furance installation In the greater sacramento area

For the past two decades, Big Mountain Heating & Air Conditioning has been the safest choice in the Sacramento area for furnace installation. Our trained and certified technicians serve residential clients with the highest quality service. Whether you are looking for a furnace for your new home or need to replace an existing unit, we are prepared to meet your heating needs.

Deciding Whether You Need a New Heater

When your furnace stops heating like it used to, the main decision you have to make is whether to repair or replace the system. Your furnace gradually becomes less efficient every year, even when it is well-maintained (although poorly maintained systems age faster). Additionally, the average lifespan of a furnace is 15 years, so if your heater is over 10 years old it may be more cost-efficient to get a replacement.

Whenever you get your furnace maintained or inspected by Big Mountain Air, our service technicians will be able to assess your options and offer multiple recommendations for you to choose from.

Choosing the Right System For Your Home

Our technicians make it easy to discuss what you want, without using technical jargon or trying to upsell you on things you don’t need. We will thoroughly assess your home to determine exactly you require. During this process, we measure the total floor space of your building as well as how many people inhabit the space. This is to ensure that your new furnace is appropriately sized for peak performance.

After determining the best course to meet your comfort needs, we will help you select the perfect heater for your home. Our team will provide you with all the information and technical advice necessary to make an informed decision.

The Installation Process

After your approval, installation can begin and we will be available to answer any questions. Once the unit is installed, we will thoroughly test your new furnace and its components. Our guarantee is that the technician will not leave your home until all of your heating needs are met.

Once the team has arrived and is ready to begin there are three main steps to completing your heater installation. 

1. Taking Out The Old Furnace

In the event that you’re replacing your old or broken furnace, it needs to be removed from the home before installation can begin. Disconnecting and separating the old furnace from all of the connections can take some time, but our team is up to the task. When the furnace can be taken out our team will make sure it is safely moved outside and eventually disposed of properly. 

Once the space is open the team can then clear or clean the area to make sure it is ready for the new unit. Many times this just means a quick sweep to push debris out of the way, but this is also a great time for the installers to evaluate any other connection concerns.

2. Attaching The New Furnace

The team will carefully transport the new unit inside, making sure to be cautious of the home and its belongings. The installers will position the furnace in the vacated area and make sure it is correctly in place – it may even be bolted to the floor. Next, the team must reconnect all the pieces to allow the system to work. The unit must be hooked up to the ventilation system via ductwork and the power source. Both gas and electric furnaces have some electric component that must be connected. 

3. Verifying Furnace Function

Our team at Big Mountain Air will never leave you until we’re sure the new installation works perfectly. We will test and measure the airflow of the system as well as the intake to make sure the unit is working. We also want to address any safety issues that may arise promptly so that we can fix them before we leave.

How Should You Prepare Your Home For The Installation?

While our experienced team doesn’t require anything that might inconvenience you there are a few simple things you can do in your home before they arrive that can speed up the process a lot. 

• Clear The Workspace – The area around the heater can be cleared of any personal items or debris. This will save time and keep any items out of the installers’ way to allow them to work more efficiently.
• Clear The Path To The Workspace – The path from the entrance to your home to wherever the heater is can be cleared of as many personal belongings as possible. Our team is very respectful and careful of your belongings, but the less they have to walk back and forth past the better for time and safety of your items.
• Have Touch-Up Paint Ready – In the event that your new thermostat or other pieces of the system reveal an unpainted wall it’s helpful to have touch-up paint that matches your home’s walls.

Financing Your New Furnace

The cost of a furnace installation depends on the price of the make and model as well as the cost of labor and materials needed to perform the installation properly. We understand that purchasing a completely new system can be a big decision, which is why we offer a selection of affordable financing options for our customers.
