We repair and replace furnaces, floor furnaces, wall heaters and heat pumps in Piedmont homes. Family owned since 2008. You get a written price before any work starts.
Piedmont homes and their heating
Piedmont homes are larger, older and often built on a slope. Heating has to cover more floors, more rooms and longer duct runs.
- Large early-1900s homes
Big furnaces in the basement feeding long, leaky duct runs to upper floors.
- Multi-story homes
Top floors that overheat while the ground floor stays cold. Zoning fixes that.
- Original gravity furnaces
Many have been converted over the years. Most are due for a full replacement plan.
- Additions and finished basements
Rooms the old system was never sized for. A mini split covers them.
What to know about heating in Piedmont
Many Piedmont homes still run heating equipment that is decades old. Some original units still work, but most are outdated and ready for a retrofit. We recommend an inspection once a year before the heating season and regular maintenance after that.
Many older heating systems here have asbestos in the duct wrap, duct tape, flue pipe or furnace cabinet. Left alone and intact it is not a hazard. It must not be cut, sanded or torn out. If we suspect it, it gets tested and handled by a certified abatement contractor before any work goes forward.
Replacing a furnace or installing a heat pump in Piedmont needs a permit from the City of Piedmont. We pull it as part of the job.

Do you service Piedmont?
Yes. Oakland Air Pros repairs and replaces home heating and cooling throughout Piedmont.
Can a large older Piedmont home use a heat pump?
Yes. Large homes often use a ducted heat pump on the main system plus mini splits for the floors or rooms the ducts never reached. A load calculation decides the size.
How often should an older heater be inspected?
Once a year, before the heating season starts. Older floor furnaces, wall heaters and furnaces should also get regular maintenance. An inspection catches cracked parts, bad venting and carbon monoxide risks before you need the heat.
Do older heating systems contain asbestos?
Many do, in the duct wrap, duct tape, flue pipe or cabinet. Intact material left alone is not a hazard. It must not be cut or torn out. If we suspect it, it gets tested and handled by a certified abatement contractor before any work goes forward.
Do you give a price before the work starts?
Yes. You get a written price after the diagnosis and before any repair or replacement starts.
