Furnace repair and heater tune-ups in Newport Beach

When your furnace will not light, blows cold air, short-cycles or starts making new noises, we can help. The diagnosis is a paid visit: our tech tests the system, shows you what we found, and gives you the price before any work starts. Common fixes are igniters, flame sensors, pressure switches, blower motors and control boards.

Most furnace repairs we do run about $240 to $1,150. If a repair would go above $1,000 on a furnace that is out of warranty, we will tell you it is time to consider replacement, and that estimate is free.

Before the first cold night, a tune-up catches the small stuff. If the furnace is near the end of its life, we lay out repair and replacement side by side. Replacements come with a free in-home estimate, permits pulled, our 5-year labor warranty in writing, and Goodleap financing. See furnace repair and furnace replacement.

Replacement and room-by-room comfort

A new system. The right fit.

We start with your home: existing equipment, uncomfortable rooms, comfort goals, and budget. Ductwork condition matters when comparing central heating and cooling with other options.

Ductless comfort, room by room

For an addition or a room that never feels right, a ductless system may make sense. Indoor-unit placement, outdoor space, electrical requirements, and drainage all shape the design.

Explore ductless mini-split installation, Quilt heat pumps, and the brands we install. Equipment, efficiency, scope, permits, and pricing are confirmed in your proposal.

Care for what you have.

Cleaning, testing, filter checks, and inspecting worn components help us understand what your equipment needs. Dirt can make moving air and transferring heat harder.

Airflow, clean air & control

We investigate uncomfortable rooms and indoor-air concerns. Depending on what we find, options may include filtration, duct or register work, humidity control, ventilation, or cleaning and repair.

We also install and repair smart thermostats and help you understand controls that fit your system.

*****

It was time to service the fan blower unit and had a pleasant experience again working with Glenn and his trainee George. I appreciated the time Glenn took to ensure George's work met the expectations that Glenn would have performed the job to. It's not often companies have seasoned experienced employees that can share their knowledge and experience with new staff. I hope Thomson keeps Glenn around for many more years!

Over the years, we've used Thomson to do major HVAC construction, equipment replacement and service. They are always very thorough, knowledgeable, considerate and the prices are fair. They have a lot of experienced technicians on their team and communicating with the office is easy. We get our system serviced every 6 months (very important) and they actually offer a monthly payment plan for that. I didn't take off a star (because they do offer a fantastic service), but it is difficult if something breaks during the weekend. They won't respond until offices open on Monday. But they will get you in as soon as possible and the service is great.

Very honest company and great customer service. It's been a long time since we had our AC unit inspected and after all these years it's still good to go and ready for summer! Ethan did a great job answering all my questions. Quick, efficient and very knowledgeable. Thanks Thomson!

Ethan was great and was very helpful in helping me understand the unit. He came out the same day I called and had parts on his truck to make the repairs right then and there. Ethan was very friendly and I would recommend him and Thomson Air Conditioning to anyone in the future.

FAQ

Newport Beach AC and furnace questions

How does Thomson diagnose an AC problem in Newport Beach?

We inspect the system, document useful findings with photos or video, explain what failed, and show you the available options and pricing. You approve the work before we begin.

How often should a Newport Beach HVAC system be maintained?

For most homes, we recommend professional maintenance twice a year. Coastal salt, runtime, filters, and equipment condition can change the exact work needed, so we confirm the maintenance scope after inspecting the system.

How can coastal air affect outdoor HVAC equipment?

Salt in coastal air can speed up corrosion on outdoor coils and cabinets. Regular inspection and proper rinsing can help, and a suitable protective coating may be worth discussing when new equipment is installed.

Which HVAC brands does Thomson install?

Thomson installs Hisense, Innovair, and Quilt equipment. We compare the home, comfort goals, layout, and budget before recommending a ducted or ductless option.

Does Thomson offer same-day residential service?

We like to get out the same day, and we almost always can. During extreme weather the schedule fills up, so contact the team with the address and symptoms and we will confirm the soonest time.

How much does a furnace repair visit cost in Newport Beach?

A furnace repair starts with a paid diagnostic visit. Our tech finds the cause, shows you what we found, and gives you the repair price before any work starts. Furnace repairs usually run about $240 to $1,150, depending on the problem. You decide whether to go ahead.

What is included in a heater tune-up?

A $99 tune-up is a filter change and a visual inspection. A $159 maintenance visit adds a coil rinse, a drain flush, and readings and video of the whole system.

Do you give free estimates in Newport Beach?

Yes, for furnace and system replacements. Repairs start with a paid diagnostic visit, since that is where we find and test the actual problem.

What does a furnace replacement cost?

On our recent furnace replacements, most jobs landed between $4,500 and $5,700, and the typical job came in at about $5,100. We give you a free in-home estimate first, and Goodleap financing is available.
