Local Expertise That Matters
Bend homeowners face unique considerations when replacing gas furnaces, and our 70+ years of local experience mean we understand exactly what your system needs to perform optimally in Central Oregon’s high desert climate.
Bend’s climate demands reliable heating performance.
With winter temperatures regularly dropping to single digits and below zero during cold snaps, and heating seasons lasting 6-7 months, your gas furnace runs 2,000+ hours annually—significantly more than systems in milder climates. This extended runtime makes proper sizing and high-efficiency equipment critical for managing energy costs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Gas Furnace Replacement Bend, Oregon
How do I know when it's time to replace my gas furnace instead of repairing it?
Replace your gas furnace if it’s over 15 years old, requires repairs exceeding 50% of replacement cost, or operates below 80% efficiency. Additional indicators include frequent breakdowns, uneven heating, yellow burner flames, or heating bills significantly higher than those of similar homes. Our technicians provide honest assessments; if a repair makes financial sense, we’ll recommend it.
What size gas furnace do I need for my Bend home?
Proper sizing requires a Manual J load calculation accounting for square footage, insulation, windows, and Bend’s climate. Typical Central Oregon homes need 60,000-80,000 BTU for 1,500-2,000 sq ft, 80,000-100,000 BTU for 2,000-2,800 sq ft, and 100,000+ BTU for homes over 3,000 sq ft. Exact sizing depends on your specific home—oversized furnaces waste energy while undersized systems struggle during cold snaps.
What's the difference between 80% and 95% efficiency gas furnaces?
An 80% AFUE furnace converts 80% of gas into heat, venting 20% up the chimney. A 95% AFUE system extracts additional warmth using a secondary heat exchanger. For average Bend homes, upgrading from 80% to 95% efficiency saves approximately $350-$500 per year and may qualify for Energy Trust of Oregon rebates.
How long does a gas furnace replacement take?
Most replacements are completed in one full day (6-10 hours), with your home heated before we leave. Complex installations requiring significant ductwork modifications or electrical upgrades may extend to 2 days.
What rebates and financing are available?
Bend homeowners typically qualify for Energy Trust of Oregon rebates on high-efficiency systems (92%+ AFUE). As an Energy Trust Trade Ally, we handle all rebate paperwork. We also offer financing options including 0% APR for 12 months and extended payment plans through approved lenders.
What brands does Bend Heating & Sheet Metal install?
We install Carrier, Daikin, Bosch, and Mitsubishi systems—industry-leading brands for Central Oregon’s climate. As a Carrier Factory-Authorized Dealer, we offer exclusive warranties and our 100% Money-Back Guarantee on Carrier installations.
