"We worked with Stephen following a failure of our AC unit, which had caused some water damage in the walls and ceiling below the HVAC unit. During that remediation project, we worked with several other contractors (e.g., drywalling, painting, etc.) and Stephen was, hands down, the most professional and pleasant of the bunch. He was transparent and fair in his pricing, was responsive to our concerns and our schedule, and was a a real pro when it came to explaining the issues and the associated fixes and fees. Stephen even took our calls with follow up questions while he was on a hiking trip out of state. He was a breath of fresh air following our experience with the first HVAC contractor we worked with on the same project. That contractor charged more than they initially claimed they would, and didn't really fix the issue. We brought Stephen in to diagnose and address the issues that they missed, and he caught every one of them. Our system is back up and running like it was before the failure. Stephen's got our HVAC business as long as he's doing it. I can't recommend him highly enough."

"We called some of the big HVAC companies in the area that market with big adverts on TV and we felt we were getting taken for a big gouge. I had used HomeAdvisor for my work before and thought i would give it a go. I put my job up and Cool Air for You was interested, so I submitted it (they were the 2nd interested). Vadim called to schedule an appointment for him to come out. He said he could be there the next day. With only a 1hour window! Big guys were giving us 4 hour windows. He arrived well within his window. We were not ready to repair, as the guy we had come out and do a diagnostic from a big CO. Told us it would be a band aid, and replacing the complete unit was the way to go. 3ton unit for $15k?! We had to shop! Vadim and Cool Air for You felt he could get the A/C unit working. He took a look and fixed it in 30 minutes for far, far less cost than the big companies. Professional service. I felt like he cared. He gave us tips others haven't. Genuine guy. Hire him, we will again. Thank you! à ¡à ¿à °à à ¸à ±à ¾! Ð¡Ð¿Ð°Ñ Ð¸Ð±Ð¾"

"I am 64 years old, have owned, fixed up, 6-7 properties. I have also had Sales teams work for me. Javier Cano represents all the quality, honesty, and (take the extra steps) technicians you want to hire. He gave an honest first Quote, lower than others and lower than the other guys ( 2nd quote) There were no hidden fees, the quote listed price parts, labor, and was clearly transparent. We replaced my 88 years old Mother-in Laws furnace and Javier went above and beyond helping her with every question and concern, including Thermostat tutorial. He replaced to a new location the Thermostat and helped her with her water heater, no charge. Cano Heating was everything you hope for when you hire someone. Please consider hiring him, he does not have the overhead or expenses the Big guys have, but he passes the difference to the customer. I used 3 quotes using the same Furnace Brand. Javier saved me from $400-600 with quality work. Thank you."

"My husband and I recently installed AC in our San Diego house. If youâ re a longtime local, you know how necessary it is these days. We struggled through the last few years with portable units which we installed in all our bedrooms, but they were bulky and loud. About 2 years ago, we started getting quotes. Every quote was between $12,000-$15,000. It was really shocking to learn how expensive air conditioning is. We were later told by a friend that the high cost is partly due to demand. We decided to save up money for it, and continued asking friends and neighbors for referrals. Finally, we were referred to Ulises Castaneda at Heating and Cooling Aid. This is Ulises' own company, and while heâ s small, heâ s extremely professional. He came out and explained why our house was not a one-size fits all solution, and recommended a mini-split system. We live in a canyon, and our house is not on flat ground all around. And the best part was his price was very competitive. We scheduled the job and over the course of 2 days they installed the system. He took care of the permits, and inspections. It was very easy. They also cleaned everything up well, and it was hard to tell they had been here. The system they installed is manufactured by Daikin, and it is unobtrusive, and very quiet. We are extremely happy with the outcome, our sleep has been fantastic, and we can highly recommend Ulises and his team."

"My new water heater is really working perfect now thanks to excellent service provided by SO CAL Boiler service. I found this contract from home advisor randomly and at beginning I didn t expect too much if I could do business with any new contract without any recommendation from friends. But I still want to give it a try. I got quick response from SO CAL Boiler service and with very reasonable cost quotation just my request released to web sites. The options provided by SO CAL Boiler are very flexible. So I got the brand of water heater that I preferred and SO CAL Boiler offered very timing installation service after immediate inspection . Plumbing work was carefully done by The technician. And scrutinized with long time pressure test. Now our family got brand new water heater and vey Happy and satisfying the service from SO CAL Boiler service!"

"Having had 2 previous contractors, Palm Construction was the 3rd & final contractor that completed my project in a timely manner by doing a full kitchen & bath remodel. They also installed a HVAC system, redid all the plumbing, had my house re-painted, had my deck reinforced and did an earthquake retro-fit. They did exceptional work in a very professional manner. The workers were very friendly and cleaned up at the end of every day, and when asked to do something, they did it without hesitation. I would also like to mention the tile work done in my bathroom was done with detail and precision and it turned out beautiful! Yes, I went through a lot of headaches and frustration with the previous contractors since the work started last November but when Palm Construction took over the job, Ken & Jacob made sure things kept moving to get the project done! I couldn't be more happier the way everything turned out."

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a furnace?
+
What is a furnace?
A furnace generates and distributes heated air throughout your home. A vital part of the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system—though it does not cool air—you activate a furnace when you set or adjust the temperature in a room using the thermostat. Furnaces can run off natural gas, oil, electric, or propane.
How long does a furnace last?
+
How long does a furnace last?
The average gas furnace lasts 15 to 20 years, though some electric furnaces can last 30 years or more.
- Gas furnace: 15–20 years
- Electric furnace: 20–30 years
- Oil furnace: 15–20 years
In addition to furnace type, your unit’s lifespan also depends on its size and the heating system you have—two-stage furnaces are more efficient and less likely to break than single-stage furnaces.
Having a reputable HVAC technician perform annual furnace maintenance and inspections can help ensure you get the most out of your unit. And, as always, change your filters regularly—a dirty filter can block airflow and overwork the motor.
How often should you change your furnace filter?
+
How often should you change your furnace filter?
You should change your furnace filter every one to three months to help maintain air quality, keep energy costs in check, and extend your unit’s lifespan. If people in your home have dust or pet dander allergies, you may consider changing your filters more regularly. Looking for an even simpler guideline? If the filter is dirty, replace it.
How much does a new furnace cost?
+
How much does a new furnace cost?
The average cost of a furnace unit is $2,300 to $7,200, plus $150 to $500 per hour for installation. Furnace replacement prices depend on the type of furnace you need, its size, and local labor costs.
- Gas: $3,800–$10,000
- Electric: $2,000–$7,000
- Oil: $6,750–$10,000
- Mini-Split: $2,000–$15,000
- Geothermal: $4,000–$17,000
If your furnace installation requires new gas lines or additional ductwork, add $250 to $800 for the gas lines and $3,00 to $5000 on average for the ductwork to your overall project costs.
