Reliable Heating for Washington Homes
When temperatures drop across the Puget Sound region, your furnace is the one system you cannot afford to have fail. Varsity Heating and Cooling provides comprehensive furnace services throughout King County, Pierce County, and Thurston County, including Federal Way, Tacoma, Puyallup, and the surrounding communities. Whether your furnace needs a minor repair, routine maintenance, or a full replacement, our team handles every job with the same attention to detail and transparent communication that has earned us a 5.0-star Google rating across 75 reviews.
We install and service Day & Night, Carrier, and American Standard gas furnaces in multiple efficiency tiers. Every installation includes a 10-year parts and labor warranty, and most replacements are completed in a single day. We never upsell unnecessary work. If your furnace can be repaired affordably, we will tell you. If it makes more financial sense to replace it, we will walk you through the numbers so you can decide with full information.
For homeowners considering long-term energy savings, upgrading from a gas furnace to a ducted heat pump is worth exploring. Heat pumps provide both heating and cooling from one system and can qualify for up to $4,400 in PSE rebates. We can present both options side by side during your free estimate so you can compare costs, efficiency, and comfort before making a decision. If you already have a heat pump that needs service, our heat pump repair team handles those as well.

Furnace FAQ
A gas furnace replacement in Washington typically costs between $4,000 and $8,000 for standard installations, and $5,000 to $10,000 for higher-efficiency systems or more complex setups. The final price depends on the efficiency rating (80% to 98% AFUE), system size for your home's square footage, and any ductwork modifications needed. We provide a detailed written estimate after an in-home assessment so there are no surprises.
If your furnace is under 15 years old and the repair cost is less than half the price of a new system, repair is usually the better option. If your furnace is over 15 years old, requires frequent repairs, has rising energy bills, heats unevenly, or makes unusual noises, replacement is often more cost-effective in the long run. We will always give you an honest recommendation and explain the reasoning behind it.
We install Day & Night (our primary brand as an Elite Dealer), Carrier, and American Standard furnaces. All three brands offer a range of efficiency tiers so we can match the right system to your budget and heating needs. Each brand comes with a strong manufacturer warranty in addition to our 10-year parts and labor guarantee.
Most furnace replacements are completed in a single day, typically 6 to 8 hours from start to finish. This includes removing the old unit, installing the new furnace, connecting all gas and electrical lines, testing the system, and cleaning up. If significant ductwork modifications are needed, the project may extend to a second day, but we confirm the timeline before starting work.
Heat pumps offer both heating and cooling from one system and are significantly more energy-efficient than gas furnaces. If your furnace is due for replacement, upgrading to a ducted heat pump can qualify you for up to $4,400 in PSE rebates, which helps offset the higher upfront cost. We can assess your home and provide options for both a furnace replacement and a heat pump upgrade so you can compare the numbers and make an informed decision.
Yes. Regular maintenance extends the life of your furnace, improves efficiency, and helps prevent unexpected breakdowns during the coldest months. A typical maintenance visit includes inspecting the heat exchanger for cracks, cleaning the burner assemblies, checking the ignition system and safety controls, testing thermostat calibration, and replacing the air filter. We recommend annual tune-ups before heating season begins.
Every furnace installation from Varsity Heating and Cooling includes a 10-year parts and labor warranty. This covers both the equipment and the workmanship, so if anything goes wrong with the system or our installation, you are protected for a full decade. We also register the manufacturer warranty on your behalf and provide all documentation before we leave your home.
