"We were very pleased with the quick response, detailed information, professional and courteous staff at all levels. Our old furnace died in November on a Friday. Other businesses couldn't get anyone out to repair and replace it for 2-3 weeks. Ranger had it replaced on Monday for us. This week our electronic air filter quit working. Again we had a quick response with a simple fix at no charge. All of our questions were answered fully and information given about the latest models but with no pressure to buy. We will absolutely use Ranger again and refer our friends and family to them."

"Mark's guys went above and beyond to replace my old furnace with a high efficiency model from Lennox, and upgrade my old electronic water heater to a gas water heater. It's done on time and passed inspection. We highly recommend their services."

"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"

"The system has not yet been brought on line. Therefore the results remain unknown. Also, it was not made clear to me that installation of this system would not lead to the now non functioning Kadet baseboard heater being removed or even disabled.I will hire a handyman to complete this portion of the project."

"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."

"Of the four companies I contacted to get estimates to replace our furnace and install a heat pump, one didn't show up at all to provide an estimate and two did not perform a complete evaluation of my home to determine the actual size of the system needed. The Bel Red representative that did the estimate did do a proper evaluation, explained what was needed, described how the system would work, reviewed the installation process and went over the cost, maintenance requirements, and warrantees. The installation team were polite, professional and carefully explained what was done and how to use the system. The Bel Red estimates were the highest but at this point I feel the value provided offset this. Based on this I am comfortable using them for the ongoing maintenance of and any repairs that may be needed for this system."

"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."

"I would absolutely recommend this company. I completely replaced my home’s entire plumbing system and while Hart’s was not the cheapest, they were also not the most expensive. I did, however, get the most bang for my buck and four extremely dedicated professionals who were honest about everything I was purchasing. I will continue to use them in the future."

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.
