Furnaces & Heat Pumps That Save You Energy
A high-efficiency furnace or heat pump keeps your home warm through damp Pacific Northwest winters while cutting your energy bills — installed honestly by The HVAC Rat, your Mitsubishi Electric authorized dealer.
Why Upgrade Your Heating?
Pacific Northwest winters are cool and damp, and heating your home can quietly become one of your biggest energy expenses. If your furnace or heat pump is more than 10–15 years old, it's likely burning far more fuel and electricity than it needs to — and a lot of that energy is wasted before it ever warms your living room.
Today's high-efficiency furnaces and heat pumps are a completely different story. A modern furnace can turn up to 98% of its fuel directly into usable heat, while a heat pump can move up to three units of heat for every unit of electricity it uses. The result is real, measurable savings on your monthly energy bill.
A heat pump goes one step further. Instead of burning fuel to create heat, it simply moves heat from the outside air into your home — and in summer it reverses to cool. That means one efficient system can replace both your furnace and your air conditioner, saving you money on energy and on equipment.
Whether you choose a high-efficiency furnace, a heat pump, or a dual-fuel system that pairs the two, The HVAC Rat will help you sniff out the right setup for your home and budget — installed honestly, fairly, and up to code.

High Efficiency
Today's furnaces reach up to 98% AFUE — nearly every dollar of fuel becomes heat — and heat pumps can deliver up to 300% efficiency by moving heat instead of making it.
Even, Consistent Heat
Modern furnaces and heat pumps distribute warm air evenly, eliminating cold spots and keeping every room at a steady, comfortable temperature.
Quieter Operation
New variable-speed furnaces and ductless heat pumps run at a whisper compared to older single-stage systems that clank on and off all night.
Affordable To Install
We keep pricing honest and fair. You get name-brand furnace and heat pump equipment installed right without the inflated price tag.
Backed Warranties
As a Mitsubishi Electric authorized dealer, your equipment comes with manufacturer-backed warranties and expert, code-compliant installation.
