Furnace Installation — service details

The overview below explains how this service works, common problems we see, and what Granite Bay homeowners should expect before scheduling.

Installing the right furnace is one of the most important investments you'll make in your Sacramento home. Done correctly, a high-efficiency furnace can cut your heating bills by 30–40% and last 20+ years. PULSE HVAC handles every step — from equipment selection and permitting to installation and utility rebate filing.

What to Expect From a PULSE Installation

Step 1: Load Calculation and Equipment Selection

We start with a Manual J load calculation — the industry standard for correctly sizing HVAC equipment. Using your home's dimensions, insulation, windows, and orientation, we determine exactly how much heating capacity you need. Then we present options at two or three efficiency tiers with real cost projections.

Step 2: Permits and Scheduling

PULSE handles all required permits with Sacramento County or your municipality. Most installations are scheduled within 3–5 business days of your approval.

Step 3: Installation Day

Our installation crew arrives on time, protects your floors and walls, removes the old equipment, installs the new furnace to manufacturer and code specifications, and tests every system function before leaving.

Step 4: Utility Rebates

SMUD's current residential HVAC rebates focus on electric heat pump systems — gas furnaces generally don't qualify under today's program. If you're considering an electric alternative, we can compare options during your estimate. Check SMUD's current rebates for what's available.

A furnace burns gas (or runs electric resistance) to generate heat — one-way operation, heating only. A heat pump moves heat from outdoor air into the home using a refrigerant cycle — and reverses in summer to cool, replacing the AC. In Sacramento's mild winters, modern heat pumps are typically 2–4× more energy-efficient than gas furnaces and qualify for the largest SMUD and federal IRA rebates. The right choice depends on your current ductwork, electrical panel capacity, and how you weigh upfront cost versus long-term operating cost — we walk through the side-by-side at the estimate.

Most furnace installations are completed in 4–8 hours. A full HVAC system replacement (furnace + AC) typically takes one full day. We handle permits and scheduling so you don't have to.

Furnace sizing is based on a Manual J load calculation — your home's square footage, insulation levels, window area, ceiling height, and local climate all factor in. An oversized furnace is just as problematic as an undersized one. We always size properly before recommending a system.
