Hillsboro HVAC: Heating and Cooling for Washington County

Furnace, AC and heat pump service for Hillsboro homes and townhomes, from Orenco Station and AmberGlen to South Hillsboro and the older streets near downtown.

Hillsboro HVAC for Townhomes, New Builds and Older Homes

Hillsboro's housing has grown fast. Orenco Station, AmberGlen and South Hillsboro added thousands of townhomes and two-story homes, while the blocks around downtown still hold older houses with original ductwork.

Newer homes are tighter and lean on mechanical ventilation, so a failed fan or a clogged filter shows up as stuffy rooms quickly. Older homes leak more air and usually need duct work before new equipment will perform.

Hillsboro is served from our Portland office at 4409 SE 24th Ave. Plan on about 40 minutes of drive time on US 26, so booking ahead gets you the best window.

Builder-Grade Systems Reaching Their First Replacement

Many homes built during Hillsboro's growth are now 15 to 20 years old, and the original builder-installed systems are wearing out. Those systems were often sized from a quick rule of thumb rather than a load calculation.

When we quote a replacement, we run the load numbers for your actual floor plan. In a lot of two-story Hillsboro homes the right answer is a variable-speed heat pump that runs longer at low output, which keeps the upstairs from overheating.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Or just call (503) 698-5588

How far ahead should I book HVAC service in Hillsboro?

Hillsboro is about 40 minutes from our Portland office, so a day or two of notice gets you the best appointment window. No-heat and no-cool emergencies are handled around the clock.

Is my Hillsboro townhome system the right size?

Not always. Builder systems were often sized by rule of thumb. If upstairs rooms overheat or the system short-cycles, a load calculation and airflow test will tell you whether the equipment or the ducts are the problem.

Do you service the ventilation fans in newer Hillsboro homes?

Yes. We check ERV and HRV units and continuous exhaust fans, clean or replace their filters and confirm they are moving air as designed.

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

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.

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.

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!
