Your furnace installation includes everything needed for safe, efficient operation. We handle permit applications, removal and disposal of your old system, all necessary materials and connections, and thorough testing to ensure everything works perfectly.
For Highlands homeowners, we pay special attention to California’s earthquake safety requirements, including proper seismic strapping and secure mounting. Your installation meets all Title 24 efficiency standards, ensuring you get the energy savings and performance you expect.

Furnace installation in Highlands typically ranges from $5,000 to $9,500 for a complete system, including the unit and professional installation. The exact cost depends on your home’s size, the efficiency level you choose, and any additional work needed like ductwork modifications or electrical upgrades.
Higher-efficiency units cost more upfront but save money on energy bills over time. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs, so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Many homeowners find that financing options make the investment more manageable while still getting the energy savings immediately.
Remember that California requires high-efficiency systems that meet Title 24 standards, which actually benefits you with lower operating costs and better performance than older, less efficient models.
Furnace sizing depends on several factors specific to your home: square footage, ceiling height, insulation quality, number of windows, and how well your home is sealed against air leaks. In Highlands’ mild climate, many homes need less heating capacity than you might expect.
We perform detailed calculations to determine the right size. An oversized furnace cycles on and off too frequently, wasting energy and creating uneven temperatures. An undersized unit runs constantly and can’t maintain comfortable temperatures during colder periods.
Our technicians measure your home, assess insulation levels, and consider factors like sun exposure and local weather patterns. This ensures your new furnace provides consistent comfort without wasting energy or driving up your utility bills.
Most furnace installations in Highlands take 6-10 hours for a straightforward replacement where we’re installing the same type of system in the same location. This includes removing your old furnace, installing the new unit, making all connections, and testing everything thoroughly.
More complex installations can take 1-2 days, especially if we need to modify ductwork, upgrade electrical systems, or relocate the unit. We’ll give you a clear timeline during your estimate so you can plan accordingly.

During your consultation, we’ll explain the differences between brands and models, warranty coverage, and expected lifespan. Our goal is helping you choose a system that provides reliable comfort and energy savings for many years, regardless of which manufacturer makes it.

Permit costs typically range from $100-$400 depending on the specific requirements for your installation. This cost is included in our written estimates, so there are no surprises. We schedule all required inspections and make sure everything passes before considering the job complete.
