Your old furnace finally gave out, or you’re tired of watching your energy bills climb every winter. Either way, you need heating that actually works—not another band-aid repair that leaves you cold again next month.
A properly installed, right-sized furnace changes everything. Your home stays consistently comfortable instead of having hot and cold spots. Your monthly utility bills drop because modern systems use 30-40% less energy than older units. Most importantly, you stop worrying about whether your heating will work when that next cold snap hits.
We handle the technical details—load calculations, permits, proper sizing—so you get reliable heat that matches your home’s actual needs, not what the previous system happened to be.

North Fair Oaks’ Mediterranean climate creates specific heating requirements. You don’t need the massive systems that work in Minnesota, but you do need equipment that handles our coastal humidity and temperature swings efficiently.
We install gas, electric, and hybrid systems from trusted manufacturers, each properly sized using Manual J load calculations. High-efficiency models qualify for local rebates through Bay Area programs, often saving $500-$2,000 on your installation cost.
For North Fair Oaks’ older homes, we often recommend systems with variable-speed blowers that distribute heat more evenly through existing ductwork. These units run quieter, maintain more consistent temperatures, and use less energy than standard single-speed models—particularly important in homes where family members have different comfort preferences.
Furnace installation in North Fair Oaks typically ranges from $3,000 to $8,000, depending on the system type and complexity of your installation. Basic replacements using existing connections cost less, while complete system upgrades with ductwork modifications cost more.
The final price depends on your home’s specific needs—square footage, insulation levels, ductwork condition, and the efficiency level you choose. High-efficiency systems cost more upfront but qualify for rebates and save money long-term through lower utility bills.
We provide detailed, written estimates that break down all costs clearly. No hidden fees, no surprise charges after we start work—you’ll know exactly what you’re paying before we begin.
The right furnace size depends on your home’s specific characteristics, not just square footage. We use Manual J load calculations that consider your home’s insulation, ductwork, windows, orientation, and North Fair Oaks’ climate zone requirements.
An oversized furnace cycles on and off too frequently, wasting energy and failing to remove humidity properly. An undersized system runs constantly, struggling to maintain comfortable temperatures and wearing out prematurely.
Our technicians measure and calculate the precise BTU capacity your home needs for efficient heating. This scientific approach ensures optimal comfort, energy efficiency, and equipment longevity—not guesswork based on what the previous system happened to be.
Most furnace installations in North Fair Oaks take 4-8 hours for standard replacements using existing connections. Complete system installations with new ductwork or electrical upgrades typically require 1-2 days.
The timeline depends on several factors: permit approval, equipment availability, ductwork modifications needed, and any electrical upgrades required for newer systems. We schedule installations to minimize disruption to your daily routine.
We always ensure your home maintains some heating during installation, so you’re never left completely without comfort while work is in progress. If unexpected issues arise, we’ll explain what’s needed and adjust the timeline accordingly—no surprises, just honest communication about what it takes to do the job right.
Common signs include frequent repairs, rising energy bills, and uneven heating throughout your home. If your furnace is over 15-20 years old and requiring multiple service calls each year, replacement often makes more financial sense than continued repairs.
Other indicators include strange noises, difficulty maintaining comfortable temperatures, or poor air quality. In North Fair Oaks’ coastal climate, older systems often struggle with humidity control, leading to comfort issues even when temperatures seem right.
Rising utility bills despite normal usage patterns usually indicate declining efficiency. Modern furnaces use 30-40% less energy than systems from the 1990s, so replacement can actually pay for itself through energy savings over time.
Yes, we handle all permit applications and inspections required for furnace installation in San Mateo County. This includes submitting plans, scheduling inspections, and ensuring your installation meets all local building codes.
Proper permits protect you by ensuring the work meets safety standards and won’t cause issues when you sell your home. Unpermitted work can create liability problems and complicate future sales or refinancing.
We’re familiar with San Mateo County’s specific requirements and have established relationships with local inspectors. This means faster permit processing and smoother inspections—details you shouldn’t have to manage when you’re investing in your home’s comfort system.
