Furnace

Furnace Installation in Portland, Oregon

High-efficiency heat, sized to your house rather than to a rule of thumb. Free in-home estimate, permits handled, and the job typically done in a day.

Why Replace

Cold rooms are usually a sizing problem.

Most homeowners assume an aging furnace that can't keep the house warm is simply worn out. Often it is — but just as often the system was never matched to the house in the first place, and a like-for-like replacement inherits the same problem.

A furnace that is too large short-cycles: it heats the thermostat quickly, shuts off, and leaves the far rooms cold while wearing itself out through constant starting and stopping. One that is too small runs continuously and never quite gets there. Both feel like a broken furnace. Neither is fixed by buying the same size again.

A modern high-efficiency unit will lower what you spend to heat the house. Getting the size right is what determines whether it also makes the house comfortable.

What Happens When You Book

You should know what you're agreeing to.

Before anyone touches your house, this is exactly how the job runs.

1
Free in-home estimate
We look at the existing furnace, the ductwork and the venting before we talk about replacements.
2
Load calculation
Climate, square footage, the size, shape and orientation of the home, the type and amount of insulation, and the windows. This is the step that decides whether the new system actually solves the problem.
3
Options and a quote
Efficiency levels explained against what they cost to run, not just what they cost to buy.
4
Permits, where they're required
We handle it. Budget pulls the permits on any install that needs them.
5
Install day
Old unit out, new one set, gas and venting connected. Typically a single day.
6
Startup and safety check
Combustion tested and the thermostat configured before we consider the job finished.
7
Walkthrough
How it runs, what the filter schedule should be, and what to watch for in the first season.
8
Rebate guidance
We'll advise on any rebates or incentives that may apply, and point you at the programs.

The Difference

We measure the house, not the old furnace.

The quickest way to quote a furnace is to read the label on the one being replaced and order the same output. It takes two minutes and it repeats whatever mistake was made last time.

We run a load calculation instead: climate, square footage, the size and shape and orientation of the home, the type and amount of insulation, and the windows. It is a longer conversation at the estimate, and it is the reason the new system behaves differently from the old one rather than identically.

Sized to your house. Since 1999.

Emergency Repair

Emergency Furnace Repair

No heat on a cold night is not a comfort problem, it's an urgent one. We find the actual fault, tell you what it takes to fix, and say so if a repair isn't worth it.

Preventative Maintenance

Furnace Maintenance

A furnace burns fuel, which makes servicing it partly a safety job. What a visit covers depends on the age and condition of the system.



“Budget Heating installed a Rheem high efficiency furnace to replace an old oil conversion unit. Their bid was much lower than all the others I received. The new furnace was professionally installed in just half a day, works well and has lowered my gas bill significantly. I highly recommend Budget. They do good work.”
