The independent heating and cooling company across the Willamette Valley and northwest Oregon
HVAC Repair in Portland, OR — Local Techs, One Call
If your house is too hot, too cold, or making a noise it never made before, we can help. We handle HVAC repair in Portland for heat pumps, gas furnaces, air conditioners, ductless mini splits and the ductwork tying them together. Most Portland homes we visit run a heat pump, so we spend a lot of time on defrost boards, reversing valves and low airflow from tired returns. Tell us what the thermostat says and what you hear, and we will bring the parts that match. Call us, or send the details through the quote form and we will follow up.

HVAC repair in Portland, the local picture
We handle heating and cooling repair, replacement and maintenance for Portland homeowners, and if your system is down right now, call us and we will get you on the schedule. Portland housing runs the whole range, from 1920s bungalows in Sellwood with retrofitted ductwork to eastside split-levels and newer infill townhomes, and each one fails in its own way. Heat pumps are everywhere here, which means most of our winter calls are defrost problems: the outdoor coil ices up in wet 35 degree weather and the system never fully clears it. Summers changed too. A few weeks above 95 will find every undersized AC in the city, and smoke season pushed a lot of people into asking real questions about filtration and IAQ. Before you call, you can check thermostat settings and batteries, look for a tripped breaker, swap a loaded filter and clear leaves away from the outdoor unit. Everything past that, we will look at.
Much of Portland went up between the 1900s and the 1950s, with bungalows, four-squares and post-war ranches on the east side. Expect balloon framing, thin wall insulation, basements or crawlspaces, and ductwork added to homes that never planned for it. Retrofit heat pumps often need duct sealing and return air work first.
Day to day we are on I-5, I-84, I-205 and US-26.

How soon can you get to my house in Portland?
Call us and we will give you a real window rather than a guess. Most Portland addresses we can reach same day or next day outside of the heat waves and the first hard freeze, which are the two stretches when everyone calls at once. If your heat is out and the house is dropping, say so when you call and we will treat it that way. We are not a 24 hour operation, so the earlier in the day you reach us the better your odds of a same day slot.
Do you cover the suburbs and Vancouver, or just Portland proper?
Both. We work throughout the Portland metro area and cross the river into Vancouver and the surrounding Washington communities regularly, so a Camas or Battle Ground address is no different to us than a Woodstock one. Same for the west side out through Beaverton, Tigard and Tualatin, and east to Gresham. If you are unsure whether your address is in range, call and tell us the cross streets and we will tell you straight away.
What does a repair visit cost?
We put the whole number in writing before touching the machine, so the invoice never surprises you.
Which brands do you service?
All the majors: Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, York and the rest, gas or electric, independently of any manufacturer.
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.

- Straight answersNot worth fixing? We say that out loud, and often it saves you the visit fee.
