David Sterry
"Philip did a great job doing our yearly maintenance check. He was friendly, considerate of the fact that I was at home with my 10 month old. He walked me through everything he did and included pictures of the work. He also gave me in-depth answers to the few questions I had."
Jess Schulz
"Our first year maintenance was free from Efficiency Heating and Cooling, which is a really nice, thoughtful touch. Tristan was a great technician. He was kind, personable, and honest. He had great tips, was very thorough, and I would trust him to come back and work on our system again. Thanks, Tristan and Efficiency!"

"Jason was professional, prompt and efficient. Properly assessed my furnace and rebalanced blowers to avoid overheating turn off that was occurred. And reassured me that the furnace didn't need replacement, which was a recommendation from the Lowe's/HD patriot service scam"
Shift Vacation Rentals
"We had a WONDERFUL experience with efficiency heating and cooling. I own a vacation rental business and one of our houses had a sudden failure with our mini splits. I needed to get heat back in the house asap. Efficiency met that need with stars. From the very beginning they were clear, communicative, honest and hard working. Rob was so kind to talk with us on his weekend in order to get things done as quickly as possible. He went out of his way- which was so kind and appreciative."
Aquila Wodajo

Gas vs Electric Furnace Repair
Gas Furnace Repair
Gas furnaces are the most common in Portland homes. Our technicians handle:

- Heat exchanger – Cracks, carbon monoxide safety checks

Electric Furnace Repair
Electric furnaces have fewer parts but still need professional repair:
- Heating elements – Burned out coils, sequencer problems
- Blower motor – Capacitor replacement, motor bearings
- Limit switches – Safety shutoffs, high-limit resets
- Circuit board – Control board diagnostics and replacement
Typical repair: $200-$500
Portland Winter Furnace Tips
Portland's wet, mild winters create unique challenges for furnaces. Here's what local homeowners should know:
Check Before Cold Snaps
Portland's mild fall weather means many furnaces sit unused until December. Test your furnace in November to catch problems before the first freeze.
Moisture & Condensation
Portland's humidity can cause condensate drain clogs in high-efficiency furnaces. Keep drains clear to prevent shutoffs and water damage.
Change Filters Monthly
Fall leaves and winter rain track debris inside. Check filters monthly during heating season—dirty filters cause 80% of furnace problems.
Know Your System Age
Portland homes built before 2000 often have furnaces nearing end-of-life. If yours is 15+ years old, ask about Energy Trust of Oregon rebates for upgrades.
Warning Signs You Need Furnace Repair
Don't wait until your furnace fails completely. These warning signs indicate it's time to call for professional furnace repair before a minor issue becomes a major emergency.
Yellow Pilot Light
A healthy pilot light burns blue. Yellow or orange flames indicate incomplete combustion and possible carbon monoxide production—call immediately.
Rising Energy Bills
If your heating costs have increased 20%+ without usage changes, your furnace is working harder than it should. This often indicates failing components.
Frequent Cycling
Furnace turning on and off every few minutes? Short cycling wastes energy and stresses components. Usually caused by thermostat issues or airflow problems.
Unusual Odors
Burning smells, musty odors, or rotten egg scent (gas leak) require immediate attention. Turn off your furnace and call for emergency service.
Cold Air from Vents
Furnace running but blowing cold air? This indicates ignition problems, pilot light issues, or a failing heat exchanger that needs professional diagnosis.
Visible Rust or Cracks
Rust on your furnace or visible cracks in the heat exchanger are serious safety concerns. These can lead to carbon monoxide leaks and require immediate repair.
Safety First: If you smell gas, hear your CO detector alarming, or see visible damage to your furnace, turn off the unit immediately and call (503) 698-5588 for emergency service.
What to Expect During Your Furnace Repair Visit
We believe in complete transparency. Here's exactly what happens when our NATE-certified technician arrives at your Portland home:
Arrival & Introduction
Our technician arrives in a marked company vehicle, wearing a uniform with photo ID. We'll introduce ourselves, put on shoe covers, and ask about the issues you've been experiencing with your furnace.
Comprehensive Diagnostic
We perform a thorough 21-point inspection of your furnace, checking electrical connections, gas pressure, heat exchanger integrity, thermostat calibration, and airflow. We use diagnostic tools to identify the exact cause of the problem.
Upfront Pricing & Options
Before any work begins, we explain what we found and present your repair options with exact pricing. No hidden fees, no pressure. You approve the work before we proceed. The $189 diagnostic fee applies to your repair cost.
Professional Repair
Using quality parts from our fully-stocked service vehicle, we complete the repair to manufacturer specifications. Most repairs are finished within 1-2 hours. We protect your home with drop cloths and clean up completely.
Testing & Verification
We run your furnace through multiple heating cycles to verify the repair. We check for proper ignition, heat output, and safe operation. You'll feel warm air flowing before we leave, and we'll explain any maintenance tips to prevent future issues.
When to Repair vs Replace Your Furnace
We'll give you an honest recommendation—not a sales pitch. Here's the decision framework our technicians use:
Repair Makes Sense When:
- • Furnace is less than 10 years old
- • Repair cost is under 50% of replacement
- • First major repair on the unit
- • No unusual energy bill spikes
- • Heat exchanger is intact (no cracks)
Consider Replacement When:
- • Furnace is 15+ years old
- • Repair costs exceed 50% of new unit
- • Multiple repairs in past 2 years
- • Energy bills steadily increasing
- • Heat exchanger is cracked (safety issue)
Portland Homeowners: Energy Trust of Oregon offers up to $1,000 in rebates for high-efficiency furnace upgrades. We help you navigate the paperwork.
