Expert Furnace Replacement Services in Portland, OR

Furnace replacement in Portland ranges from $3,495 to $8,000 depending on efficiency rating (80-98% AFUE), size requirements, and installation complexity. Standard efficiency furnaces (80% AFUE) cost $3,495-$4,500. High efficiency (90-95% AFUE) cost $4,500-$6,500. Ultra-high efficiency (96-98% AFUE) cost $6,500-$8,000. Energy Trust rebates and financing options are available to help reduce costs.

Consider furnace replacement if your system is over 15 years old, repair costs exceed $1,500, you're experiencing frequent breakdowns (3+ per year), energy bills are rising 20-30%, you have uneven heating, or notice a yellow pilot flame. Use the $5,000 rule: multiply repair cost by furnace age - if over $5,000, replace. Modern high-efficiency furnaces can reduce heating costs by 20-40% in Portland's climate.

Portland homeowners may qualify for Energy Trust of Oregon rebates ranging from $350-$800 for high-efficiency furnaces. Federal tax credits provide up to $600 for ENERGY STAR certified equipment. NW Natural also offers rebates for qualifying systems. Some manufacturers offer additional rebates of $100-$300. We handle all rebate paperwork for you and help maximize your savings.

Most residential furnace replacements in Portland are completed in 1 day (6-10 hours). This includes removal of the old furnace, installation of the new unit, gas/electrical connections, venting installation, system testing, and homeowner training. Complex installations requiring ductwork modifications or electrical upgrades may take 1-2 days.

Portland homes typically need 35,000-50,000 BTU for smaller homes (under 1,500 sq ft), 50,000-70,000 BTU for medium homes (1,500-2,000 sq ft), and 70,000-100,000 BTU for larger homes (2,000+ sq ft). Proper sizing depends on square footage, insulation, ceiling height, and Portland's mild Pacific Northwest climate. Our NATE-certified technicians perform Manual J load calculations to determine exact requirements.

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 $800/year on heating, upgrading from 80% to 95% AFUE saves approximately $150 annually. High-efficiency furnaces also provide quieter operation, better humidity control, and qualify for Energy Trust rebates.
