Furnaces Available from Hillsboro Heating Ventilation & Air Conditioning

There is one caveat: figuring out which furnace is right for your home. Luckily, you have the Hillsboro Heating Ventilation & Air Conditioning team to serve as your guide and help you navigate the choices available, assess your home’s needs, and even find something that works within your budget.

Common Types of Furnaces Oregon Homeowners Use

You have a few options when it comes to a furnace, and helping you understand those options is our primary goal. We want to assist you in making an informed decision about your heating upgrade, and we also want to present you with a few choices so that you can pick something that you are comfortable with for the next 10 to 15 years.

At Hillsboro Heating Ventilation & Air Conditioning, we carry the following types of furnaces:

Modulating: Modulating units work a lot like your vehicle. They do not have many fluctuations, making them energy efficient. They maintain constant temperatures, and they are quiet. They have great annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE) ratings too, up to 98 percent these days. Modulating units push less heat into the house but more consistently, so temperatures remain comfortable.

Two Stage: A two-stage unit works as it sounds by offering two levels of heat. When you set it on a higher mode, you get maximum heat delivery, but in Oregon, most units can survive on just a low setting and keep your interior warm.

Electric Furnaces: If you prefer electricity over oil and gas units, then you can get an electric-powered unit from our team too. These offer high efficiency, variable speed motors and come in a variety of models to suit almost any house size and heating demand.

Oil Furnaces: Plenty of Oregon homes still use oil-fueled furnaces. Therefore, when you go to replace, it only makes sense to go with what your home is already fitted for rather than retrofit something else in its place. Our team can install various flexible, durable, and quiet oil-powered units that still have great AFUE ratings of up to 86.6 percent.

Which Type of Furnace is Better? Gas, Oil, or Electric?

While all offer better energy efficiency than your existing furnace, gas units are often preferred in the heating industry. They are one of the more popular choices, and just some reasons homeowners prefer to use a gas furnace over oil or electric include:
  • Gas furnaces save you more money over time. Even though they cost more to install, when you opt for a high AFUE rating, you will see lower heating costs throughout the year.
  • You can still access rebates for your gas furnace upgrade, but you need to ensure that the unit you pick matches the latest Energy Star upgrade requirements (which change annually).
  • Gas furnaces are one of the more environmentally friendly options too. With a gas furnace, you are reducing your carbon footprint compared to oil and electric models.

Some of the cities we service are Portland, Banks, Hillsboro, Cornelius, Forest Grove, SW Portland, and NW Portland.
