Common furnace installation faults in Oakland homes
- The furnace is 20-some years old and I am waiting for it to die End of service life, parts availability and planned replacement
- A tech told me the heat exchanger is cracked Cracked heat exchanger, combustion safety, replacement rather than repair
- It kicks on and off every few minutes and never catches up Oversized furnace or short cycling from airflow and sizing problems
- The upstairs bedrooms stay cold no matter what I set it to Undersized equipment, duct and return air problems, poor distribution
- We have already paid for two big repairs this winter Repeat failures on aging parts, repair cost stacking toward replacement
Whether you call it furnace installation, furnace replacement or heater installation, the work is identical and so is the quote you approve first.

How long does a furnace installation take?
Most straight swaps in a basement or closet are a one-day job. If venting, gas piping or ductwork has to change, or we are moving the unit, plan on two days. We tell you which one you are looking at before we start.
How do you decide what size furnace my home needs?
We measure the house and calculate the heat load from square footage, insulation, windows and duct capacity. We do not simply match the BTU rating on the old unit, because a lot of older furnaces were oversized and short cycled for years.
Is a high-efficiency furnace worth it in my house?
Sometimes. High-efficiency units vent through PVC and need a condensate drain, which is easy in some basements and awkward in others. We look at your venting route and drainage first, then tell you honestly whether the upgrade fits your home.
Should I repair my old furnace or replace it?
If the heat exchanger is cracked, replacement is the answer. Otherwise we weigh the age of the unit, whether parts are still made, and how many repairs you have paid for recently, then lay out both options so you choose.
How soon can you get to my house in Oakland?
Call us and we will give you a real window rather than a guess. Same-day visits are often possible in Oakland, though July heat waves and the first hard freeze of the winter fill the calendar quickly, so earlier in the day is better. If you smell gas or a carbon monoxide alarm is sounding, leave the house first, call 911 or your gas utility from outside, then call us.
How it works
- Step 1
Tell us the symptom
Call or fill in the quote form. We ask what changed, when it started, and what the thermostat reads. That short conversation tells us whether you need a visit today or tomorrow morning.
- Step 2
We diagnose on site
A technician checks the thermostat, the electrical side, airflow through the filter and ducts, and the equipment itself. We find the actual cause instead of swapping parts and hoping the noise goes away.
- Step 3
You decide before we work
We explain what failed, what the repair involves, and what we would do if it were our own house. Nothing gets replaced until you say go. Then we test the system before leaving.

Why homeowners call us
- Old houses and new onesWe are used to century-old homes with retrofitted ductwork and 1970s subdivisions with original returns. Tight crawl spaces, low basement headroom and odd attic runs are normal parts of the day for us, not surprises that stall the job.
- Built for the swingsHumid summers push AC systems hard and January freezes expose weak igniters and cracked flues. We repair for both extremes across the region, so the fix holds when the weather turns instead of failing the first hard week.
- Air conditioning and heating bothAir conditioner repair in July, heating repair in January, and the IAQ and airflow problems that hide in between. One crew that knows how your cooling and heating share the same blower and the same duct system.
- Plain talk, no pressureWe tell you when a repair makes sense and when replacement is the honest answer. No scare tactics about your BTU load, no upsell scripts. You get the condition of the system and a clear next step.
- All major brands, gas & electricEvery major HVAC brand, gas and electric, handled by an independent crew.
- Straight answersIf a system is not worth repairing, we say so, often right on the phone.
