The symptoms that lead here in Mountain View
- It kicks on, runs two minutes, shuts off, then starts again Short cycling from oversizing, failing limit switch or flame sensor
- A tech told us the heat exchanger is cracked Cracked heat exchanger, combustion safety, replacement territory
- Our furnace is old enough that parts take a week to find Obsolete control board or blower motor, end of service life
What we check and install along the way
A furnace swap is a good moment to fix what the old install got wrong. We look at the flue and venting, the gas line size, the condensate route on high-efficiency units, and the return air opening, since a starved return shortens the life of any furnace. We check duct connections at the plenum for leaks and loose transitions. New filter rack, new thermostat if the old one cannot talk to the new control board, and a fresh drain line where one is required.
How we decide replacement beats repair
We tell you what we find and let the numbers make the case. A cracked heat exchanger, a failed control board on a unit near the end of its service life, or a cabinet with heavy rust means replacement. A bad igniter, flame sensor or capacitor on an otherwise sound furnace means heating repair, and we will say so. Age matters, but so does repair history. Two service calls a season on the same unit usually points one direction. You get both options and the reasoning behind them.

How long does a furnace replacement take?
Most straightforward swaps are a single day. Attic installs, tight closets, venting changes or gas line work can push into a second day, and we will tell you which one you are looking at before we start.
Do I have to replace my AC at the same time?
No. A furnace and an air conditioner can be replaced separately. That said, if both are the same age and share a coil and blower, doing them together avoids paying for the same labor twice.
How soon can you get to my house in Mountain View?
Most Mountain View calls get a same-week slot, and no-cooling or no-heat calls move to the front of the schedule. During the first real heat stretch of summer the phone gets busy, so call early in the day if the house is already warming up. Tell us the make of the outdoor unit and whether the indoor blower is running, since that helps us bring the right parts on the first trip.
How it works
- Step 1
Tell us the symptom
Call or fill in the quote form. We ask what changed, when it started, and what the thermostat reads. That tells us whether to bring parts for a cooling fault or a heating fault.
- Step 2
We diagnose on site
A technician checks the thermostat, the electrical side, airflow through the filter and coil, refrigerant pressures, and the outdoor unit. You get told what failed and why, in plain words, before anything is replaced.
- Step 3
Repair and verify
We make the repair, then run the system and measure the results at the vents. If a part needs ordering, we say so and give you a realistic window instead of a vague promise.

Why homeowners call us
- Built for real valley heatWe work in areas where afternoons sit above 110 degrees and systems run for months without a break. That shapes how we size repairs, check capacitors and contactors, and judge whether a compressor is genuinely done.
- Attic and package unitsPlenty of homes across the region run attic air handlers or rooftop package units instead of a garage furnace and a side-yard condenser. We are used to the access, the duct runs, and the drain issues those setups bring.
- Dust and debris we expectAg dust, cottonwood fluff and grass clippings pack condenser coils and starve a system of airflow. We clean what we find and show you the difference, rather than adding refrigerant to a unit that just could not breathe.
- Heating too, not only ACFurnace repair, heat pump faults and no-heat calls get the same attention as summer work. Ignition problems, cracked or failing components and short cycling all get diagnosed before we recommend anything larger.
