Professional Heating Installation

Why It Matters.

Your heating system isn’t just about comfort, it’s about safety. Gas furnaces involve combustion, venting, and potential carbon monoxide risks, which is why professional installation by licensed technicians is essential. When you choose Climate Pros, you’re getting precise sizing through a Manual J load calculation that accounts for your home’s square footage, insulation levels, window efficiency, and Northern Nevada’s unique climate. An undersized furnace runs constantly and wears out prematurely, while an oversized system short-cycles, wastes energy, and creates temperature swings.

Safety is critical with gas heating systems. Our licensed technicians follow strict protocols for gas line connections, combustion air requirements, proper venting, and carbon monoxide prevention. We test every connection and ensure your system meets all safety codes. Correct installation also protects your manufacturer’s warranty. Northern Nevada’s high altitude and dramatic temperature swings present unique heating challenges, and we understand how to configure your system for optimal performance in our desert climate.

How We Do It

Our Heating System Installation Process.

At Climate Pros, we follow a proven process that guarantees your new heating system is perfectly sized, safely installed, and optimized for Northern Nevada winters. Here’s exactly what to expect when you choose us for your heating installation.

We start with a comprehensive in-home assessment at no cost to you. Our licensed technician will evaluate your existing heating system, inspect your ductwork and venting, assess your home’s insulation and air sealing, and perform a detailed Manual J heating load calculation. This engineering-based analysis considers your home’s square footage, ceiling height, insulation R-values, window efficiency, orientation, local climate data, and heating degree days to determine the exact heating capacity your home requires. We’ll also evaluate your fuel options such as natural gas availability, propane feasibility, or electric alternatives, to recommend the best solution for your situation.

 

Based on your heating load calculation and preferences, we’ll recommend the best heating system for your specific needs. We’ll guide you through the differences between gas furnaces, heat pumps, and electric systems, explain AFUE efficiency ratings in plain language, discuss the benefits of sealed combustion vs atmospheric venting, and help you understand the trade-offs between upfront cost and long-term savings. We work with all major brands and efficiency levels, from standard 80% AFUE furnaces to ultra-high-efficiency 98% units. Our goal is to find the right balance between your budget, comfort requirements, and energy savings goals.

We provide a complete, itemized quote covering all aspects of your installation: system equipment and installation, gas line work or modifications if needed, venting materials and installation, electrical connections, thermostat upgrades, permits and inspections, removal and disposal of your old system, and testing and commissioning. No hidden fees, no surprise charges. We’ll also walk you through flexible financing options with competitive rates and easy approval, help you identify all available rebates and tax credits, and ensure you understand exactly what you’re getting. The price we quote is the price you pay.

On installation day, our licensed, NATE-certified technicians arrive on time with all necessary equipment. We’ll safely remove your old heating system, install your new furnace or heat pump with precision, connect and test all gas line connections with leak detection, install proper venting, wire electrical connections to code, and integrate with your thermostat system. Most residential furnace installations are completed in one day. We protect your home throughout the process and leave your space clean. For gas systems, we perform comprehensive safety testing including combustion analysis, draft verification, and carbon monoxide checks.

Before we leave, we perform comprehensive system commissioning to verify proper gas pressure and combustion efficiency, airflow balance, thermostat operation, safety controls, and overall heating performance. We’ll walk you through your new system’s features, demonstrate proper thermostat programming, explain filter replacement schedules, and answer all your questions. We’ll register your warranty with the manufacturer, provide all documentation, and schedule your first annual maintenance visit if you choose a preventive care plan. You’ll have our direct contact information for any follow-up needs, and we stand behind our work with comprehensive installation warranties.

Energy-Efficient Heating Systems We Install

For Northern Nevada Homes.

Choosing the right heating system depends on your fuel availability, budget, and efficiency goals. Climate Pros installs a full range of heating solutions designed to handle the demands of Northern Nevada’s cold winter nights and temperature extremes.

Gas Furnaces

Gas furnaces remain the most popular heating choice for the Reno area, offering reliable performance and cost-effective operation. Modern models feature AFUE ratings from 80% to 98%, and we install both natural gas and propane systems.

