We had a duct cleaning today. We bought the house new 7+ years ago. The representative took numerous photos showing all of the dust and building debris that had never been cleared when the house was offered for sale. He took great care with the home, answered all of our questions, and even cleaned off the return "grilles". Very professional. Totally recommend this company.

Full AC replacement. Work took longer than expected. Higher prices than other quotes. Install tech was very unprofessional and sketchy. New equipment broke in a short time period. I had to pay big for their “labor” to replace their inferior choice of components. Hundreds of dollars.

I would never recommend this company

Repair technician was very professional.

Called efficiency to install central A/C. David came over and did a thorough inspection beforehand. I had some open questions about how to get some return vents downstairs, so then he called in one of their installers, Will, who popped by to help as well.

David and Will together figured out how to get return vents in for me downstairs and also an affordable way to fix the extreme temperature difference between the two floors.

I had called around for a few quotes and Efficiency is the only one that could get return vents in and treated the lack of return vents on the lower level as an actual problem instead of minor inconvenience.

I’ve waited a little over a week after install to test the system before leaving a review. Am happy to say that my the A/C works VERY well for both floors. I also have the fan option going at all times so there’s no more stale air just hanging out downstairs making a stink.

Aaron, the technician who actually came to install, worked quickly and efficiently even though my house is under remodel and kind of a disaster.

Overall I am super pleased with their expertise and would recommend them to anyone looking to get HVAC work done. I will be reaching out to them for future work.

Trusted Among Portland’s Top Locally-Owned Furnace Tune-Up Companies

Experience the benefits of our expert furnace tune-up services, designed to boost efficiency and comfort in both residential and commercial properties. Whether you’re scheduling a routine tune-up or addressing specific performance concerns, our experienced technicians ensure your furnace operates reliably and efficiently. Contact us today to schedule your tune-up or get answers to any questions about keeping your heating system in peak condition.

What is a Furnace Tune-Up?

A furnace tune-up is a comprehensive service that professional HVAC technicians perform to ensure your furnace operates safely and efficiently. The technician checks, cleans, and tests different parts of your heating system.

This includes looking at the heat exchanger for cracks and cleaning the blower wheel. They also make sure your system doesn’t have dust and debris buildup.

The goal is to find problems early and keep your furnace working at its best. Regular tune-ups help your heating system last longer, prevent expensive repairs, and keep your home safe.

Professional heat pump maintenance follows similar principles for optimal performance.

Why Regular Maintenance Matters

Regular maintenance ensures your heating system operates efficiently for many years. Without routine furnace care, your heating system loses efficiency quickly.

This leads to higher energy bills and unexpected breakdowns. Regular maintenance prevents these problems by identifying and resolving issues early.

Good maintenance also makes your system last longer. This saves you money on replacement costs and keeps your home warm all winter.

Professional AC maintenance offers similar benefits for cooling systems.

How to Extend Furnace Life with Regular Tune-Ups

Prevent Early System Failure

Indoor heating systems can last up to 20 years, but many have major problems much sooner. This occurs due to neglect, dust accumulation, inadequate maintenance, and improper installation.

Regular tune-ups prevent these issues by keeping your system clean and properly adjusted. This helps your furnace reach its full lifespan potential.

Poor installation can affect your equipment’s life and performance from the very beginning. Quality heat pump installation and maintenance prevent these problems.

Professional Standards Make a Difference

We don’t just meet industry standards – we exceed them. When you invest in our services, you get a top-quality system that delivers efficient performance.

Our highly trained Portland HVAC technicians ensure that every tune-up is performed correctly. This attention to detail significantly extends the life of the furnace.

Quality artistry during installation and maintenance prevents premature system failure. Professional heating and cooling services ensure optimal performance.

NATE Certified Technician Services

Expert Installation and Maintenance

Installing a heat pump or furnace, as well as routine tuning, requires a NATE-certified HVAC contractor. Our certified technicians have the experience and training to provide quick and easy heating services.

