HVAC Repair in Oregon

Yes. Heat pumps are the most common system we see in Oregon homes, and we handle heating repair and air conditioning repair on the same equipment since it does both jobs. We also service gas furnaces, electric furnaces, ductless mini splits and the air handlers paired with them. If you're not sure what you have, describe the outdoor unit and whether it runs in winter and we can usually sort it out over the phone.

Usually not. That's a defrost cycle, and in our wet winters it happens often because frost builds on the outdoor coil overnight. The unit reverses briefly, melts the ice, then goes back to heating, and the steam you see is normal. Call us if the coil stays iced over for hours, if the outdoor fan never restarts, or if the house keeps losing temperature. Those point to a stuck reversing valve, a bad defrost board or a sensor problem.

Five things, and none of them involve opening the equipment. Check that the thermostat is set to cool with a lower setpoint than the room temperature, and swap the batteries if the screen is dim or blank. Look for a tripped breaker at the panel. Change the filter if it's grey and packed. Clear leaves, blackberry canes and grass clippings back a couple of feet from the outdoor unit. Confirm supply vents and returns aren't blocked by furniture. Anything involving gas, refrigerant or high voltage is ours to handle.

Leave the house immediately, take everyone and any pets with you, and don't touch light switches, the thermostat or your phone until you're outside and away. Call 911 or your gas utility from a safe distance and let them clear the property. The same applies if a carbon monoxide alarm sounds. Once the utility says it's safe to go back in, call us and we'll inspect the furnace, heat exchanger and venting before you run it again.

We cover homeowners across Oregon and Washington, and each city page lists what we handle in that area. Scheduling depends on the season. A no-heat call during a cold snap or a no-cool call during a smoke and heat stretch fills the book fast, so call early in the day if you can. We'll give you a real window rather than a vague promise, and we'll tell you straight if we can't reach you the same day.
