What to Expect During Your Furnace Replacement

What to Expect During Your Furnace Replacement

For some of our customers, this might be the first time replacing a furnace. Others have gone through it before—either in the same home or somewhere else. No matter your situation, our top priority is safety. Every installation is done to meet our own high standards, the manufacturer’s requirements, and all local building codes. Here’s what you can expect from our San Diego furnace replacement services:

We start by visiting your home to see what you’re working with. Our technician will look at your current furnace, ductwork, gas and electrical connections, and ventilation setup. We take detailed measurements to calculate the proper furnace size. Many homes have the wrong-size furnace, and if you’ve added on or renovated, your old one may not be enough anymore. This ensures your new furnace heats efficiently without short cycling or wasting energy.

Once you’ve chosen your replacement system, we’ll carefully disconnect and remove the old one. This includes turning off power and gas, capping lines, and protecting nearby walls and flooring. If your old unit has damaged venting or deteriorated parts, we’ll take care of those before continuing.

Before the new furnace goes in, we’ll prep the space so everything lines up perfectly. This might mean updating the platform, adjusting duct connections, or replacing outdated vent materials. For older San Diego homes—especially those with tight attic or closet installations—we make sure there’s proper clearance and airflow.

Your new furnace is set in place, leveled, and connected to your home’s gas line, power supply, and duct system. We check every connection for leaks or loose wiring and make sure the venting system is sealed properly.

Once installed, we run your furnace through a full heating cycle to make sure everything’s working as it should. Any needed adjustments are made on the spot. You’ll know your system is running safely and efficiently before we leave.

We’ll wrap up by walking you through the system, showing you how to use the thermostat, change filters, and understand basic maintenance. We also go over warranty coverage and service reminders so you know what to expect moving forward. You’ll feel confident and comfortable with your new system before we head out.

When it comes to what’s the best furnace to buy, we’ll walk you through the options and explain efficiency ratings like AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency)—which measures how much of your furnace’s fuel is converted into usable heat. We’ll also cover features like variable-speed blowers, compatibility with smart thermostats, and noise reduction options.

If you’re interested in a more energy-efficient alternative, we can share information on a heat pump installation as well so you can compare all your heating options before you decide.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most furnaces last between 15 and 20 years, depending on how often they’re used and how well they’re maintained. In San Diego, where heaters don’t run as hard as they do in colder climates, many systems make it past the 20-year mark. The key is regular maintenance—keeping filters clean and scheduling yearly tune-ups can easily add a few extra years of reliable service.

The right furnace size depends on more than just your home’s square footage. We look at insulation quality, ceiling height, window type, and even how much sunlight your home gets during the day. A furnace that’s too large will cycle on and off constantly, while one that’s too small won’t keep up on cold nights. At Guthrie & Sons, we perform a full heat load calculation to make sure your system is perfectly sized for your home’s needs.

A new furnace should be serviced once a year to stay safe, efficient, and under warranty. During maintenance, our technicians clean burners, check electrical and gas connections, inspect the heat exchanger, and test overall performance.

Furnaces are rated by AFUE—Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency—which measures how much fuel is turned into usable heat. An 80% AFUE furnace converts 80% of the fuel into heat, while a 95% AFUE model wastes very little energy. High-efficiency furnaces cost more upfront but can significantly lower monthly heating costs and qualify for rebates and energy credits.

We had Rob from Guthrie & Sons come out to repair one of our A/C units. Rob was very friendly and professional. Rob resolved the problem quickly.
As far as price goes, I paid a higher flat fee 12 years ago from one of the larger local companies. I'm very impressed with pricing and quality of work.

I highly recommend Guthrie & Sons and Rob.

Guthrie & Sons has always been super professional and knowledgeable about our system. They did the install a few years ago and have continued to maintain it for us. This year we noticed that our system wasn't performing as well, so when Wayne came out, he noticed a likely leak and was back 2 days later to find and fix it. He was quick, professional, and just extremely nice! 100% recommend.

Called one of the "big guys" in town and the estimate to do what needed to be done to diagnose my problem was nearly 1/2 the cost of the system when I purchased it and had it installed 5.5 years ago, I found Guthrie & Sons and they came out the same day and did the same work for 1/4 the price I was quoted for the same exact work! Daniel was friendly, honest and quickly got my system working as expected. I even purchased the service plan so I don't have future problems. I highly recommend these guys, they were awesome, don't get ripped off call Guthrie & Sons!!!

Matt and Bryan are truly the A-Team! Their teamwork was outstanding and the workmanship was meticulous. The air handler was carefully installed, wiring neatly secured, plenum perfectly fitted, and the condenser precisely positioned and leveled for proper clearance and vibration control. The line set was pressure-tested and vacuumed as well. They also left the work area clean and neat.

Please congratulate them for a job well done!

After dealing with several HVAC companies, Guthrie & Sons clearly stood out as the most ethical, honest, and reliable. From the very beginning, their approach felt transparent and genuinely focused on what was best for us—not on upselling or unnecessary replacements.

We worked with Vlad T., who had previously been out to our home and saved us tens of thousands of dollars by getting our existing AC unit up and running when other companies were pushing for a full replacement. That experience alone earned our trust.

Now that we’re finally ready to purchase new units, there was no question that Guthrie & Sons was the only company we would consider, and Vlad was the obvious choice. He was extremely professional, punctual, and exceptionally knowledgeable, taking the time to explain options clearly and thoroughly. His expertise and honesty made the entire process straightforward and stress-free.

If you’re looking for an HVAC company you can truly trust—one that values integrity, quality workmanship, and customer service—I cannot recommend Guthrie & Sons and Vlad T. highly enough. This is how service should be done.

The layout of my condo made installing splits challenging, and before I met with Guthrie and Sons, three companies either told me that it couldn't be done. Vlad studied my apartment until he found a way to install with minimal openings in the walls and without a second condenser. Mallory, who works in the office, always followed through and advised me when I ran into a hiccup and needed detailed plans for the city. My HOA appreciated Guthrie and Sons' thoroughness and was so impressed with the design, that another resident who had been wanting splits for years, decided to install splits at the same time. The team that came in was knowledgeable, professional, and hard working. They finished a day ahead of time. I'm thrilled with the way everything looks and works.

I’ve been using Guthrie & Sons for over 15 years. They installed my whole AC system and maintained it all those years and never had an issue. Well it was time for an upgrade and they’ve recently installed my second system. The team 15 years ago and the team this time around were both amazing, professional and clean. I can’t recommend them enough Matt, Ben, Christian and Bryan get 10 stars. They are a bit pricier but worth the investment when you have peace of mind and almost two decades of great service and no issues.

I only wish the annual service was cheaper 🙂

I have a maintenance plan for my heat pump and air conditioner which Guthrie & Sons installed two years ago. I am very happy with my system as well as the maintenance plan. Wayne, one of their excellent technicians, just completed the Fall service and now the system is ready for winter use. He is knowledgeable and has been able to answer any questions I have about my system. In addition, the office at Guthrie & Sons is very responsive and follows through on any questions and concerns within 24 hours if not immediately. Great service from a great company.

We bought our HVAC system from Guthrie & Sons. They have been monitoring our system online and later noticed a heat sensor issue.

Zach M. came by and installed on new one. He was extremely professional and completed the installation promptly.

This was another great experience all around and I gladly recommend Guthrie and Son's for all your HVAC needs.
