Stay Warm During A Longview, Texas Winter
Is it time for a new home furnace? Whether you are in the market for a gas furnace or a forced air furnace, Alco Air can install the furnace that meets the needs of your home or business.
What You Need To Know Before Buying A Gas Furnace?
Today’s furnaces are more efficient than ever! When choosing a gas furnace, you will want to know its annual fuel efficiency (AFUE) rating. While many older models have an AFUE rating of 65% or lower, Alco Air currently offers gas furnaces with AFUE ratings as high as 96.6%. What does the AFUE rating mean for you? This translates to less fuel used to heat your home, which means that you can save up to 50% in operating costs with a new gas furnace.

FAQs
How can I determine if my existing gas lines are adequate for a high-efficiency 96% AFUE furnace?
High-efficiency furnaces often require specific gas pressure and pipe sizing to operate their multi-stage burners correctly. Our technicians inspect your existing manifold and gas line diameter during the quote process to ensure they can deliver the consistent fuel flow required for peak performance.
What is the difference between a single-stage and a two-stage gas valve for home comfort?
A single-stage valve is either 100% on or off, whereas a two-stage valve can run at a lower capacity during milder weather to provide more even heat and quieter operation. This prevents the “blast” of hot air followed by cold spots, significantly improving comfort while reducing the number of times your furnace cycles on and off.
Does a new gas furnace installation require a new chimney liner or different venting?
Modern high-efficiency furnaces typically vent through PVC pipes out the side of your home rather than a traditional chimney because their exhaust is much cooler. If you are upgrading from an older “standard” furnace, we will seal off the old chimney vent and install a dedicated intake and exhaust system to ensure safe operation and prevent moisture damage.
Will a variable-speed blower motor help with hot or cold spots in my two-story home?
Yes, variable-speed blowers can run at very low speeds for extended periods, which keeps air circulating more consistently throughout the house. This constant, gentle airflow helps bridge the temperature gap between floors and prevents heat from simply pooling at the ceiling of your upper level.
What safety features are standard in Alco Air’s modern gas furnace installations?
Every installation includes multiple safety “limit switches” that automatically shut the system down if it detects overheating, a blocked vent, or a flame rollout. We also ensure your system is properly grounded and bonded, and we verify that the condensate drain is clear to prevent water from backing up into the sensitive electronic control boards.
