Furnace Replacement in Jacksonville, FL
If your furnace is old, breaking down often or no longer keeping the house warm, start with a free replacement estimate. We'll inspect it, measure your home, run a professional load calculation and show you multiple options.
Signs It May Be Time to Replace Your Furnace
These are prompts for a conversation, not a verdict. If a repair makes more sense, we'll tell you.
- 🐾
Age and reliability
An older furnace that's needed more attention lately deserves a closer look than a newer one with a single failed part.
- 🐾
Repair cost
A large repair on aging equipment is a natural point to compare what a new furnace would cost.
- 🐾
Repeated breakdowns
Several service calls in a short stretch are a pattern worth talking about.
- 🐾
The AC it's paired with
If the AC on the same system is also aging, or facing refrigerant considerations, replacing both together may make sense. We'll lay that out with you.
How Your Free Replacement Estimate Works
The estimate is free and no-pressure, and it happens at your home.
- 🐾
Inspect your existing system
We look at the furnace, its venting or electrical supply, the AC it's paired with and how everything has been running.
- 🐾
Measure your home
Home measurements are the starting point for sizing.
- 🐾
Talk through the comfort issues you've noticed
Cold rooms, uneven heat or a furnace that runs and runs all tell us something.
- 🐾
Perform a professional load calculation
Older furnaces are sometimes larger than the home needs. The calculation sizes the new one to the house.
- 🐾
Present multiple options
Gas or electric, furnace only or furnace and AC together, each with upfront pricing.
Stay With Gas or Electric, or Switch?
Replacing with the same fuel type is often the simplest path, since the gas service or electrical supply is already there. Some homeowners use the moment to move to a heat pump instead, which heats and cools in one system; our heat pump installation page explains that option. We'll walk through what each change involves.
Permit, Warranty and Financing
On furnace replacements, Cool Cats pulls the HVAC permit, and the permit cost is included in your quoted installation price. Labor on the new furnace is covered for two years, as on every Cool Cats HVAC installation; manufacturer warranties are separate and vary by product. Financing is available through Wells Fargo and Synchrony. Scheduling depends on the option you choose and equipment availability, so we go over it at your estimate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Cool Cats give free furnace replacement estimates?
Yes. A technician inspects your existing system, measures your home, talks through your comfort concerns, performs a professional load calculation and presents multiple options.
Who pulls the permit for a furnace replacement?
We do. Cool Cats pulls the HVAC permit, and the permit cost is included in your quoted installation price.
Should I replace my AC at the same time as my furnace?
Not always. If the AC is newer and working well, it may make sense to keep it. If it's aging too, replacing both together can be worth comparing. We'll show you both options.
What warranty comes with a new furnace?
A two-year labor warranty on HVAC installations. Manufacturer equipment warranties are separate and vary by product.
What furnace brands do you install?
We install Ruud and Bryant systems. The right choice depends on your budget, efficiency goals, the application, and equipment availability. We service and repair all HVAC brands.
