Furnace Installation & Replacement
If your furnace is more than 15 years old, frequently breaking down, or causing high energy bills, it may be time for a replacement. Modern high-efficiency furnaces with AFUE ratings of 95% or higher can dramatically reduce your heating costs compared to older 60-70% efficient units.
Furnace Types We Install
- Gas Furnaces (80% AFUE) — Standard efficiency, lower upfront cost, good for well-insulated homes
- Gas Furnaces (95-98% AFUE) — High efficiency, two-stage or modulating burners, significant energy savings
- Electric Furnaces — No combustion, suitable where natural gas is unavailable
- Dual-Fuel Systems — Heat pump paired with gas furnace backup for maximum efficiency

Boiler Service
Boiler heating systems circulate hot water through radiators or radiant floor tubing to heat your home. Many older Wisconsin homes use boiler systems, and we have extensive experience servicing, repairing, and replacing all types of residential boilers.
We service gas-fired hot water boilers, steam boilers, and combination boiler/water heater systems. Common boiler repairs include pressure relief valve replacement, circulator pump service, zone valve repair, expansion tank replacement, and burner cleaning and adjustment.
Heat Pump Installation & Service
Heat pumps provide both heating and cooling in a single system, making them an energy-efficient choice for Wisconsin homes. Modern cold-climate heat pumps can operate efficiently even when outdoor temperatures drop below 0°F, making them increasingly practical for Wisconsin winters.
We install and service air-source heat pumps, ductless mini-split heat pumps, and dual-fuel hybrid systems that pair a heat pump with a gas furnace backup. A dual-fuel system uses the heat pump for efficient heating down to about 35°F, then switches to the gas furnace for the coldest days.
