Your new furnace should heat every room evenly without driving up your energy bills. When it’s working right, you don’t think about it – you just stay comfortable all winter long.
A properly installed high-efficiency furnace means no more cold spots in your South San Francisco home. No more wondering if your system will quit during those chilly Bay Area nights. No more surprise energy bills that make you question what went wrong.
You get reliable heat when you need it, consistent temperatures throughout your home, and the peace of mind that comes with knowing your system was installed right the first time. That’s what we deliver – furnace installation that actually solves your heating problems for years to come.
We’ve been fixing and installing furnaces in South San Francisco since 1985. What started as a father’s business became a family legacy when Ramiro took over in 2006, bringing the same commitment to quality service that built our reputation.
We understand South San Francisco’s unique heating challenges better than companies that just pass through. Our technicians aren’t just trained – they’re experienced with the specific issues that affect homes here, from coastal humidity to the quirks of older housing stock.
You’ll work with the same local team that’s been taking care of your neighbors for four decades. We offer senior and military discounts because we believe in supporting the people who’ve supported our community.
We start with an honest assessment of your home’s heating needs. No pressure, no upselling – just a clear evaluation of what size and type of furnace will actually work best for your South San Francisco home and budget.
Next comes removal of your old system and preparation for the new installation. We handle all the technical details – gas line connections, electrical work, ductwork modifications, and proper venting. Our technicians carry comprehensive parts inventory, so we’re not making multiple trips or leaving you waiting.
Finally, we test everything thoroughly and walk you through your new system. You’ll understand how it works, what to expect for maintenance, and how to get the most efficiency from your investment. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’re paying with no hidden fees or surprise charges.

Your furnace installation includes everything needed for reliable operation – from proper sizing calculations to code-compliant installation. We work with high-efficiency gas furnaces that are designed to handle South San Francisco’s climate while keeping your energy costs reasonable.
Modern furnaces we install typically achieve 90-95% efficiency ratings, meaning more of your energy dollar goes toward heating your home instead of waste. These systems include smart thermostat compatibility, variable-speed blowers for quieter operation, and advanced heat exchangers that last longer than older designs.
South San Francisco’s coastal location means your furnace needs to handle humidity and salt air exposure. We select equipment that’s built for these conditions and install with proper ventilation and corrosion-resistant components. Your system comes with manufacturer warranties, and we stand behind our installation work with ongoing service support.
Furnace installation costs in South San Francisco typically range from $3,000 to $6,900 for a complete high-efficiency gas system, depending on your home’s size and specific requirements. The final price includes the furnace unit, installation labor, permits, and any necessary ductwork modifications.
Several factors affect your total cost: the size of furnace needed for your square footage, efficiency rating you choose, complexity of installation, and whether existing gas lines and electrical connections need updates. We provide upfront pricing before starting work, so you know exactly what you’re paying with no hidden fees.
Seniors and military members receive a 15% discount on all services. We also help you understand any available rebates or tax credits for high-efficiency equipment that can reduce your overall investment.
Most furnace installations in South San Francisco are completed in one day, typically taking 4-8 hours depending on the complexity of your specific installation. Straightforward replacements where existing gas lines and ductwork are in good condition usually finish faster.
Installation time increases if we need to modify ductwork, upgrade electrical connections, or install new gas lines. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during our initial assessment so you can plan accordingly. Our technicians arrive with comprehensive parts inventory to avoid delays from missing components.
If unexpected issues arise during installation – like discovering ductwork problems or code compliance needs – we’ll explain what’s needed and get your approval before proceeding. We don’t leave jobs half-finished or force you to wait days for completion.
Furnace sizing depends on your home’s square footage, insulation quality, ceiling height, and South San Francisco’s specific climate conditions. A properly sized furnace is crucial – too small and it won’t heat effectively, too large and it cycles on and off inefficiently.
We perform load calculations that consider your home’s heat loss characteristics, not just square footage. This includes factors like window types, insulation levels, air leakage, and how South San Francisco’s coastal climate affects heating demands. Most homes need 30-60 BTUs per square foot, but proper calculation is essential.
Oversized furnaces are actually problematic because they short-cycle, leading to uneven heating, higher energy costs, and premature wear. We size equipment correctly the first time, ensuring efficient operation and consistent comfort throughout your home.
If your furnace is over 15 years old and needing frequent repairs, replacement usually makes more financial sense than continued repairs. Age isn’t the only factor – we also consider repair frequency, energy efficiency, and total cost of ownership.
A good rule is the 50% rule: if repair costs exceed 50% of a new furnace’s price, replacement is typically the better choice. We also look at your current system’s efficiency rating. Older furnaces often operate at 60-80% efficiency while new systems achieve 90-95%, meaning significant energy savings.
We’ll give you honest advice about whether continued repairs make sense for your specific situation and budget. Sometimes a well-maintained older furnace has years of life left. Other times, replacement saves money immediately through lower energy bills and eliminates the stress of unexpected breakdowns.
Yes, we provide emergency furnace installation when your heating system fails completely and can’t be repaired. We understand that a broken furnace in winter isn’t just an inconvenience – it’s a safety concern, especially for seniors and families with young children.
Our emergency service is available 24/7 with a goal of responding within two hours. We carry emergency repair supplies and have access to after-hours parts suppliers when needed. If your system can’t be repaired, we can often complete emergency installation within 24-48 hours.
Emergency installations focus on getting your heat restored quickly while maintaining proper safety and code compliance. We stock common furnace sizes and can expedite delivery of specific equipment when needed. There’s no premium pricing for emergency service – that’s what neighbors do for each other.
We install major furnace brands including Carrier, Bryant, Rheem, Goodman, and American Standard – all proven performers in South San Francisco’s coastal climate. We select equipment based on your specific needs and budget rather than pushing one particular brand.
Different brands offer various efficiency levels, warranty terms, and features. High-efficiency condensing furnaces from these manufacturers typically achieve 90-95% AFUE ratings and include advanced features like variable-speed blowers and smart thermostat compatibility. We’ll explain the differences and help you choose what makes sense for your situation.
All equipment we install comes with manufacturer warranties, and we stand behind our installation work. We also service what we install, so you have ongoing support from the same local team that did your installation. Our experience with these brands in South San Francisco conditions means we know which models perform best long-term.
