Furnace Installation & Replacement in Mountain View
At Calvey Heating and Air, our team makes the furnace installation and replacement process as seamless as possible.

Based on our assessment, we’ll calculate your home’s exact heating load and guide you through selecting a correctly sized furnace that meets your needs and budget. Our services come with flat, transparent pricing with no hidden fees — you’ll know exactly what you’re paying for, with no surprises.
You can rely on our team to handle installation of your new equipment with efficiency and precision.

After installation, we’ll walk you through your system and provide guidance on operation, care, and follow-up maintenance.
Signs You Need Heating Replacement
Heating systems wear as they age, gradually losing efficiency and performance. These signs can be subtle as they slowly progress, making it difficult to notice significant losses in your heating system’s functionality. Knowing the signs that your system is nearing the end of its lifespan and due for replacement helps prevent you from unexpected breakdowns, disruption to your home’s comfort, and urgent fixes or replacements.
Start planning for replacement if you notice these signs:
- Age of unit: Most furnaces last between 15 and 25 years before losing significant functionality or failing altogether.
- Increased utility bills: A significant spike in your utility bills without a corresponding usage increase signals that your system is working harder than it should to keep your home comfortable.
- Frequent repairs: As aging wears your system, it becomes more prone to breakdowns. Numerous breakdowns render your system unreliable and quickly accumulate repair costs — replacement is often a more cost-effective solution than keeping up with increasingly frequent repairs.
- Short or constant cycles: If your heating cycles turn on in either quick, overly long, or consonant intervals, it’s potentially a sign of efficiency losses or an improperly sized unit.
Save on Energy Bills with New Efficient Heating Systems
Investing in a new and efficient heating system can significantly lower energy consumption, utility bills, and other operating costs. Consider these factors:
- Reduced consumption: Compared to older models, modern systems are engineered to deliver higher heating output with lower energy consumption. This translates to both reduced utility bills and carbon footprint.
- Enhanced longevity: Energy-efficient systems are generally equipped with advanced and high-quality parts, resulting in improved durability, fewer repair costs, and an extended lifespan. Although the upfront cost may be more than for a less efficient model, the long-term energy and operating costs make them an economical long-term choice.
- Rebates and incentives: Homeowners can take advantage of the Inflation Reduction Act, Tech Clean California, and other programs that offer tax rebates and other incentives for energy-efficient HVAC installations to offset upfront costs.
Our installation services include a range of energy-efficient heating products. We’ll help you select the ideal furnace, heat pump, or mini-split system for your home.
Heat pumps
While a furnace burns fuel to heat your home, a heat pump transfers heat instead of generating it. These units extract heat from outdoors and transfer it indoors using a similar refrigeration process as conventional air conditioners. Heat pumps are highly efficient, particularly in the South Bay area and similarly moderate climates, and can switch between heating and cooling modes for year-round comfort.
Mini-splits
Mini-split systems are essentially reconfigured heat pump systems. Typically consisting of an outdoor condenser unit and one or more indoor air handlers, mini-splits use the same heat transfer principles as a standard heat pump. With multiple indoor units, however, mini-splits are ideal for homes without ductwork, have straightforward and minimally disruptive installation procedures, and run more quietly than most other systems.
Mini-splits deliver warm air directly, minimizing air losses sometimes associated with ducted systems and yielding superior efficiency over conventional heating systems. While capable systems on their own, they also offer zoning flexibility that makes them an advantageous complement to existing furnace systems.
Furnaces
Furnaces that satisfy Energy Star criteria can also offer high efficiency and cost savings. These systems typically have an annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE) rating of 90% or higher, translating to minimal waste per fuel unit. They’re typically equipped with advanced heat exchangers, variable speed blowers, smart thermostat compatibility, and other high-quality materials and features.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an additional HVAC unit in my home?
If you’ve renovated your home or find your current system doesn’t quite meet your heating needs, we can design a solution with additional HVAC units. For instance, mini-splits are great options for home additions that aren’t connected to your existing furnace or ductwork.
Do you still need a furnace with a heat pump?
Heat pumps offer high efficiency over other systems in many cases. In areas with extreme winter temperatures or especially large homes, a furnace and heat pump can work cooperatively to maximize overall efficiency.
