FAQs
How can I tell if my heat pump needs professional repair?
Common warning signs include insufficient heating or cooling, weak airflow, short-cycling, unusual noises (grinding, buzzing, or squealing), ice buildup on the outdoor unit, and higher-than-normal energy bills. If you notice any of these symptoms, turn the system off and schedule a diagnostic visit. Early intervention prevents small issues—such as a failing capacitor or low refrigerant—from turning into compressor failure or other costly repairs.
What heat pump services do you provide to Hillsboro homeowners?
We handle complete heat-pump care: troubleshooting and repair of electric and dual-fuel systems, refrigerant leak detection and recharge, thermostat replacement, defrost board and reversing-valve repair, emergency after-hours service, and routine maintenance plans. We also perform system sizing, replacement, and new high-efficiency installations that comply with Oregon’s energy code and local permitting requirements.
How fast can you respond to a no-heat or no-cool emergency in Hillsboro?
Our technicians are on call 24/7. For customers in Hillsboro, we aim for same-day service—often within 2–4 hours of your call—depending on weather and traffic. Fully stocked service vans allow most critical repairs to be completed on the first visit, so you’re not left waiting in uncomfortable temperatures.
Do you service all heat-pump brands and models?
Yes. Our EPA-certified techs are trained on variable-speed, inverter, and conventional systems from major manufacturers such as Trane, Carrier, Daikin, Mitsubishi, Lennox, Rheem, and Bryant. We also service older or less common brands, source OEM or high-quality aftermarket parts, and keep manufacturer warranties intact by following factory repair procedures.
How does regular maintenance help avoid expensive repairs?
A spring and fall tune-up includes coil cleaning, filter replacement, electrical tightening, airflow measurement, refrigerant charge check, condensate drain clearing, and defrost cycle verification. These tasks restore efficiency (up to 25 % energy savings), extend equipment life, and allow us to detect worn parts before they fail. Enrolling in our Comfort Care Plan yields priority scheduling, documented service records for warranty claims, and discounts on any needed repairs.
Are there rebates or incentives for upgrading an old heat pump in Hillsboro?
Yes. Energy Trust of Oregon offers cash incentives—currently up to $800—for qualifying high-efficiency heat-pump installations. PGE and Pacific Power customers may access additional rebates or on-bill financing. Federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act can cover 30 % of the project cost (up to $2,000) for ENERGY STAR certified units installed after Jan 1, 2023. We’ll help you select eligible equipment, complete paperwork, and maximize every available savings opportunity.
