Neighborhoods closest to our headquarters include Historic Downtown Milwaukie, Ardenwald, Island Station, Lake Road, Lewelling, Linwood, Hector Campbell, Oak Grove and Gladstone. Most of our installation crews start their day here.
Our headquarters is in Milwaukie, not a satellite office. When you call for service in Milwaukie, the technician is usually coming from a few minutes away rather than across the metro.
Milwaukie sits between the Willamette River, Kellogg Creek and Johnson Creek. River-adjacent neighborhoods see more fog and damp crawlspaces, and spring cottonwood from the river corridors clogs outdoor coils. We factor those conditions into every load calculation and maintenance visit.
These are the same figures we publish for the whole metro. Final pricing depends on your home, and we give written quotes before work starts.
Current utility and Energy Trust of Oregon incentives are listed on our rebates page, and payment plans are on our financing page.
Some of the oldest homes in Milwaukie are here, many built before 1940. Converted gravity systems, floor registers and minimal insulation are common, and so are oversized replacement furnaces that cycle hot and cold.
Ardenwald homes near the Orange Line are adding ADUs. Those usually need their own ductless heat pump rather than a branch off the main house system.
This is the ranch-home core of Milwaukie, mostly built in the 1950s through the 1970s. Long crawlspace duct runs to the far bedrooms are typical, and those runs often leak at the joints.
Lewelling homes near Johnson Creek see more crawlspace moisture than the rest of town. We check ducts for condensation and recommend vapor barriers where the ground is wet.
Compact bungalows and cottages sit close together here, so outdoor unit placement and sound matter. We site condensers and heat pumps away from bedroom windows and neighboring homes.
Homes near Kellogg Lake and the river see heavy cottonwood in late spring. A coil cleaning in late May keeps cooling capacity up through summer.
Mixed residential and light commercial along Highway 99E. Road dust affects outdoor units and indoor air, so we recommend higher-grade media filtration in these homes.
Businesses along McLoughlin often prefer maintenance scheduled outside business hours. We service rooftop units, split systems and packaged equipment for commercial customers.
Carma bought a furnace from our Milwaukie team more than ten years ago and has kept it on an annual tune-up schedule ever since.
"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."
Carma Gallucci, Google review
Annual maintenance is how we keep Milwaukie furnaces running well past their first decade. See our maintenance plans for what each visit includes.
Darryl's aging system died the summer after he moved into his home. Instead of a like-for-like swap, Jason found that the old system was oversized and priced options sized to the house.
"The staff was amazing and provided me with information and options tailored to my needs, rather than doing a straight across replacement of the old system that was clearly oversized for this home as we learned while Jason was working on our options and associated estimates."
Darryl Handasyde, Google review
We run a load calculation before quoting a replacement, because the old equipment size is often wrong for the house.
AC and heat pump tune-ups. Book before cottonwood season in late May so the outdoor coil is clean going into summer.
Peak cooling demand. Replace filters more often during wildfire smoke, and call early if the system struggles on the first hot days.
Furnace tune-ups before the first cold snap. Fall is also a good time for duct sealing ahead of the heating season.
No-heat calls rise when temperatures drop. Heat pump owners should watch for ice that stays on the outdoor coil after a defrost cycle.

At 14913 SE Kellogg Ave, Milwaukie, OR 97267. It is our main office, and most installation crews start their day there.
Late spring, before cottonwood season and the first heat. A clean coil going into summer reduces breakdowns in July and August.
Our diagnostic visit is $189, and that fee is applied to the repair if you go ahead. We quote the repair before any work starts.
Central air conditioning starts at $6,995. Heat pumps and ductless mini-splits start at $5,995, and premium variable-speed systems top out around $12,500. Installation quotes are free.
We start with a static-pressure test, seal leaky returns and balance the branches. In Milwaukie ranch homes with long crawlspace runs, duct repair often fixes the problem without new equipment.
Yes, when the schedule allows. Our technicians are based a few minutes away, and no-heat or no-cooling emergencies are handled through our 24/7 emergency line.

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 10/10System inspection
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.Furnace & heat pump maintenance
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!Maintenance membership
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!AC repair
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.System diagnosis
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.Heat pump estimate

They are dependable and knowledgeable every time I deal with them. I highly recommend them.Furnace install & tune-ups
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!100+ year old home
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!Duct leak repair
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.HVAC service
Tristan was very professional. He was on time and explained everything thoroughly. I appreciated the no pressure conversation of future work that could be done with my heating system.Heating system service
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!System installation
You'll talk to someone in our Milwaukie office, not a call center. We'll get a tech out and give you the price before any work starts.
