EQUIPMENT Repair & REPLACEMENT

Typically, with any heating & cooling system, the rumors are true: as soon as you need your furnace or air conditioner, it starts to fail. That's because the equipment has either not been maintained, or the equipment is starting to near the end of its life cycle. If your system begins to give you any trouble, don't hesitate to give us a call! We have friendly and professional office staff & technicians ready and willing to help you with your heating and cooling needs. Our technicians are highly certified and trained to diagnose and repair the following brands of systems, including: 

• Trane
• Rheem
• Ruud
• American Standard
• Coleman
• Lennox
• Carrier
• Bryant
• Mitsubishi
• York
• Payne

When purchasing a new system, do you think size doesn't matter? Don't be fooled. A properly sized air conditioning and heating unit makes all the difference in the world. That's why we do a load calculation on your home to determine the heat loss, so you pick the right equipment every time. Our full Portland heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) contractor services range from residential projects to light commercial work, which includes:

• Gas and Electric Furnaces
• Air Conditioners
• Heat Pumps
• Ductless Heat Pumps

No matter the scope, we'll get the job done right.

Most contractors are out the door when the furnace gets turned on with the installation of the job only 90% complete. However, we make sure to check the airflow, run the furnace in emergency heat and defrost mode, check the temperature rise in each cycle, and make sure everything's running smoothly before we leave the home. Once a year passes, we recommend scheduling a Multi-Point Precision Tune Up to maintain the warranty status, and ensure your system is running properly and efficiently.

Equipment Maintenance

Equipment maintenance is crucial when it comes to your heating and cooling system. Most homeowners may not be aware, but tuning the equipment is just as important as changing the oil in your car! Not only will an annual maintenance enhance the performance of the equipment, but it will also prolong the life of your equipment and prevent the manufacturer's warranty from becoming void.

We recommended having a 20-Point Precision Tune Up done once every year, if not once every two years for your air conditioner. For a list of what is included in our 20-Point Precision Tune Up, please see below.

indoor air quality improvements

Do you or any of your family members suffer from these symptoms? 

 Breathing Challenges
 Allergies
 Asthma
 Sinus Infections
 Headaches
 Sleep Difficulties

If so, they may be caused by your indoor air quality. That's where we come in!  Our Home Solutions Advisers and Service Technicians are highly qualified to assess your indoor air quality situation and determine which product would work best for your living conditions. These air quality solutions range from electronic air cleaners & media air filters to Ultra-Violet & Air Purification systems.

You may not know it, but airborne viruses and bacteria can stay airborne for up to 24 to 48 hours! To combat these viruses, we turn to cleaning products with bleach and fragrances that emit harmful chemicals into the air that can cause just as much harm as a bacteria-filled room would.  Before getting overwhelmed, let us introduce a newer product to you called The Air Scrubber Plus.

The UV light kills these harmful agents in 1/4 of a second!

Have allergies or an asthmatic person in your home? Assessing your IAQ (Indoor Air Quality) can also be highly beneficial to determine which product would work best for your living conditions.

There are three basic strategies to improve your indoor air quality:

1) Source Control
2) Improved Ventilation
3) Air Cleaners

If you're worried about your indoor air quality, give us a call today at 503-579-2250. We'll help you clear things right up.
