We’ve been serving Hillsborough homeowners since 1985. What started under Ramiro’s father became a second-generation family business when Ramiro took over in 2006.
We understand Hillsborough’s unique needs. Your home represents a significant investment, and you expect contractors who respect that. We’ve built our reputation on quality work, honest recommendations, and technicians who’ve been with us for years.
Many of our customers are established homeowners who value reliability over the cheapest price. They know that proper installation protects their investment and prevents costly problems down the road.
We start with a thorough assessment of your home’s heating needs. This isn’t a quick walkthrough—we measure spaces, evaluate existing ductwork, and calculate the right system size based on your home’s specific characteristics.
Once you approve our recommendation, we handle all permits and scheduling. Our licensed technicians remove your old system safely, then install your new furnace with proper connections to gas lines, electrical systems, and ductwork.
After installation, we test everything thoroughly. We check for proper combustion, verify all safety systems work correctly, and walk you through your new system’s operation. You’ll know exactly how to maintain your investment for years of reliable service.

Hillsborough’s Mediterranean climate means your furnace needs to handle mild winters efficiently without oversized equipment that cycles frequently. We size systems properly for local conditions and your home’s specific requirements.

Furnace installation costs in Hillsborough typically range from $2,900 to $15,000, depending on your home’s size, the type of system you choose, and any necessary ductwork modifications. Higher-efficiency models cost more upfront but deliver greater energy savings over time.
Several factors affect your final cost: the size of your home, whether you need electrical upgrades, the complexity of existing ductwork, and the specific furnace model. We provide detailed estimates that include all necessary work, permits, and testing so you know the total investment upfront.
Federal tax credits can cover up to 30% of installation costs for qualifying high-efficiency systems, and California rebates can add thousands more in savings. We help you navigate all available incentives to minimize your net cost.
Most furnace installations take a full day to complete, though complex installations may require additional time. We don’t rush the process because proper installation requires careful attention to safety measures and system testing.
Our technicians need time to safely remove your old system, prepare the installation area, connect gas lines and electrical systems properly, and conduct thorough testing. We check for carbon monoxide leaks, verify gas pressure, and test all safety controls before considering the job complete.
The installation timeline can vary if we need to modify ductwork, upgrade electrical connections, or address unexpected issues with your home’s existing systems. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe during our initial assessment and keep you informed if anything changes.
Yes, furnace installation in Hillsborough requires proper permits, especially for gas-powered systems. Permits ensure your installation meets local building codes and safety standards, protecting both your family and your home investment.
We handle all permit applications and coordinate required inspections with local authorities. This isn’t just about following rules—unpermitted work can void your home insurance, create liability issues, and cause problems when you sell your home.
Some contractors skip permits to save time or money, but this puts you at risk. Properly permitted installations give you confidence that the work meets professional standards and won’t create safety hazards or legal complications later.
Furnace sizing requires a professional load calculation that considers much more than just square footage. We evaluate your home’s insulation quality, window sizes, ceiling height, ductwork condition, and Hillsborough’s specific climate conditions.
Most homes need around 60,000 BTUs, but bigger isn’t always better. An oversized furnace cycles on and off frequently, wasting energy and creating uncomfortable temperature swings. An undersized system runs constantly without reaching desired temperatures.
We use industry-standard calculations to determine the right capacity for your specific home. This ensures efficient operation, consistent comfort, and optimal energy costs. Proper sizing also extends your furnace’s lifespan by preventing the strain that comes from working too hard or cycling too frequently.
We strongly recommend against DIY furnace installation. Working with gas lines, electrical connections, and combustion systems requires specialized training and tools that most homeowners don’t have. The safety risks are significant.
Improper installation can cause carbon monoxide leaks, gas explosions, or electrical fires. Even minor mistakes can void your manufacturer’s warranty, leaving you responsible for expensive repairs. Most furnace manufacturers require professional installation to maintain warranty coverage.
California requires permits for furnace installation, and inspectors expect work performed by licensed professionals. DIY installation can create liability issues with your insurance company and problems when you sell your home. The money you think you’ll save isn’t worth the risks to your family’s safety.
Your new furnace needs regular filter changes every 1-3 months, depending on usage and filter type. This simple step maintains good airflow and protects your system from dust and debris that can cause expensive damage.
Annual professional maintenance is essential for warranty coverage and optimal performance. We check refrigerant levels, clean components, inspect electrical connections, and test safety controls. This preventive care catches small issues before they become major repairs.
Hillsborough’s mild climate means less wear on your system compared to extreme weather areas. With proper maintenance, your furnace should provide reliable service for 15-20 years while maintaining good efficiency. We offer maintenance plans that include preferred scheduling and reminders for needed service.
