Is it time?

Clues that an Ellensburg furnace is nearing the end.

No single clue settles it. When several line up, a free estimate is a sensible next step.

Repairs have become a yearly habit

Paying for a service call every heating season adds up quickly at a Kittitas County dispatch rate.

Rooms that never feel warm on windy days

A tired blower or an undersized furnace struggles most when the valley wind is blowing.

Heating bills creeping up

Older equipment loses efficiency, and you pay for it every month it runs.

An air conditioner that uses R-22

We no longer use R-22. If your AC needs it, replacing the furnace and cooling together can save a second project later.

New noises, smells or a safety warning

If a technician flags a safety concern, take it seriously and get it looked at before you keep running the furnace.

You want cooling too

Ellensburg summers get hot. A heat pump or dual fuel system heats in winter and cools in summer.

Not sure it's beyond repair?

Start with a diagnosis instead. Our Ellensburg furnace repair page lists the visit fees, and the technician will tell you honestly whether repair or replacement makes more sense.

Your choices

Four ways to replace a furnace in Ellensburg.

Which fits depends on the fuel you have now, your ductwork, and whether you want air conditioning out of the same project.

System How it heats Often a fit when Installed price
Gas or propane furnace Burns fuel to heat air for your ducts You already have gas or propane and want to keep it Quoted at a free in-home estimate
Electric furnace Electric elements heat the air No gas service and a simple swap is the goal Quoted at a free in-home estimate
Dual fuel Heat pump for most of the year, gas furnace on the coldest days You have gas and also want cooling and lower winter use $15,706–$26,748
Ducted heat pump + air handler Moves heat in winter and out in summer, with backup heat inside Electric-heated homes, or anyone ready to drop the fuel bill $15,331–$26,702
  • Every option starts with a free in-home estimate and a clear written price.

Ellensburg furnace replacement FAQ

Questions we hear about new furnaces in Ellensburg.

How much does a new furnace cost in Ellensburg?

A gas, propane or electric furnace is priced at a free in-home estimate, because size, venting and ductwork change the number. A ducted heat pump with an air handler runs $15,331 to $26,702 installed, and a dual fuel system runs $15,706 to $26,748, before any rebate.

Do I pay the Ellensburg dispatch fee for an estimate?

No. Estimates for new systems are free. The $279 Ellensburg dispatch fee applies to repair visits, not replacement estimates.

Should I swap my gas furnace for a heat pump?

It depends on your home and your goals. If you want cooling and lower fuel use but like having gas for the coldest nights, a dual fuel system keeps a gas furnace as backup. We'll go over the choices at your estimate.

Are there rebates for a new furnace in Ellensburg?

City of Ellensburg electric customers with electric space heat may qualify for city rebates on heat pumps and ductless systems. The city hasn't published amounts, so call (509) 962-7124 to check eligibility before you buy. We don't claim rebates for gas or propane furnaces.
