Common AC installation faults in West Linn homes
- The AC runs all day and the house still never gets cool Undersized or failing equipment, duct restriction, low refrigerant charge
- Our unit is old and the repair bill keeps growing End-of-life compressor or obsolete refrigerant, replacement territory
- Upstairs is ten degrees warmer than downstairs Duct design and return air problems, single-zone system on a two-story home
- There's no ductwork in the addition or the garage conversion Candidate for a ductless mini-split zone
- The outdoor unit is loud, rattling, or shaking the deck Worn compressor or fan bearings, failing mounts, aging condenser

How do you size a new AC system?
We measure the house: square footage, window area and orientation, insulation, and duct capacity. Then we match equipment to that load. Oversized systems short cycle and leave humidity behind, so bigger is not better. The measurement happens on the visit, before any equipment is ordered.
Should I repair my air conditioner or replace it?
If the system is under about ten years old and the failed part is common, air conditioner repair usually makes sense. If the compressor is gone, the refrigerant is obsolete, or you've paid for two repairs in two seasons, we'll price both paths and let you compare.
Can you install AC in a house with no ducts?
Yes. Ductless mini-splits mount an indoor head on the wall or ceiling and connect to an outdoor unit through a small penetration. They work well for older homes across Oregon and Washington, additions, converted attics, and rooms one central system never reached.
How long does an installation take?
A straight changeout of an existing central system is typically one day. Adding ductwork, moving the indoor unit, or a multi-zone ductless install can run two or three days. We'll give you the schedule in the written scope so you can plan around it.
How soon can you get to a West Linn home?
Most West Linn calls are booked within a day or two, and no-heat or no-cool situations get moved up. Call in the morning if you can, since that is when we set the day's route. If you are without heat in a cold snap or without AC during a heat advisory, tell us when you call and we will treat it accordingly.
How it works
- Step 1
Tell us the symptom
Call or fill in the quote form. Describe the noise, the smell, the temperature, and when it started. That detail helps us bring the right parts and gives you an honest idea of the visit ahead.
- Step 2
We diagnose on site
A technician checks the thermostat, airflow, electrical connections, refrigerant behaviour and the outdoor unit. We tell you what failed and why, in plain language, before anyone reaches for a part or a price.
- Step 3
You choose the repair
We lay out the fix, any parts on order, and what happens if you wait. Once you agree, we do the work and confirm the system holds temperature before we pack up and leave.

Why homeowners call us
- Heat pumps are our normalIn this region heat pumps outnumber furnaces, so defrost boards, reversing valves and short cycling in wet weather are everyday work for us. We know how these systems behave in a cold December rain, not just on a test bench.
- Wet winter defrost problemsIce on the outdoor coil, a unit that runs and runs without warming the house, puddles that refreeze under the pad. We trace whether it is a sensor, a stuck valve, drainage, or airflow, then fix the actual cause.
- Filtration after smoke seasonWildfire smoke turned indoor air quality into a real conversation here. We look at filter fit, return sizing and IAQ options that your blower can actually push air through, rather than choking the system with the wrong media.
- We explain before we chargeYou get the diagnosis, the options and the trade-offs before work starts. If a repair is not worth it on an old system, we say so. No pressure, no jargon dumped on you at the door.
