Heating Systems We Handle

Our team is adept at assisting with a wide variety of heating systems, ensuring your comfort throughout the colder months. From traditional gas furnaces to modern solutions, our technicians have the knowledge and experience to provide expert service. We stay updated on the latest technology and methods in heating system maintenance, repair, and installation, enabling us to adeptly address the unique needs of each system type.

Our Missoula heating services include expert assistance with:

Furnaces. Furnaces draw in cold air from your home, clean it through an air filter, and then heat it using a gas burner or electric heating element. This warmed air is then distributed throughout your home via ductwork. Maintenance is crucial for the efficiency and longevity of your furnace. Our team specializes in both preventive maintenance and repairs, ensuring that your furnace operates at peak efficiency. We also offer inspections to diagnose and rectify potential issues before they escalate, saving you from costly repairs down the line. With our comprehensive understanding of various furnace systems, whether you're dealing with an older model or the latest technology, we're equipped to provide the support you need.
Boilers. Boilers heat water, creating steam or hot water that is circulated through pipes to radiators or radiant floor systems in various rooms. This method of heating provides a comfortable, even warmth, as the heat from the steam or hot water raises the ambient temperature as it is released into a room. Our team possesses extensive experience with boiler systems and can meet your installation, repair, and maintenance needs. We understand the importance of keeping your boiler system in top condition to ensure it provides warmth and comfort efficiently throughout the colder months. Whether you're using a traditional gas boiler, an oil-fired system, or a modern condensing boiler, you can count on us for expert advice and professional service to maintain your equipment's performance and extend its lifespan.
Heat pumps. Unlike traditional heating systems that generate heat, heat pumps work by transferring heat from the outside air or ground into your home during winter and reversing the process to cool your home during summer. This dual functionality not only makes heat pumps an economical choice but also environmentally friendly due to their lower greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional heating methods. Our team has extensive experience in the installation, maintenance, and repair of heat pumps. We can ensure that your heat pump system is optimized for efficiency and comfort regardless of the season. By performing regular maintenance checks and swiftly addressing any issues, we can help extend the lifespan of your heat pump system and keep it running smoothly.
Ductless systems. Ductless heating systems, also known as mini-split systems, provide a flexible and efficient way to heat your home. They transfer heat from the outside air into your home in the winter and vice versa during the summer, much like heat pumps. However, because they do not require ductwork, they offer enhanced installation flexibility and efficiency, especially in homes without existing ductwork. Our professionals are fully equipped to assist with every aspect of ductless heating systems, from determining the best placement and configuration for your specific needs to professional installation and routine maintenance.
Geothermal systems. Geothermal heating systems harness the dependable temperature of the earth a few feet below the surface to heat and cool your home. During the winter, a geothermal system absorbs heat stored in the ground through a loop of buried pipes and transfers this heat into your home. Our technicians have the expertise to assist you with geothermal heating systems, from the initial design and installation to ongoing maintenance and repairs. We understand the intricacies of sizing and installing the ground loop correctly, ensuring optimal efficiency and performance of the system year-round. Whether you're interested in transitioning to a geothermal system or need professional service for an existing system, we're here to offer our knowledge and skills.

We install RUUD and Mitsubishi Electric heating and cooling systems and will do the work to find out exactly what your home or business may need. For geothermal options, we are a dealer of WaterFurnace products, which can provide great savings on your annual energy costs.

When you reach out to us for heater service Missoula homeowners can expect clear communication about which type of system is best for their property, whether that is a high-efficiency furnace for a home in the Rattlesnake area, a boiler system for a downtown Missoula bungalow, or a geothermal installation for a rural property outside city limits. We will walk through how each option performs in our mountain climate, talk about fuel availability and utility rates, and explain expected maintenance needs so you can choose a system that fits your comfort goals, energy budget, and long-term plans for the home.

Should I Repair or Replace My Montana Heating System?

Our qualified HVAC technicians at Anderson's Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing service and repair all makes and models of furnaces and heating systems. No matter the brand you currently have in your home, we can diagnose the problem and help you decide whether it makes more sense to repair or replace it. If your equipment is past its prime, our Missoula heating services include help finding and installing the right upgrade for your home.

It may make sense to replace your heating system if:

Your system is nearing the end of its service life. Most heating systems have a lifespan of 15 to 20 years. If your system is approaching or has exceeded this age range, it may be more prone to frequent breakdowns and less efficient operation. Upgrading to a newer model can provide enhanced efficiency and reliability.
Your energy bills are rising. An unexpected increase in your energy bills despite regular maintenance and repairs suggests your heating system is losing efficiency. Modern systems are far more energy-efficient, potentially reducing your energy costs significantly.

Your heating equipment needs frequent repairs. If you find yourself constantly calling for repairs, especially for critical components like the heat exchanger or control board, it may be more economical to invest in a new system rather than pay for frequent fixes.
You are dealing with inconsistent performance. Experiencing uneven heating with hot and cold spots in different areas of your home can indicate that your system is no longer capable of effectively distributing heat.
Your heating equipment is making excessive noise. Loud, unusual noises like banging, grinding, or whistling from your heating system can signal severe problems. While some issues may be repairable, in many cases, these noises suggest it's time for a replacement.
You are experiencing poor indoor air quality. An older heating system might struggle to maintain healthy indoor air quality, leading to increased dust, mold, or mildew in your home. Newer systems offer better humidity control and air filtration features.

Benefits of replacing an aging heating system include:

Lower energy costs
Greater efficiency
Improved indoor air quality
Peace of mind

When you are weighing repair versus replacement, we can also help you look at incentives that may be available for high-efficiency equipment through local utilities and statewide programs in Montana. During a visit, we will review the age of your current unit, recent repair history, and how well it is keeping up with the demands of winter in Missoula County, then present clear options with pricing so you can see the true cost of keeping an older system versus installing a new one. Our goal is to give you practical information about how long each option is likely to last and what it might mean for your energy bills, not to push you in one direction.

When to Service a Heating System in Montana

Montana experiences a wide range of temperatures throughout the year, including harsh, cold winters. To ensure your heating system is reliable and efficient, particularly during the winter months, we typically recommend scheduling a professional inspection and tune-up in early fall. This timing allows for a comprehensive check and necessary maintenance before the coldest temperatures arrive.

During this service, our professional technicians will clean components, check system operation, and address any repairs, ensuring your heating system is ready to handle Montana's winter temperatures with ease. Remember, regular servicing not only extends the life of your heating system and reduces the likelihood of breakdowns but also improves energy efficiency, leading to lower utility costs over time.

If you are unsure when your system was last checked, scheduling a visit with a trusted Missoula heating company before the first hard freeze is a smart way to avoid inconvenient breakdowns. We often catch issues like weak ignitors, dirty burners, or airflow problems during routine maintenance that, if left unaddressed, could cause a complete loss of heat on a frigid night. By planning ahead, you give us time to test safety controls, verify that your system is venting properly, and confirm that everything is operating safely for you and your family through the coldest stretches of the season.
