A new furnace is a two-decade decision, and the options add up fast. You can choose an 80 percent AFUE unit or a mid-90s condensing model, single-stage, two-stage, or modulating burners, and a standard PSC blower or a variable-speed ECM motor that uses less electricity and evens out temperature swings. Which mix is right depends on your Eugene, OR home, the length of your heating season, and the behavior of your ductwork. That is why Eugene HVAC begins with a load calculation rather than copying whatever the previous installer chose. An oversized furnace short-cycles and overshoots, delivering comfort in bursts while it wears itself out. A properly sized one runs longer, quieter, and more cheaply.
Most of our service calls are for Furnace Repair. That's the place to start if you need a fix today.

- The blower is loud enough that you plan conversations around it
- Your heat exchanger is cracked, taking repair off the table
- Booming ignition, rust, or soot that keeps coming back after service
- Uneven heat, frequent cycling, or rooms that stay cold no matter what
- Rising energy bills and a home that still feels chilly
- The furnace you have is fifteen to twenty years old or more
