Furnace Installation in Wilkes-Barre, PA
We handle furnace installation throughout Wilkes-Barre and the surrounding 18701 area, every day of the year including holidays.
Many Wilkes-Barre homes have been insulated or had windows replaced since the original furnace went in, which means they now need less furnace than the one sitting in the basement. Replacing like for like repeats an error that can be decades old.
We are 71 miles from Wilkes-Barre at the original shop, but that is not where your technician comes from — teams work out of every part of the state so the response is local.
Sizing, done properly
A furnace should be sized from a heat loss calculation for your actual building — square footage, insulation, window area, air leakage, orientation and the local design temperature. That is a Manual J, not a rule of thumb per square foot and not matching whatever is being replaced.
Heating and cooling around Wilkes-Barre
Luzerne County runs on a genuine mix: natural gas where the main reaches, oil and propane where it does not. In Wilkes-Barre that means a technician has to be equally comfortable with a cad cell and a flame sensor.
This is also anthracite country, and a handful of properties still have the chimney and flue arrangements of much older heating systems, which affects how modern equipment vents.
For some Wilkes-Barre properties a heat pump or a dual-fuel setup is the better answer than a like-for-like furnace, particularly where you also want cooling. We will lay out both rather than pushing one.
What happens when you call

Furnace Installation in Wilkes-Barre — questions
Do you cover Wilkes-Barre for furnace installation?
Yes. Wilkes-Barre in Luzerne County is inside our service area and the 18701 postal area is worked by the nearest crew. Call (215) 484-0300 at any hour, including nights, weekends and holidays.
How long should a furnace last?
Commonly fifteen to twenty years, longer with consistent maintenance. Age alone is not a reason to replace one that is working safely, but it changes the maths on an expensive repair.
How do you decide what size I need?
From a heat loss calculation for your actual house, not a rule of thumb and not by matching the old unit. Insulation and window upgrades mean many Wilkes-Barre homes now need less furnace than they had.
Do I need a permit in Wilkes-Barre?
Often yes, but it is set locally rather than by the state, since Pennsylvania has no statewide HVAC contractor licence. We handle whatever your township requires.
Is a 95 percent furnace always better?
Not always. It depends on fuel cost, how long you will stay, and what the venting change involves — including whether a shared chimney needs relining for a water heater left on it.