Professional installation and regular tune-ups are crucial for ensuring proper furnace operation. There’s no other way to ensure your furnace installation is done right.

At Efficiency Heating & Cooling, we guide you through every step of your heating system tune-up. We ensure you have everything needed to keep your home warm throughout the winter.

Complete Service Solutions

If you need more than a standard furnace tune-up, we can help you find a furnace that’s appropriately sized and fits your budget. Schedule a furnace tune-up, and our technicians will arrive promptly.

We also offer comprehensive AC repair and heat pump repair services.

Seasonal Tune-Ups Keep You Warm

Fall and Winter Preparation

Tuning your furnace system isn’t as complex as it sounds. For homeowners who’ve had a furnace for some time, it’s one of the most manageable maintenance tasks.

If you’re having furnace trouble or notice higher energy bills, it’s time to consult with a furnace specialist.

Seasonal maintenance ensures your system is prepared for the demands of cold weather.

Portland Metro Area Services

If you live in Portland-area cities like Tigard, Beaverton, Clackamas, or Lake Oswego, dust and pollen may clog your filter more than normal city pollution.

Notable signs that furnace maintenance is needed include increasing energy bills or poor home air quality. These indicate your heating system needs professional attention.

Before starting furnace tuning, we determine precisely what heating system you have. This enables us to provide the most effective maintenance approach.

Signs You Need a Furnace Tune-Up

Age and Performance Issues

Your furnace is more than 10 years old and showing signs of wear. You’ve noticed an increase in your energy bills without explanation.

Your furnace makes strange noises during operation. You replace furnace filters more often than usual.

If you experience any of these signs, it’s time for a furnace tune-up. Contact a furnace technician to schedule an appointment.

Common Problems Requiring Attention

Lack of Airflow: If your furnace isn’t blowing air like it used to, it needs a tune-up. This can result from a dirty filter, a broken fan, or other issues.

Uneven Heating: One of the most significant signs that your furnace needs a tune-up is uneven heating throughout your home. If one side of your house stays much colder than the other, your furnace needs maintenance.

Frequent Repair Needs: If you constantly call for furnace repairs, it’s time for a tune-up. A tune-up identifies minor problems before they become expensive repairs.

Noisy Operation: A loud furnace might indicate problems with the fan, belt, or motor. Strange noises mean it’s time for professional attention.

High Energy Bills: Rising energy bills often signal it’s time for a furnace tune-up. A tune-up helps your system run more efficiently, saving you money in the long term.

Benefits of Professional Furnace Tune-Ups

Performance and Efficiency Improvements

Professional furnace tune-ups offer many benefits that enhance your heating system’s performance and safety:

Improved Efficiency: Well-maintained furnaces operate more efficiently, providing consistent warm air and reducing energy consumption.

Reduced Energy Bills: Optimizing your heating system’s performance lowers energy bills and reduces operating costs.

Extended Furnace Life: Regular maintenance prolongs the life of your heating system, delaying costly replacements.

Safety and Reliability Benefits

Improved Safety: Professional tune-ups reduce the risk of carbon monoxide leaks and other safety hazards, ensuring a safer home environment.

Reduced Breakdown Risk: Routine maintenance prevents unexpected breakdowns, saving you from inconvenient and expensive repairs.

Enhanced Indoor Air Quality: Cleaning and maintaining your furnace helps improve indoor air quality, contributing to a healthier living environment.

Maintenance Schedule and Recommendations

Annual Service Requirements

Schedule a furnace tune-up annually, typically before the heating season starts. Annual furnace tune-ups ensure your heating system runs efficiently and safely.

Regular tune-ups help prevent breakdowns and costly repairs. They also allow HVAC technicians to identify potential issues before they become major concerns.

By keeping up with annual furnace maintenance, you enjoy a warm and comfortable home all winter long.
