Keeping your home comfortable throughout the Rhode Island winters is crucial. At CARJON, we understand the importance of a well-working heating system, which is why we offer professional furnace installation and repair services.
Furnace Installation
There are many options when considering a new furnace for your home. Whether you’re considering a ductless mini split heat pump or a new energy-efficient furnace, we always design systems that fit your needs using top brand equipment. A furnace installed by CARJON has been designed, tested, and built to last.
We begin every furnace installation by ensuring your system is properly sized for your home using industry-approved Manual J load calculation. Not only is this step required by code, it also ensures your furnace is not over or under sized for your home’s needs—a crucial piece in achieving comfort and extending the life of the equipment. We’ll also assess your duct system, if you have one, to determine whether modifications or replacement is necessary.
Furnace Repair
If you’re experiencing a problem with your heating system during the dreaded cold weather, you can count on our professionally trained technicians to quickly get you nice and warm! We use building science tactics and assessments to take the guesswork out of furnace repairs and are committed to providing honest and straightforward service. No matter what issues your heating system is having, the CARJON team can perform comprehensive diagnostics and will always give you a firm, up-front price to repair it that includes all labor, parts, and materials.
The best way to avoid costly furnace repairs and extend the life of your heating system is with regular maintenance. At CARJON, we also offer affordable Maintenance Agreements that can discover any issues before they become big problems, giving you peace of mind. Looking for even more coverage? Consider enrolling in our Premium Protection Plan which acts as an extended warranty for your furnace.
How to Know When to Repair or Replace Your Furnace
There will inevitably come a point when your older furnace needs repairs. However, it can be difficult to compare repair and furnace replacement costs. While it’s important to have your furnace thoroughly inspected before making a decision, there are a few factors that you can consider to guide you through the process:
- Age - Most furnaces have a lifespan between 15-20 years and as they age, they will lose efficiency. If you’re having recurring issues on a furnace that’s more than a decade old, it’s probably a good idea to consider replacing it.
- Comfort - If your furnace is struggling to keep up with your heating needs, it could be improperly sized for your home or have an underlying problem.
- Efficiency - When your heating bills drastically increase without more usage or your rates going up, we usually consider that a red flag that something isn’t right with either your furnace or duct system.
- Cost - In general, if the cost of repairing your furnace is at least half of the cost of a replacement, it will usually be more cost-effective to replace your heating system instead of continuing to pay for furnace repairs.
During the winter, the largest portion of your utility bill is most likely going toward your gas furnace or other heating system. There have been many advances in high-efficiency heating, and exploring these options now is a wise decision. CARJON continuously stays up-to-date on the newest technology, bringing you the very best in high-efficiency heating.

We used Carjon Heating and Cooling (Cumberland, RI) to fix a gas furnace in February, 2014. A previous contractor had told us that many expensive parts would have to be replaced and we might as well buy a new furnace. The Carjon technician spent a lot of time troubleshooting in a cold attic and found that the problem was a high temperature limit switch that had shorted out. Kudos to that technician. Prompt, courteous and knowledgeable.
"Thank you and all of your employees who were instrumental in the replacement of my gas furnace... I found myself stuck in the bitterest part of winter with a failing furnace. You supplied timely estimates and interim service to keep us warm. My compliments to your crew of three, who were extremely punctual and professional in every way during the replacement and had us up and running by late afternoon. I'm glad I chose your company for this work and will gladly refer you to any prospective customers I come across. "
