Variable Speed Furnace Repair, Installation, & Service in Boise, ID

Are you tired of loud, unreliable heating and constant temperature swings in your home? A modern variable speed furnace is the ultimate solution for year-round, reliable comfort and significant energy savings. At Drake Mechanical, we provide expert variable speed furnace installation, repair, and maintenance services across the entire Treasure Valley. Say goodbye to high utility bills and cold spots and discover the whisper-quiet, high-efficiency performance of a modern heating system.

Upgrade to Consistent Comfort and Energy Savings

Modern variable speed furnaces feature an advanced ECM blower motor, using up to 80% less electricity than older units—often less than a 100-watt light bulb. This technology provides longer, gentler heating cycles, which not only eliminates hot and cold spots but also improves your home’s air quality by allowing for better air filtration. Trust our highly trained technicians, who have been fixing furnaces since 1909, to help you select the perfect system, including reliable Ruud variable speed models, for your family’s needs.

Frequently Asked Questions About AC Repair

How quickly can Drake Mechanical respond to an AC repair call?

We offer same-day service whenever possible and 24/7 emergency availability. When you call, a live person answers — not a voicemail.

Do you service all AC brands and models?

Yes. Our certified technicians are trained to service all makes and models, from older central air systems to modern ductless units. We’re also a Comfortmaker Elite Dealer for installations and new equipment.

What causes an AC to stop blowing cold air?

The most common culprits are low refrigerant, a dirty filter restricting airflow, a frozen evaporator coil, or a failing compressor. A technician can pinpoint the exact cause in most cases during a single visit.

How much does AC repair cost in Boise?

Costs vary depending on the issue. Minor repairs typically run $150–$400, mid-range repairs $400–$900, and major work can exceed $1,000. We always provide upfront pricing before starting any work.

Is it better to repair or replace my AC?

It depends on the age of the system, the cost of the repair, and how frequently it’s been breaking down. Our technicians will give you an honest assessment with no pressure either way.

Do you offer financing for AC repairs or replacements?

Yes — we offer financing with $0 down and monthly payments starting at $35/month. Ask your technician or visit our website to get started.
