Investing in routine furnace maintenance is a wise decision that will significantly prolong the life of your HVAC system. We strongly recommend scheduling seasonal tune-ups for both your furnace and air conditioning units.

Furnace Replacement

Home comfort systems typically consist of two parts: an outdoor air conditioner or heat pump, and an indoor unit, such as a furnace. Furnaces are responsible for heating and circulating warm air during the winter, as well as circulating cool air from the outdoor unit throughout your home in the summer. By matching the right furnace with the appropriate heat pump or air conditioner, you can enjoy maximum energy efficiency.

To ensure your furnace lasts as long as possible, it's important to provide it with proper care throughout its life. While a well-maintained furnace can last over 40 years, this is rare, and upgrading to more advanced technology after 40 years may be a better option. Conversely, a furnace may fail before the ten-year mark.

At Leach & Company, we strive to provide every homeowner with the right furnace at the right price. We offer furnace replacement services in Central Illinois for a range of budgets, all of which come with one-year parts and labor warranties. We also provide on-site, no-cost quotes to ensure you feel confident in your decision to work with us. With multiple financing options and specials, we make it difficult to find a better deal on furnaces in Peoria, Tazewell, or Woodford County.

What Are Some Ways I Can Reduce Heating Costs?

To save money on energy, turn down the thermostat a few degrees. Keep your furnace maintained and replace air filters regularly to improve energy efficiency. Open the shades during the day to let in warm sunlight. Use programmable thermostats to schedule temperature changes and further reduce costs.
Should I Close Vents in Rooms I Don’t Use?

We advise against it. Your furnace is meant to heat your entire home, so if you close off any part of it, your heating system will have to work harder to push warm air into those areas. This puts unnecessary strain on the unit, resulting in inefficient operation, increased energy costs, and potential system failures. Even if you rarely use certain rooms, it's recommended to keep the vents open.
My House Doesn’t Heat Very Well—Do I Need a Bigger Furnace?

Many people mistakenly believe that a bigger furnace will produce more heat. However, it is crucial for your comfort, budget, and the lifespan of your equipment to have a furnace that is properly sized for your home. The ideal unit (approximately 40-45 BTUs per square foot) will run the necessary cycles to effectively heat all areas of your house. When you choose Leach & Company for furnace installation, you can be confident that you will receive the correct size for your needs.
Do I Need to Use a Humidifier in Winter?

Use a home humidifier to achieve maximum warmth and comfort while eliminating dry air and associated problems like sore throats, dry skin, itchy eyes, and bloody noses. It will also maintain ideal humidity levels between 35 and 50 percent, just like how humid air in summer adds a few degrees to the temperature.
