Portland heating systems work hardest from October through April, and the summer heat waves of recent years have pushed many homeowners to add air conditioning for the first time. Heat pumps and ductless systems have become a common answer to both, helped along by rebates from Energy Trust of Oregon.
The HVAC companies below install, repair and maintain furnaces, heat pumps, ductless systems and AC across the Portland metro.

Oregon requires HVAC contractors to carry a CCB license, and the technicians need the right state mechanical licenses. Check both.
Energy Trust of Oregon offers incentives on qualifying heat pumps installed by approved trade allies. Ask whether the company is one and whether it handles the paperwork.
Many Portland homes can replace a furnace and add cooling with one heat pump. A good contractor runs a load calculation before recommending a size.
A fall furnace tune-up and spring AC check catch most problems early. Compare what each plan covers and whether it includes priority service.
Manufacturer warranties cover parts, but installation errors are on the contractor. Some Portland companies offer lifetime workmanship warranties on installs.
Portland’s mild but damp climate makes heat pumps and ductless systems a strong fit for many homes. Pick a licensed contractor who knows the rebate programs and sizes the system properly.
