Homes across Lakewood, CO, were mostly built during the 1950s, 60s, and 70s as single story ranch houses, and many still run on a furnace sized only for that original layout. When homeowners finish a basement or convert a garage, that equipment often cannot keep the new room warm, and some houses still depend on an old wall or floor furnace that was never built to heat more than a room or two. The result is cold additions and space heaters doing a furnace’s job. A new furnace installation in Lakewood, CO, sized around how the home is used today, solves this problem for good.

Signs Your Lakewood, CO, Home Needs a New Furnace Installation
Homeowners finishing a basement or adding square footage to a Lakewood ranch home often do not realize they need a new furnace installation until the new space stays cold. A few signs point to added capacity, not a simple repair.
- New square footage stays cold: A finished basement or converted garage never reaches the same temperature as the rest of the house.
- An old wall or floor furnace only heats part of the home: Equipment from the 1950s through 1970s was built for a room or two, not a full forced air home.
- Ductwork does not reach the new space: Additions built without ductwork planned in end up relying on space heaters instead of central heat.
- The furnace runs constantly without keeping up: Equipment sized for the original footprint works harder as square footage increases, without solving the problem.
Any of these signs is reason enough to have a technician evaluate the home first.
