Every furnace installation includes professional system sizing, complete equipment installation, and thorough testing of all components. We handle all necessary permits and ensure your installation meets current building codes and manufacturer specifications.
In Atherton’s Mediterranean climate, proper system sizing becomes critical. Your furnace needs to handle those occasional cold nights efficiently while avoiding the energy waste that comes from oversized equipment. We match your system capacity to your home’s actual needs, not what seems standard or what the previous system was.
We also focus on energy efficiency because many Atherton homeowners value environmental responsibility. Modern high-efficiency furnaces can significantly reduce your carbon footprint while lowering utility costs. Our eco-friendly approach means you get reliable heat that aligns with your environmental values.
Most furnace installations are completed in one day, typically taking 6-8 hours depending on the complexity of your home’s layout and ductwork condition. Larger homes or installations requiring ductwork modifications may take longer.
We schedule installations to minimize disruption to your daily routine. Our technicians arrive prepared with all necessary equipment and parts, so there are no delays waiting for materials. We also protect your home’s finishes and clean up thoroughly before leaving.
For homes with complex HVAC systems or custom ductwork, we’ll provide a more detailed timeline during our initial assessment. The key is proper planning—rushing an installation to save time often leads to problems later.
Furnace sizing depends on your home’s specific heating load, which we calculate using Manual J load calculations. This scientific approach considers your home’s square footage, insulation levels, number of windows, ceiling height, and ductwork condition.
Many Atherton homes range from 3,000 to 8,000+ square feet, but size alone doesn’t determine furnace capacity. A well-insulated 4,000 square foot home might need a smaller furnace than a poorly insulated 3,000 square foot home. Oversized furnaces waste energy and create comfort problems.
We measure everything during our assessment and provide exact sizing recommendations. This ensures your new furnace runs efficiently, maintains consistent temperatures, and delivers the energy savings you expect from modern equipment.
Furnace installation costs vary based on system type, home size, and installation complexity. A basic high-efficiency furnace installation typically ranges from $4,000 to $8,000, while premium systems with ductwork modifications can range from $8,000 to $15,000 or more.
Atherton homes often require custom solutions due to their size and architectural features. Factors affecting cost include the type of furnace (gas, electric, or heat pump), efficiency rating, ductwork condition, and any necessary electrical or gas line upgrades.
We provide free estimates that break down all costs clearly. Our transparent pricing means no hidden fees or surprise charges. We’ll explain different equipment options and help you choose the system that fits your budget and efficiency goals. Financing options are available for qualified customers.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency service when your heating system fails completely. We understand that in Atherton’s luxury homes, a heating emergency requires immediate attention, especially during cold weather.
Our emergency service includes the same quality workmanship and honest pricing as regular installations—no premium charges for nights, weekends, or holidays. We typically respond to emergency calls within 2-4 hours, and our technicians arrive prepared to assess your situation and provide solutions.
For emergency replacements, we can often install a new furnace within 24-48 hours, depending on equipment availability. We keep common furnace models in stock and have established relationships with suppliers to expedite delivery when needed.
We install high-quality furnaces from leading manufacturers including Carrier, Trane, Rheem, and other trusted brands known for reliability and efficiency. Our focus is on matching the right equipment to your specific needs rather than pushing any particular brand.
For Atherton homes, we typically recommend high-efficiency models with AFUE ratings of 90% or higher. These systems provide excellent performance while reducing energy costs and environmental impact. We’ll explain the differences between brands and efficiency levels so you can make an informed decision.
All furnaces we install come with manufacturer warranties, and we provide ongoing service and maintenance to keep your system running efficiently. We stock parts for the brands we install, ensuring quick service if repairs are ever needed.
Most furnaces last 15-20 years with proper maintenance, but Atherton’s mild Mediterranean climate can actually extend system life since furnaces don’t work as hard as they do in extreme climates. However, efficiency improvements in newer models often make replacement worthwhile before systems fail completely.
If your furnace is over 15 years old, frequently needs repairs, or your energy bills have increased significantly, replacement usually makes financial sense. Modern high-efficiency furnaces can reduce energy costs by 20-30% compared to older models while providing more consistent comfort.
We’ll honestly assess your current system’s condition and help you understand the long-term costs of continued repairs versus replacement. Sometimes a well-maintained furnace can provide several more years of reliable service, while other times immediate replacement is the smart choice.
