Who do I call for furnace repair in Missoula, MT?

Call ProCare Climate at 406-546-1289, any time, day or night. We repair furnaces for homes and businesses in Missoula and across Western Montana, and we explain what's wrong and what your options are before any work begins.

My furnace stopped working. What should I check before I call?

Check three things first: the thermostat is set to Heat with working batteries, the furnace power switch and breaker are on, and the air filter isn't clogged. If the heat still won't come on, call 406-546-1289, any time. If you ever smell gas, leave the home right away and call your gas utility or 911 first.

How much does furnace or HVAC repair cost?

It depends on what's wrong, so we don't guess at a price without seeing your system. We'll diagnose the problem and walk you through what's needed and your options before any work begins. Call 406-546-1289 to get started.

How much does a new furnace, boiler, heat pump or AC system cost?

It depends on your home or building, the type of system and what's already in place. That's why ProCare Climate offers free install estimates: you get a price for your specific project before you decide. Call 406-546-1289 or request a free install estimate.

Yes. Free install estimates are available for new furnaces, boilers, heat pumps and air conditioners. Call 406-546-1289, email jeremy@procareclimate.com, or request a free install estimate on our website.

What brands do you work on?

All of them. We service and repair every brand of furnace, boiler, heat pump and air conditioner, major or not. Just call 406-546-1289 and tell us what you have.

Do you do boiler installation and repair?

Yes. We install, repair and service boilers and hydronic (hot-water) heating for homes and businesses in Missoula and Western Montana. Whether you're replacing an aging boiler or adding new hydronic heat, we focus on clean, careful installs built to last.

Do heat pumps work in Western Montana's cold winters?

Yes. Modern cold-climate heat pumps are built to keep heating at very low outdoor temperatures, and they cool your home in summer too. On the coldest nights some homes pair a heat pump with a furnace or boiler as backup, called a hybrid or dual-fuel setup. We'll look at your home and tell you honestly which approach fits.

Should I replace my furnace with a heat pump?

Maybe. A cold-climate heat pump can replace a furnace or work alongside it, and it adds air conditioning. Whether it's the right move depends on your home, your ductwork and your energy costs. We'll walk you through the trade-offs honestly during a free install estimate.

Do you install ductless mini-split heat pumps?

Yes. Ductless mini-splits are a good fit for homes without ductwork, additions, garages and shops. They give efficient heating and cooling room by room. We'll size and place the indoor units during a free install estimate.

What's the best cold-climate heating option for my home?

There's no single best system. A furnace, a boiler or a cold-climate heat pump can each be the right choice. The answer depends on your home's size and insulation, whether you have ductwork or hydronic piping, and which fuels are available. We'll compare the options for your home during a free install estimate.

Do you install air conditioning in Missoula?

Yes. We install central air conditioning and heat pumps that cool homes and businesses throughout Missoula and Western Montana, sized right for your space. Missoula summers are getting hotter, and a properly sized system keeps you comfortable through heat waves and smoke season.

How often should my furnace or HVAC system be serviced?

Once a year. In Montana, schedule a heating check in early fall before the first cold snap and a cooling check in spring. Annual maintenance catches small problems early and keeps your system running reliably.

What are signs my furnace or boiler needs repair?

Watch for uneven heating, strange noises, short cycling, rising energy bills, a yellow burner flame, or a system that won't start. If you notice any of these, call 406-546-1289. If you ever smell gas, leave the home right away and call your gas utility or 911 first.

How do I know if I should repair or replace my heating system?

Repair usually makes sense when the system is in good shape overall and the fix is minor. Replacement is worth considering when the system is older, needs frequent repairs, or no longer keeps you comfortable. We'll give you an honest assessment of both, with no pressure either way.

Can you help with indoor air quality?

Yes. We install and service better filtration, fresh-air ventilation (ERVs and HRVs), whole-home humidifiers and other air quality upgrades that work with your HVAC system. They help with wildfire smoke, winter inversions and dry Montana air. Read our guide to indoor air quality options in Missoula.

Are there rebates for new heat pumps or high-efficiency systems in Montana?

Sometimes. Utility, manufacturer and government incentives vary by equipment and change often. Ask us about current rebates when you book your free install estimate.
