Furnace replacement done right the first time

Gas and electric furnace replacement sized to your actual house, vented safely and commissioned properly.

A furnace that has been limping through winters is a safety question as much as a comfort one. Cracked heat exchangers, failing inducer motors and corroded flue pipe do not get better on their own, and a Hill Country cold snap is a bad time to find out.

When it is time to replace, the equipment matters less than most people expect. Sizing, duct static pressure, venting and gas pressure are what determine whether the new furnace runs quietly for twenty years or short cycles itself to death in eight.

We do a load calculation on every replacement. Most homes here have a furnace one or two sizes too large, installed by someone matching whatever was there before. Right-sizing gives you longer run times, more even temperatures and lower bills.

Why it matters

What you get out of it.

Load calculated, not guessed

Room by room, based on your insulation, windows and orientation. We replace what your house needs, not a copy of what failed.

Venting inspected and corrected

Flue sizing, slope, clearances and combustion air get checked on every gas install. Combustion analysis before we leave.

Duct work addressed

A new furnace bolted to leaky, undersized duct will disappoint you. We measure static pressure and tell you what needs fixing.

Efficiency that pays here

A 96 percent modulating furnace makes sense in some homes and is wasted money in others. We tell you which one yours is.

Know the signs

When to make the call.

  • The furnace is fifteen years or older

    That is the point where repair costs climb and heat exchanger inspection becomes a yearly requirement, not a suggestion.

  • Rooms heat unevenly

    Chronic hot and cold rooms usually mean sizing or distribution problems that replacement is the right moment to solve.

  • Rust, soot or a cracked heat exchanger

    Non-negotiable. A cracked exchanger can put combustion gases into your living space, and we will red tag it.

  • It cycles on and off constantly

    Short cycling is the signature of an oversized furnace. It wears out equipment and never lets the house even out.

  • The bills keep climbing

    An 80 percent furnace fighting leaky duct wastes far more than the nameplate suggests.

No surprises

Exactly what the job includes.

  • Manual J style load calculation for correct capacity
  • Old equipment disconnected, removed and hauled away
  • New furnace set level with proper service clearance
  • Plenum transitions built and sealed, not taped and hoped
  • Gas line sized and leak tested, manifold pressure set to spec
  • Flue and combustion air verified against code and manufacturer instructions
  • Condensate handled and trapped correctly on high efficiency units
  • New thermostat wired and configured for the equipment staging
  • Combustion analysis and temperature rise documented at commissioning
  • Permit pulled where required, warranty registered on your behalf

How it goes

The process, start to finish.

  • Evaluate what you have

    We inspect the existing furnace, the flue, the duct and the electrical, and we test static pressure before quoting anything.

  • Calculate the load

    Square footage alone is not a load calculation. We measure the house so the new unit is the right size.

  • Quote clearly

    Equipment model, capacity, efficiency, what the install includes, permit and warranty terms. One page, one price.

  • Install in a day

    Most straight replacements are a single day. You will have heat that night.

  • Commission and document

    Temperature rise, gas pressure, combustion readings and airflow all recorded and left with you.

Straight answers

Furnace Replacement questions

How much does furnace replacement cost in Texas?

Most residential gas furnace replacements run between 4,000 and 8,500 dollars installed, depending on capacity, efficiency and how much duct or venting work goes with it. Electric furnaces and air handlers are usually lower. We quote a firm number after the evaluation.

How long does a furnace last?

Fifteen to twenty years for a gas furnace that has been maintained and correctly sized. Ours run less than in colder states, which helps, but Texas humidity is hard on the metal and the annual heat exchanger inspection matters.

Should I replace the AC at the same time?

If the outdoor unit is a similar age, replacing together is usually cheaper than doing it twice and gives you a matched, properly rated system. If your AC is much newer, we will fit the furnace to it rather than push you into equipment you do not need.

Do I need a permit?

It depends on the jurisdiction. Inside Boerne and San Antonio city limits, generally yes. In unincorporated Bandera County, often not. We handle the permit where one is required and tell you either way.

What size furnace does my house need?

The only honest answer comes from a load calculation. Rules of thumb based on square footage routinely oversize by 30 percent or more, which is why so many homes short cycle. We run the numbers before quoting.
