What we handle
Gas Furnace Repair & Tune-up
Ignitors, flame sensors, gas valves, draft inducers, blower motors, control boards. Fall tune-up before first use catches 80% of the failures that happen mid-cold-snap.
Heat Pump Service
Reversing valves, defrost boards, refrigerant charge. Modern heat pumps run efficiently down into the 30s — we install Bosch, Carrier, and Trane variable-speed systems sized for desert shoulder-season demand.
Mini-Split Heat & Multi-Zone
Mitsubishi, Daikin, and Fujitsu mini-splits with heating mode — ideal for casita additions and homes where running ducts isn’t practical.
Full Furnace Replacement
When a 20-year-old 80%-efficiency furnace finally quits, we right-size the replacement (Manual J load calc), match efficiency to your real usage, and pull the permit.
The case for the fall tune-up
The cheapest heating call is the one you don’t need to make in February at 9 PM. Most no-heat calls come down to three failures — and all three are catchable in a 45-minute fall maintenance visit:
- Hot-surface ignitors: they age out from thermal cycling. Replacing one preemptively is $80; replacing one at midnight on a holiday weekend is a whole different conversation.
- Flame sensors oxidize during idle months. A 5-minute clean in October saves a no-heat call in January.
- Blower wheel buildup: 8 months of summer dust on the blower wheel kills airflow. Restricted airflow trips the high-limit switch, which looks like “the furnace won’t run” but it’s an airflow problem.
Anthem Club members get the fall heating tune-up included in their annual visit schedule.

Frequently asked questions
My furnace ran fine all last winter — why won’t it light now?
Most common: ignitor or flame sensor. Both are inexpensive parts that age out from thermal cycling, even when the system isn’t being actively used. A diagnostic visit will isolate which one in 20 minutes.
Is a heat pump worth it in the Coachella Valley?
Yes, for most homes — modern variable-speed heat pumps run efficiently in our climate AND replace your AC. One unit instead of two, lower electric bills than gas-furnace + AC in many cases, and federal/state rebates often cover meaningful chunks of the install cost. We’ll run the math against your actual energy bills before recommending.
Should I replace my 18-year-old furnace before it fails?
Depends on its current condition. An 18-year-old 80% furnace that’s been maintained is worth running until it actually breaks if the heat exchanger is intact. An 18-year-old furnace with a cracked heat exchanger is a carbon monoxide risk — replace immediately, regardless of remaining lifespan.
Do you do gas furnace AND mini-split installs?
Yes — we install gas furnaces (Bryant, Carrier, Trane, Goodman), heat pumps (Bosch IDS, Carrier Infinity, Trane XV), and ductless mini-splits (Mitsubishi, Daikin, Fujitsu) for additions and retrofits.
Are you licensed for heating work?
Yes — CSLB #1001659, C-20 HVAC classification covers all combustion and heat-pump work. General liability and workers’ comp on every job. We pull every permit a job requires.
