February: Research and Budgeting
Research different types of heating systems, such as furnaces, heat pumps, or boilers. Obtain quotes from multiple contractors and compare prices. Early research helps you make an informed decision and secure better deals.

Begin preparing your home for installation. Clear access to areas where the system will be installed. Obtain any necessary permits from local authorities. This preparation ensures a smooth process when the time comes.
May: Finalize Details and Purchase Equipment
Confirm installation dates with your contractor. Purchase any additional components or accessories needed for your new system. Review warranty and maintenance plans.
