Furnaces

Family in the snow.

How you choose to heat your home is a big decision. It affects many areas of your life––primarily your finances and health. And chances are you didn’t even choose the existing furnace in your own home. The original owner did. His or her needs and lifestyle may have been very different from yours, so the furnace you currently have may not even be addressing your needs. It may be time to upgrade your furnace due to age or if you would prefer something with a higher efficiency. Whatever the reason, our qualified technicians at Pacific Air Heating & Air Conditioning are here to evaluate your home and make sure to guide you toward the right furnace for your needs.

A New Gas Furnace Makes All the Difference

As mentioned above, your current needs for a gas furnace may be different than the needs at the time of the furnace’s purchase. Whether someone else made the purchase or your needs have simply changed, there are important considerations to make when deciding on a new gas furnace for your home. These considerations can make all the difference to your home’s comfort level. Choosing to work with our professionals at Pacific Air Heating & Air Conditioning will help you to include these factors when choosing your new furnace:

  • Efficiency –– If your current furnace is older than ten years old, even if it’s still working, chances are it ’s not presenting you with the highest efficiency. Upgrading to a higher-efficiency furnace can offer you savings in your energy bills as well as a more comfortable home.
  • Correct Size –– Evaluating your home’s size and needs plays directly into selecting the appropriately sized gas furnace for your home. Your home’s layout may be different now than it was when your existing furnace was purchased. Installing either a too-small or too-large furnace in your home won’t offer you the energy savings or the comfort you’re expecting with a new furnace. It’s critical that the correct size of the equipment and ductwork be installed for your satisfaction.
  • Proper Ventilation –– Your home’s ductwork may deteriorate over time, or it may not have been installed correctly in the first place. It’s imperative your ductwork is properly sealed and vented. Without this important step, you may be losing much of your heating-and-cooling energy. Also, your indoor air quality (IAQ) may not be as high as you would like. A thorough evaluation may be in order at this time as well.
  • Health Needs –– If your existing gas furnace isn’t operating at its highest efficiency or your HVAC ductwork needs replacing or repairing, your health could be at risk. This is especially true if someone in your home is living with allergies, asthma, a chronic illness, or pets. IAQ is lower than our outdoor air these days. Having the right furnace goes a long way in helping in this area.
  • Cost Evaluation –– Though you may think that keeping your existing furnace costs less than upgrading/replacing to a new one, you could be mistaken. Your operating costs could be considerably higher due to your furnace’s low efficiency. Investing in a new high-efficiency gas furnace will reward you over time with lower energy bills and repair bills. Typically, homeowners recoup their costs over the first five years or so.

How Much Money Can a New Furnace Save You?

Our AFUE energy savings calculator can help determine how much you could save on your utility bills. Simply enter your current unit's AFUE value and compare it to a newer, more efficient system. You can even customize it to better match your home's system for a more accurate calculation.

Gas Furnace Replacement in Olympia, WA 98512-7705

“Another FIVE STAR service provided by Jim (owner) and Jon! On Sunday, Nov. 26, 2023, I noticed our in home thermostat was blank (not lighted), and no heat. Checked the fuse panel, and the furnace breaker was not tripped. I called Pacific Air and left a message. Within a couple hours, I received a phone call from Jim and explained the situation. He came out within three hours and quickly diagnosed the problem. We needed a new circuit board. He did not have one onboard and stated they would look for a new one on Monday. We received a phone call Monday morning stating they would be back out at our house late afternoon to install the new circuit board. Jon did the install. He was very conscientious, and thorough. An hour later, the furnace was back up and running perfectly! Thank you so much for the quick turnaround time and professionalism! We have been customers for nearly 20 years. Always very satisfied with their work!” – John B.

“19/11/22- Friday afternoon our thermostat displayed an alert code(15291NMW7G: Err 22.01) The heat pump was non-operational and the furnace burner igniter was not functioning properly. We called multiple companies in the surrounding area but no one could send anyone out until next week on Monday at the earliest and in most cases Wednesday was the typical response we received. With last night’s temperature expected to reach down into the low 20 degrees, time was working against us. Fortunately Pacific Air responded and they were able send one of their tech’s out first thing 8:30 am Saturday morning to run a diagnostic. Eric, the technician they dispatched arrived ahead of schedule. From the get-go it was apparent Eric was highly skilled and took pride in his craftsmanship, his professionalism was second to none. He went above and beyond, walking me through the entire situation step by step, giving a detailed explanation of the process. He answered all of my questions so that I was able to understand, imparting his knowledge on me. Pacific Air’s Integrity, approach and drive to take the initiative speaks volumes to how they operate. To top it all off they offer very competitive prices for their services, add all this together and you just scored a lifelong customer. If I could give another star I would without hesitation, Pacific Air is the gold standard. I hope that this review at least scratches the surface, expressing my level of gratitude for restoring the heat in our home, Thank you Eric you crushed it!”

“We have been long-time customers of Pacific Air. On October 7, 2021, we had technician Eric out at our house for furnace, heat pump, and freestanding gas stove service. Eric was here for quite some time and was meticulous and thorough. He is very courteous, friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. Good to know we will see him again in November to replace a crucial furnace part. Pacific Air – you have a FIVE STAR employee! Thanks again.”
