Upgrading an aging heating system is a major investment in comfort, energy savings, and home value. In Carnegie’s cold winters, an efficient, reliable furnace or heat pump keeps your household cozy without skyrocketing utility bills. Sureway Heating Cooling Plumbing’s heating replacement service combines local expertise, transparent pricing and a streamlined five-step process to guide homeowners through every decision—from identifying warning signs to selecting high-efficiency equipment and securing available rebates.

Once replacement becomes inevitable, Sureway Heating Cooling Plumbing helps homeowners choose from four primary systems tailored to local climate and budget:
Gas Furnaces
Electric Furnaces
Heat Pumps (Air-Source & Hybrid)
Ductless Mini-Splits
Each option carries unique advantages in installation cost, energy savings and ease of integration. A load calculation and home-mapping study ensures the right equipment size and configuration.

AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency): Shows percentage of fuel converted to heat. A 95% AFUE furnace wastes just 5% of input fuel.
SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio): Common for heat pumps and AC, a higher SEER yields greater cooling savings that impact overall annual performance.
