Eastside Furnace Repair for Rockwood, Powell Valley & Pleasant Valley Homes
East winds from the Gorge hit Gresham first. When temperatures dive and your 20-year-old furnace locks out, you need a local team that understands eastside homes. We've kept Rockwood, Powell Valley, Pleasant Valley, Centennial, and Gresham Butte families warm since 2008, handling everything from cracked heat exchangers to ductless heat pump upgrades.
Our technicians see the full spectrum of Gresham heating systems—gravity furnaces in historic Rockwood homes, propane heaters in unincorporated Multnomah County, and high-efficiency ECM units in Pleasant Valley. We stock the inducer motors, ignition controls, smart thermostats, and gas valves most likely to fail during a freeze so we can restore heat in a single visit.
Gresham Neighborhoods We Keep Warm
From downtown shops to the hills above the city, our furnace crews understand how Gresham’s geography and housing stock affect heating performance:
Rockwood
Rockwood homeowners often rely on furnaces installed 20–30 years ago. We replace cracked heat exchangers, upgrade unsafe gravity systems, and offer zero-interest financing to help families transition to 96%+ AFUE furnaces or ductless heat pumps.
Powell Valley
Mid-century ranch homes in Powell Valley frequently experience ignition control issues thanks to damp winters. We carry OEM igniters, hot surface assemblies, and condensate pumps to keep these furnaces running when east winds hit.
Pleasant Valley
Newer Pleasant Valley developments use high-efficiency furnaces paired with smart thermostats. Our technicians optimize zoning, integrate Ecobee or Nest controls, and perform annual maintenance to protect manufacturer warranties.
Centennial & Hollybrook
Centennial homes often operate with original 1990s furnaces and undersized ductwork. We balance airflow, upgrade blower motors, and design replacements that qualify for Energy Trust rebates and cut utility bills.
Gresham Butte
Elevated properties on Gresham Butte face colder winds and higher heating loads. We deliver properly sized 2-stage furnaces or dual-fuel systems capable of heating hillside homes efficiently.
What Gresham Homeowners Say
“We woke up to 48°F inside our Rockwood home during the January freeze. Efficiency Heating arrived within an hour, safely red-tagged the cracked heat exchanger, and installed a new high-efficiency furnace the same day. They handled the Energy Trust rebate paperwork too.”
— Denise W., Rockwood, Gresham
“Our Pleasant Valley furnace kept shutting down on chilly evenings. The technician replaced the flame sensor, cleaned the inducer, and recalibrated our smart thermostat so the zones heat evenly now. Eastside service done right.”
— Marcel G., Pleasant Valley, Gresham
Recent Gresham Furnace Replacement Success
Location: Centennial neighborhood ranch home near SE 182nd Avenue
Problem: A 20-year-old 80% AFUE furnace developed a cracked heat exchanger and kept tripping the carbon monoxide alarm during a cold snap.
Solution: We safely shut down the furnace, installed a 96% AFUE Lennox replacement with upgraded return air, and added a smart thermostat eligible for PGE rebates. We also sealed leaky supply ducts feeding the bedrooms.
Result: Heat was restored the same day. The homeowner received $1,200 in Energy Trust incentives and now saves an estimated $800 per year on natural gas while enjoying quieter, even heat.

We dispatch from the eastside, reaching most Gresham neighborhoods within 45–90 minutes. Emergency crews remain on call overnight during severe weather.
Why are Gresham winters colder than westside Portland?
Gresham sits closer to the Columbia Gorge and experiences stronger east winds, so temperatures run 2–4°F colder than Beaverton or Tigard.

Yes, permits are required. We work directly with the City of Gresham Building Division to secure permits and schedule inspections.
