Manual J · Code-Vented · Commissioned · Warranty Registered
Properly sized, properly vented, properly commissioned. Permit-ready furnace installation by licensed Inland Empire techs.
A new furnace installation is the most important hour of that furnace's 20-year life. Get the load calc wrong, undersized vent, skipped commissioning — and the system you just paid $6,000+ for is on track to short-cycle, overheat, and fail in eight years instead of twenty. Tech On Call installs new gas furnaces, heat pumps, and dual-fuel systems across Riverside and San Bernardino County the way the manufacturer specifies: Manual J load calculation, code-compliant venting, sealed combustion where required, and full commissioning with measured temperature rise, gas pressure, and CO.
Permits are part of the price. California Title 24 requires a permit for any new furnace installation, and we coordinate any required inspections in Riverside and San Bernardino County. Skipping permits creates real problems at resale or for insurance claims, and California has been actively enforcing for years.
Every install includes a smart thermostat, full startup commissioning, combustion testing, and warranty registration with the manufacturer. If you're replacing an existing system, see furnace replacement. If you want the all-electric option, ask about heat pump installation — IRA tax credits make the math very interesting.
Wrong Size = Short Life
Oversized furnace short-cycles and overheats. We Manual J every install — never guess.
Bad Combustion = CO Risk
Improper gas pressure or undersized venting causes incomplete combustion. We test combustion at commissioning.
Wrong Venting = Code Failure
95% AFUE needs PVC sidewall venting; 80% needs lined chimney. Wrong venting fails inspection.
No Commissioning = No Warranty
Manufacturers void warranty if startup isn't documented. We commission every install.
No Permit = Resale Headache
California enforces Title 24. Skipped permits show up at resale or insurance time.
Wrong Duct Sizing
A new high-efficiency furnace on undersized ducts overheats. We measure static pressure first.

How much does furnace installation cost?
Residential gas furnace installation runs $4,500–$8,500 installed depending on AFUE rating and venting work. Heat pump alternatives quoted alongside.
How long does installation take?
Most residential installs done in one day. Heat pump and dual-fuel installs run 1–2 days.
Do you pull permits?
Yes. California Title 24 requires a permit. Permits and inspections included.
What AFUE rating should I install?
Inland Empire homes benefit most from 95%+ AFUE in High Desert (Hesperia, Victorville, Apple Valley) where heating hours are high. 80% AFUE often pencils out better for milder climate areas.
Are rebates available?
Yes — SoCalGas offers rebates on qualifying high-efficiency furnaces. Federal IRA offers credits on heat pumps. We provide all paperwork.
What cities do you serve for heating repair?
Every city in Riverside and San Bernardino County — Riverside, San Bernardino, Fontana, Rancho Cucamonga, Ontario, Corona, Moreno Valley, Temecula, Murrieta, Redlands, Hesperia, Victorville, and the Coachella Valley. Cold-snap nights in Hesperia, Victorville, and Yucaipa drive the most no-heat calls — we triage those first.
Do you warranty heating work?
Every repair carries a workmanship warranty. New furnace and heat pump installs are registered with the manufacturer — most ship a 10-year parts warranty when registered within 60 days, and we handle that paperwork for you.
Do you offer financing on furnace replacement?
Yes — financing is available on qualifying furnace and heat pump installs. We'll walk through monthly payment options and California rebate eligibility (SoCalGas, SCE, federal IRA tax credits) before you commit.
