Why Homeowners in Boardman, OH Trust Us

D&G has been my go to company since purchasing our home in 2021! They are always pleasant, dependable, and have been able to get us an appointment within a day or 2! They've been out every year to fix our 35 year old system, but we finally gave in and had it replaced. They were able to fit us in 4 days after signing the contract, and the workers were very efficient, pleasant, and knowledgeable!

Wow, I can’t say enough about D&G Mechanical. Last year I was in need of replacing my A/C unit. I contacted them and the sales representative came out to quote the replacement. He listened to what I had to say then quoted the unit. The price was so good I upgraded the heating unit as well. Then the installation team came for the install. These guys worked as a team.

In the middle of summer our AC went out completely . D&G not only responded quickly with the best estimate quote, we also replaced and updated our furnace as well. They ordered everything, scheduled our installation and expected to wait but a rew days only because they had a cancelation on a stalled construction and showed up the next morning and by the afternoon we had AC again.

D&G Mechanical has been our HVAC maintenance and repair contractor for decades. Prior to the summer season, we decided to replace and upgrade both our air conditioner, furnace and air filtering. Naturally we got quotes for this upgrade. As we anticipated, D&G came through with the best price for the type of air conditioner, heating and air filtering system we desired.

Our heat pump, air and furnace quit unexpectantly in July 2026. D&G came right out, gave us an estimate. They came out and removed the old and replaced everything with a new one. They clean up after themselves, explain everything, are very professional and polite and very reasonable. We only use D&G as no one else compares.

Showed up on time of meeting for estimate. All employees were very professional, knowledgeable and did great work. Definitely would keep this company as my go to for all HVAC maintenance and install. Thanks for the great work

What Is the Average Lifespan of a Furnace

A furnace typically lasts 15 to 20 years, but equipment installed in a breezeway or garage-adjacent closet in Boardman homes often faces more temperature extremes than a furnace in a fully conditioned basement space. Those swings between a heated home and a cold garage put extra strain on components like the ignition system and blower motor, which can shorten the furnace’s usable life compared to a more sheltered installation.

This part of the Mahoning Valley also sees its share of freezing rain events that coat exterior surfaces in ice rather than the deep snowdrifts more common a bit further north. Ice buildup on an exterior vent can restrict airflow in ways that are easy to miss until the furnace starts struggling. A furnace already reaching the end of its expected lifespan combined with this kind of exposure is usually a strong case for replacement.

Choosing the Right Furnace for Your Home

D & G Mechanical installs gas, oil, electric, and dual fuel furnace systems throughout Boardman, and we account for equipment location just as much as square footage when recommending a replacement. For furnaces set up near an attached garage, we look at whether additional insulation or a different vent placement would help protect the new system from the same temperature swings that wore down the old one.

We also inspect ductwork condition closely, since many Boardman homes have had basements finished into family rooms over the years without the original duct system being reassessed. Balancing airflow to match how the home is actually used today often resolves comfort issues that have lingered for a long time. Once the new furnace is installed, we walk through what upkeep will look like going forward.

Benefits of Installing a New Furnace

Replacing an aging furnace located near an attached garage often brings a level of reliability that older equipment in that spot struggled to maintain, especially during Boardman’s coldest stretches and ice-prone weather. Homeowners frequently notice the system holding a steady temperature more consistently instead of falling behind during sudden cold snaps.

A properly matched furnace also tends to run more efficiently than older equipment that was working against constant temperature swings, which often shows up as a real reduction in monthly heating costs. Quieter operation and fewer repair calls in the years immediately after installation round out the benefits for many Boardman households.

Inside a Typical Service Visit

A homeowner named Barbara in the Glenwood area called us after an ice storm left her furnace struggling to keep up for several days straight. Her furnace sat in a small closet just off the attached garage, and years of exposure to that colder space had worn down the ignition system faster than a more sheltered unit would have experienced. The recent ice on her exterior vent had made things worse, restricting airflow right when she needed the furnace most.

We installed a new furnace in the same location, added extra insulation around the closet, and adjusted the vent placement to reduce future ice buildup. The work was finished in a single day, and Barbara said the house held its temperature far more evenly during the next cold spell. It’s a situation we see fairly often in Boardman, where garage-adjacent furnace closets face a tougher environment than most people realize.
