There comes a point when repairing your old furnace no longer makes financial or practical sense, and when that moment arrives, you need a team you can trust. ABT Plumbing has been serving Placer and Nevada Counties homeowners since 2000, and over the years, we have built our reputation on the same commitment to quality and honesty that we bring to every heating system we install. When we say we treat your home the way we would treat our own family’s home, we mean it, and our furnace replacement service is built around that same idea from the first phone call to the final walkthrough.
An aging gas furnace doesn’t just get less reliable. It gets more expensive to run, and it can quietly affect the air you and your family breathe every day. Here’s what our furnace replacement services can do for your home.
We also handle furnace repair and furnace maintenance, so if your system just needs a fix or a seasonal tune up rather than a full replacement, we will tell you that honestly instead of pushing you toward a new unit you do not need yet.
We built our process around one idea: you should never feel like you’re being talked into something, or left in the dark about cost. Here’s what working with us actually looks like.
We start by coming out to look at your current setup, your ductwork, and your home’s size and layout. Every home is different, and a proper gas furnace replacement starts with understanding yours.
Once we know what your home needs, we give you an exact price before any work begins. This ties directly into how we’ve always done business. Since the price isn’t based on how long the job takes, you’ll never worry about additional expenses showing up because we worked slowly or made an extra trip for parts.
Our technicians handle the installation itself, from proper venting and gas line connections to making sure your new unit is sized and set up correctly for your home. Installation quality matters as much as the equipment itself. A great furnace installed poorly will cause you problems for years.
Once the new furnace is in, we walk you through how it works, what maintenance it needs, and what’s covered under warranty. We also haul away your old furnace and dispose of it properly, so you don’t have to deal with it.
Your furnace replacement cost depends on your home and what it needs, so we inspect first and quote second. Here’s what goes into that price:
A larger home needs a furnace with more capacity to heat it evenly, and that affects both the equipment cost and the labor involved in installing it. We size every gas furnace to the actual square footage and layout of your home, not just the unit you had before, since a mismatched system is one of the fastest ways to end up with uneven heat and higher bills.
A higher efficiency gas furnace usually costs more upfront, but it can lower your monthly bills enough to make up the difference over time. We walk you through the options at different efficiency levels so you can decide what makes sense for your home and your budget, not what is easiest for us to sell.
Your furnace is only as good as the ductwork carrying the air through your home. If we find leaky, undersized, or poorly sealed ducts during our inspection, that gets factored into your quote, because installing a new furnace onto old, damaged ductwork undercuts the whole point of replacing it.
Some homes need updated venting, gas line work, or electrical connections to safely support a new furnace, especially if the home is older or the last furnace was installed years ago under different code requirements. We check for this during the assessment so any additional expenses are identified and included in your upfront pricing quote.
ABT Plumbing has been helping families in Placer and Nevada Counties replace aging furnaces since 2000, and we handle every job the same way: an honest in-home assessment, one clear price before any work begins, and an installation done right the first time. If your furnace has been struggling, running constantly, or just isn’t keeping up the way it used to, now is the time to get ahead of it. Call us at 530-886-8700 or fill out our contact form to schedule your free, no-obligation furnace replacement estimate. We’ll come take a look, walk you through your options, and give you a number you can trust.
Most gas furnace replacements are completed in a single day, though homes with more complex ductwork or electrical needs may take a bit longer. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during your in-home assessment.
The right size depends on your home’s square footage, layout, insulation, and ductwork, not just matching your old unit. We calculate this during our in-home inspection so your new furnace heats evenly without wasting energy.
Yes. Once your new furnace is installed, we haul away and dispose of your old unit properly, so you don’t have to deal with it.
Our technicians are experienced with a wide range of gas furnace brands and models. During your assessment, we’ll recommend options that fit your home and budget.
A good rule of thumb is the 50 percent rule: if the cost of a single repair exceeds 50 percent of what a new unit would cost, replacement is usually the better investment. Other factors that point toward replacement include a heating system that is more than 15 years old, recurring breakdowns, rising energy bills, and declining indoor comfort.
It depends on the age of the system, the cost of the needed repair, and the overall condition of the unit. We always provide an honest recommendation based on what we see, not on what generates the most revenue for us.
Yes. We require a homeowner or authorized adult to be present for the duration of the installation. At the end of the job, we will walk you through the operation of your new heating system, answer any questions, and make sure you are fully comfortable before we leave.
