Most heaters in Tucson don’t get used as much as the AC does, but after 15 years or so they still wear down and start giving you problems right when the first cold snap hits.

We’ve installed just about every kind of furnace and heat pump out there and we’ll help you find the right one for your home without any sales pitch. Call or schedule online for your free estimate!
Signs It’s Time for a New Heater
Although plenty of heating problems can be taken care of with a simple repair, there’s a point where putting more money into an old unit doesn’t make sense anymore. If you’re noticing a few of these then it’s worth getting a free estimate:
- The unit is over 15 years old
- You’ve needed more than one repair in a season
- Some rooms never warm up no matter what the thermostat says
- Gas or electric bills keep going up every winter
- The heater makes loud banging or rattling noises when it starts
- There’s a crack in the heat exchanger
If you’re not sure where yours falls just give us a call and we’ll give you a straight answer. You can also check out our heating repair page to see what all we fix.
Repair or Replace Your Heater?
Typically we look at how old the unit is and how much the repair will cost compared to the price of installing a new one. Getting a new system can actually save you money over time since the modern systems use way less energy. We will give you a list of options to choose from and let you make the decision without pushing you either way.
Choosing a New Heating System for Your Tucson Home
Getting the size right matters more than most people think because a system that’s too big will short cycle off and on all night and wear the system down early. Types of heating systems we install include:
- Gas furnaces
- Heat pumps
- Ductless mini splits
A lot of Tucson homeowners have converted to a heat pump since our winters are pretty mild and it does heating and cooling. If you’re thinking about a mini split for one part of the house then see our ductless HVAC page for more info.
Our Heating Installation Process
We can usually get your new heater installed in just two visits, the first being our estimate when we look at the home and current system. We’ll go over square footage and more to give you a list of options and once you approve one that price doesn’t change.
Installation day comes next and that’s when we haul away the old unit and put in a new one. We do rigorous testing to make sure everything works and can pair it with a smart thermostat if you want. Most furnace installations in Tucson are done in about a day and if your ducts need some work then our duct repair team can handle it at the same time.

Tucson Heating Installation FAQs
How long does it take to install a new furnace?
Most installs are done in one day. If we’re switching you from a furnace to a heat pump or the ducts need work it can take a little longer, and we’ll let you know ahead of time.
Should I get a gas furnace or a heat pump?
Heat pumps work great in Tucson since the winters are mild, but if you already have a gas line a furnace can make more sense. We’ll go over both with you during the estimate.
What happens to my old heater?
We take care of it for you as part of the install, so you don’t have to deal with hauling it off.
Should I replace my AC at the same time?
If your AC is around the same age as your heater it’s worth thinking about since they work together. When we take a look at the system we’ll give you our honest feedback.
