Why Professional Replacement & Installation Matters for Your Home
Upgrading your home’s heating system is a significant investment that impacts your comfort for the next 15 to 20 years. We believe in transparency and precision, which is why our installation process goes beyond just "swapping out a box." When you partner with us, you benefit from a comprehensive approach to home climate control.
Our team focuses on the technical details that many others overlook:
Custom Ductwork Inspection:
We inspect your current distribution system to ensure your newly installed high-efficiency unit isn’t being throttled by poor airflow or hidden gaps.
High-Efficiency Ratings (AFUE):
We specialize in installing systems with high Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) ratings, which can convert up to 98% of fuel into usable heat for your home.
Whisper-Quiet Technology:
Modern furnaces are designed with variable-speed blowers that eliminate the loud "bang and roar" of older units, providing a steady, silent flow of warmth.
Smart Thermostat Integration:
We ensure your new furnace is fully compatible with the latest smart home technology, to control your comfort and monitor energy usage from your phone.
Local Code Compliance:
We handle all necessary permits and ensures every connection meets or exceeds local safety codes for gas piping and venting, giving you total peace of mind.
When to Consider a New Furnace
An older furnace can lead to costly repairs and dramatically higher energy bills. If your unit is over 15 years old, requires frequent attention, or struggles to heat evenly, it is time to explore a professional furnace replacement. Upgrading your system offers better efficiency and unparalleled peace of mind. We provide comprehensive hvac service assessments to determine the best path forward, often saving you money in the long run.
Expert Installation for Lasting Comfort
The quality of the installation is just as important as the quality of the furnace itself. Our certified technicians provide seamless furnace replacement service, correctly sizing and installing your new unit for optimal performance. We handle all makes and models, guaranteeing a perfect fit and efficient operation from day one. Proper sizing is crucial, which is why we perform a detailed heat loss calculation for every home.
Choosing the Right Heating Technology for Your Property
Not every home requires the same type of heating solution. During your free consultation, we help you navigate the various types of equipment available to ensure you aren't paying for power you don't need, or settling for a system that can't handle the peak of winter.
Gas Furnace Replacements
For most homes with existing natural gas lines, a gas furnace is the most popular choice. These units provide the fastest heating response and generally offer the lowest monthly operating costs during extreme cold snaps. We offer a variety of stages, from single-stage to modulating gas valves.
Electric Heating Solutions
In areas without gas access or for smaller footprints, electric furnaces are a reliable and safe alternative. They often have a lower upfront installation cost and require less frequent intensive maintenance than combustion-based systems.
Hybrid & Dual Fuel Systems
For the environmentally conscious homeowner looking for maximum versatility, we offer dual-fuel systems. These combine an electric heat pump with a gas furnace. The system switches between the two based on the outside temperature, ensuring you use the most cost-effective fuel source at any given moment.
The Importance of Manual J Load Calculations
Most HVAC contractors guess the size of the furnace based on square footage alone. At Chip & Dale Heating & Air Conditioning, we use the industry-standard Manual J Load Calculation. This takes into account your home’s insulation levels, window orientation, ceiling heights, and local climate data. An oversized furnace will "short cycle," wearing out the motor prematurely, while an undersized unit will run constantly without ever reaching the desired temperature. We get the math right the first time.
Priority Emergency Furnace Service
Heating emergencies don't keep business hours, and neither do we. Chip & Dale offers prompt emergency furnace service to address unexpected issues quickly. While we specialize in new installations, we understand the need for fast repairs. Trust our team to provide reliable heating service when you need it most, minimizing discomfort and potential damage. Our technicians are ready to respond quickly when you need urgent help with your heater or entire system.

Regular maintenance is essential for extending the life of your new unit and preventing the need for future emergency furnace service.

Investing in an annual check-up protects your investment and ensures system longevity
