Furnace Installation & Replacement in Houma, LA

Precision Furnace Replacement for Steady, Comfortable Heat

South Louisiana’s cold snaps may be brief, but when they hit, a dependable furnace matters. If your current furnace struggles to keep up, cycles on and off, or drives winter bills through the roof, Trahan’s Cooling, Heating & Plumbing delivers precise furnace installation and replacement in Houma. We right-size equipment, install cleanly, commission thoroughly, and verify performance—so you get quiet, consistent heat and predictable energy costs.

How Long Does a Furnace Last in Houma?

With routine care, most residential furnaces last ~15–20 years. Coastal humidity, duct leakage, and deferred maintenance can shorten that window; regular tune-ups, sealed ductwork, and correct airflow settings extend it. Even a well-kept older furnace loses efficiency and comfort over time as exchangers, sensors, and motors age. We’ll help you decide when repair still makes sense—and when a furnace replacement is the smarter investment.

Clear Signs You Need a New Furnace

Furnace Age 15+ Years

Beyond 15 years, major components become more failure-prone and efficiency falls off. If your furnace is in this range, a replacement consult avoids surprise breakdowns during a cold snap.

Higher Winter Bills & Longer Run Times

If your thermostat setpoints are unchanged but bills climb, your furnace may be working harder for the same comfort—pointing to wear, airflow restrictions, or declining combustion efficiency.

Uneven Rooms, Drafts, or Stale Odors

Comfort issues often trace to furnace sizing, weak blowers, or duct leakage. A properly sized replacement, paired with airflow balancing and filtration, restores even temperatures and cleaner indoor air.

Recurring Furnace Repairs

Multiple calls for igniters, limit switches, pressure switches, or blower motors signal end-of-life wear. A new furnace restores reliability and often lowers the total cost of ownership.

Our Five-Step Furnace Installation Process

1. In-Home Assessment: Room-by-room review, load calculation, duct inspection, return sizing, and safety checks.
2. Right-Sizing & Selection: We recommend capacity, staging (single or two-stage), filtration upgrades, and thermostat options based on comfort goals and budget.
3. Professional Installation: Clean fit-up, sealed supply/return, code-compliant venting and electrical, proper condensate handling where applicable.
4. Commissioning & Verification: Temperature rise targets, blower speeds, static pressure, safety devices, and thermostat operation are measured and documented.
5. Walkthrough & Care Plan: We explain operation, warranties, filter schedule, and first-year maintenance—then provide a written summary.

Choosing the Right Furnace for Your Home

• Capacity: Sized from a load calc—not square footage guesses—to prevent short cycling and cold rooms.
• Staging: Two-stage furnaces often improve comfort and sound levels by running at lower, steadier output most of the time.
• Filtration & IAQ: Higher-MERV filters and media cabinets capture more dust and pollen with less pressure drop than 1” filters.
• Controls: Smart thermostats offer schedules, geofencing, and finer temperature control for steady comfort.

Day-Of-Install Expectations

• Arrival & Protection: On-time window, floor covers, and careful handling throughout your home.
• Removal & Prep: Old furnace removed, platform/return prepped, connections verified.
• Fit & Seal: Tight, sealed connections to reduce leakage and maintain airflow targets.
• Commission: Start-up checks, readings recorded, comfort verified in multiple rooms.

Financing, Warranties & After-Care

We offer flexible furnace financing (with approved credit) and clear equipment/workmanship warranties. Pair your new furnace with scheduled furnace maintenance to protect efficiency and warranty compliance.
