Family-Owned Portland Heating Company — Since 2008
Portland winters are wet, long, and cold enough to kill a furnace that's been limping along for years. When your heating system stops producing warm air — or starts making noises it shouldn't — you need a contractor who actually knows the equipment, not someone reading a troubleshooting chart.
Our NATE-certified technicians work on gas furnaces, heat pumps, ductless mini-splits, boilers, and hybrid systems every day. We've been doing this in Portland since 2008 — long enough to know which systems hold up here and which ones don't.
Same-day emergency repairs, new system installs, annual maintenance — all with upfront pricing so you know the cost before we touch anything.

Heating Systems We Install and Service
Each system has trade-offs. Here's what works in Portland — and what we recommend based on your home and budget.
Gas Furnaces
Still the most popular choice in Portland. Modern condensing furnaces hit 95–98% AFUE — meaning almost every dollar of gas becomes heat.
Explore FurnacesHeat Pumps
One system handles heating and cooling. Heat pumps pull warmth from outdoor air in winter and reverse for AC in summer — 300–400% efficient in Portland's mild climate.
Explore Heat PumpsDuctless Mini-Splits
No ductwork? No problem. Wall-mounted heads heat individual rooms — great for older Portland homes, additions, and converted garages.
Explore DuctlessHybrid Heat Pumps
Pairs a heat pump with a gas furnace. The system auto-switches to whichever fuel source costs less at any given temperature — lowest possible energy bills.
Explore HybridElectric Furnaces
100% efficient at converting electricity to heat. Simple, no combustion, no gas line needed — solid option if natural gas isn't available.
Explore ElectricAir Handlers
The indoor unit that houses the blower fan and evaporator coil. Pairs with a heat pump or AC to move conditioned air through your ductwork.

How much does heating repair cost in Portland?
Most heating repairs in Portland fall between $150–$500. What drives the price:
- What failed — an ignitor is $150–$250, a blower motor is $300–$600, a control board is $400–$800
- Age and model of your furnace or heat pump — older units sometimes need harder-to-find parts
- Labor time — a flame sensor cleaning takes 30 minutes, a heat exchanger swap takes most of a day
- After-hours or emergency dispatch — though we never charge overtime rates
You get the price before we start. No guessing, no surprises. Call (503) 698-5588.
What's the best heating system for Portland homes?
Portland's mild, wet winters give you good options:
- Heat pumps — 300–400% efficient in our climate. Heat and cool with one system. Best bang for buck in Portland.
- High-efficiency gas furnaces — 95%+ AFUE. Proven, reliable, and NW Natural gas is still cheap here.
- Ductless mini-splits — great for older Portland homes with no ductwork, or adding heat to a single room.
- Hybrid systems — heat pump + gas furnace combo. The system switches fuel sources based on temperature for the lowest operating cost.
Energy Trust of Oregon offers up to $3,000 in rebates for qualifying high-efficiency systems. We handle the paperwork.

When should I replace my furnace vs. repair it?
Here's the honest breakdown:
- Age: Past 15–20 years, efficiency drops and parts get harder to source
- Repair cost: If the repair exceeds 50% of a new system's price, replacement usually makes more sense
- Rising bills: An older furnace losing efficiency shows up on your PGE or NW Natural bill every month
- Uneven heating: Some rooms hot, others cold — the system can't distribute heat properly anymore
- Strange noises: Banging, rattling, or squealing means something mechanical is failing
- Yellow pilot light: Should be blue. Yellow can indicate incomplete combustion — potential CO risk
We'll tell you straight whether a repair makes sense or you're better off putting that money toward a new system. We don't push replacements for the sake of a bigger ticket.
What heating maintenance do I need annually?
Schedule it in fall before you actually need the heat. Here's what we do during a tune-up:
- Inspect and clean burners and heat exchanger
- Check gas connections for leaks
- Test ignition system and safety controls
- Lubricate moving parts
- Calibrate the thermostat
- Inspect ductwork for leaks
- Replace or clean the air filter
- Measure airflow and adjust as needed
- Run a carbon monoxide safety check
A $150 tune-up in October prevents a $600 emergency repair in January. It also keeps your manufacturer warranty valid — skip maintenance and most warranties are void.
Are there rebates for new heating systems in Oregon?
Yes — and they add up fast:
- Energy Trust of Oregon: Up to $3,000 for qualifying heat pumps
- Federal tax credits: Up to 30% of install costs for heat pumps (max $2,000)
- NW Natural rebates: $400–$800 for high-efficiency gas furnaces
- Manufacturer rebates: Bryant and other brands run seasonal promotions
Stack them together and you can knock $3,000–$5,000+ off a new heating system. We identify every rebate you qualify for and handle the paperwork.
