Start with the existing system
Identify the current heating type, fuel or electrical service, controls, indoor equipment, outdoor equipment and any known comfort concerns. The practical options depend on what the property can support.
Questions for the planning conversation
- How will the proposed system operate in this property
- Which existing components remain and which are replaced
- What electrical, gas, venting, drainage or control work needs review
- How backup or supplemental heat is handled when applicable
- Which permits, warranties, exclusions and startup steps are included
Confirm the complete configuration
Names such as heat pump, furnace and dual fuel describe broad system approaches. The approved equipment combination and installation scope should be documented for the actual property.
