Comfort begins with the whole space.
A heating installation should account for the rooms, the building, and your priorities. Whether you are replacing an older heater or conditioning a new space, we ask where the current setup falls short and what you want the new system to do differently.
Furnaces, ducted heat pumps, and ductless heating can be considered according to the property. We review the distribution system, controls, equipment location, and installation requirements together. Electric heating options can also be part of the conversation when you are planning a broader equipment change.

- Furnace, heat pump, and ductless options
- Distribution, controls, and installation access reviewed
Planning your service
An estimate should make the equipment and installation scope understandable. We will discuss what can stay, what needs to change, and what access is required. If your project includes remodeling or other electrical work, tell us early so the heating plan can be coordinated with the rest of the project.
Tell us about your systemCompare a furnace with heat pump options
The best starting point is how your existing building is set up and what you want to change. Consider whether cooling is also needed, whether usable ducts are present, and how individual rooms are occupied. Discuss fuel and electrical requirements as part of the installation scope rather than choosing from equipment features alone.
Plan the work around occupied rooms
Equipment location, distribution, controls, and access should be clear before installation. Tell us about rooms that are difficult to heat and any planned remodel. Ask what parts of the property need access and whether other work must happen first, so the new heater fits both the building and the project schedule.
Plan for the rooms you want to heat
For a Petaluma installation, explain whether you want whole-home heating, a separate zone, or heat for an addition. Electric heating installation can involve a ducted heat pump, a mini split, or other compatible equipment; these do not share the same airflow, electrical, or control requirements.
Bring a simple floor plan and any remodeling schedule to the conversation. We can discuss equipment placement, electrical capacity, retained ducts, and the work needed to connect the system. If you are removing an existing heater rather than starting from scratch, our heating replacement page explains the additional decisions about removal and reuse.
Ask about Heating Installation
Your questions, answered.
Tell us the equipment type, the property address, and what you want to improve. We’ll help you choose the right starting point.
Can the new heating system provide cooling too?
A heat pump can provide both heating and cooling, while a furnace needs separate cooling equipment for air conditioning. We can explain suitable arrangements for your home and compare them with your existing setup.
Where is this service available?
We are based in Petaluma and serve Sonoma County, the North Bay, Marin County, Napa County, and San Francisco. Call with your address and equipment details to discuss scheduling and the scope of your project.
