Choose the Heating System That Fits the Home
Every home or small business has unique heating needs. Choosing the right type of heater improves comfort and energy use. We help you review fuel access (gas or electric), home size, and budget to pick the right heating setup.
Gas Furnace Installation
A gas furnace fits homes with an existing gas line and forced air ducts. Our team selects the right furnace size in BTUs for your home. We install proper venting using a code rated flue vent. We also connect the furnace to a compatible thermostat.
Heat Pump Installation
Heat pumps give heating and cooling from the same electric unit. This fits homes without a gas line. The setup includes an outdoor unit and an indoor air handler. We plan outdoor placement and confirm your electrical panel can support the load.
Ductless Heating Installation
Ductless mini splits fit room additions, garages, or older homes with duct issues. They heat each space directly without ductwork. We mount indoor heads in the best wall spots. We run refrigerant lines and a drain line to the outdoor unit.
Dual Fuel Setup
A dual fuel setup pairs an electric heat pump with a gas furnace. The heat pump covers most mild weather heating. The furnace turns on as backup in colder weather. Thermostat logic controls changeover for strong comfort and better efficiency.

Heating System Sizing and Design Before Installation
Proper planning matters before installing a heater. Our team takes time upfront to size the unit and plan airflow for your home. We use load calculations and duct design methods, not rough estimates. This helps the heater warm rooms evenly and run with stable efficiency.
Load Calculation
We perform a Manual J load calculation to find the heating capacity your home needs. This method uses square footage, insulation, window count, layout, and sun exposure. These details help us choose a heater size that fits the home load. Proper sizing supports steady comfort and helps reduce energy waste.
Duct Design and Air Distribution
Our expert technicians design the ductwork layout using Manual D standards for even air distribution. This includes sizing supply ducts and placing registers so each room gets proper airflow. We check return airflow to keep pressure balanced. Good duct design helps avoid hot spots and cold rooms.
We review your electrical service capacity, gas supply, and equipment clearances during planning. An electric heater or heat pump may need a dedicated 240V circuit and open breaker space. For gas furnaces, we confirm gas piping capacity and plan the exhaust vent route. We also confirm disconnect access for service and safety.
Permits, Title 24 Paperwork, and Verification
The City of Simi Valley requires a permit for heating installation or replacement. Air Force A/C and Heating manages the permit steps and helps line up the city inspection. A permit helps confirm the work meets safety rules and local building code.
California Title 24 paperwork can apply to heater installs and replacements. CF1R is a compliance form used for the permit file, and CF2R records what gets installed. These forms help show the heater meets state energy standards.
Some projects may also need HERS field verification. If ducts get installed or changed, duct leakage testing may apply and CF3R is used for the verification record. We manage the testing steps and keep the paperwork aligned with the permit.
What Happens During Heater Installation at the Home
On the day of installation, our technicians arrive on time and prepare your home for work. Protective coverings go down to keep floors and furniture clean. Then the team installs your new heater step by step.
For safety, power and gas get shut off to the existing unit. If it is a replacement job, the old heater gets disconnected and removed with care. The old unit gets hauled away, so you do not need to lift it.
- Protect the work area and remove the old heater when replacing.
- Position the new heater and secure it in place.
- Connect the heater to ductwork, the gas line, and electrical power.
- Install and set up the thermostat or controls.
- Test the new heater and clean the work area before finishing.
Most heater installations finish within 1 day. By the time we leave, the heater runs and warms the home. The work stays organized to reduce disruption to your routine.

After completing your heating installation, Air Force A/C and Heating performs thorough quality checks on the new heater. We confirm each part works right and stays safe.

- Proper Venting: The furnace vent gets checked for safe exhaust flow.

Comfort Add-Ons That Make an Install Work Better
Installing a new heater is a good time to add comfort features like smart controls or zoning. A smart thermostat lets you adjust temperatures from your phone with better control. A zoning setup uses multiple thermostats to heat different areas on their own, so you only warm the rooms you use. Indoor air quality can also improve with add ons. High efficiency filters or an air purifier help reduce dust and allergens in the air. A whole house humidifier can help keep humidity at a comfortable level during dry winter months.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a heating installation take?
Most standard heating installations are finished in about 1 day. We start in the morning and, in many cases, have the new heater running the same day. Larger or more complex projects, like adding new ducts or multiple units, can take 2 days. Our team works in an organized way to keep downtime low.
Is a permit required to install or replace my heater?
Yes. California law and local building codes require a permit for new heater installation or replacement. A permit ensures the work gets inspected and meets safety standards. Air Force AC and Heating manages the permit paperwork and helps schedule the inspection, so you have fewer steps to track.
Should I get a gas furnace or a heat pump in Simi Valley?
Both options work well in Simi Valley climate. A gas furnace provides very strong heat on cold nights and needs a gas supply. A heat pump offers efficient heating in milder weather and also works as your air conditioner in summer. If your home already has a gas line, a furnace is a straightforward choice. If you prefer an all electric option or need to replace an old AC at the same time, a heat pump is a strong option.
How much does a new heating installation cost?
The price can vary based on the heater type, home size, and any upgrades needed, like new ductwork or an electrical panel update. A basic furnace replacement may cost a few thousand dollars. A full heating installation with new ducts can cost more due to added work and materials. We provide a free, detailed quote upfront so you know the total price on the estimate before we begin.
Should I replace my furnace and air conditioner at the same time?
Replacing both together can make sense when both units are near the end of life. If your furnace and AC are 15+ years old or unreliable, replacing them together can improve fit and reduce repeat service work. Upgrading both helps match airflow and controls, and it can reduce labor overlap. If 1 unit still runs well, replacing only the failing unit can also work. We can inspect your HVAC equipment and recommend the right option for your home.
