Overview
Heating Services Across Ruston & Monroe
When the temperature drops and the heat won't come on, you want the same honest, licensed crew you already trust for plumbing. Mark Johnson & Sons has kept North Louisiana homes warm since 1997 — gas and electric furnace repair, new system installation, heat pumps, boilers, ductwork, thermostats, and seasonal tune-ups, all under one roof.
No subcontractors. The tech who shows up is on our payroll and accountable to the job. Every quote is flat-rate and given before we touch a tool, so you know the price before we start — and the service call is waived when you have us do the repair.
What we service
- Furnace repair — gas and electric, no-heat and short-cycling calls, flame sensors, hot-surface igniters, blower motors and capacitors, inducer motors, gas valves, and control boards
- Furnace installation — right-sized 80% AFUE and 95%+ high-efficiency furnaces, load-calculated and code-compliant, from Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, York, American Standard, Bryant, and Amana
- Heat pumps — repair, replacement, and dual-fuel setups that pair a heat pump with gas backup for North Louisiana's mild-but-unpredictable winters
- Boilers — hydronic repair, circulator and pressure diagnostics, and full replacement
- Ductwork — sealing, repair, and replacement to kill cold rooms and cut bills in older homes with aging ducts
- Thermostats and radiant heat — smart and programmable thermostat installs, plus in-floor radiant systems
Repair vs. replace
If the furnace is under 12 years old and the repair is less than a third of replacement cost, we fix it. Past 15 years, on repeat breakdowns, or with a cracked heat exchanger, replacement is usually the smarter money. You get the honest math and a flat-rate quote on both — no pressure, no scare tactics.
Emergency heat and commercial
A sudden hard freeze is exactly when furnaces quit, so we answer live 24/7 and dispatch fast on no-heat emergencies. We also handle light-commercial rooftop and packaged units on scheduled and emergency contracts. Ask about our service savings agreement plans — a Fall heating tune-up and Spring AC tune-up from $189/year, plus 15% off repairs and front-of-line scheduling.

The Process
How a Heating Service Call Goes
On the truck
Professional tools, parts, and diagnostics — every call.
Call answered live, 24/7
No heat in a cold snap is an emergency to us. A real person answers, triages the symptom, and dispatches — day or night.
Full system diagnosis
Your tech checks the burners, heat exchanger, igniter, gas pressure, blower, and thermostat, then shows you the actual fault before quoting.
Flat-rate quote, safety first
You get the price up front. If we find a cracked heat exchanger or a carbon-monoxide risk, we tell you straight — and never upsell a repair you don't need.
Repair or install, done clean
Common parts ride on the truck for same-day repairs. New system installs are sized with a load calculation, not a guess.
Tested, permitted, warrantied
We verify safe operation, pull permits where required, register the manufacturer warranty, and back our labor in writing.
Pricing
How We Price Heating Work in North Louisiana
Flat-rate, quoted before we start — never hourly. An after-hours surcharge applies on nights, weekends, and holidays. Here's how we arrive at the number on a heating call.
Flat rate, quoted before we start
You get the full price for the job up front — not an hourly meter you watch climb. You approve it before a tool comes out of the truck.
The quote is the price
It doesn't move once work begins. If something unexpected turns up behind a wall or under a slab, we stop and talk it through with you before going further.
Service members save 15% on every repair
Service savings agreements start at $189 a year and take 15% off all plumbing, heating, and cooling repairs, with priority scheduling on every call. The Premium Service Savings Agreement Plan adds same-day service and drops after-hours charges entirely.
Financing available
Bigger jobs — a system replacement, a repipe, a sewer line — can be financed through GoodLeap. Apply online in a few minutes.
Every job is priced for your home and what it actually needs — tell us what's going on and we'll get you a firm number, free and with no obligation.

Furnace vs. Heat Pump for North Louisiana
In our mild winters both make sense — the right pick depends on your fuel, your existing system, and whether you want one unit to heat and cool.
| Feature | Gas Furnace | Heat Pump | Dual Fuel |
|---|---|---|---|
| How it heats | Burns natural gas or propane | Moves heat with electricity | Heat pump with gas backup |
| Best for | Homes with existing gas | All-electric homes, mild winters | Max efficiency in any weather |
| Also cools? | No — needs separate AC | Yes — heats and cools | Yes — heats and cools |
| Best efficiency | Up to 96% AFUE | Very high in mild climates | Highest year-round |

FAQ
Heating FAQs
Do you repair all furnace brands?
Yes. Our techs service every major gas and electric furnace brand — Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, York, American Standard, Bryant, and Amana. We carry common ignition, flame-sensor, and blower parts on the truck so most no-heat calls are fixed in a single visit.
How fast can you get out for no heat?
No-heat calls are a priority. Most get a same-day slot, and true emergencies — no heat in a hard freeze, a gas smell, or a safety lockout — get fast 24/7 dispatch, including weekends and holidays. Service members jump the line.
Should I repair or replace my furnace?
Rule of thumb: if the furnace is under 12 years old and the repair is less than a third of replacement cost, repair it. Older than 15 years, repeat breakdowns, or a cracked heat exchanger usually means replacement. We give you the honest math and a flat-rate quote on both — no pressure.
How much does furnace service cost?
The service call is a flat fee, waived when we do the repair. What a furnace repair costs comes down to the part — flame sensor, igniter, capacitor, or blower motor all sit at the affordable end. A new furnace install is quoted flat-rate after a load calculation, priced by size and efficiency.
Is a heat pump enough for North Louisiana winters?
For most of our area, yes — a properly sized heat pump handles the bulk of a mild North Louisiana winter efficiently. For homes that see the occasional hard freeze, we often recommend a dual-fuel setup that adds gas-furnace backup so you're never short on heat on the coldest nights. We'll size it to your home.
Do you offer heating maintenance plans?
Yes. The $189/year Service Savings Agreement Plan includes a complete Fall heating tune-up plus a Spring AC tune-up and an annual plumbing check-up, 15% off repairs, and priority scheduling. Regular maintenance is the cheapest way to avoid a no-heat emergency.
Can I replace a furnace myself?
We don't recommend it. Furnace replacement involves gas lines, venting, electrical, and combustion-safety checks, and Louisiana requires permits and inspection on the work. A bad install risks carbon monoxide and voids the manufacturer warranty. We pull the permit and leave it code-compliant.
Do you offer financing on a new furnace or heat pump?
Yes. We offer financing on qualifying furnace, heat pump, and boiler installations so a system replacement doesn't have to be paid all at once. Ask when you get your flat-rate quote and we'll walk you through the options and monthly numbers.
Are you licensed for heating work?
Yes — Mark Johnson & Sons is a licensed, insured North Louisiana contractor, and every tech is background-checked before hire. We pull permits where required and leave every install code-compliant.
What areas do you serve for heating?
Ruston, Monroe, West Monroe, Grambling, and the surrounding North Louisiana communities across Lincoln, Ouachita, and neighboring parishes. Same-day availability across most of the service area.
