Is your furnace making strange noises, failing to produce heat, or costing you too much on your energy bill? These are common signs that your system needs attention. Our technicians specialize in Furnace Repair for all makes and models of heating systems.
Common issues we address in East Los Angeles homes include:
- Problems with the thermostat calibration or wiring.
- Clogged air filters restricting airflow.
- Issues with the pilot light or ignition system.

We stock common parts to facilitate timely repairs whenever possible.
Furnace Installation & Replacement
There comes a time when repairing an old furnace becomes less cost-effective than replacing it. If your furnace is over 15-20 years old, requires frequent costly repairs, or is significantly inefficient, a new system may be the right choice.
When considering furnace replacement, we can help you explore your options. While natural gas furnaces have been a common choice, it's important to be aware of upcoming regulations. The California Air Resources Board has mandated that by 2030, most new furnaces sold must be zero-emission, effectively phasing out new natural gas furnace installations.
This makes zero-emission alternatives like Heat Pump systems an increasingly relevant and beneficial option for East Los Angeles homeowners. Heat pumps provide both efficient heating and cooling, offering a year-round climate control solution. We also install other compliant systems tailored to your needs.
Benefits of installing a new, energy-efficient heating system include:
- Lower energy bills due to improved efficiency.
- Enhanced comfort with more consistent heating.
- Reduced risk of breakdowns and costly repairs.
- Improved indoor air quality with better filtration capabilities.
- Quieter operation compared to older models.
- Potential eligibility for rebates and incentives for energy-efficient upgrades.
Our installation process includes proper sizing of the new unit for your home's specific needs, professional installation according to local codes, and testing to ensure optimal performance. We also offer financing options, including 0% financing, to help manage the investment in a new system.
Furnace Maintenance & Tune-Ups
Regular maintenance is the key to ensuring your heating system operates safely, efficiently, and reliably for years to come. Skipping annual tune-ups can lead to unexpected breakdowns, reduced efficiency, and a shortened system lifespan.
Our comprehensive Furnace Maintenance service typically includes:
- Cleaning or replacing air filters.
- Checking and cleaning burners and heat exchangers.
- Inspecting the ignition system or pilot light.
- Lubricating moving parts to reduce wear and tear.
- Checking electrical connections and voltage.
- Testing the thermostat for proper function.
- Checking safety controls and limit switches.
- Inspecting ductwork for leaks or blockages.
- Monitoring carbon monoxide levels for safety.
- Assessing overall system performance.
Routine tune-ups can help prevent costly repairs, improve energy efficiency, and provide peace of mind. Consider joining our Power Club for annual maintenance plans, discounts on repairs, and extended labor warranties.

Repair or Replace: Making the Right Choice
Deciding whether to repair your existing furnace or invest in a new one is a significant decision. Several factors play a role:
- Age of the System: Furnaces typically last 15-20 years. If your system is nearing the end of its lifespan, replacement is often more practical.
- Cost of Repair: If the cost of repair is a significant percentage (often cited as 50% or more) of the cost of a new unit, replacement is likely a better long-term investment. A common guideline is the "$5000 rule" - if the cost of repair multiplied by the age of the furnace in years exceeds $5000, replacement is generally recommended.
- Frequency of Repairs: If your furnace requires repairs every heating season, it indicates declining reliability and increasing overall cost of ownership.
- Energy Efficiency: Older furnaces are far less energy-efficient than modern ones, leading to higher utility bills. A new system can offer significant energy savings over its lifetime.
- Comfort & Performance: If your current system struggles to heat your home evenly or maintain a consistent temperature, a new, properly sized unit can dramatically improve comfort.
Our technicians can provide an honest assessment of your current system, explain the pros and cons of repair versus replacement based on your specific situation, and help you make an informed decision that's best for your comfort and budget.
Navigating the California Gas Furnace Ban
With the state's move towards electrification, it's important for East Los Angeles homeowners to understand the upcoming changes regarding natural gas furnaces. While existing gas furnaces are not being banned from use, the sale and installation of new natural gas furnaces are expected to be phased out by 2030.
This presents an opportunity to consider zero-emission alternatives when your current system needs replacement. Heat pumps are a leading option, offering high efficiency and the ability to both heat and cool your home using electricity. As experts in Heat Pump Installation and Ductless Mini Splits, we can guide you through the options and help you choose a system that meets future regulations while providing optimal comfort and efficiency. Upgrading sooner may also allow you to take advantage of current rebates and incentives.
