A furnace works hard through a Tacoma winter. If yours is old, loud, or failing, a new one can bring back steady heat. Taylor installs gas, electric, and oil furnaces in homes across Tacoma and Pierce County. We also replace worn systems and haul the old unit away. Our certified installers match each furnace to the home it heats. New equipment is one part of our full range of heating services.
Signs It Is Time for a New Furnace
A furnace rarely fails without warning. These signs suggest a replacement may serve you better than another repair.
- Age: The furnace is 15 years old or more and needs repairs often.
- Uneven heat: Some rooms never get warm, even with clean filters and open vents.
- A cracked heat exchanger: This part keeps combustion gases out of your air. A crack is a safety issue.
- Constant repairs: You have called for service more than once this season.
- A bigger home: You added a room or finished a basement, and the old unit cannot keep up.

Furnace Replacement Done Right
Replacing a furnace is more than swapping one box for another. We remove the old unit and clear it from your home. Then we check your ductwork, gas line, venting, and wiring. Problems there can shorten the life of a new furnace. We point out anything we find before the new unit goes in.
Choosing the Right Furnace for Your Home
The right furnace fits your home, not a rule of thumb. We start every project with a home visit.
Sizing
We measure your home and look at insulation, windows, and ceiling height. Then we figure out how much heat your home loses on a cold day. A furnace that is too big turns on and off too often. One that is too small runs nonstop and still leaves rooms cool.
Fuel Type
Natural gas furnaces suit homes with a gas line. Electric furnaces work well where gas is not available. Some homes still use oil heat, and we install those furnaces too.
Efficiency
AFUE shows how much fuel turns into heat. A furnace rated at 95 percent AFUE turns 95 percent of its fuel into heat. We explain the ratings so you can compare models side by side.
Hybrid Systems
A hybrid system pairs a gas furnace with a heat pump. The heat pump handles mild days. The furnace takes over when the air turns colder. Learn more on our heat pump installation in Tacoma page.
Furnace Brands We Install
We install furnaces from Carrier, Trane, Bryant, Goodman, and Lennox. Each brand offers models at several efficiency levels. We help you weigh features, comfort, and fit for your home. Some models use variable-speed blowers that move air more gently. Others use two-stage burners that run on low most of the time. We explain what each feature means for daily comfort.
What Happens on Installation Day
Our installs follow a clear plan from start to finish.
- Home visit: We look at your home, your current system, and your goals.
- Options: We walk you through a few furnaces that fit and explain how each one performs.
- Scheduling: We book a day that works for you. Same-day or next-day installs are possible in many cases.
- Removal: We take out the old furnace and protect the work area.
- Installation: We set the new furnace, connect gas or power, and seal the venting. Then we set up the thermostat and test airflow.
- Walkthrough: We run a full heat cycle and show you the controls and filter.
Pair Your Furnace with New Cooling
Summer days in Tacoma can turn warm. Some homeowners replace the air conditioner at the same time as the furnace. One project gives you matched equipment and one install date. Visit our AC installation in Tacoma page to learn more.
