Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Or just call (503) 698-5588

How often should HVAC filters be replaced to ensure optimal performance?

HVAC filters should typically be replaced every 1-3 months, depending on usage and filter type. Homes with pets, allergies, or high dust levels may need more frequent replacements (every 30-60 days). Higher-efficiency MERV 11-13 filters may last up to 3 months in average conditions. Our NATE-certified technicians recommend checking your filter monthly, as a clogged filter reduces airflow by up to 15%, increasing energy costs and causing premature system wear.

Can upgrading my HVAC filtration system save money in the long run?

Yes, upgrading to a high-efficiency filtration system can reduce energy costs by 5-15% and extend system lifespan by 3-5 years, saving thousands in replacement costs. Better filtration also reduces dust accumulation on components, improving efficiency and reducing maintenance needs. Portland-area homeowners typically save $200-400 annually on energy bills after upgrading to HEPA or electronic air cleaners, plus reduced HVAC repair costs.

What are the signs that my HVAC system needs maintenance?

Key warning signs include: unusual noises (grinding, squealing, banging), inconsistent temperatures between rooms, increased energy bills (10%+ without usage changes), reduced airflow from vents, frequent cycling on/off, strange odors, and visible dust accumulation around vents. Our preventive maintenance plans catch 80% of potential failures before they become expensive emergencies.

How does regular maintenance impact the cost of running an HVAC system?

Regular maintenance keeps equipment running closer to its rated efficiency, catches worn parts before they fail, and helps delay a full system replacement. A yearly visit costs far less than an emergency repair or a new system, and gas furnace installs alone run $4,495-$9,000.

Is a heat pump a good choice for Portland homes?

Yes, modern heat pumps are excellent for Portland's climate with rare temperatures below 25°F. They provide efficient heating and cooling in one system, reducing energy costs by 30-50% vs. traditional furnace/AC combinations. Many qualify for Energy Trust of Oregon rebates ($750-2,500). We've installed 500+ heat pumps in Portland since 2008, and cold-climate models work efficiently down to -15°F.

Phil did a great job of carefully examining all the components of our almost 20 year old HVAC system. He took detailed photos and videos to show me the status. And he didn’t try to sell me anything else! Great experience 10/10

George M.Happy Valley office
Efficiency Heating and Cooling came out to our home to do general maintenance on our furnace and heat pump, and also level our heat pump. Tristan was our technician. His work was efficient and thorough. He explained everything he did and told me what Efficiency H&C had to offering the way of maintenance programs. I am very happy with the services we received.

This was my first time working with this company, and it was an amazing experience! Wayne was super personable, and explained things thoroughly and transparently. The cost was reasonable and that was with the maintenance membership program we joined. Highly recommend this business!

I definitely recommend Efficiency! On this year's hottest day my AC quit working and Efficiency was able to send a technician right out. He fixed it quickly (luckily it was not a major issue) and now I'm basking in cool air. Thank you so much!

Tristan was very thorough with diagnosing the issues with my system and walked me through them so I could better understand my options for repair. We’ve had a few HVAC techs look at our system over the last decade or so, and Tristan was by far the best.

Jason came out for an estimate for a heat pump for my house. He listened to what I was looking for function-wise, evaluated the property, gave me a quote with 4 options, and explained the pros and cons of each. He was thorough, friendly, and not at all condescending (women, if you know, you know). Very professional.

I bought a furnace from these folks over 10 years ago and was very impressed with their work. I've had them tune up my furnace every year since and it's still the great quality and friendly service. They are dependable and knowledgeable every time I deal with them. I highly recommend them.

Efficiency Heating and Cooling is a great company to work with. They gave me multiple options based on personal wants/needs with my 100+ year old house and were patient helping educate me and navigate to a decision. They were prompt, scheduling was easy, very professional, knowledgeable, and walked through with me how my system works once the job was complete. Couldn’t be happier from beginning to end and would heartily recommend them!

Called so many companies to find someone who did duct work beyond cleaning (I had a leak in the duct) and.so glad I got a hold of these guys. Professional, fast, and thorough. Great all around!

Hire them immediately! Super fair pricing, great service. My Technician, Tristian was communicative and thorough. I tried hiring another company prior and they had me pre-pay, after tons of no shows and shoddy work followed by more no shows I demanded my money back and happily gave it to Efficiency Heating and Cooling.

What a great experience with Efficiency. From the estimate process to installation, they made everything seamless and easy. When we hit an unexpected snag during installation, they kept us well informed about what was going on how it might affect the timeline. They got everything done and the system is working great!
