Signs your heater is ready to retire
Not sure yet? Start with heating repair — we'll give you the honest verdict on-site.
It's 15–20 years old
Typical furnace lifespan. Past it, reliability drops and efficiency lags far behind modern equipment.
The heat exchanger is cracked
A cracked exchanger can leak carbon monoxide. It's a replace-now situation, not a patch job.
Repairs are back-to-back
Two significant repairs in two seasons is the classic tipping point toward new equipment.
Rooms heat unevenly
Often a sizing or duct problem the original installer baked in — replacement is the moment to fix it right.
You want off gas
Heat pumps heat and cool with one all-electric system — a popular move as LA electrifies, often with incentives.
Winter bills keep climbing
Old 80% AFUE furnaces send real money up the flue. Modern condensing units reach 95%+.
What's included in every heating installation
✓
Manual J load calculation — heating sized to the home, not the old nameplate.
✓
Gas and electric options — condensing furnaces, heat pumps, and dual-fuel compared side by side.
✓
Code, permit & inspection — venting, gas, condensate, and electrical done right and signed off.
✓
Duct check & balancing — because a new heater can't fix leaky ducts. See duct services.
✓
Commissioning & safety tests — combustion analysis or heat-pump performance verified before handoff.
✓
Haul-away & incentive guidance — old equipment recycled; current rebate programs flagged for you.
Warm in three steps
STEP 1
In-home assessment
We measure the home, review ducts, gas, and electrical, and ask how you actually live in the space.
STEP 2
Honest options
Furnace vs. heat pump vs. dual-fuel, explained with efficiency numbers and incentives — no pressure.
STEP 3
Install & commission
Installed to code, inspected by the city, tested through full cycles, and walked through with you.
Heating installation questions, answered
Should I install a furnace or a heat pump?+
In LA County's mild winters, heat pumps are often the smarter choice — one system heats and cools, and modern units are extremely efficient in our climate. A gas furnace can still make sense with existing gas infrastructure or specific preferences. We'll walk you through both honestly — or read our heat pump vs. furnace comparison.
What efficiency ratings should I look for?+
For gas furnaces, AFUE measures how much fuel becomes heat — modern condensing furnaces reach 95%+. For heat pumps, look at HSPF2 for heating and SEER2 for cooling. We'll explain what actually pays off in our climate versus what's marketing.
Are there incentives for high-efficiency heating?+
Often, yes — utility and state programs (like TECH Clean California) and federal tax credits periodically support heat pump and high-efficiency installations. We'll flag current programs you may qualify for during your assessment.
How long does a heating installation take?+
A straightforward furnace swap is typically one day. Furnace-to-heat-pump conversions may take one to two days depending on electrical and duct work. You'll get a clear timeline up front.
