Your mornings just got better. No more waking up to a cold house because your furnace gave up overnight. No more watching your energy bills climb while your old system works twice as hard to heat half as well.
A proper furnace installation means you control your comfort instead of hoping for it. Modern high-efficiency systems can cut your heating costs by 30% while keeping every room at the temperature you actually want. You’ll notice the difference in your first month’s bill.
The best part? You stop thinking about your heating system because it just works. Every day. All winter long.
Eco Air Home Services has been keeping Redwood City homes comfortable since 1985. Ramiro took over the family business in 2006, and we’ve built our reputation on something simple: showing up when we say we will and fixing what needs fixing.
Our technicians aren’t the revolving door type. These are long-term team members who know HVAC systems inside and out. We’ve seen every furnace problem Redwood City’s climate can throw at a heating system.
We offer 15% discounts for seniors and military members because we believe the people who built this community deserve better heating bills. When your neighbors recommend an HVAC company, this is usually the one they mention.
First, we come out and actually look at your home. Not just your old furnace, but your ductwork, your space, your specific heating needs. We measure everything that matters for proper sizing because an oversized furnace wastes money and an undersized one leaves you cold.
Next, we walk you through your options. Gas, electric, high-efficiency models – we explain what works best for your situation and budget. No pressure, just straight information about what each choice means for your comfort and your wallet.
Installation day, we show up on time with everything needed to complete the job. We handle permits, connect everything properly, test the system thoroughly, and clean up after ourselves. Before we leave, we make sure you understand how to operate your new system and what maintenance it needs to keep running efficiently.

Every furnace installation includes proper system sizing, all necessary permits, professional installation, and complete system testing. We don’t charge extra for basic requirements that should be standard with any professional job.
In Redwood City’s mild climate, you have good options for efficiency. High-efficiency gas furnaces can reach 96% AFUE ratings, meaning almost every dollar of fuel goes toward heating your home instead of disappearing up the flue. For homes without gas lines, modern electric systems provide reliable heat with simpler maintenance requirements.
We work with trusted brands and provide manufacturer warranties on all equipment plus our own installation warranty. You also get operating instructions and maintenance recommendations to keep your system running efficiently for years. Our goal is simple: you should never have to think about your heating system once it’s properly installed.
Furnace installation typically ranges from $4,000 to $8,000 in Redwood City, depending on the system type and installation complexity. Basic gas furnace replacements start around $4,000, while high-efficiency systems can reach $8,000 or more.
The biggest cost factors are the furnace size needed for your home, efficiency rating, and any ductwork modifications required. We provide detailed written estimates after evaluating your specific situation, so you know exactly what you’re paying for before work begins.
Most installations can be completed in one day, and we handle all permits and inspections required by Redwood City. The investment pays off through lower energy bills and reliable heating for 15-20 years.
Redwood City’s mild winters make it ideal for high-efficiency gas furnaces or heat pump systems. Since temperatures rarely drop below freezing, you don’t need the heavy-duty heating capacity required in colder climates.
Gas furnaces with 90%+ efficiency ratings provide excellent performance and lower operating costs if you have natural gas service. For homes without gas lines, electric furnaces or heat pumps work well since extreme cold isn’t a concern here.
Heat pumps are particularly effective in Redwood City because they can provide both heating and cooling efficiently. They work well in temperatures down to 20°F, and since local winters rarely get that cold, you get excellent year-round performance.
Most furnace installations are completed in 6-8 hours, typically finished in one day. Straightforward replacements where the new system uses existing ductwork and connections move faster, while installations requiring ductwork modifications or electrical upgrades can take a full day.
The timeline depends on your specific situation. If we’re replacing an existing furnace with a similar model using the same fuel type, installation is usually straightforward. Converting between fuel types or upgrading electrical service adds time to the project.
We schedule installations to minimize disruption to your routine. Most work happens during regular business hours, and we always clean up completely before leaving. You’ll have heat the same day we start the installation.
Yes, furnace installations require permits in Redwood City, and we handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our service. Most installations need both mechanical and electrical permits depending on the system type and complexity.
We know local code requirements and ensure everything meets current standards. The permit process is included in our installation service, so you don’t need to deal with city offices or schedule inspectors yourself.
Proper permits protect you if you sell your home later and ensure the installation meets safety standards. We coordinate all required inspections and won’t consider the job complete until everything passes inspection.
New furnaces need annual professional maintenance and regular filter changes to maintain efficiency and warranty coverage. Most manufacturers require annual service to keep warranties valid, and regular maintenance prevents costly repairs later.
Annual maintenance includes cleaning, inspecting all components, testing safety systems, and adjusting the system for optimal performance. We also check for potential issues before they become expensive problems.
Between professional visits, you should change filters every 1-3 months depending on the filter type and your home’s conditions. We’ll show you how to check and change filters and provide a maintenance schedule tailored to your specific system.
Modern high-efficiency furnaces typically reduce energy costs by 20-30% compared to systems over 10 years old. If your current furnace is 15+ years old, the savings can be even greater since older systems lose efficiency over time.
High-efficiency models with 90%+ AFUE ratings convert almost all fuel into usable heat instead of wasting energy through inefficient combustion. In Redwood City’s climate, homeowners usually see noticeable bill reductions within the first month of operation.
The exact savings depend on your current system’s condition, your home’s insulation, and local utility rates. During our evaluation, we can estimate potential savings based on your specific situation and help you choose a system that balances upfront cost with long-term energy savings.
