Step 1 of 3: Equipment
Lovell asks a lot of a heating and cooling system
Winter nights here average 12°F from December through February, and homes need heat from September through June. That is ten months of the year a furnace has to start reliably and hold up, not just get through the coldest stretch.
Summer is short in Lovell, just July and August, with afternoons averaging 79°F. Between the two seasons, something in the house is working nearly all year, so both the furnace and the air conditioner need to be sized for what this place actually asks of them.

- When should I replace my HVAC system?
- Replace it when repairs get more frequent, energy bills keep climbing, or a contractor tells you a part is failing rather than waiting for a full breakdown. Furnaces and air conditioners wear out over the years they run, and here that means the heat carries most of the load, with cooling needed only in July and August. Age alone isn't the test. If the system struggles to keep up on the coldest nights or needs constant attention, that's the sign to replace it.
- Should I replace my furnace and air conditioner at the same time?
- If both are old, it usually makes sense to replace them together. A furnace and air conditioner installed at the same time are matched to each other, and pairing a new unit with an old one can keep the new one from running the way it's supposed to. If only one is failing and the other still has years left, a contractor can size the replacement to work with what you're keeping.
- What happens during an HVAC installation?
- A contractor removes the old equipment, sets the new furnace or air conditioner in place, and connects it to your ductwork, gas or electric line, and thermostat. They check the ducts for leaks or sizing problems, since a new system moving air through bad ductwork won't heat or cool the way it should. Once everything is connected, they test it, run it through a full cycle, and confirm it holds the temperature you set. What your job involves depends on what's being replaced and how your home is set up, so a contractor can walk you through the specifics.
