Your Trusted Choice for AC Repair in Beaverton
When your AC fails during a July heat wave in Cedar Hills or Murrayhill, you need a local expert who knows Beaverton's unique climate challenges. Our technicians serve the Nike campus area and the surrounding mid-century ranch homes that define Beaverton's neighborhoods. We understand the specific cooling issues in older Beaverton homes built without central AC, and we specialize in retrofit installations that respect your home's original architecture.
Beaverton's basalt soil, dense tree canopy coverage, and diverse housing stock—from 1970s Cedar Hills ranches to newer Murrayhill construction—create unique HVAC challenges. Our team has been serving Beaverton families since 2008, and we've seen it all: inadequate return air in retrofit systems, outdoor units battling shade and drainage issues, and builder-grade capacitors failing right on schedule.
Beaverton Neighborhoods We Serve
We provide expert AC repair throughout Beaverton, with deep knowledge of each neighborhood's unique HVAC challenges:
Cedar Hills
Our team frequently serves the Cedar Hills area, where many 1970s-era homes were built without central AC. Common issues include inadequate return air for retrofit systems and ductwork sizing challenges. We've completed hundreds of AC installations and repairs in Cedar Hills, understanding the specific needs of mid-century ranch homes with limited attic access.
Murrayhill
The newer construction in Murrayhill often features builder-grade AC systems that require frequent capacitor replacements after 8-10 years. We stock Carrier and Bryant parts specifically for these neighborhoods and can typically complete repairs in a single visit. Multi-level homes in Murrayhill also benefit from our zoning expertise.
Five Oaks
Homes near the Five Oaks area often have dense tree coverage that restricts outdoor unit airflow and creates drainage issues with Beaverton's basalt soil. We provide specialized coil cleaning services and outdoor unit placement recommendations for shade-heavy properties.
Sexton Mountain & Nike Campus Area
Properties near the Nike campus and Sexton Mountain benefit from our commercial-grade experience. We understand the higher cooling demands in this area and recommend appropriately-sized systems to handle Beaverton's increasingly hot summers.
Greenway
The Greenway neighborhood's mix of older and newer construction means we see a wide variety of AC systems. Our technicians carry parts for all major brands and can diagnose issues quickly, from vintage systems to modern high-efficiency units.
What Beaverton Homeowners Say
"Our AC died during the heat wave last July, and Efficiency Heating had a technician at our Cedar Hills home within 2 hours. The capacitor replacement was done quickly, and our house was cool again before dinner. They really understand these older Beaverton homes!"
— Sarah M., Cedar Hills, Beaverton
"I've used them for furnace and AC maintenance for 3 years now in Murrayhill. They know Beaverton's climate and always arrive on time. Last summer they caught a refrigerant leak before it became a major problem. Highly recommend for Beaverton homeowners!"
— Tom R., Murrayhill, Beaverton
Recent Beaverton AC Repair Project
Last month, we completed an emergency AC repair for a homeowner near the Beaverton Town Center. Their 12-year-old Carrier system had a failed compressor contactor, a common issue we see in Beaverton's mid-2000s construction boom. The homeowner called us at 11 AM during a 95°F heat wave, and we had their system running again by 3 PM.
Challenge:
Failed contactor during 95°F heat wave, system not starting
Solution:
Same-day contactor replacement + full system inspection
Location:
Near Beaverton Town Center (Murrayhill area)
System:
2011 Carrier 3-ton split system
Result: System running efficiently within 4 hours of the initial call. We also cleaned the condenser coils (common issue in tree-heavy Beaverton neighborhoods) and tested refrigerant levels. The homeowner was comfortable again and saved thousands compared to emergency replacement during peak summer.
