Wondering when it’s time to call heating installers for a furnace replacement? Here are some of the most common signs you need to upgrade your furnace.
Furnaces, on average, are built to last between fifteen and twenty years. After ten years, their efficiency starts to decline, especially if they haven’t been well-maintained. If your furnace is older than ten years and needs repairs, it’s worth considering whether a new unit might save you money in the long run.
No matter how old the furnace is, if it keeps breaking down and has frequent, costly problems, it’ll add up fast, especially if major repairs are required. Replacing the furnace will allow you to put your money toward the new system instead.
Older or malfunctioning heaters use more energy as they struggle to meet your heating demands. The more energy they use, the more money you end up paying per month on your energy bills. If your bills continue to rise whenever the heat’s on, it might be time to upgrade to a new heat pump or efficient furnace.
Your furnace needs to safely heat your house. If it’s not working or if it’s unsafe, replacement is the right move. Your comfort, health, and safety are always our number one priority. If we believe you’re at risk of being without heat, or if there’s any danger to your property or family, we’ll let you know your options, so you can decide how you’d like to proceed.
If you’re worried about replacement costs, we provide financing options to make a new, safe furnace installation affordable on any budget.
These are the common considerations that go into heating and HVAC replacement in Santa Clarita.

New furnaces and heating systems come with a variety of functions, options, and technologies to make life easier, use less energy, and keep your home comfortable for you 24 hours a day. We’ll help you find the right system for your unique needs, considering factors like:
Southern California has a fairly mild winter climate, but that doesn’t change the fact that it gets cloudy, windy, and rainy for several months of the year. The relatively mild winters make the area ideal for either a central heating system or an energy-efficient heat pump.
Your heating system must be customized to suit your home, meaning we check:
These factors will help determine the ideal heater size, type, and output capabilities.
It may be possible to install a new furnace or AC without upgrading the entire system,
But in most cases, we recommend replacing the entire HVAC system at once to ensure compatibility.
Having the AC and heater put in at the same time will also save you money on installation costs, and you’ll be able to relax for a few years, knowing all you’ll need to worry about is scheduling annual maintenance to keep the system running at peak efficiency.
Furnace installation is a complex job that requires the utmost care. Our HVAC contractors in Santa Clarita are highly trained, licensed according to California law, and insured, and will take care to put your new furnace in with expert precision.
It’s never a good idea to install a new furnace on your own — it takes specialized knowledge and training to do it safely. You not only need to know how to put the furnace in, but you also need to know how to connect it to your electrical system, the thermostat, and your ductwork, without putting your household in danger of electrical hazards, fires, carbon monoxide poisoning, and more. A DIY installation will also void the warranty.

A new heating system will improve your home’s comfort, with consistent heat available at the touch of a button (or at the sound of your voice, if you have voice control options). New furnaces provide a variety of benefits, like:
Not sure whether you’re ready to move forward with a new heating system installation? We get it! A furnace is a big investment, and we want you to feel completely comfortable with your new purchase.

If you schedule an estimate with us, we’ll come by your house to check out your current setup and give you a professional price estimate, along with our recommendations for the best heating systems that’ll fit your home’s unique needs and your preferences.
If price is an issue, upgrading your heating system may cost less than you realize. Qualifying customers can get the furnace they need now and pay later, in smaller monthly payments. Rebates and tax incentives are also available in California if you buy an energy-efficient furnace or heat pump.
