It sits half below grade, loses heat to the ground, and often has short supply runs with no return of its own. The thermostat is usually on the main level, so it's satisfied long before the lower level warms up. We correct the return path and rebalance the supplies first, which costs far less than a bigger furnace and also helps summer cooling upstairs.

Yes, but it needs a level, stable base. On hillside lots we set a pad on compacted gravel, or use wall brackets where the slope is steep and the wall can carry the load. A condenser that settles and tilts strains the refrigerant lines and can hold water in the base pan. We also keep the service clearance and airflow space the manufacturer calls for around it.

Wherever the manufacturer's clearances and your association allow. A 96% furnace needs PVC intake and exhaust pipes through an outside wall or the roof, kept clear of windows, doors, the gas meter and a neighbor's openings, and above the snow line. In attached rows the only open wall may face a patio or a shared walk. Many associations want to approve the location first, so bring us the rules when we quote.

Only for a reason. The EPA says duct cleaning has never been shown to prevent health problems, and it points to cleaning when ducts have visible mold, signs of rodents or insects, or heavy dust and debris blowing out of the registers. After a big remodel, cleaning can make sense. Otherwise, a good filter changed on schedule and sealed return joints do more for the air in a 50-year-old system.
