Furnace Installation — Book a Visit Today
We install and replace gas furnaces for homeowners across Oregon and Washington, including high-efficiency upgrades when an older unit is at the end of its life. Furnaces usually get replaced for a cracked heat exchanger, a failed inducer or control board on a system too old to justify parts, short cycling that no repair settles, or rooms that never reach temperature because the original unit was sized wrong. A visit starts with measuring the house, checking duct and vent conditions, looking at gas line and electrical supply, and talking through what the current system actually does badly. We then quote sizing and equipment in writing. Call us to book an in-home assessment, and if you ever smell gas, leave the building and call 911 or your gas utility first.

The furnace installation symptoms we hear most
- The furnace runs and runs and the house still feels cold Undersized or worn equipment, duct losses, failing burners
- It kicks on, runs two minutes, shuts off, over and over Short cycling from oversizing, limit switch trips, airflow restriction
- A technician told us the heat exchanger is cracked Cracked heat exchanger, combustion safety, replacement territory
- Our furnace is past twenty years old and parts are hard to find End-of-life equipment, obsolete control board or inducer
- Upstairs bakes while the back bedroom stays freezing Wrong sizing, duct design, poor distribution

Safe things to check first
Worth a look before you call — sometimes it saves you the visit.
- 1Check the thermostat: fresh batteries, set to heat, and the target temperature above the room temperature.
- 2Look at the breaker panel for a tripped breaker on the furnace or air handler circuit and the furnace service switch being on.
- 3Pull the filter and change it if it is grey and loaded. A choked filter causes limit trips and uneven heat.
- 4Walk the house and confirm supply and return vents are open and not blocked by furniture or rugs.

How do I know whether to repair or replace my furnace?
Age, the cost of the failed part, and safety drive it. A cracked heat exchanger or a failed control board on a twenty-year-old unit usually points to replacement. We give you both options with the numbers and let you decide.
How long does a furnace installation take?
Most straight swaps in a similar location run one day. Adding venting changes, moving the unit, reworking a plenum, or upgrading gas or electrical supply can push it into a second day. We tell you which before we start.
Will you size the new furnace or just match what is there?
We measure and calculate. Matching the old nameplate repeats whatever mistake the last installer made, and oversized furnaces short cycle and leave rooms uneven. Sizing accounts for square footage, insulation, windows, and how your ducts actually run.
Is a high-efficiency furnace worth the upgrade?
Often yes, though it depends on your ducts, venting route, and how much heating you actually use. High-efficiency units need a condensate drain and different venting, so we check whether your house supports it before recommending one.
Do you handle the gas line and venting work?
Yes, gas connections, venting, and combustion air are part of the installation. None of that is homeowner work. If you ever smell gas, leave the building, call 911 or your gas utility, then call us.
Can I keep my existing thermostat and ductwork?
Sometimes. Many thermostats carry over fine, though a variable-speed furnace may need a compatible control. We inspect ducts for leaks, crushed sections, and undersized returns, and tell you what needs attention to make the new furnace perform.
How it works
- Step 1
Tell us the symptom
Call or fill in the quote form. Describe the noise, the smell, the temperature, and when it started. That detail helps us bring the right parts and gives you an honest idea of the visit ahead.
- Step 2
We diagnose on site
A technician checks the thermostat, airflow, electrical connections, refrigerant behaviour and the outdoor unit. We tell you what failed and why, in plain language, before anyone reaches for a part or a price.
- Step 3
You choose the repair
We lay out the fix, any parts on order, and what happens if you wait. Once you agree, we do the work and confirm the system holds temperature before we pack up and leave.

Why homeowners call us
- Heat pumps are our normalIn this region heat pumps outnumber furnaces, so defrost boards, reversing valves and short cycling in wet weather are everyday work for us. We know how these systems behave in a cold December rain, not just on a test bench.
- Wet winter defrost problemsIce on the outdoor coil, a unit that runs and runs without warming the house, puddles that refreeze under the pad. We trace whether it is a sensor, a stuck valve, drainage, or airflow, then fix the actual cause.
- Filtration after smoke seasonWildfire smoke turned indoor air quality into a real conversation here. We look at filter fit, return sizing and IAQ options that your blower can actually push air through, rather than choking the system with the wrong media.
- We explain before we chargeYou get the diagnosis, the options and the trade-offs before work starts. If a repair is not worth it on an old system, we say so. No pressure, no jargon dumped on you at the door.
