Common FAQs about Replacing Your Furnace
Q: How much does a furnace replacement or dual system cost in Portland?
A: Portland homeowners frequently report costs ranging broadly—from $6,500 for a stand-alone natural gas furnace, to $13,000–$20,000 for combined heat pump and furnace systems.
Q: Should I consider installing a heat pump instead—or in addition to a furnace?
A: Many Portland homeowners explore heat pumps, often bundled with furnace upgrades, especially for improved efficiency and climate adaptability.
Q: When is it time to replace rather than repair a furnace?

Q: Is it okay to buy my own furnace and hire out the installation?
A: Some DIY-savvy Portlanders only purchase the unit and contract licensed professionals for gas hookup and installation, potentially saving on markups.
Q: Are the prices I’m getting—like $12k—reasonable, or should I question them?

Portland Furnace Replacement: Complete Buying Guide
Is your furnace struggling to heat your home through another damp Portland winter?

With PGE rates among Oregon’s highest and natural gas prices fluctuating, choosing the right replacement furnace impacts your budget for the next 15-20 years.
Signs You Need Furnace Replacement in Portland
| Warning Sign | What It Means | Action Needed |
|---|---|---|
| Age 15+ Years | Efficiency below 80% AFUE, parts harder to find | Start planning replacement |
| Repairs Over $500 | Major components failing (heat exchanger, blower motor) | Apply $5,000 rule* |
| Rising Energy Bills | 20-30% increase despite similar usage | Compare replacement savings |
| Uneven Heating | Some rooms are cold, others too warm | The system can’t maintain comfort |
| Yellow Flame | Should be blue; indicates CO risk | Immediate replacement needed |
*The $5,000 Rule: Multiply repair cost by furnace age. If over $5,000, replace. Example: $400 repair × 16-year-old furnace = $6,400. Time to replace.
Furnace Types for Portland Homes
| Type | Best For | Efficiency | Cost Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gas – Standard | Budget-conscious homeowners | 80% AFUE | $3,000-$4,500 |
| Gas – High Efficiency | Most Portland homes | 90-95% AFUE | $4,500-$6,500 |
| Gas – Ultra High | Maximum savings, larger homes | 96-98% AFUE | $6,500-$8,500 |
| Electric | Homes without gas access | 100% AFUE | $2,500-$4,000 |
| Heat Pump | Dual heating/cooling needs | 200-300% efficient | $4,000-$7,000 |
Portland Recommendation: 90-95% AFUE gas furnaces offer the best value for our climate (35-45°F winters). Higher efficiency pays off with our 5-month heating season.
Choosing the Right Size (BTU Requirements)
Proper sizing prevents short cycling and ensures optimal comfort. Portland’s moderate climate with high humidity requires careful calculation:
| Home Size | BTU Range | Typical Portland Needs |
|---|---|---|
| 1,000-1,500 sq ft | 40,000-60,000 | Older Portland homes, minimal insulation |
| 1,500-2,000 sq ft | 60,000-80,000 | Average metro homes, standard insulation |
| 2,000-2,500 sq ft | 80,000-100,000 | Newer construction, sound insulation |
| 2,500-3,000 sq ft | 100,000-120,000 | Large homes, multiple levels |
Critical: Professional load calculation required. Portland’s humidity and temperature swings affect sizing differently than national averages.
