Heating a Peoria Home the Right Way

Peoria winters are short, so a heating system here runs far fewer hours than the air conditioner beside it. Furnace installation in Peoria is usually a choice between replacing a gas furnace like for like, moving to a heat pump, or replacing a rooftop packaged unit. The right answer depends on whether the house has gas, how old the air conditioner is and how the ducts are laid out.

Gas Furnace, Heat Pump or Packaged Unit

  • Gas furnace. Quick, strong heat and a familiar setup in older central Peoria homes with a gas line. It pairs with a separate air conditioner.
  • Heat pump. Cools and heats with one outdoor unit. If the AC is also near the end of its life, one heat pump can replace both.
  • Packaged gas and electric unit. One cabinet on the roof or a pad, common across the Valley. We replace these with the curb and connections checked.

Sizing and the Efficiency Question

We size heating by load calculation. A larger furnace is not a better one; oversized equipment short-cycles and wears out sooner. A high-efficiency condensing furnace needs a condensate drain and different venting, and with so few heating hours here the payback can be long. We price both options so you can decide with the numbers.

Safety and Code

On every gas installation we check the gas line, the flue and venting and the combustion air, and we test for carbon monoxide at startup. Peoria issues permits through its Development Services office on 85th Avenue, and each permit lists the contractor’s Arizona ROC licence and City of Peoria business licence. We pull the permit and meet the inspector.

Common Questions

Can I replace my furnace and keep my AC?

Yes, if the AC is in good shape and the new furnace’s blower is matched to the existing coil. If the AC is older than about 12 years, we price both so you can compare.

Do you install heat pumps in older homes?

Yes. In older central Peoria houses we check the electrical service and the ducts first, because a heat pump depends on both.
