We install and replace residential forced-air furnaces and will walk through the options in plain language before any work begins.
Ideal Mechanical Services has more than 16 years of experience with heating and cooling equipment and is based at 74 Nedwied Rd in Tolland. We serve homeowners throughout our service area, including Glastonbury, Hebron, Coventry, Andover, Vernon, and Manchester, along with the other towns listed below.
Oil, gas, and propane furnaces
We install residential furnaces that run on oil, natural gas, or propane, matching the fuel that already serves the home. When a fuel conversion is part of the project, we can discuss that as well. The goal is a system that fits the house you have, not a one-size-fits-all default.
High-efficiency furnaces
When it is time for a new furnace, many homeowners look at high-efficiency equipment. Whether that is the right fit depends on the home, the venting, and the existing distribution. Qualifying furnace projects may be eligible for programs administered through Energize CT or financing through the Connecticut Green Bank Smart-E program, subject to program rules and approval. Program details change, so we talk about current options as they apply to your project rather than quoting figures that may not apply. Learn more on our Connecticut Green Bank page.
Replacing an old furnace
If your furnace is cycling poorly, heating unevenly, or needing repeated repairs, it may be time to look at a replacement rather than another repair. We can explain the findings from a visit and discuss a new install when it is appropriate. For general furnace service, repair, and maintenance questions, see our heating page. If the home uses a boiler instead of a furnace, see boiler installation and replacement.
Pairing with central air or a heat pump
A forced-air furnace uses ductwork that can also serve a central air conditioner, so a furnace installation is often planned alongside the cooling system already in the home or a new air conditioning project. In some houses, a heat pump can be paired with a conventional furnace in a dual-fuel or hybrid arrangement, or the furnace can remain as backup in very cold weather. We will say whether that approach is a good fit, or whether a furnace-only replacement makes more sense.
How to choose the right furnace
The right installation depends on the house. We look at:
The fuel available at the home — oil, natural gas, or propane — and whether a conversion is part of the project
The condition of the existing furnace, venting, and ductwork
Whether the same ducts will serve central air conditioning
Whether a heat pump should be paired with the furnace in a dual-fuel or hybrid arrangement
How the rooms are used and what you want the new system to do
We explain the tradeoffs in plain language and recommend equipment that fits the home.
What a furnace installation includes
A typical installation is more than setting a new cabinet in place. Depending on the equipment and the home, the work can include:
An evaluation of the existing heating system, fuel supply, venting, and ductwork
Equipment selection and sizing for the home, including high-efficiency options when those are a good fit
Removal of the furnace being replaced, when that is part of the project
Placement, connections, and controls for the new equipment
Permits and code-required inspections for the project
Startup, checks for proper operation, and a walkthrough of basic operation
Tell us your town, what you have now, and what you want the new system to do. Free estimates are available for new installations and replacements; diagnostic visits and repair services are billed.
Rebates and payment options
Qualifying furnace upgrades may be eligible for programs administered through Energize CT or financing through the Connecticut Green Bank Smart-E program, subject to program rules and approval. Ideal Mechanical Services is an approved contractor in the Connecticut Green Bank Smart-E Loan program. We can also discuss Wisetack financing, which is subject to credit approval and the lender’s terms. Learn more on our Connecticut Green Bank page.
Emergency HVAC service
Heating or cooling emergency outside normal business hours? Call (860) 368-7625 to ask about emergency service availability. Our regular business hours are Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–4:00 PM.
We install residential oil, gas, and propane furnaces, including high-efficiency equipment when it is a good fit for the home. The right furnace depends on the fuel that serves the house, the existing ductwork and venting, and how the rooms are used. We can also discuss a fuel conversion when that is part of the project.
Can you replace my old furnace?
Yes. We replace existing forced-air furnaces as well as install new systems. If you are dealing with repeated breakdowns, uneven heat, or equipment that is at the end of its service life, we can explain the findings and discuss a replacement when it is appropriate. A typical replacement includes removing the existing furnace when that is part of the project, setting and connecting the new equipment, and checking that the system starts and operates as it should.
Can a new furnace work with central air or a heat pump?
A forced-air furnace uses ductwork that can also serve a central air conditioner, so a furnace installation is often planned with the cooling system already in the home or with a new air conditioning project. In some houses, a heat pump can be paired with a conventional furnace in a dual-fuel or hybrid arrangement, or the furnace can remain as backup in very cold weather. We will tell you whether that approach is a good fit for the home.
Do you install high-efficiency furnaces?
Yes, when a high-efficiency furnace is the right match for the house, including the venting and the existing distribution. Qualifying furnace projects may be eligible for programs administered through Energize CT or financing through the Connecticut Green Bank Smart-E program, subject to program rules and approval. We talk about current options as they apply to your project rather than quoting figures that may not apply.
Are rebates or financing available for a new furnace?
Qualifying furnace projects may be eligible for programs administered through Energize CT or financing through the Connecticut Green Bank Smart-E program, subject to program rules and approval. Wisetack financing is also available for qualifying projects, subject to credit approval and the lender’s terms. We can discuss current options as they apply to your project.
