Most residential furnace installations are completed in 1 day (6-10 hours). This includes professional load calculation, ductwork inspection, old furnace removal, new furnace installation, all connections (gas, electrical, venting), system testing, and homeowner training. Complex installations requiring ductwork modifications or electrical upgrades may take 2 days.

Furnace sizing depends on your home's square footage, insulation quality, window efficiency, and Portland's climate zone. Our NATE-certified technicians perform professional Manual J load calculations to determine the exact BTU output needed. Proper sizing is critical - oversized furnaces waste energy and cycle frequently, while undersized units can't maintain comfort. A typical Portland home (1,500-2,000 sq ft) needs 60,000-80,000 BTU.

Consider replacement if your furnace is over 15 years old, repair costs exceed 50% of replacement cost, you're experiencing frequent breakdowns, energy bills are rising, or you have uneven heating. Modern high-efficiency furnaces (90-98% AFUE) can reduce heating costs by 20-40% compared to older models. Our technicians provide honest repair vs. replacement assessments and will never push unnecessary replacements.

AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) measures how efficiently a furnace converts fuel to heat. An 80% AFUE furnace converts 80% of fuel to heat (20% lost through venting). A 95% AFUE furnace converts 95% to heat (only 5% waste). For a Portland home spending $1,000/year on heating, upgrading from 80% to 95% AFUE saves approximately $187 annually. High-efficiency furnaces also provide quieter operation, better humidity control, and qualify for rebates.
