Why the Installer Matters Most in the Brand Selection

We Select the Right Brand Based on Your Home’s Needs

Every home is different. We recommend Thermo Pride or Spirit based on:

• Home size and duct layout
• Access and clearance for installation
• Burner preferences and serviceability
• Noise considerations
• Temperature rise and comfort goals

Thermo Pride, for example, is known for its Octatherm™ heat exchanger, delivering a high temperature rise and extremely warm supply air. Spirit furnaces, meanwhile, offer durable cast‑iron or steel heat exchangers designed for longevity and straightforward maintenance. 

Repeatable, Reliable Installation

Because we install these brands frequently, our installation process is predictable, consistent, and smooth. We know:

• The exact materials required
• Burner integration and tuning
• Flue and venting requirements
• Coil/duct transitions
• Service clearances and code placement

Repeatability reduces installation time and minimizes issues long‑term—your system is installed the right way, every time.

Licensed Divisions Handle All Fuel Piping

Oil furnaces are only as reliable as the fuel system feeding them. Homestead Comfort has licensed divisions that handle:

• Oil tank transitions and filtration
• Oil line installation or replacement
• Code‑compliant routing and shut‑off placement
• Vacuum testing and leak checks

One team handles everything—no subcontractors needed.

Strong Warranty Support Begins With Quality Installation

Thermo Pride furnaces are backed by industry‑leading warranties, including Lifetime Limited Heat Exchanger coverage on many models. Spirit units focus on simpler, mechanical designs with durable exchangers and straightforward service access, which helps keep ownership costs low.

The equipment is strong—but the installer behind it matters even more. Our longstanding relationships with distributors and manufacturer support teams mean faster parts, quicker solutions, and smoother warranty processing when needed.
