HVAC Repair Services We Provide

We repair the full range of residential and commercial HVAC equipment. Whether your furnace won’t ignite, your AC is blowing warm air, or your heat pump has stopped cycling properly, our technicians diagnose and fix the problem during the same visit whenever possible.

Our repair services include:

Air Conditioner Repair: Refrigerant leaks, compressor issues, thermostat malfunctions, and more
Furnace Repair: Ignition failures, heat exchanger problems, blower motor issues
Heat Pump Repair: Reversing valve failures, refrigerant issues, defrost cycle problems
Ductless Mini-Split Repair: Sensor errors, drainage issues, loss of heating or cooling capacity
Duct Sealing: Including Aeroseal technology, which seals leaks from the inside out as it moves through the entire duct system

Leaky ductwork is one of the most overlooked causes of poor indoor air quality and high energy bills. Aeroseal duct sealing reaches holes and gaps that traditional patching can’t, making it a meaningful option for systems that aren’t delivering consistent airflow.

Signs Your HVAC System Needs Repair

Some breakdowns are obvious. Others show up as small changes you might dismiss at first. Catching them early usually means a simpler, less expensive fix.

Watch for these warning signs:

Wrong air temperature: Warm air when you expect cooling, or cold air when heat is on, often points to a failing system component
Unusual noises: Grinding, banging, or squealing typically signal mechanical wear inside the equipment
Weak or uneven airflow: Inconsistent pressure between rooms can indicate a ductwork or blower motor problem
Short cycling: Frequent on/off cycling without reaching temperature may point to thermostat, airflow, or compressor issues
Rising energy bills: A sudden increase without a change in usage habits often means declining system efficiency

Repair or Replace: How to Decide

Not every repair is worth making. Systems nearing the end of their expected service life tend to break down more frequently, and at some point, the math shifts in favor of replacement. A useful rule of thumb: If the repair costs more than half the price of a new unit on an older system, replacement is often the better investment.

Our technicians can give you a straight answer on which direction makes sense for your situation. We’re not here to sell you a new system when a repair will do the job.

How Annual Maintenance Reduces Repair Costs

Most HVAC breakdowns don’t happen without warning. We recommend at least annual maintenance for furnaces and heat pumps because the small issues a tune-up catches, such as worn components, dirty coils, or low refrigerant, are far less expensive to fix proactively than after a failure. Without regular maintenance, a heating system can quietly develop problems that lead to costly repairs and unexpected downtime in the middle of a Portland winter.
