Furnace Installation in Jacksonville, FL

Where a New Furnace Installation Fits

Think custom homes, residential builds, additions and remodels: projects where the furnace is going in for the first time, or where the layout changes enough that the old heating plan no longer works. Our New Construction HVAC and Remodel HVAC pages explain how we work with homeowners and builders on those projects. Swapping out a furnace that's already there is a different job, covered on our furnace replacement page.

Gas or Electric?

Both are common choices, and both pair with a central AC that shares the furnace's blower and ductwork.

• 🐾

  Gas furnace

  Requires natural gas service at the home and a proper vent path for combustion gases. Heat comes from burners and a heat exchanger.

• 🐾

  Electric furnace

  No gas line or combustion venting. Heat comes from electric elements, and the furnace needs an electrical supply sized for them.

  Not set on a furnace?

  A heat pump heats and cools in one system. Our heat pump installation page explains how that works.

One Blower, Two Jobs

In a furnace-and-AC system, the furnace's blower moves air for heating in winter and for cooling all summer. That means the furnace has to be matched to the AC and the ductwork, not just to the heating load. A professional load calculation on the home, or on the plans for it, is where we start.

What AFUE Means

Furnaces are rated by AFUE, annual fuel utilization efficiency: roughly, the share of the energy a furnace uses over a season that ends up as heat in your home. We'll show you the manufacturer's rated AFUE for each model we quote and explain what the difference means for your home, without overselling it.

Equipment, Warranty and Next Steps

We install Ruud and Bryant systems. The right choice depends on your budget, efficiency goals, the application, and equipment availability. Your new furnace is covered by our two-year labor warranty, the same as every Cool Cats HVAC installation. Financing is available through Wells Fargo and Synchrony. Because new construction and remodel schedules vary, we settle timing with you, or with your builder, once the scope is clear.
