Types of Heating Systems We Service

Our team works with all major furnace types found in Santa Fe homes and businesses. We’re trained to diagnose, install, and maintain the full range of systems to match your comfort and efficiency needs.

Gas Furnaces

Gas furnaces are among the most common heating systems in New Mexico, offering reliable, cost-effective comfort through natural gas heating or propane furnace options. CaitCo specializes in gas furnace installation and services, including:

  • Conventional single-stage units
  • High-efficiency condensing models
  • Modulating and two-stage furnaces for precise heating control

We explain AFUE ratings (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency), help you choose the right BTU output, and ensure proper gas line connections and venting.

Electric Furnaces

Electric heating systems are a great option for homes without access to natural gas. These systems use electric resistance coils to generate heat and are known for their lower upfront installation costs and quieter operation. CaitCo provides complete electric furnace repair, maintenance, and replacement services for residential and commercial properties.

We service electric heating systems of all sizes and offer:

  • Installation and replacement of electric furnaces
  • Efficiency checks and thermostat calibration
  • Upgrades to heat pump or dual-fuel configurations when appropriate

Whether you’re installing a new system or need fast, reliable electric furnace repair, CaitCo ensures safe operation and long-term performance.

Heat Pumps

Heat pump systems are ideal for mild to moderate winter climates like Santa Fe, but during extreme cold snaps, they may struggle to keep up. That’s where a dual-fuel heating system shines—it uses your heat pump as the primary source, then automatically switches to a gas furnace when temperatures drop below a set point. This ensures both comfort and energy efficiency year-round.

We install and service:

  • Air-source and mini-split systems
  • Dual-fuel systems (paired with gas furnaces for extra cold spells)
  • Smart thermostat compatibility for efficiency gains

Radiant Heating Systems

Radiant floor heating delivers even, comfortable warmth by circulating heat from the ground up through hot water tubes or electric coils beneath your flooring. This type of system provides consistent temperatures with virtually no airflow, making it ideal for allergy-sensitive environments.

CaitCo specializes in both electric radiant systems and hydronic heating systems, which use heated water to warm floors efficiently and quietly. Our radiant heating services include:

  • Hydronic heating system installation, maintenance, and repair
  • In-floor tubing inspections and pressure testing
  • Zoning setup for room-by-room temperature control and energy savings

Whether you’re installing a new radiant system or upgrading an older one, we ensure safe, reliable performance designed for Santa Fe’s climate.

The highest quality services

Furnace Installation Services

A successful furnace upgrade starts with correct sizing. Improper sizing is one of the most common causes of inefficiency and system failure. If your unit is too small, it will overwork. If it’s too large, it will short-cycle and waste energy. That’s why we begin every new furnace installation with a full evaluation of your home’s square footage, insulation, and sun exposure to ensure you get the ideal fit.

Whether you’re building a new home or considering a heating system replacement, our process includes:

  • Detailed home evaluation and load calculation for accurate sizing
  • Removal and safe disposal of your old unit
  • Installation of high-efficiency models that meet building code and rebate requirements
  • Clear timelines, jobsite cleanup, and post-installation inspection
  • Manufacturer warranties and flexible financing options

We work with trusted brands known for performance in Santa Fe’s climate and guarantee your home is warm, safe, and energy-efficient before we leave.

Furnace Repairs

Signs Your Furnace Needs Repair

Noticing unusual behavior from your heating system? These are some of the most common furnace repair signs that your unit may be struggling or failing.

Watch for these heating system problems:

  • Cold air blowing instead of heat
  • Inconsistent temperatures or hot/cold spots
  • Frequent cycling or random shutdowns
  • Higher energy bills without a change in usage
  • A yellow pilot light, which may indicate a combustion issue
  • Thermostat not responding properly

If you’re seeing any of these symptoms, it’s time to schedule a professional furnace inspection. Catching these issues early helps you maintain comfort, avoid major repairs, and extend the life of your system.

Safety

Furnace Safety

Carbon monoxide prevention is a critical part of safe heating in any home. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that can be deadly if left undetected. During every furnace safety inspection, we test CO levels, check for cracked heat exchangers, and ensure flue systems are clear and functioning properly, since these are the most common causes of dangerous leaks. We also recommend installing low-level CO detectors near all sleeping areas to ensure early detection and peace of mind.

Our safety process includes:

  • CO detection and ventilation checks
  • Inspection of flue, combustion chamber, and heat exchanger
  • Verification of required safety shutoff controls
  • Advice on when to replace systems for safety reasons
  • Recommendations for carbon monoxide detectors

Stay warm and safe all winter with our expert guidance.

Emergency Furnace Repair in Santa Fe

No heat in the middle of winter? CaitCo offers 24/7 emergency furnace repair services across Santa Fe. We understand that heating emergencies can’t wait, which is why we prioritize same-day service with fast response times, even on nights and weekends.

Heating emergencies include:

  • No warm air coming from vents
  • Carbon monoxide alerts
  • Burning smells or smoke
  • Elderly or medically sensitive occupants in freezing conditions

Until help arrives, turn off your furnace if it’s overheating, check your thermostat, and avoid using space heaters in enclosed rooms.
