How Edelman Installs Furnaces Differently
See how Edelman handles five common homeowner concerns, and how other DeKalb-area installers may handle them. Each row starts with something you care about, from a correctly sized furnace to post-job support.
| Your Concern | How Edelman Handles It | How Other Furnace Installers Handle It |
|---|---|---|
| A furnace matched to your actual building | We calculate the heating needs from the size and layout of the space, then compare that number with the equipment options | Some installers pick a furnace from the model number on the old unit and never measure the space it heats |
| One written price | We put equipment and labor in a single quote that you approve before work begins | Some installers give a price by phone or in separate pieces, and extra items can show up on the final bill |
| A safe venting and gas setup | NATE-certified technicians complete the venting and gas connections | Some crews have no NATE-certified technician on the job, even for venting and gas connections |
| A clear comparison of options | We explain the equipment options that fit your home and budget, and the choice stays yours | Some installers offer a single furnace at a single price, so you have nothing to compare it against |
| Support after the installation | A 100% Satisfaction Guarantee backs the work | Some installers offer no guarantee on the installation, so you pay for any problem that shows up afterward |
How Your Type of Home Affects Installation
The right furnace depends on the building it heats. Many older DeKalb homes have ductwork that past owners added or changed over the years, and many homes near Northern Illinois University (NIU) are rentals. Before we recommend equipment, we ask who lives in the building and how long the furnace needs to last.

We schedule the home evaluation before the first hard freeze, so you can compare equipment while the weather is mild
Your Situation
A rental property between terms
What We Do
We schedule the installation around the vacancy and finish before tenants return

Installation Process
What to Expect During Your Furnace Installation in DeKalb
Your installation follows six steps, from the first phone call to a full test of the new furnace.
Step What We Do
Initial Call
We ask about the building and the current furnace. We also confirm whether the home is owner-occupied or a rental.
Home Evaluation
A NATE-certified technician measures the space you heat and checks the existing ducts and venting.
System Recommendation
We recommend equipment that fits the calculated heating needs, then explain how each option differs in price and features.
Written Quote
You receive one price for equipment and labor. We apply any current promotions to that price.
Installation
We remove the old furnace and install the new one. Then we finish the venting and connect the thermostat.
Final System Check
We start the furnace and watch a complete heating cycle. Before we leave, we confirm the thermostat keeps the home warm and explain the controls.
