Your new furnace will deliver steady heat throughout your home, even when the coastal fog rolls in and temperatures drop unexpectedly. No more cold spots in bedrooms or drafty mornings waiting for the system to catch up.
With a properly sized, high-efficiency system, you’ll see energy bills drop by up to 30% compared to older furnaces. Modern units convert more fuel into actual heat for your home instead of wasting it through poor efficiency.
You’ll have reliable heating that’s built to handle Montara’s salt air and humidity without the constant breakdowns that plague generic installations. That means fewer emergency calls and more money staying in your pocket.
We’ve been solving heating problems in Santa Clara County since 1985. We’re not just another HVAC company—we understand what Montara’s marine air does to heating systems and how to protect your investment.
Our technicians live and work in this area. They’ve seen what happens when furnaces aren’t properly protected from coastal conditions, and they know exactly how to install systems that actually work long-term in this environment.
We’re fully licensed, bonded, and insured, with deep community roots. We sponsor local events because this is our home too, and we take pride in keeping our neighbors comfortable year-round.
We start with a detailed assessment of your home’s heating needs, factoring in Montara’s coastal conditions, your home’s layout, and existing ductwork. This isn’t a quick sales pitch—we’re determining exactly what size and type of system will keep you comfortable.
Next, we provide a clear estimate that breaks down the work and explains why each component matters. No surprises, no pressure tactics, just honest recommendations based on what will actually solve your heating problems.
Installation day means experienced technicians who show up on time, protect your home, and complete the work efficiently. We test everything thoroughly, walk you through your new system’s operation, and make sure you’re completely satisfied before we leave.

Your furnace installation includes everything needed for reliable operation in Montara’s challenging environment. We handle proper sizing calculations that account for coastal humidity and temperature swings, not just square footage.
We install protective measures against salt air corrosion and ensure your system can handle the moisture levels that come with living near the ocean. This includes specialized treatments for metal components and proper ventilation design.
You’ll also benefit from available rebates and incentives. California homeowners can qualify for up to $8,000 in rebates for high-efficiency systems, plus federal tax credits up to $2,000. We help navigate these programs to maximize your savings while upgrading to reliable, efficient heating.
Furnace installation in Montara typically ranges from $4,500 to $8,500 for a complete system, depending on your home’s size, the furnace efficiency level, and any necessary ductwork modifications. Coastal installations often require additional protective measures against salt air corrosion, which can add to the cost but significantly extend equipment life.
However, current rebates can substantially reduce your out-of-pocket expense. California’s HEEHRA program offers up to $8,000 in rebates for qualifying households, and federal tax credits provide up to $2,000 additional savings. When you factor in energy bill reductions of 20-30% with a high-efficiency unit, most homeowners see positive cash flow within the first few years.
We provide detailed estimates that break down all costs upfront, including any available rebates you qualify for, so you know exactly what to expect with no hidden fees.
Proper furnace sizing in coastal areas requires more than just square footage calculations. Montara’s humidity, temperature swings, and marine air create unique heating loads that generic sizing methods often miss.
We perform detailed load calculations that factor in your home’s insulation, window placement, ceiling height, and how coastal conditions affect heat loss. A system that’s too small won’t keep you comfortable during cold, foggy periods. An oversized system will short-cycle, fail to remove humidity properly, and waste energy.
Signs of improper sizing include uneven temperatures throughout your home, high humidity even when heating is running, and frequent on-off cycling. Our sizing process ensures your new furnace handles both temperature and moisture control effectively, giving you consistent comfort while maximizing efficiency.
Most furnace installations in Montara take 6-8 hours for a straightforward replacement, or 1-2 days if ductwork modifications are needed. Coastal installations sometimes require additional time for protective treatments and proper ventilation setup.
The timeline depends on several factors: whether we’re replacing an existing system or installing in a new location, the complexity of your ductwork, and any upgrades needed to handle coastal conditions. We also factor in time for thorough testing and system commissioning to ensure everything operates correctly.
We’ll give you a clear timeline during the estimate process and keep you informed throughout the installation. Our goal is to complete the work efficiently while ensuring every detail is handled properly, so you have reliable heating for years to come.
Yes, we provide emergency furnace installation when your heating system fails completely and can’t be repaired. We understand that furnace breakdowns don’t wait for convenient times, especially during Montara’s unpredictable weather patterns.
For emergency installations, we keep high-efficiency units in stock and can often complete installation within 24-48 hours of your call. While emergency installations may have additional service fees, we work with you to find solutions that fit your budget, including available financing options.
We also offer 24/7 emergency repair service, which can sometimes restore heat temporarily while you plan for replacement. Our technicians carry diagnostic equipment and common repair parts, so we can often get you through cold nights while scheduling proper installation during regular hours.
We install major furnace brands including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, and Goodman—all proven performers in coastal California conditions. Our brand selection focuses on reliability, efficiency, and how well equipment handles salt air and humidity.
Different brands offer various features like variable-speed blowers, modulating gas valves, and advanced humidity control. We help you choose based on your specific needs, budget, and what works best in Montara’s climate rather than pushing any particular manufacturer.
All the brands we install come with manufacturer warranties, and we provide additional service guarantees on our installation work. We stock parts for the systems we install and have established relationships with local suppliers, ensuring quick service if you ever need repairs.
Coastal furnaces need more frequent attention than inland systems due to salt air and humidity. We recommend professional maintenance twice yearly—once before heating season and once mid-winter to address any salt buildup or moisture-related issues.
Between professional visits, check and replace your filter monthly rather than the typical 3-month interval. Montara’s marine air can clog filters faster, and a dirty filter forces your system to work harder. Keep outdoor components clear of vegetation and debris, which can trap moisture and accelerate corrosion.
Watch for early warning signs like unusual noises, uneven heating, or higher energy bills. Coastal conditions can cause problems to develop quickly, and early intervention usually means less expensive repairs. We offer maintenance plans that include priority scheduling and discounts on any needed repairs.
