Heat Pump Installation in Portland
Expert Heat Pump Replacement Services in the Clackamas Areas
Staying warm in the middle of a Portland winter or cool during the worst of summer can be tricky. With wildly fluctuating temperatures being a fairly normal part of our annual weather, the last thing you want to deal with is life without a quality heating and cooling system. While a furnace can keep you warm, or an air conditioner can keep you cool, they aren’t always the most efficient (or eco-friendly). This is why many homeowners in the Portland area choose to install a heat pump in their home.
Why Heat Pumps Are an Ideal Choice for Portland
Heat pumps are a great choice for any homeowner looking for an energy-efficient and eco-friendly way of keeping their home cool. During winter, a heat pump can harvest heat from the outdoor atmosphere, using it to keep your home comfortable. In summer, they can harvest thermal energy in your indoor air, leaving you feeling cooler and more comfortable. Plus, you’ll be doing your part to reduce your dependence on natural gas and other fossil fuels, keeping our city one of the greenest and most eco-friendly in the country!

Can a heat pump be installed in an existing home?
A heat pump can be installed in an existing home, making it an excellent option for homeowners looking to upgrade their heating and cooling system. The installation process is typically straightforward, but it requires careful planning to ensure that the heat pump is compatible with the existing infrastructure. Key factors such as the size of the home, insulation quality, and current ductwork must be considered. In many cases, modifications to the ductwork may be necessary to accommodate the new system. Additionally, the outdoor unit of the heat pump needs to be placed in an area with proper ventilation to ensure optimal performance.
Here are the main steps involved in installing a heat pump in an existing home:
- Assessing the home’s heating and cooling needs
- Evaluating and potentially upgrading existing ductwork
- Selecting the appropriate heat pump size and model
- Installing the outdoor unit in a suitable location
- Connecting the indoor and outdoor units
- Testing the system for efficiency and performance
With the right planning and professional installation, a heat pump can provide efficient and cost-effective climate control for an existing home.
Benefits of a New Heat Pump
Heat pumps offer a number of outstanding benefits for homeowners. In addition to their ability to keep you warm without carbon emissions and their reduced energy consumption, they are also a great choice for a wide variety of properties. They can be made significantly smaller than a gas-burning furnace, which means they can often be the perfect solution for those who live in smaller homes. They also don’t require a gas line which makes them perfect for homes that may not have a gas connection or a line installed to their HVAC system.
Here are a few reasons why a heat pump may be the perfect choice for you:
- They help you save money
- They can provide heating and cooling capabilities
- They reduce energy consumption
- They do not struggle with many of the same problems as furnaces or air conditioners
At A-TEMP Heating, Cooling & Electrical, our Portland heat pump installation team have the choices, the knowledge, and the expertise to help you select an ideal heat pump solution that will comfortably condition your home’s air.
How Long Do Heat Pumps Last?
Typically, a heat pump can last up to 15 years. However, where you live, the type of heat pump you have, and how well the system has been maintained will impact this. If you are uncertain of the age of your heat pump or if you suspect you may need to have yours replaced, the following signs can tell you whether you should consider a new unit.
You May Need to Replace Your Heat Pump If:
- Your system requires regular repairs
- The home has hot spots or cold spots where temperatures vary wildly
- Your energy bills have significantly increased
- Your home doesn’t feel comfortable, even though your system is running

A-TEMP Heating, Cooling & Electrical came recommended from a friend who is a current inspector. I've used them for years for furnace and AC maintenance. Their customer service is excellent—helpful, friendly, and persistent in scheduling my maintenance. I appreciate that they've never pushed to replace my old furnace but instead helped me decide when to repair or replace without being pushy about sales. Finding trustworthy repair folks is hard, and I highly recommend them. You won't be disappointed.- Sara T.
