"I have been impressed with Robby Courson's professionalism, honesty, and work ethic with each home visit. Robby truly cares about his customers and take the time necessary to provide detailed information on the product. We chose Ranger Heating & Cooling originally based on customer reviews and professional courtesy. We continue to hire Ranger because of those same standards. Having experienced lousy customer interactions with many service-oriented industries recently, it is such a pleasure to be on the receiving end of exceptional customer service. Many kudos to all the staff at Ranger Heating & Cooling."

"Mark and his guys helped us install a new AC last summer. They arrived on time and did a great job! So when I was looking for someone to do the maintenance of our furnace, I called them. Todd went above and beyond my expectations. He finished the job and even helped fix my hinge. Both Mark and Todd strike me as very genuine people. And I would definitely hire them again!"

"Our Greenwood Technician, Sam, really provides us assurance that our gas furnace is still functioning adequately, but detailed why it may be time to consider replacing our aging water heater and furnace water pump system before likely damage occurs. Sam is a most genuine and reassuring professional - He helps us know just what may need maintenance and what is still sound. It is a joy to work with a trustworthy and competent professional"

"Family moved to Lakewood, Wa from New York and noticed the next door neighbor utilized Hunt's and was in shock - the go to for plumbing, heating/cooling, electric, and drain/sewer-that's sweet. No need to call different people for various things and Hunt's became the Go-To. Called Ashley and Christine to make appointments and they were ever so nice and pleasant making the entire experience from the start as sweet as can be. Bought a sink from Home Depot and Hunt's was first to call and respond to request to install a sink. Hunt's sent out Tristan and Alfredo to install the sink and I almost dropped to the floor when they told me the price to install the new one and take out the old one-very inexpensive. Tristan and Alfredo removed the old sink and put in the new one, tested everything out and made sure everything was good before leaving. Called them for estimates for electric and they converted a regular light bulb to LED for two outside lights so the house shines at night. 5 stars for that! Met Dennis - transparent, direct, tells you what you need and technicians Sean and Chris came out to replace the furnace that served it's 44 year old time. Dennis made things happen and told us they can install the new furnace the next day. We were happy but stayed in a hotel for the night since it was too cold for my senior citizen parents to stay in the frigid house. Dennis communicated to me they could not make it on appointment day and were able to make it out the next day. One of the awesome technicians named Sean said, "Dennis told me you had to stay in a hotel so no point in waiting until Saturday let's get it done now". I appreciate the fact everyone here at Hunt's has a heart and can put themselves in the "shoes of the customer" and proceed. Sean and Chris came out to the house the next day after picking up the furnace arriving at said time and worked tirelessly from 11 am to late evening at around 8pm taking out the old furnace and installing the new one. Hours later, the house is heating up stronger and more efficiently. Thank You Hunt's for consistently super service. Hunt's has great honest customer service oriented hardworking individuals and Ive seen that consistently. Thank You Hunt's you have earned our business and loyalty for the long haul!"

"Northwest Thermal was wonderful to work with! It can be quite difficult when you?re having HVAC issues through the winter months and you don?t know which way to turn. We reached out to several companies but Northwest Thermal was quick to respond and got us scheduled right away. We worked with Vlad and Mark throughout the process, they were both very knowledgeable in explaining how the system works, and what was causing the problems previously. They kept our home clean with minimal disturbance and got it done quickly! I am now at ease knowing our HVAC has been installed with quality and care, and operating flawlessly. If you need any HVAC service done, don?t hesitate to reach out! But only if you want it done right, by a great team."

"Due to the supply chain issue, I paid a lot more than I expected for my furnace. The first guy who came out to test it said a new furnace would be a lot quieter. I think it's noisier than my old one. The heat coming out of the register definitely isn't as hot as it used to be but it gets the job done. The installation went well but I have a indentation on my wood floor that wasn't there before, even though it was covered. I'm supposed to be signing one more document that was overlooked but it's been since Dec 2021 and I still haven't signed it. So kind of a mixed bag..."

"We had central AC added to our home 5 years ago. We decided to get an AC and furnace tune up before the summer. Matt, the technician from One Hour Heating and Air, was on time and polite. He pointed out that our furnace filter had not been changed since 2022. Big oversight by me. Matt explained how the air flows through the furnace and the direction the filter needs to be placed. I marked with a sharpie on the furnace an arrow so I would remember next time. Positive experience."

FAQs for furnace / forced air heating system install or replace projects in Preston, WA

Converting from an oil furnace to an electric furnace isn't a simple swap—the oil system needs to be completely removed before installing the electric furnace. You'll need a full electric system installation, but you might be able to reuse existing ductwork if it's up to current safety standards. You’ll need to budget for a new electric furnace installation, which costs between $1,800 and $6,200, including professional removal, proper disposal, and safe installation of the new system.

Electric furnaces are 100% efficient at converting electricity into heat. However, some of that heat can be lost as it travels through your home's ductwork or escapes through poorly insulated areas. That's why regular duct maintenance and proper home insulation are important to maximize your furnace's efficiency and reduce heat loss, ensuring consistent warmth and lower energy costs.

With proper maintenance, an electric furnace can last anywhere from 20 to 30 years, outlasting the average gas furnace's lifespan of 15 to 20 years. To keep your electric furnace running efficiently, schedule regular cleanings, tighten connections, and have inspections done before winter arrives. With routine maintenance, you’ll ensure consistent, safe heating for years to come.

The size of the electric furnace you need depends on factors like your home's square footage, climate, and insulation quality. As a general guideline, those who live in warmer climates should multiply their square footage by 30 to 35 BTUs, while those in cooler areas should multiply it by 50 to 60 BTUs.

Consulting with an HVAC professional can help you determine the exact size that's right for your home.

An electric furnace works by converting electricity into heat using high-resistance heating elements. A blower then pushes the warm air through your home's ductwork, distributing heat evenly throughout your space. Since there's no combustion involved, electric furnaces eliminate the risks associated with gas furnaces and provide consistent, reliable heating when properly installed.

An electric furnace uses between 40 and 80 kilowatts per day to heat your home. The exact amount it uses depends on factors like your home's size, insulation, and overall energy requirements. Larger homes or those with poor insulation use more energy than smaller, well-insulated spaces. A professional furnace assessment can help confirm the ideal unit size for your needs.
