Our Heating Services

New furnace or full replacement — Conrad handles load calculation, equipment selection, permits, and same-day startup. Every unit sized to your home’s actual square footage and ductwork. Free estimates, financing available.

Furnace not firing, short-cycling, or making a sound it didn’t make last January? Our technicians carry the parts that close most repairs on the first visit — igniters, flame sensors, blower motors, control boards. Diagnostic first, written quote before anything gets touched.

The igniter that fails in February was already showing signs in October. A fall tune-up catches it — along with cracked heat exchangers, dirty flame sensors, and blocked condensate drains. Maintenance agreement customers get priority scheduling and 10% off any repairs.

Signs Your Furnace Needs Repair

When to Call a Furnace Repair Company

  • No heat or cold air from vents — system runs but produces nothing; igniter, flame sensor, gas valve, or heat exchanger
  • Yellow or flickering pilot light — should be steady blue; yellow means incomplete combustion
  • Short-cycling — kicks on, runs 2–3 minutes, shuts off; dirty filter, failed high-limit switch, or overheating
  • Banging on startup — delayed ignition; gas accumulates before the burner lights
  • Screeching — blower motor bearing going out; won’t improve on its own
  • Persistent burning smell — not the dust smell at season start; something is wrong
  • Gas smell — shut off the furnace, leave without touching switches, call the gas company from outside, then Conrad

CO detector alarm — everyone out, doors open, 911 first, then 503-785-9715

Furnace Components We Repair

Gas and Electric Furnace Repair

Hot surface igniter — the ceramic element that glows to light the burner. Cracks from thermal cycling, usually between years 3 and 7. Most common gas furnace failure by a wide margin. Replacement: 30–45 minutes.

Flame sensor — a metal rod that confirms the burner is lit. Carbon builds up on the tip and causes the system to shut down even when the burner is running fine. Cleaning or replacement, under an hour.

Blower motor — moves air through the heat exchanger and ductwork. Worn bearings announce themselves with screeching before full failure. Catch it early: bearing replacement. Wait: full motor.Heat exchanger — the wall between combustion gases and your breathing air. A crack means the furnace gets replaced. CO doesn’t give warnings.

Emergency Furnace Repair — 24/7 Service

A furnace that quits at midnight in January is a different situation than one that’s running poorly on a Thursday afternoon. Conrad’s emergency line doesn’t go to voicemail after hours — a real dispatcher answers, logs your address, and sends a technician.Most Beaverton and Portland metro emergency calls are on-site within 2 hours. The truck carries igniters, flame sensors, blower motors, capacitors, and control boards for common brands — most emergency calls close on the first visit. Call 503-785-9715 any time.

Repair or Replace

Under 12 years old with one clear failure: fix it. The numbers start shifting around year 15, second repair within 12 months, or when repair cost clears half the current system’s value.

A cracked heat exchanger is the exception to all of this. That’s not a cost decision — CO gets into the airstream, and the furnace comes out. Full stop.

If the replacement math makes more sense, Conrad walks you through it at the same visit — furnace installation can usually be scheduled within 24–48 hours. New 96%+ AFUE equipment often qualifies for Energy Trust of Oregon rebates, which shifts the math further.

Furnace Repair Cost, Commercial, and AC

What Furnace Repair Costs

Most repairs land between $150 and $600. An igniter or flame sensor is toward the low end; a blower motor or control board runs higher. Conrad provides a written quote after on-site diagnostics — before anything is touched. Free estimates on repair calls. Call 503-785-9715.

Commercial Furnace Repair

Conrad repairs furnaces for offices, retail spaces, and light commercial properties across the Portland metro. Same licensed technicians, flexible scheduling around business hours. Commercial HVAC services available throughout Washington County.

Furnace and AC — One Company

When summer arrives and the AC needs attention, the same technician who knows your furnace handles it. One call, one service record. AC repair runs the same way: diagnostic first, written quote, same-day service available.

Why Choose Conrad for Furnace Repair?

Licensed and Certified Installers

Oregon CCB license and EPA 608 certification — both required by state law, both on file before anyone goes on a job. Full-time, in-house technicians who know the equipment they’re working on. No subcontractors showing up with a work order they read in the van

Same-Day and Emergency Service

Most calls received before 5 PM are on the schedule for that day. After hours, the emergency line goes to a live dispatcher — not a recording. Conrad is Beaverton-based, which keeps response times across Washington County and the west metro shorter than companies dispatching from farther out.

Upfront Pricing, Free Estimates

Diagnostic first, written quote second, work third — every time. Free estimates on repair calls. The number after the diagnostic is the number on the invoice. If something changes mid-job, the technician stops and calls you before continuing.

All Brands and Models Serviced

Bosch, Lennox, Carrier, Trane, Daikin, Goodman, Rheem — doesn’t matter who installed it or how old it is. Igniters, flame sensors, blower motors, draft inducers, control boards, and capacitors for common brands ride on the truck.

How much does furnace repair cost?

Most repairs run $150–$600. An igniter or flame sensor sits toward the lower end; blower motor or control board replacement costs more. Conrad provides a written quote after diagnostics, before any work starts — no number changes between the estimate and the invoice. Call 503-785-9715 for same-day service.

What are the most common furnace problems?

Hot surface igniter failure is the single most common gas furnace repair — the ceramic element cracks from thermal cycling, usually after 3–7 years. Dirty flame sensors are second. After those: worn blower motor bearings, failed draft inducers, and clogged condensate drains on high-efficiency units.

Should I repair or replace my furnace?

Under 12 years old with a single clear fault — repair. Past 15 years, second repair this season, or repair cost over half the system’s current value — replacement usually wins. A cracked heat exchanger skips the math entirely: the furnace comes out.

Do you offer emergency furnace repair?

Yes — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, holidays included. Live dispatcher, not voicemail. Most Beaverton and Portland metro emergency calls are on-site within 2 hours. Call 503-785-9715.

Do you repair gas and electric furnaces?

Both. Gas: igniters, flame sensors, gas valves, burners, heat exchangers, draft inducers, control boards. Electric: heating elements, sequencers, blower motors, wiring. All major brands, any age.

How can I prevent furnace breakdowns?

Annual fall maintenance — it catches the igniter that’s about to fail, the flame sensor that’s getting coated, and the heat exchanger that needs a closer look. Replace the filter every 1–3 months during the heating season. Annual heating maintenance from Conrad includes a full multi-point inspection with a written summary.
