When the temperatures drop in Pasadena and the Greater Los Angeles area, your home’s comfort relies heavily on an efficient and properly sized furnace. Whether you’re replacing an old system or installing a new one, choosing the right furnace is a big decision that impacts your comfort, energy bills, and indoor air quality. At Air Comfort Experts, we help homeowners make confident choices by guiding them through every step—from selection to professional furnace installation.
Understanding Furnace Types
Before choosing a furnace, it’s important to understand the different types available. The three main options are:
Gas Furnaces: These are the most common and are known for delivering powerful, consistent heat. They’re energy-efficient and work well for homes that already have natural gas lines.
Electric Furnaces: Ideal for homes without gas hookups, electric furnaces are clean, quiet, and reliable. Although they may cost more to run, they tend to require less maintenance.
Oil Furnaces: Less common in California but still used in some areas, oil furnaces are powerful and durable but often require more maintenance and higher fuel costs.
Our team at Air Comfort Experts can help you determine which system fits your home’s setup, budget, and comfort goals.
Energy Efficiency and Sizing
Furnaces are rated by their Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE). The higher the AFUE rating, the more efficiently the furnace converts fuel into heat. For Pasadena homeowners looking to save on utility costs, a high-efficiency furnace can make a big difference over time.
Just as important is choosing the right size. A furnace that’s too small won’t heat your home effectively, while one that’s too large will cycle on and off frequently, wasting energy and causing unnecessary wear. Our HVAC professionals perform precise load calculations to ensure your new system is perfectly matched to your home’s size, insulation, and layout.
Considering Heat Pumps as an Alternative
Modern heat pumps are gaining popularity as an energy-efficient alternative to traditional furnaces. As Mitsubishi Electric Diamond Contractors, Air Comfort Experts specializes in high-performance heat pump systems that both heat and cool your home efficiently. These systems reduce energy consumption and can qualify for rebates and incentives—making them an environmentally friendly and cost-effective choice.
Professional Installation and Ongoing Maintenance
Even the most advanced furnace will underperform if it’s not installed correctly. Our licensed and insured technicians ensure your system operates safely, efficiently, and at peak performance from day one. We also offer maintenance services to keep your system running smoothly, reducing the risk of costly breakdowns.
