Starting a basement renovation Toronto project is a big decision, and not a decision to go into lightly without the proper research being conducted. Depending on the age of a home, the basement may not have ever been meant to be used as a living space for the family. In many cases, the basement was a place to house mechanical equipment and maybe a couple of other appliances, such as a washer and dryer. Before pushing forward with renovations, such as adding insulation and drywall, be certain if a furnace and AC system needs replacing by contacting A-Plus Quality, Heating and Cooling in Toronto and the GTA. Not only will the basement have much better temperature control for comfort, but replacing a furnace and AC system can increase a home's value up to 10%.
Benefits of Replacing Your Furnace Before Renovating Your Basement
Many homes store the actual furnace in the basement, along with a water heater, and air conditioning evaporator, so it is best to contact a basement renovation contractor in Toronto to help make determinations. Duct systems generally run between the joists of the ceiling in a basement, so closing the ceiling or walls up before your furnace installation appointment in Toronto can cause unneeded effort.
How a New Furnace Can Improve Your Basement
A new furnace in your Toronto home can help in a great many ways. Generally, a new furnace will increase the ability to control the amount of heat that enters a specific space, such as a basement. A new furnace will compensate for new square footage created during a remodel that adds square footage. Increasing demand on a unit that is too small will cause the unit to work overtime to compensate and raise energy bills, while also not delivering the kind of comfort wanted. New furnaces are much more energy-efficient than older furnaces, delivering much more bang for the buck when it comes to heating bills. Be sure to find all the value that can come from having a new furnace installed by contacting our team at A-Plus Quality Heating and Cooling in Toronto and the GTA.
