Residential Heating

Keep Your Home Warm With HVAC Service You Can Rely On

When the coastal chill sets in, a reliable heating system is essential to your home’s comfort and safety. At SMI HVAC Services, we provide professional heating services to homeowners throughout Santa Maria, Santa Barbara County, and nearby communities. Whether you need a seasonal tune-up, fast furnace repair, or a full system replacement, we deliver service with skill and integrity — no pushy sales tactics, no shortcuts.



As a family- and minority-owned company, we believe in treating every homeowner with respect. From large estate homes to smaller senior residences, we customize our approach based on your needs, your system, and your goals.

Full-Service Residential Heating Solutions

We service a wide range of heating systems, from standard residential units to commercial-grade equipment installed in large homes. Our heating services include:

Heating Installation & Replacement

When your current system is no longer keeping up — or it’s time to upgrade to a more efficient model — we provide full-service installation. We help you select the right heating solution for your home based on:

  • Square footage
  • Insulation and window placement
  • Number of floors or zones
  • Existing ductwork and HVAC infrastructure
  • Budget and energy-efficiency goals


We install:

  • Gas furnaces
  • Electric heating systems
  • Heat pumps
  • Dual fuel systems
  • High-capacity units for large residential estates


Every installation includes a performance test and a full walkthrough of your new system — no guesswork, no confusion.

Heating Repair

If your heater is struggling to maintain temperature or showing signs of malfunction, we’ll respond quickly to restore heat and safety. Common issues we diagnose and repair include:



  • Pilot light or ignition failure
  • Loud noises or rattling during operation
  • Poor airflow from vents
  • Frequent cycling on and off
  • Thermostat problems
  • Gas smells or high utility bills
  • Uneven temperatures between rooms


Our technicians arrive on time, explain the issue clearly, and perform only the work that’s necessary — never more.

Seasonal Heating Maintenance

Routine maintenance keeps your system efficient and helps avoid mid-season breakdowns. Our heating tune-ups include:



  • Full system inspection
  • Cleaning of burners and heat exchangers
  • Filter replacement
  • Thermostat calibration
  • Electrical component testing
  • Carbon monoxide safety checks


We recommend a heating tune-up every fall, before the cold season begins.

Specialized Heating for Large Homes

Some homeowners operate larger residences or custom estates that require more than standard residential equipment. These homes often use:



  • Commercial-grade furnaces or heat pumps
  • Multi-zone heating systems
  • Complex ductwork or hybrid units


We are fully trained and equipped to service these systems. We understand the importance of sizing, zoning, and efficient system design in large homes — and we take the time to do it right.

Supportive Service for Senior Homeowners

We’re proud to serve many senior clients across Santa Maria and surrounding areas. Our approach is always respectful and pressure-free. We take the time to explain:



  • What the problem is
  • Why it needs repair (if it does)
  • What the options are (repair vs. replacement)
  • How to use your system safely and efficiently


We never push unnecessary upgrades. We focus on solutions that are safe, effective, and fair.

 Signs Your Heating System Needs Service

Watch for the following symptoms that could indicate a problem with your heater:


  • Cold air blowing from vents
  • Uneven heating between rooms or floors
  • System taking too long to warm your space
  • Odd smells when the heat turns on
  • Frequent resets or tripped breakers
  • Older system (15+ years) showing declining performance


If you’re experiencing any of these issues, we can perform a full system evaluation and explain your next steps clearly.

FTL Financing Available

If your heating system needs replacement — or you’re facing a repair that exceeds your current budget — we offer FTL Financing for qualified homeowners. This makes it easier to move forward with necessary upgrades without delaying your comfort or compromising on quality.



Our team can assist with the financing application and help you select a payment plan that fits your needs.
