Heating and air conditioning service built around Portland
If your heat pumps and ductless mini-splits has started short cycling, blowing warm air or making a noise it never used to make, you are not alone — Portland generates some of the highest call volume we handle in Oregon. Mild wet winters and a growing number of hot summers have driven a rapid shift toward heat pump installations.
Around Portland, condensate drainage is a recurring fault. Blocked drains and failed float switches cause more water damage claims here than actual refrigerant failures do.
Heating season here is November through March. A pre-season inspection catches cracked heat exchangers and failing igniters before the first real cold snap.

Portland97220 HVAC questions, answered
What does a new system cost in Portland?
A complete residential replacement in the 97220 area generally lands between $6,000 and $13,000 installed, depending on capacity, efficiency rating and how much ductwork has to be modified. We always perform a Manual J load calculation first, because an oversized unit costs more to buy and runs worse than a correctly sized one.
Why is my system short cycling?
Short cycling in Portland most often comes from a restricted airflow path — a loaded filter, a closed register, an undersized return — or from an oversized unit. It can also be a failing flame sensor or a pressure switch fault. We measure static pressure and temperature rise before concluding anything, because guessing at this one is expensive.
How quickly can a technician get to Portland?
For the 97220 service area our target response time is 60-90 minutes from the moment dispatch confirms your address. Real-world timing depends on the day — the first sustained heat or cold snap of the season is always our busiest period — but we hold technicians locally specifically so that window is achievable rather than aspirational.
Do you charge extra for nights, weekends or holidays?
No. Our pricing in Oregon is the same at 2am on a holiday as it is at 2pm on a Tuesday. Emergency calls are dispatched the same way as scheduled calls and carry no overtime premium.
Is my system low on refrigerant, or is it leaking?
Refrigerant does not get "used up" the way fuel does. If your charge is low, there is a leak somewhere — usually at a flare connection, a schrader core or the evaporator coil. We locate and repair the leak rather than simply topping up the charge, because a top-up alone will fail again.
What brands do you service in Portland?
All of them. Our 97220 technicians are trained on American Standard, Rheem, Goodman, Heil and essentially every other residential brand sold in Oregon, including discontinued lines. We keep a broad parts catalogue on the trucks for exactly that reason.
