Mike Sorensen's Local Furnace Work

Mike Sorensen started Boise Furnace Pros after years working on heating systems throughout the Treasure Valley. He built the business around the specific demands of Boise neighborhoods, from the tight mechanical closets and retrofitted ducting in North End and East End bungalows to the simultaneous aging of builder equipment in Meridian, Kuna, Star, and Middleton tract homes.

Treasure Valley winter inversions create sustained furnace operation rather than normal short cycles, which steadily loads the blower motor, heat exchanger, and control board in ways that accelerate wear on units never designed for days of continuous run time. In a 2006 Meridian tract home the original 80 percent furnace often lacks the airflow capacity and filtration needed once wildfire smoke seasons arrive and the wide daily temperature swings pull more moisture from already dry indoor air.

Natural gas service covers most of the valley while propane setups appear on rural edges, and Mike's team handles both with the same focus on matching equipment to these local conditions.

I started in the trade fixing retrofitted duct runs in North End and East End bungalows, where inversion stretches keep furnaces running without cycling for days at a time. After years handling propane orifices on rural properties around Star and Middleton plus the wave of 2000s tract furnaces now aging out in Meridian and Kuna, I opened Boise Furnace Pros to give direct advice on right-sizing instead of defaulting to bigger equipment. We also talk through filter schedules and fresh-air intake choices during wildfire smoke season and address hard-water scaling on condensate and humidifier parts. Open every day, any hour.
