Portland Heating & Cooling Company

What We Take Care Of — and How to Get Started

We handle the full range of residential HVAC work: furnace repairs and replacements, central air conditioning repair and new installs, heat pumps, ductless mini-splits, and ductwork sealing and replacement. If it moves conditioned air through your home, we work on it. That includes tune-ups before summer or winter, second opinions when another contractor quoted you something that felt off, and emergency calls when your system quits at the wrong moment — which, in Portland, is always at the wrong moment.

Getting started is straightforward. Call us, tell us what's going on, and we'll get a technician out — often same day. We don't charge overtime rates for evenings or weekends. The price you're quoted before we start is what shows up on your bill.

What You Get From a Shop That's Been Here Since 2008

We're not a national franchise that staffed up in Portland last year. We've been running crews in the metro since 2008 — through the summers when the whole region realized it wasn't prepared, through the wet winters that punish poorly maintained heat exchangers, through every code change Oregon has issued since then. Our technicians are NATE-certified. The company is licensed, bonded, and insured in Oregon. Those aren't marketing bullet points; they're the baseline we hold ourselves to because our name and reputation are tied to every job we touch.

There's a real difference between a local shop and a call-center-dispatched crew. When you call Efficiency Heating & Cooling, you're talking to someone who knows the territory — the housing stock, the common failure points in these systems, which brands hold up in our climate and which don't. We give you a straight answer about whether a repair makes sense or whether the unit is past its useful life. We don't manufacture urgency to sell equipment you don't need yet.

When Your Furnace or AC Stops Working

A failed furnace on a January night or a dead AC unit during a heat event isn't a scheduling problem — it's an emergency. Furnace repair is one of the calls we take most seriously because the stakes are real. Same with cooling failures in July. We built our availability model around the fact that systems don't fail on weekday business hours, and we don't penalize you financially when they don't.

If you're not sure whether to repair or replace, or you just want someone to take a look before the season changes, visit our site or call us directly. We'll give you an honest read — and leave the decision with you.
