A furnace installation in Spokane often involves more than swapping equipment. Gas line connections, plumbing tie-ins, and proper system sizing all factor into the job. Shaw Plumbing Heating & Air Conditioning handles the full scope in a single call, covering both the HVAC installation and any related gas line or plumbing work so you don’t have to coordinate with a second contractor. We’ve served the Spokane Valley since 2015, and every furnace installation we complete is backed by a warranty and a free upfront estimate.
Spokane winters don’t leave room for a furnace that underperforms. Whether you’re replacing an aging system or installing heating in a new space, we’re available same-day when possible, on weekends, and around the clock for urgent no-heat situations.
Call us at (509) 954-5273 to schedule your free estimate. We offer same-day scheduling when possible, weekend appointments, and 24/7 emergency availability for urgent heating situations.
Choosing a furnace installation company comes down to reliability, transparency, and knowing the job can be finished correctly. Here’s what sets our team apart:
Not every heating problem calls for a new system, but some situations make replacement the more practical choice. Knowing the difference can save time and money before the coldest months arrive.
The right furnace type depends on your property’s fuel access, budget, and efficiency goals. Three options are most common in this region.
Natural Gas Furnaces
Natural gas is widely available throughout Spokane and Spokane Valley, making gas furnace installation the most common residential choice. Gas systems are cost-effective to operate during long winter heating seasons and can achieve AFUE ratings (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency, the standard measure of how much fuel converts to usable heat) of 95% or higher on high-efficiency models. Higher-efficiency equipment can help reduce monthly heating bills compared to older, lower-rated equipment.
Electric Furnaces
For properties without natural gas access, an electric furnace is a reliable alternative. Electric systems require less maintenance, operate quietly, and don’t need a gas line, which simplifies installation in some homes.
Propane Furnaces
Propane is the practical choice for rural or outlying properties where natural gas lines don’t reach. Propane furnaces deliver the same heat output as gas systems and perform well in Spokane’s colder outlying areas.
A furnace replacement done correctly starts well before the new equipment arrives. Our process begins with an assessment of your current heating setup, square footage, insulation, and fuel access. From there, we recommend the system that fits your home or building rather than defaulting to whatever is in stock.
Proper sizing matters. An oversized furnace short-cycles, wasting energy and creating uneven heat. An undersized one can struggle to keep up on Spokane’s coldest days. Once the right system is identified, we handle the full installation, including any gas line or plumbing work the job requires. After installation, we walk you through thermostat operation, filter replacement schedules, and warranty registration before we leave. Cleanup is part of every job.
A new furnace is one of the larger investments a property owner makes. We offer flexible financing options so residential and commercial customers can move forward without waiting for the perfect budget window. Free estimates are provided before any work begins, giving you a clear picture of scope and cost upfront.
It’s also worth asking about Avista’s energy-efficiency rebate programs, which may apply to qualifying residential customers replacing heating equipment in the Spokane area. Federal tax credits for certain high-efficiency furnace installations have also been available in recent years, though eligibility and amounts change. We recommend confirming current availability when you schedule your estimate.
Furnace capacity is measured in BTUs (British Thermal Units). The right size for a given property depends on square footage, ceiling height, insulation quality, window count, and local climate. Spokane winters include sustained periods of below-freezing temperatures, so sizing should account for those extreme days, not just average conditions.
An undersized furnace runs constantly without reaching the set temperature, driving up energy costs and wearing out components faster. An oversized furnace short-cycles, producing uneven heat and unnecessary mechanical stress. We evaluate each property individually rather than applying a one-size-fits-all formula.
For homeowners interested in year-round efficiency, a heat pump paired with a gas furnace backup (a dual-fuel system) is worth discussing at estimate time. The heat pump handles moderate temperatures while the gas furnace takes over when conditions drop below its efficient operating range. Since we handle both systems, that conversation can happen in a single visit.

Spokane’s heating season typically begins in October and runs through early spring. Late summer and early fall are a good window to schedule a furnace installation or replacement before demand peaks and installer availability tightens. November and December often bring longer wait times as homeowners respond to the first cold snaps of the season.
For properties where gas isn’t accessible, we assess the alternatives at no cost before any work is scheduled. If a furnace fails mid-winter, our 24/7 emergency availability means you have a local team to call that already knows the area and can respond without the delays that can come with out-of-area contractors.
