Furnace Installs Done Once, Done Right
A new furnace is a 15-to-20-year decision. Install it on the wrong size, undersized gas line, or sloppy ductwork and you'll feel it on every utility bill until you replace it again. We do it right the first time.
High-Efficiency Furnaces Sized for Your Home
Most undersized furnaces we replace were sized off the rated input of the existing furnace — even though the existing furnace was probably oversized to begin with. We do an actual heat-loss calculation that accounts for insulation, window orientation, ceiling height, and the wall framing on a 1962 East Mountain home that doesn't match a 2018 Westside build.
- 95%+ AFUE high-efficiency models — meaningful savings over 80% standard furnaces
- Two-stage and variable-speed options — quieter operation, more even heat
- Gas, electric, and heat pump installs — including dual-fuel for high-altitude communities
- All major brands — Carrier, Lennox, York, Goodman, Trane, Rheem, Bosch
- Proper venting and combustion air — code-compliant work, no shortcuts
Dual-Fuel Systems for High-Altitude New Mexico
For Cedar Crest, Sandia Park, and the higher-elevation East Mountain communities, dual-fuel (heat pump + gas furnace) often makes the most sense. Heat pump handles the shoulder seasons efficiently; the gas furnace takes over when the temperature drops below the heat pump's economic crossover point. We design the system right and program the thermostat so it actually works.

When to Replace
Replace the furnace if: it's 20+ years old, has a cracked heat exchanger, has had multiple major repairs in the last few years, or your gas bills are climbing year over year. If it's under 15 and a single component failed, repair almost always wins on cost.

Common Questions, Straight Answers
How much does a new furnace cost?
It varies based on home size, efficiency tier, fuel type, and whether the existing gas line and venting are adequate. We provide free in-home estimates with multiple options so you can compare honestly. No high-pressure sales.
How long does the install take?
Most furnace replacements are done in one day. If we're also addressing ductwork issues, gas-line upgrades, or combustion air, it can take 1–2 days. We'll set expectations clearly during the estimate.
Should I install AC at the same time?
If your AC is also aging, yes — replacing both as a matched system gives you efficiency, warranty alignment, and consistent equipment quality. We'll show you the numbers either way.
What about heat pumps?
Heat pumps are an increasingly good fit for Albuquerque metro homes — efficient cooling and efficient heating in mild climates. For higher-elevation East Mountain homes, dual-fuel systems (heat pump + gas furnace backup) often make more sense.
Are there any rebates or tax credits?
Yes — high-efficiency furnace installs often qualify for federal tax credits, manufacturer rebates, and sometimes utility rebates. We walk through what applies during the estimate without inflating expectations.
