We’re Northstar Heating & Air, and Daniel Okafor personally handles every heating call that comes out of Loomis.

Why Northstar Heating & Air San Francisco Is Loomis’s Preferred Heating & Furnace Company

Loomis isn’t a market we advertise into from a distance. We’ve replaced furnaces in homes where the original unit was installed when the property was still zoned agricultural, and we’ve traced ductwork through attics that were never designed for modern HVAC loads. That history matters when you’re trying to figure out why a 1992 propane furnace keeps cycling on a 38-degree night.

Our Heating & Furnace team carries a 4.9-star average across 357 verified reviews, and a meaningful share of those come from Placer County customers who initially called us because they were tired of dispatchers sending technicians who’d never seen a propane conversion job. Daniel Okafor shows up as both owner and lead technician, so the person quoting your heat exchanger replacement is the same person who’ll be inside your mechanical room at 7 a.m.

Response time to Loomis averages same-day for calls placed before noon, and next-morning for afternoon requests. We don’t route you through a call center in another state. When you dial (855) 600-3322, you’re talking to someone who can tell you the difference between a standard gas valve and a propane-converted unit without putting you on hold.

Our Heating & Furnace Services in Loomis

Furnace Repair

Furnace repair in Loomis presents a split market. Along Taylor Road and the main corridors, we service natural-gas furnaces in homes that tied into municipal lines during the 1980s and 1990s. Move onto the acreage parcels off Ophir Road or any of the rural routes, and we’re working on propane-fired units with different pressure requirements, burner orifices, and venting needs. A technician who treats them identically creates a safety hazard. We’ve repaired York and Daikin units that lost ignition during cold snaps, replaced blower motors in American Standard systems running overtime against poorly sealed attic ductwork, and diagnosed limit switch failures caused by the extreme temperature swings that hit Loomis’s foothill position. Typical furnace repair in Loomis runs $175–$825.

Furnace Replacement

Replacing a furnace in Loomis almost always forces a fuel-source conversation. If you’re on propane, we need to size correctly for the BTU content difference, spec the right gas valve, and often address the ductwork simultaneously because these rural homes were built with systems that never expected modern efficiency standards. In the Loomis Basin area, we’ve converted aging propane furnaces paired with swamp coolers into fully ducted dual-fuel systems. That job type barely exists five miles west in Roseville, but it’s routine here. A full furnace replacement in Loomis typically starts around $4,130 for standard-efficiency equipment and can reach $8,850 for high-efficiency variable-speed units with duct modifications.

Furnace Tune-Up

A furnace tune-up in Loomis costs $95–$235 and pays for itself fast. The wide thermal swing here means most systems get heavy use in both directions, and the unconditioned attics common to 1970s–1990s construction push equipment harder than in newer, better-insulated homes. During a tune-up, Daniel inspects heat exchangers for the stress cracking that comes from repeated expansion and contraction, checks propane pressure and combustion on fuel-specific units, and tests airflow against duct systems that may have degraded after decades in 140°F attic summers. We recommend annual service, ideally in October before the first hard freeze.

Heat Exchanger Inspection & Replacement

Heat exchanger failures are serious. A cracked exchanger can leak carbon monoxide into your living space, and in Loomis’s tight, well-sealed custom homes from the 1990s, that risk concentrates rather than dissipates. We use combustion analyzers and visual inspection protocols on every service call, and if we find a crack, we don’t patch it. We replace it, or we replace the furnace if the unit’s age makes the repair uneconomical. Propane combustion runs hotter than natural gas, which can accelerate heat exchanger fatigue in older units not originally spec’d for converted fuel. This is not a DIY assessment. If you smell anything unusual or your CO detector triggers, shut the system down and call (855) 600-3322.

Trusted Brands We Service in Loomis

We’re certified and experienced on nine major HVAC brands: Carrier, Trane, Loomis Lennox service, Goodman, Rheem, York, Daikin, Bryant, and American Standard. For Loomis customers, that breadth matters because these custom and semi-custom homes were often spec’d with whatever brand the original builder preferred, and we’ve seen all nine represented across the 95650 zip. We stock common ignitors, gas valves, and blower components for York, Daikin, and Bryant systems locally, which means faster turnaround on repairs without waiting for Sacramento distribution warehouses to deliver. When your furnace fails on a Friday evening before a forecast freeze, that parts availability can be the difference between a cold weekend and a warm house.

Common Heating & Furnace Problems We See in Loomis Homes

• Propane pressure drops on rural acreage parcels. Underground propane tanks in Loomis’s oak-studded foothill terrain can lose pressure in hard freezes, causing furnaces to fail ignition even when the tank reads half-full. We check regulator function and line sizing as part of every propane service call.
• Attic ductwork degradation in 1970s–1990s custom builds. Original flex duct in Loomis homes was rarely insulated to modern standards, and decades in 140°F attic summers have collapsed the R-value. Your furnace runs longer, bills climb, and rooms never reach setpoint. We identify this on inspection calls constantly.
• Ignitor failure after summer idle. Hot surface ignitors on 15–25 year old furnaces crack from thermal stress when they finally fire after five months of disuse. We replace dozens every October in Loomis as systems wake up for the first cold night.
• Heat pump sizing mismatches on dual-fuel conversions. Loomis’s combination of 105°F summer peaks and sub-freezing winter lows means heat pump capacity must be honestly calculated for both extremes, not just the cooling load. Undersized backup heat strips leave you cold; oversized compressors short-cycle and fail early.
