Our New System Installation Services

It’s inevitable that any heating and cooling system will at some point need to be replaced. While regular maintenance can boost a system’s efficiency and extend the usual 10-15 year lifespan, there is no magic fix to make them last forever. And that’s not always a bad thing.

Replacing your older unit with new, higher efficiency technology can dramatically increase comfort and cut energy costs. Some high efficiency new systems are tax credit qualifying, so you’ll save even more. When replacing a system, it’s also a good time to make other improvements like insulating and cleaning your ductwork for a fresh start.

Guirkin Plumbing, Heating & Cooling installs and services all makes and models of equipment, and we are an authorized Trane Dealer.

One of the most important aspects of installing new equipment is making sure that new systems are properly sized for the space. Issues like excessive humidity, rooms that never seem to reach the desired temperature, or systems that run continuously are clues that a system was improperly sized. Units that are too large are just as bad as too small. Choosing an experienced HVAC contractor is essential. Keep in mind that you will be relying on this purchase for your family’s comfort (and paying the associated energy bills) for a decade or more. Not surprisingly, units that are improperly sized also tend to wear out faster. If you’re replacing a system, let us know about any issues you had with your previous equipment so we can remedy them. We may also recommend ductwork modifications, such as dampers or new returns, for increased comfort.

The new ductless systems that you may have seen mounted on walls or ceilings may be a good solution as well. These systems are extremely efficient, remote controlled, and can be mounted on walls or ceilings. They don’t require ductwork, and are only used when you need them.

Most change outs & installs are completed the same day, to minimize the disruption to your schedule. We are also licensed gas fitters, so you won’t experience delays if you choose a gas furnace.
