  • How often should I have my HVAC system serviced?

    We recommend having your HVAC system serviced at least once a year. In Portland, that usually means scheduling heating system maintenance in the fall and cooling or heat pump maintenance in the spring. Regular maintenance helps prevent breakdowns, improves efficiency, and extends the life of your system.
  • Are heat pumps a good option for Portland homes?

    Absolutely. Heat pumps are a highly efficient and popular choice for Portland homeowners. They provide both heating and cooling, perform well in our mild climate, and can help reduce energy costs compared to traditional systems.
  • Do you help with energy‑efficient upgrades and rebates?

    Yes. We can guide you toward energy-efficient HVAC systems that may qualify for local, state, or utility rebates and incentives. Our team stays up to date on available programs and can help you find options that fit your home and budget.
  • Do you offer free estimates for new systems?

    Yes. We provide free estimates for HVAC replacements and new installations. Our team will assess your home, explain your options, and give you clear pricing with no surprises.
  • How long does an HVAC installation typically take?

    Most residential HVAC installations can be completed in a single day, depending on the system and your home layout. More complex installations may take longer, and we will always communicate the expected timeline before starting.
  • Are ductless mini split systems a good option for Portland homes?

    Yes. Ductless mini split systems are an excellent choice for many Portland homes, especially older houses, additions, garages, or homes without existing ductwork. They provide efficient heating and cooling, precise temperature control, and are well suited for the mild Pacific Northwest climate. They are also highly energy efficient and can help reduce monthly utility costs.
