The right furnace for your home depends on fuel availability, square footage, climate, insulation, and efficiency goals. Most Spokane-area homes use gas furnaces (most economical to operate); homes without gas service typically use electric furnaces or heat pumps. Size matters more than brand — an oversized furnace wastes money and shortens its own life.
Furnace types to consider
- Gas furnace — Most efficient operating cost in Spokane
- Electric furnace — Lower install cost, higher operating cost
- Heat pump — Efficient heating and cooling in one
- Dual-fuel — Heat pump + gas backup
We do Manual J load calculations on every install. See furnace installation and the full heating menu.
