Your furnace installation includes everything needed for reliable operation. We handle gas line connections, electrical hookups, ductwork modifications, and thermostat installation. All work meets California building codes and manufacturer requirements.
Burlingame’s median home age of 1957 means many properties need additional considerations. Older ductwork might require sealing or replacement. Electrical panels sometimes need upgrades to handle modern furnace requirements. We identify these needs upfront, not after we’ve started work.
We also provide the required seismic strapping for earthquake safety compliance. This isn’t optional in the Bay Area, and it’s included in our installation process. Your new system will be properly secured and code-compliant from day one.
Furnace installation in Burlingame typically ranges from $5,000 to $10,000, depending on your home’s specific requirements and the efficiency level you choose. Bay Area pricing runs higher than national averages due to local labor costs and California’s strict building codes.

For homes built in the 1940s and 1950s, proper sizing becomes crucial. Many older Burlingame properties have unique layouts and insulation characteristics that affect heating requirements. We use Manual J load calculations to determine the right capacity for your specific home.
Electric heat pumps are becoming more popular due to Bay Area environmental initiatives and available rebates. They work efficiently in our moderate climate and can provide both heating and cooling. We’ll help you evaluate all options based on your home’s characteristics and your budget.
Most furnace installations in Burlingame take one to two days. Straightforward replacements using existing gas lines and ductwork typically complete in one day. More complex installations requiring ductwork modifications or electrical upgrades may take two days.
