Types of Furnaces We Install

At Air Inc. Heating & Air Conditioning, we offer a variety of high-quality furnace systems to accommodate your needs, preferences, and budget. Below are some common types of furnaces we install:

Natural Gas Furnaces

Natural gas furnaces are popular for their affordability, efficiency, and ability to provide reliable heating with lower fuel operating costs. 

Oil Furnaces

Oil furnaces are common in rural areas without natural gas lines. They provide faster heating than gas systems, but also require regular fuel deliveries and on-site storage. 

Electric Furnaces

Electric furnaces are long-lasting, less expensive to install, and safer than gas models, although they typically have higher operating costs.

Dual-Fuel Systems

Dual-fuel systems combine an electric heat pump with a gas furnace and automatically switch to gas during extreme cold, making them a great option for efficient, year-round heating.

Choosing the Right Furnace for Your Home

Wondering what type of furnace is best for your home? Here are some key factors to consider:

  • Fuel type. Natural gas is usually the most cost-effective fuel, while oil and electric furnaces can be a good option for homes without gas access.
  • Energy efficiency. Modern furnaces with high AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) ratings are often a great choice for long-term energy savings. 
  • Home size and insulation. We can make sure your furnace is properly sized and installed to prevent insufficient heating, frequent cycling, and energy waste.

What Furnace Size Do I Need?

A correctly sized furnace is a must to enjoy even and efficient heating. An undersized furnace may struggle to provide adequate heat, while an oversized furnace can lead to increased energy costs. In Connecticut, most homes need 50-60 BTUs per square foot.

Our team conducts comprehensive load calculations to determine the best furnace size for your home. We can evaluate square footage, layout, insulation, and usage patterns to recommend a furnace that delivers consistent comfort without wasting energy. 

How Long Does a Furnace Last?

A well-maintained furnace can last 15-20 years with proper TLC. If your furnace is more than 15 years old, constantly breaks down, or struggles to provide consistent heat, it might be more cost-effective to replace your system altogether. We offer a broad selection of reliable furnace options to guide you toward an informed investment. 

Can a New Furnace Lower My Heating Bills? 

Absolutely. Upgrading to a modern, energy-efficient furnace can significantly reduce your monthly heating costs. Older furnaces often operate at around 70–75% efficiency and waste up to 25% of fuel, while new ENERGY STAR®–rated models can reach 95% efficiency or higher, resulting in less fuel and more savings on energy bills. 

At Air Inc. Heating & Air Conditioning, we help homeowners choose and install high-efficiency furnaces to improve comfort and reduce waste. Our experts can assess your long-term energy goals to recommend a suitable upgrade for your household. As a Carrier® Certified Factory Authorized Dealer and Mitsubishi Electric® Diamond Contractor™, we install top-tier products from trusted brands that are built to last.   

  • Yes it is. Mitsubishi, Daikin, Carrier and all other manufactures are phasing out the manufacturing of Ductless Air Conditioning ONLY stems. They are being replaced by high efficiency Ductless Heat Pumps, which provide both air conditioning and heating.

    It doesn't make economic sense for the manufactures to rearrange an assembly line to make cooling only units, when there is very little cost difference from the manufacturing process of a heat pump.

  • If you know a friend, family member, neighbor, or coworker who’s been having heating or cooling issues, send them our way, and we’ll take great care of them. Refer someone who may need to repair or replace their furnace, boiler, air conditioner, heat pump, water heater, or any other HVAC service.
    Your Reward: When your referral purchases a system from Air, Inc., you’ll receive $250. Some of our customers have earned $500–$1,000 just for sending people they know. There is no limit to the number of rewards you can earn.

  • Ductless mini-split systems are a premium home comfort solution, not a quick window-unit install. A professionally installed single-zone system typically starts around $6,500–$8,500, depending on the home and installation needs. Multi-zone systems serving several rooms can vary more. Each system requires a licensed, experienced crew to ensure efficiency, safety, and long-term reliability. We provide professional in-home evaluations so you know exactly what’s right for your home and budget.

  • With a multi-zone ductless heat pump, you can connect multiple indoor air handlers—often up to eight—to heat and cool different rooms independently.

  • A ductless heat pump works by moving heat, not creating it. In the summer, it pulls heat out of your home to keep you cool. In the winter, it extracts heat from the outdoor air—even when it’s cold—and brings it inside. Each indoor unit controls the temperature of its own room, providing efficient, quiet comfort without ductwork.

Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems are essential for maintaining a comfortable, healthy, and energy-efficient home. A properly functioning HVAC system not only keeps indoor temperatures steady year-round—it also improves air quality by filtering out dust, allergens, and pollutants. Regular maintenance ensures your system runs efficiently, lowering energy bills and extending its lifespan. Whether it’s keeping your family cool in the summer or warm in the winter, your HVAC system plays a vital role in creating a safe and comfortable living environment.
