A furnace is only half the system. The other half is the ductwork, and it's the half most installs get wrong. A good furnace on bad ducts gives you a house that is still cold at the far end and a unit that works harder than it should.
Call and describe what it is doing. We'll tell you which one makes sense, including when the answer is repair the one you have.
(845) 853-6012We look at the ducts during the estimate, not after the furnace is in. Undersized returns, crushed flex runs and long uninsulated trunks in a cold attic are common in this area and they all cost you heat. Where the ducts need work we price it as a separate line so you can see exactly what it buys.
Furnace capacity, blower setting and static pressure all have to line up. We measure instead of guessing, because an oversized furnace on undersized ducts is noisy, inefficient and short-lived. The estimate shows what the house needs and what we're proposing to put in.
Venting is where furnace installs go wrong quietly. We confirm the flue, the combustion air and the condensate path for the specific unit going in, and we combustion-test the finished job. If the existing venting can't support the new furnace, you hear it from us before the work starts.
We'll tell you when a repair is the better call. A ten-year-old furnace with a failed igniter is a repair. A twenty-year-old furnace with a cracked heat exchanger isn't, and continuing to run it is a safety problem, not just a money problem.
New unit, existing ducts checked and corrected where needed.
Leaks, crushed runs and undersized returns fixed properly.
Cleaning the system, including the returns and the blower compartment.
No-heat calls, annual service and repairs on existing equipment.
We install and service this equipment. If you already own a different brand, we still repair and service it. Call the office and describe what you have.
We run emergency crews for plumbing, heating, septic and water treatment. Call and a dispatcher confirms your arrival window. We won't tell you an hour we can't keep.
Furnace replacement is a major purchase. We offer financing that spreads it over time. Ask for the payment terms with your estimate so you can weigh it against another repair.
Based in Lake Katrine, NY. These are the towns our trucks cover every week.
A straight replacement is usually a day. If the ductwork needs real correction, or the venting has to change, plan on longer. The estimate will tell you which one you're getting.
We would rather supply the equipment, because our warranty and our certification sit on equipment we sourced. If you already have a unit, call the office and we'll talk it through rather than just saying no.
Probably not. Twelve years is mid-life for a furnace. We'll repair it and tell you what to watch for. Replacement only makes sense when the repair cost, the age and the safety picture all point the same way.
Free estimate, a straight diagnosis, and a crew that shows up when we say we will.
