Furnace Articles

If your furnace seems to be producing heat inconsistently around your Gresham home to you, you’re not alone. Many homes have varied conditions from room to room, causing spotty heating or cooling.

When it comes to staying cozy in the greater Portland area, the debate—heat pump or furnace—is as classic as coffee vs. tea, rain jacket vs. umbrella, or Seahawks vs. literally anyone else.

The average furnace lasts between 10 and 15 years. But did you know you can take steps to make it last longer?

On a frosty winter’s day here in Oregon, your gas furnace is hard at work, keeping your Portland home warm and cozy. Feeling grateful? You’re not alone—it’s one of the most popular forms of heating, as American as apple pie.

If your furnace is producing a strange smell, you should always treat it with caution. While the cause for the odor may be benign, it could just as easily be harmful to inhale. When in doubt, always open windows to ensure ventilation, and evacuate your Portland home.
