Complete Furnace Installation Services
We manage every aspect of furnace installation from start to finish.
- Our process begins with assessing your home's heating requirements using Manual J load calculations. This determines the correct furnace size for your square footage, insulation levels, window types, and ductwork layout. Oversized furnaces short-cycle and waste energy. Undersized units run constantly without maintaining comfort. We size systems accurately, so your new furnace performs efficiently.
- We help you select equipment that matches your budget and efficiency goals, explaining differences between single-stage, two-stage, and modular furnaces. High-efficiency models reduce energy costs but require higher upfront investment. We present options clearly so you can make informed decisions.
- Our installation includes removing old equipment, positioning new furnaces with proper clearances, connecting gas lines or electrical service, installing venting systems, integrating thermostats, and testing all safety controls. We handle permitting and schedule inspections, so your installation meets Memphis building codes.
We source equipment from authorized distributors and register warranties immediately after installation. Our technicians are trained in current furnace technologies and install according to manufacturer specifications.

Memphis Installation Standards
We've installed furnaces across the Greater Memphis Area for over a decade. Our work meets local building codes and manufacturer requirements. Every installation includes these critical steps:
- Permitting - We pull necessary permits before installation begins and schedule inspections with city officials.
- Load calculations - Manual J calculations determine the correct furnace size for your specific home.
- Gas line sizing - For gas furnaces, we verify adequate gas pressure and proper line sizing to fuel burners safety.
- Venting - We install code-compliant venting systems—metal B-vent for standard efficiency furnaces, PVC for high-efficiency condensing units.
- Combustion air - We ensure adequate air supply for safe combustion and proper furnace operation.
- Ductwork assessment - We inspect existing ductwork for leaks, proper sizing, and adequate airflow to all rooms.
- Electrical connections - We wire furnaces correctly with proper circuit protection and grounding.
- Thermostat integration - We program and test thermostats to communicate properly with new equipment.
- Safety testing - We verify that all limit switches, flame sensors, and safety controls function correctly before leaving your home.
This attention to detail protects your investment and ensures your furnace operates safely for years.

Upgrading from an older 80% AFUE furnace to a modern 95%+ AFUE model can reduce heating costs by 15-20%, helping offset monthly payments through lower energy bills.

FAQs About Furnace Installation & Replacement
How Long Does Furnace Installation Take?
Most installations take 4-8 hours, depending on complexity. Straightforward replacements in accessible locations take less time. Installing furnaces in tight crawl spaces, adding new venting systems, or modifying ductwork extends installation time.
Do I Need Permits for Furnace Installation in Memphis?
Yes. Memphis requires permits for HVAC equipment installation. We handle all permitting and inspections, so your installation is legal and code-compliant. Unpermitted work creates problems during home sales and may void equipment warranties.
What’s the Difference Between 80% and 95% AFUE Furnaces?
AFUE measures efficiency. An 80% AFUE furnace converts 80% of fuel to heat, venting 20% up the flue. A 95% AFUE furnace captures more heat before venting, reducing fuel waste. High-efficiency models cost more upfront but save money long-term through lower gas bills.
Can You Install a Furnace in Any Location?
Furnaces require proper clearances for safety, adequate combustion air, and code-compliant venting. We assess your home and recommend the best location based on these factors, existing ductwork layout, and accessibility for future maintenance.
How Do I Choose the Right Furnace Size?
We perform Manual J load calculations that account for your home's square footage, insulation, windows, ceiling height, and ductwork. This scientific approach determines the correct furnace capacity. Guessing or matching your old furnace's size often results in improperly sized equipment.

“It started with Brock, a proficient, patient, helpful, thorough, and courteous representative of Smith’s Plumbing who arrived at scheduled time.”- Magda F.
I am an extremely pleased customer!
"It started with Brock, a proficient, patient, helpful, thorough, and courteous representative of Smith’s Plumbing who arrived at scheduled time. With 3 bids on hand, after Brock responded to my questions on different brands of tankless, position of gas and water pipes, along with a competitive price, It was an EASY decision to have Smith’s Plumbing replacing my 2 tanks water heater with a Rinnai RSC 199 tankless! Respectful, pleasant, and skillful install crew, Cody and Eli along with roofer Scott, took great care to protect wood floor and extra careful with hauling equipment up and down the stairs. The tankless water heater was up and running prior to 5PM on the same day. Rest assured it was my first and surely not my last experience with Smith’s Plumbing as I am an extremely pleased customer!"- Magda F.![]()
