Hear from Our Customers
You’re done with that old furnace that can’t keep up anymore. No more cold mornings wondering if it’ll start, no more sky-high energy bills from an inefficient system that’s working twice as hard to heat half as well.
With a properly installed high-efficiency furnace, your home stays consistently comfortable while your energy bills drop. You get the peace of mind that comes from knowing your heating system meets California’s strict efficiency standards and will keep your family warm for the next 15-20 years.
The difference is immediate. Even heating throughout your home, lower monthly costs, and the confidence that comes from working with contractors who’ve been serving Woodside families since 1985.
We’ve been keeping Woodside homes comfortable since 1985, when Ramiro’s father started our company. Ramiro took over in 2006, and we’ve built our reputation on something simple: treating every customer like family.
Most of our calls come from seniors in the community, and there’s a reason for that. We offer 15% discounts for both seniors and military members because we believe in taking care of the people who built this community.
Our technicians aren’t rotating contractors from somewhere else. They’re experienced professionals who know Santa Clara County’s unique requirements, from Title 24 efficiency standards to seismic mounting codes. When you call us, you’re working with people who live and work right here in your neighborhood.
We start with a proper load calculation for your home. This isn’t guesswork – we measure your space, assess your insulation, and determine exactly what size furnace will heat your home efficiently without wasting energy on an oversized system.
Next comes the installation itself. We handle all permits required by local building codes, including the seismic strapping that’s mandatory in our earthquake-prone area. Our technicians connect your new system to existing gas lines and ductwork, test everything thoroughly, and make sure you understand how to operate your new furnace.
Before we leave, we walk you through your new system and explain your warranty coverage. You’ll have our contact information for any questions, and we’re always available for emergency service calls when you need us most.
Ready to get started?
Every furnace we install meets or exceeds California’s Title 24 energy efficiency requirements. Most of our installations qualify for PG&E rebates up to $1,500, which we help you navigate to maximize your savings.
Your installation includes proper sizing based on your home’s specific needs, not a one-size-fits-all approach. We install high-efficiency units that typically achieve 90%+ AFUE ratings, which can save you $200-$400 annually on energy bills compared to older systems.
In Woodside’s climate, where we have mild winters but occasional cold snaps, proper installation is critical. We ensure your system can handle temperature variations while maintaining efficiency. All installations include required seismic mounting and are fully permitted and inspected according to San Mateo County requirements.
Furnace installation in Woodside typically ranges from $5,000 to $9,500, including both the unit and professional installation. The final cost depends on your home’s size, the efficiency level you choose, and any additional work needed like ductwork modifications or electrical upgrades.
High-efficiency models cost $1,000-$2,000 more upfront but can save $200-$400 annually on energy bills. In most cases, the energy savings justify the higher initial cost within 5-7 years. We provide detailed estimates that break down equipment and labor costs, plus help you understand available rebates from PG&E that can reduce your total investment.
California’s Title 24 building code requires all new furnace installations to meet at least 80% AFUE efficiency, but we typically recommend 90%+ efficiency units for Woodside homes. These high-efficiency models qualify for Energy Star certification and PG&E rebates.
The higher efficiency rating means more of your natural gas gets converted to heat for your home instead of being wasted through venting. A 95% AFUE furnace converts 95% of fuel to heat, while only 5% is lost. Given California’s energy costs, this efficiency difference adds up to significant savings on your monthly bills.
Most furnace installations in Woodside take one full day to complete, typically 6-8 hours depending on your home’s setup. If we’re replacing an existing furnace with a similar model, the process is usually straightforward since the gas lines and ductwork are already in place.
More complex installations that require ductwork modifications, electrical upgrades, or moving the unit to a new location can take 1-2 additional days. We handle all permit applications with San Mateo County, which typically take 1-2 weeks to process before we can begin work. We’ll give you an accurate timeline during your estimate so you can plan accordingly.
Yes, every furnace installation comes with comprehensive warranty coverage. The manufacturer provides warranties on equipment – typically 10-20 years on the heat exchanger and 5-10 years on other components, depending on the brand and model you choose.
We also warranty our installation workmanship for one full year. This covers any issues related to the installation itself, including connections, mounting, and system setup. If anything goes wrong due to our installation work, we’ll return and fix it at no charge. We register your equipment warranty immediately after installation to ensure full coverage begins right away.
Proper furnace sizing requires a detailed load calculation based on your home’s square footage, insulation levels, ceiling height, window types, and local climate conditions. A general rule of thumb is 30-60 BTUs per square foot, but this varies significantly based on your home’s efficiency.
An oversized furnace will short-cycle, turning on and off frequently, which reduces efficiency and comfort while increasing wear on components. An undersized unit will struggle to maintain comfortable temperatures and run constantly. We perform professional load calculations for every installation to ensure your new furnace matches your home’s specific heating needs perfectly.
Absolutely – we handle all permit applications and inspections required for furnace installation in Woodside and San Mateo County. California law requires permits for furnace replacement, and the process involves specific requirements for efficiency standards, seismic mounting, and safety compliance.
Permit fees typically range from $100-$400 depending on the scope of work, and we include this cost in your estimate upfront. We submit all applications, schedule required inspections, and ensure your installation meets all local building codes. This protects you legally and ensures your manufacturer’s warranty remains valid.
