You wake up to a warm house every morning. Your monthly heating bills become predictable instead of shocking. No more wondering if your furnace will make it through another winter.
When your heating system works properly, you forget it’s even there. That’s exactly how it should be.
A properly installed, high-efficiency furnace can cut your PG&E bills significantly compared to that old unit that’s been limping along. Many of our East Palo Alto neighbors see the difference in their first month.
We’ve been keeping Santa Clara County comfortable since 1985. When Ramiro took over from his father in 2006, he kept the same commitment to honest work and fair pricing that built our reputation.
You’ve probably seen our trucks around East Palo Alto. We’re the local company that sponsors community events and offers 15% discounts to seniors and military families.
Our technicians aren’t here today, gone tomorrow contractors. They’re experienced professionals who know East Palo Alto homes and stick around to service what they install.
We start by looking at your current system and your home’s actual heating needs. No sales pressure, no inflated recommendations. Just straight talk about what will work best for your situation and budget.
Our team handles everything – permits, California’s seismic strapping requirements, proper connections, and thorough testing. We remove your old unit completely and clean up like we were never there.
Before we leave, you get a complete walkthrough of your new system. How to operate it, when to change filters, what to watch for. We’re available for questions because we want your investment to pay off for years.

Every installation includes proper sizing calculations, all required permits, and full California code compliance including mandatory seismic strapping. You don’t handle any of the technical details or bureaucracy.
East Palo Alto’s housing ranges from older homes near Cooley Landing to newer developments along 101. Each installation is different, and we adapt our approach to your specific home’s needs and challenges.
We connect to existing ductwork, upgrade gas lines when necessary, and dispose of your old equipment responsibly. Complete cleanup is included – your only reminder of our visit is reliable heat.
Most East Palo Alto homeowners invest between $5,000 and $9,500 for complete furnace installation, including the unit and professional installation. Your final cost depends on your home’s size, the efficiency level you choose, and any additional work needed.
California building codes require special seismic strapping and mounting, adding about $200-$400 to installation costs. This isn’t optional – it’s mandatory for safety in earthquake-prone areas like ours.
We provide upfront, written estimates with no hidden fees. During our home assessment, you’ll get exact costs based on your specific situation, including permits or gas line modifications.
Natural gas furnaces are the most popular choice here because PG&E provides reliable gas service throughout East Palo Alto. Gas units heat quickly and efficiently – perfect for our mild but sometimes unpredictable Bay Area weather.
High-efficiency models (90% AFUE or higher) work exceptionally well in our climate and can significantly reduce monthly heating costs. California requires Low NOx furnaces to meet air quality standards, which we factor into every recommendation.
The right size depends on your home’s square footage, insulation quality, and layout. We perform detailed load calculations to ensure your new furnace isn’t oversized or undersized – both waste energy and cause comfort problems.
Most installations take 6-10 hours, depending on your home’s setup and whether modifications are needed. Straightforward replacements where we’re swapping similar units typically finish in one day.
If we need to upgrade gas lines, modify ductwork, or make electrical changes, the job might extend to two days. We’ll give you an accurate timeline during our initial assessment – no surprises.
We work efficiently but never rush safety-critical steps. Proper installation is essential for your safety, system efficiency, and warranty coverage. Everything gets tested thoroughly before we consider the job complete.
Yes, we provide emergency services when your heating system fails completely. East Palo Alto winters might be mild, but you still need reliable heat, especially during those occasional cold snaps that catch everyone off guard.
Emergency installations typically cost more due to after-hours service, but we’re completely transparent about pricing upfront. If your furnace fails during normal business hours, we can often provide same-day or next-day installation depending on equipment availability.
We keep common furnace models in stock specifically for emergency situations. Our goal is restoring your heat quickly while maintaining the same quality installation standards we use for planned replacements.
Several programs can help reduce your furnace installation costs in East Palo Alto. PG&E offers rebates for high-efficiency gas furnaces, and there are additional incentives for upgrading from older, inefficient units.
If you’re considering switching to electric heating, rebates can be substantial – up to $1,000 for replacing gas heating with electric, plus potential zero-interest loans up to $10,000. We stay current on all available programs and help with applications.
Federal tax credits are also available for high-efficiency installations – currently up to 30% of the cost back as a tax credit, with a maximum of $2,000. We help you understand exactly which incentives apply to your specific situation.
We’ve been serving Santa Clara County for 40 years – since 1985. That longevity comes from doing quality work and treating customers fairly, not from high-pressure sales tactics or cutting corners on installation.
Our technicians are long-term employees, not rotating subcontractors. When you call for service years from now, you’ll likely work with the same skilled technician who installed your system. This continuity matters for ongoing maintenance and repairs.
We offer 15% discounts for seniors and military members, and we’re active in community sponsorships throughout East Palo Alto. We live and work here – your satisfaction directly impacts our reputation with your neighbors.