High-Efficiency Furnaces

High-efficiency furnaces with AFUE ratings of 95%+ can reduce heating costs by 30-40%. Many qualify for utility rebates and federal tax credits, and energy savings typically exceed the additional upfront cost over 15-20 years.

Heat Pump Systems

Heat pumps provide both heating and cooling in a single system. Modern heat pumps work efficiently down to very low temperatures, though extremely cold nights may require backup electric heat.

Electric Furnaces

For homes without gas access, electric furnaces provide reliable heating with lower upfront costs. However, electricity is more expensive than gas for heating in Northern Nevada, resulting in higher operating costs.

We install and service all major brands, including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, American Standard, Bryant, and others. Our team will help you navigate brand options, warranty coverage, efficiency ratings, and feature differences to find the perfect fit for your home and budget.

Is it time to change?

Signs You Need A New Furnace.

Knowing when to repair and when to replace your heating system can save you money and prevent dangerous situations. Here are the clear indicators that it’s time to invest in a new furnace or heat pump installation.

Your unit is 15-20+ years old.

Furnaces typically last 15-20 years with proper maintenance. Once your system crosses the 15-year mark, efficiency declines, repairs become more frequent and expensive, and critical components like heat exchangers are more prone to failure. Even if your old furnace still runs, a new high-efficiency model will likely pay for itself through energy savings within 10 years while providing better comfort and safety.

Frequent breakdowns and costly repairs.

If you’re calling for furnace repairs multiple times per winter, or if a single repair estimate exceeds $1,500, replacement makes more financial sense. The industry rule of thumb: if repair costs exceed 50% of the price of a new system, and your furnace is over 10 years old, it’s time to replace.

Rising energy bills despite similar usage.

As furnaces age, their efficiency drops significantly. If your winter heating bills have been climbing year over year while your usage remains constant, your furnace is working harder to deliver the same heat. A new, efficient system can reduce your heating costs by 30-50%.

Uneven heating and cold spots.

If certain rooms never get warm, upstairs and downstairs temperatures vary dramatically, or you’re constantly adjusting the thermostat without achieving comfort, your furnace is likely undersized, failing, or suffering from ductwork problems. A properly sized new system with professional installation will deliver balanced, consistent warmth throughout your home.

Yellow pilot light or flame.

This is a serious safety warning. A healthy gas furnace pilot light or burner flame should be blue. A yellow or orange flame indicates incomplete combustion and potential carbon monoxide production. If you see a yellow flame, turn off your furnace immediately and call for service. A cracked heat exchanger, a common problem in aging furnaces, is often the culprit and typically requires system replacement.

Excessive dust, dryness, or humidity issues.

While some winter dryness is normal in Northern Nevada, excessive dust buildup, persistent dry air even with a humidifier, or musty odors when the heat runs can indicate that your furnace is no longer properly filtering or circulating air. This often signals blower problems or ductwork issues that may warrant system replacement.

Strange or loud noises.

Banging, popping, squealing, or grinding sounds indicate worn components, loose parts, or mechanical failure. While some noises can be repaired, persistent or multiple noise issues in an older furnace usually mean it’s approaching the end of its service life. Ignoring these sounds can lead to complete system failure at the worst possible time.

Cracked heat exchanger.

This is a critical safety issue. The heat exchanger separates combustion gases from the air that circulates through your home. A cracked heat exchanger can allow carbon monoxide to enter your living space, a very dangerous situation. Heat exchanger replacement is expensive and often not cost-effective on older furnaces. If your technician identifies a cracked heat exchanger, system replacement is almost always the safest and most economical choice.

Visible rust or corrosion.

Rust on your furnace cabinet, flue pipe, or around the base of the unit indicates moisture problems that can lead to serious failures. Corrosion in a heat exchanger compromises safety and efficiency. If you see significant rust, especially on high-efficiency furnaces with plastic PVC venting, it’s time for a professional evaluation and likely replacement.

If you’re experiencing any of these issues, Climate Pros offers free consultations to assess your system and provide honest recommendations. Sometimes a repair makes sense; other times, replacement is the safer, smarter investment. We’ll give you the facts you need to make the right decision for your home, budget, and family’s safety.
