Foothill Homes Need Correct Heat Output
Heat-load calcs for Auburn must use lower winter temps and higher elevation. Fresh Air runs Manual J calcs on every job. We do not guess BTU output. An undersized furnace at this elevation runs all night and still leaves rooms cold.
Correct BTU Output
We size the new furnace to your real heat loss. This stops short cycling and saves fuel over the life of the unit.

There is no charge for the visit. We measure, calculate, and give you a written price before any work begins.

Why BTU Output Matters More at Elevation
Auburn's winter design temp is colder than Sacramento's. Overnight lows in the foothill zone drop well below the valley floor. A furnace sized for Sacramento square footage may be 20 to 30 percent short in Auburn. The result is a system that runs all night without reaching setpoint.
