The independent heating and cooling company across the Willamette Valley and northwest Oregon
Thermostat Replacement
We replace failed or outdated thermostats in homes across Oregon and Washington, matching the new control to the heating and cooling equipment you already have. Homeowners usually call when the screen has gone blank, the temperature reading drifts from what the house actually feels like, the system short cycles, or an old control cannot run a heat pump's auxiliary heat correctly. Before you call, check the batteries and confirm the breaker has not tripped. If that does not bring it back, contact us and we will look at the wiring and the equipment together.

What a thermostat replacement involves
We start at the equipment, not the wall. A technician confirms the system type, counts the available wires, and checks whether the old control was staging heat and cooling the way the equipment expects. Then we shut off power, remove the old unit, verify each conductor, and mount and configure the replacement. Configuration matters more than the hardware on heat pumps, since staging, reversing valve setting and lockout points all live in the settings menu. We run a full heat and cool cycle before we pack up.thermermostat left unconfigured causes most callbacks, so we do not skip it.
What we check and what we install
We check for a common wire, since many older homes have four or five conductors and newer controls want power. We look at wire condition where it enters the air handler, the transformer load, and whether a previous replacement left jumpers in odd places. Then we install a control that fits the system: a simple programmable unit for a gas furnace and AC, or a heat pump capable thermostat that manages auxiliary heat instead of calling for it constantly. We walk you through the screens before we leave.
How we decide replacement is the right call
Sometimes it is not the thermostat. A system that will not start can be a blown low voltage fuse, a safety switch that has opened, or a control board problem, and swapping the wall unit would hide that. We test for voltage at the thermostat terminals and confirm the equipment responds to a direct call. If the control is reading wrong, losing settings, or cannot manage your heat pump's staging, replacement makes sense. If the equipment is the problem, we tell you that first and price the actual repair.

Will a new thermostat work with my heat pump?
Only if it is heat pump capable and configured for it. A standard furnace thermostat cannot manage a reversing valve or auxiliary heat lockouts, which is why we confirm equipment type before choosing the replacement.
My thermostat is blank. Does that mean I need a new one?
Not always. Try fresh batteries and check the breaker. A blank screen can also come from a blown low voltage fuse or an open safety switch at the equipment, which we test for on site.
Do I need a smart thermostat?
No. Smart controls help if you want remote adjustment and usage data, but a straightforward programmable unit runs the same equipment just as reliably. We talk through both and let you choose.
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.
