How do I know if my heat pump needs repair?

Common signs include rising energy bills, uneven temperatures, unusual noises, constant running, or poor heating and cooling performance.

How long do heat pumps last in Oregon?

Most heat pumps last 12–15 years in the Pacific Northwest, but regular maintenance can extend their lifespan significantly.

Should I repair or replace my heat pump?

Repair is usually best for minor issues. Replacement is recommended if the system is over 12 years old, uses outdated refrigerant, or requires ongoing repairs.

Do heat pumps work well in Oregon winters?

Yes. Modern heat pumps, especially Ruud and Daikin cold-climate models, are designed to operate efficiently in Oregon’s cold, wet winters.

What does a heat pump tune-up include?

A tune-up includes coil cleaning, refrigerant level checks, airflow testing, electrical inspections, thermostat calibration, and full performance testing.
