Furnace Installation — Elk Grove, CA
Many Elk Grove homes still run 80% AFUE furnaces from 20 years ago. Upgrading to 96% AFUE cuts heating fuel use by 20 to 40 percent.
Elk Grove winters are mild, but heating bills still add up. An old 80% AFUE furnace wastes 20 cents of every fuel dollar. A new 96% AFUE unit wastes only 4 cents. Fresh Air Heating & Air has put in furnaces across Elk Grove since 2010. We run a free estimate for every job. We also explain the state GoGreen Home program if you want to spread the cost.

AFUE measures how much fuel becomes heat. An 80% unit loses 20% up the flue. A 96% unit loses only 4%. For a home spending $1,200 a year on gas heat, that is about $240 in annual savings. The upgrade often pays for itself in 5 to 8 years.

Many Elk Grove homes built in the 1990s and early 2000s came with builder-grade 80% AFUE furnaces. Those units are at or past the 20-year mark. Replacing an 80% unit with a 96% AFUE model cuts heating fuel use by 20 to 40 percent. That is a real number even in mild Sacramento winters.

On every free estimate we check the heat exchanger, ignitor, and flue connections. If a repair could add several years of life, we say so.
