Furnace Installation in Great Falls That Delivers Long-Term Comfort

At Northern Heating & Cooling, we specialize in expert furnace installation in Great Falls, helping homeowners and businesses throughout Cascade County upgrade to systems that work better, last longer, and save energy.



We provide free estimates, handle the entire installation process, and make sure your new furnace is perfectly matched to your space, your usage, and Montana’s unpredictable winters.

We perform accurate load calculations, recommend properly sized equipment, and install your new system with clean, professional workmanship.


Whether you're replacing a 25-year-old gas furnace in Fox Farm or building a new home in West Hill, we tailor our installation to your needs. Need a second opinion? If your current system has been acting up, we’ll let you know if a repair is still possible or if a replacement is the smarter long-term choice. (Visit our Furnace Repair page to learn more.)

How to Choose the Right Furnace for Your Great Falls Home

Not all furnaces are built the same—and not all homes in Cascade County need the same system. Our experts help you sort through options like:

Gas Furnaces

A popular, cost-effective option for most homes

Electric Furnaces

Better for homes without natural gas access

High-Efficiency Furnaces

ENERGY STAR® models with 90–98% AFUE ratings

We’ll explain the differences in performance, price, and long-term savings. Live in a draftier historic home near downtown Great Falls? We’ll factor that in. Upgrading from an older oil or boiler system? We’ll walk you through what to expect.



Want to maximize energy efficiency? Pair your new furnace with a smart thermostat to better control temperature and cut down on energy use.
