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

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. Whether you need a full-service furnace company or ac heat pump specialists, 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. If you're torn between electric and gas, see how an air handler compares to a furnace.
Gas Furnaces
Still the most popular choice in Portland. Modern condensing furnaces hit 95-98% AFUE, meaning almost every dollar of gas becomes heat.
Heat 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.
Ductless Mini-Splits
No ductwork? No problem. Wall-mounted heads heat individual rooms, great for older Portland homes, additions, and converted garages.
Hybrid 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.
Electric Furnaces
100% efficient at converting electricity to heat. Simple, no combustion, no gas line needed. A solid option if natural gas isn't available.
Air 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.
Premium Partners
Brands We Install and Service

How much does heating repair cost in Portland?
Heating repair starts with a $189 diagnostic, applied to the repair if you go ahead. We quote the repair before any work starts, so you approve the exact price first, with no surprises.
What's the best heating system for Portland homes?
Heat pumps are hard to beat in Portland, 300-400% efficient in our mild climate, and they handle heating and cooling. Gas furnaces (95%+ AFUE) remain solid. Ductless mini-splits work great for older homes without ductwork. Energy Trust of Oregon offers up to $3,000 in rebates.
Do you offer emergency heating repair near me?
Yes, 24/7 emergency heating repair throughout Portland metro. No overtime charges. 90-minute average response time. Call (503) 698-5588.
When should I replace my furnace vs. repair it?
If your furnace is past 15-20 years old and the repair cost exceeds 50% of a new system, replacement usually makes more sense. Modern furnaces hit 95-98% AFUE, a big drop in your gas bill compared to an older unit.
What heating maintenance do I need annually?
Schedule a tune-up in fall before heating season. We inspect burners, heat exchanger, gas connections, safety controls, thermostat calibration, ductwork, and filters. A $150 tune-up in October prevents a $600 emergency in January.
Are there rebates for new heating systems in Oregon?
Yes, Energy Trust of Oregon offers up to $3,000 for qualifying heat pumps. NW Natural offers $400-$800 for high-efficiency gas furnaces. Stack them and save $3,000-$5,000+.
Reviews from Portland homeowners
A few recent Google reviews from homeowners across the metro. We don't edit them.
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
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.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
