Replacing a furnace is one of the few home decisions you make for the next two decades, and the choices stack up quickly: an 80 percent AFUE unit or a condensing model in the mid-90s, single-stage, two-stage, or modulating burners, a conventional PSC blower or a variable-speed ECM motor that sips electricity and smooths out temperature swings. The truth is that the right combination depends on your Gaithersburg, MD home, how long your heating season runs, and how your duct system behaves, which is why Gaithersburg HVAC starts with a load calculation instead of assuming the last installer sized it right. Oversized furnaces short-cycle, overshoot, and wear themselves out delivering comfort in lurches; correctly sized ones run longer, quieter, and cheaper.
Most of our service calls are for Furnace Repair. If something has stopped working, start there.

- Your current furnace is past the fifteen-to-twenty-year mark
- Service calls that come more often and cost more every year
- Your heat exchanger is cracked, taking repair off the table
- You are upgrading your cooling system and the aging furnace would hold it back
- A blower so noisy you have to raise your voice when it runs
