What we fix
A new furnace is a 15 to 20 year decision, and in NEPA it's the difference between a warm house and a cold one for five months a year. We install high-efficiency gas and oil furnaces from every major brand, and we size each one to your home so you're not paying to heat air you don't use.
Before we quote a system, we look at your home the way it actually is: square footage, insulation, windows, ductwork, and how you use each room. An oversized furnace short-cycles and wears out early. An undersized one runs constantly and never quite keeps up. We get the sizing right the first time.
We've been installing heating systems in Wilkes-Barre homes since 1921. We'll haul out the old unit, install the new one to code, set up your thermostat, and walk you through how it works before we leave. And if you ever have a question, you're calling a family business that answers the phone, not a call center.
Fall is the right time to plan a replacement, before your old furnace quits in the middle of a cold snap and forces a rushed decision. If your current unit is limping through another season, we can assess it now and lay out your options while there's no pressure and no emergency.
A high-efficiency furnace runs quieter, heats more evenly, and can noticeably lower your bills over a NEPA winter. We'll walk you through the efficiency ratings so you can weigh the upfront cost against what you save every month, and we offer financing so the right system is within reach.
Straight answers
Frequently asked questions
How much does a new furnace cost to install?
It depends on the size of your home, the efficiency level you choose, and whether any ductwork needs work. We give you a firm, itemized quote before any work starts, and we offer financing so a new system doesn't have to be a lump-sum hit.
How long does a furnace installation take?
Most residential furnace replacements are done in a single day. If we're also adjusting ductwork or upgrading a gas line, it may run a little longer, and we'll tell you that up front.
What size furnace do I need?
The right size comes from a load calculation, not a guess. We factor in your home's square footage, insulation, windows, and layout. Bigger is not better: an oversized furnace cycles on and off too often and wears out faster.
Should I repair or replace my furnace?
If your furnace is over 15 years old, needs a major repair, or your heating bills keep climbing, replacement usually makes more sense. We'll give you an honest assessment and never push a new system you don't need.
Do you offer financing on a new furnace?
Yes. A new furnace is a big purchase, so we offer financing that lets you spread the cost out instead of paying all at once. We'll go over what's available when we quote your system.
When is the best time to replace a furnace?
Fall or late summer, before heating season. Replacing on your own schedule beats an emergency replacement in January, gives you time to choose the right system, and means installers aren't stretched thin by the winter rush.
