A local installation
Gas furnace and AC replaced with a heat pump in Tigard
- Before the upgrade
- An older gas furnace and separate air conditioner.
- New equipment
- Midea cold-climate heat pump and indoor air handler.
- Work completed
- Removed the old furnace and AC and installed the new indoor and outdoor equipment.
- Ran a 35-foot copper line set and added a 4-inch filter box.
- Evacuated and charged the refrigerant circuit, programmed the thermostat, and checked airflow, temperatures, pressures, and operating modes.
- The result
- Completed the conversion to electric heating and cooling and verified system operation.

Why a heat pump
Four reasons to consider a heat pump for your home.
If your furnace or AC needs replacing, a heat pump is worth comparing. We look at your heating and cooling needs, budget, and existing equipment before recommending a system.
Heats AND cools
One outdoor unit replaces both your furnace and AC. One system to maintain. One set of equipment to warranty.
Built for our climate
We check cold-weather heating capacity against your home’s heat loss and plan backup heat where the system design needs it.
Incentive eligibility checked
We review current Energy Trust and Oregon program rules for your home, equipment, and utility before including an incentive in your estimate.
Efficient heating and cooling
Heat pumps move heat rather than create it through combustion. Operating costs depend on the equipment, your home, thermostat settings, and local energy rates.
Rebates & incentives
Oregon heat pump incentives: check what applies to your home.
Heat pump incentives depend on your utility, existing heating system, selected equipment, household eligibility, and available funding. We check the current program rules during your estimate and list any confirmed incentive separately from the installation price.
Program information checked September 11, 2026. Follow the official links for current availability.
Energy Trust and utility offers
Qualifying heat pumps may receive Energy Trust incentives. Your utility, current heating system, equipment, and household eligibility determine the offer. Utility promotions can have separate contractor and equipment requirements.
See PGE and Energy Trust offer detailsOregon Heat Pump Purchase Program (HP3)
ODOE reports that funding for existing owner-occupied homes is fully reserved. Rental and new-construction funding has separate availability. Approval, equipment rules, and funding must be confirmed before an incentive is included.

ODOE says these programs are not yet offering rebates. We do not subtract a proposed rebate from your estimate before a program opens and your project qualifies.

The federal Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (Section 25C) ended for equipment placed in service after December 31, 2025, so it is not included in estimates for new 2026 installations.

Bring your utility information and details about your current heating system to the estimate. We explain which programs may apply, what paperwork is needed, and whether a qualifying incentive is paid upfront or after installation.
How it works
Our heat pump installation process — four steps from quote to fully installed.
- 01
In-home assessment
Manual J load calculation, ductwork inspection, electrical panel check, and a real conversation about your goals.
- 02
Equipment + rebate plan
We compare equipment that fits your home and budget, then check current incentive eligibility and funding before you choose.
- 03
Install + electrical
New outdoor unit, indoor air handler or coil, refrigerant lines, condensate drain, and any electrical work. All by Oregon-licensed pros.
- 04
Commissioning + paperwork
Refrigerant charge by weight, airflow tuned, applicable incentive paperwork completed, and manufacturer warranty registered. You get the records.
- Energy Trust Trade Ally
- Trane Comfort Specialist
- Manual J load calculation
- Wells Fargo 0% financing
Refrigerant by hand
The most-skipped step on a heat pump install — and why it matters.
Inverter heat pumps are unforgiving about refrigerant charge — even a few ounces off and the system runs noisy, loses efficiency, or fails the compressor early. We triple-evacuate to 500 microns, charge by weight, and verify superheat/subcool on start-up. EPA 608-certified handling, every install.
- Triple-evacuation to 500 microns
- Charge weighed in to manufacturer spec
- Superheat and subcool verified before sign-off
Outdoor unit
The Trane inverter heat pumps we install — commissioned by hand.
Inverter heat pumps run quiet because the compressor modulates instead of slamming on at full speed. The trade-off: they're unforgiving about an off-spec install. We weigh refrigerant in by the gram, tighten flares to torque, and verify superheat/subcool on start-up — not just “is it cold yet.”
- Trane Comfort Specialist: manufacturer-spec install
- Vibration pad + clean line-set routing
- Refrigerant charge weighed in, superheat/subcool verified
Real installs
Air handler placement and line-set runs — the details most installs miss.
The air handler does most of the work indoors — quiet, efficient, and out of the way when we're done. Refrigerant lines pulled tight, condensate trapped to code, and the cabinet leveled so it doesn't buzz at 3am.
- Refrigerant charge by weight, never by feel
- Condensate trap to code, with float switch
- Vibration isolation pad on outdoor unit
- System commissioned + applicable incentive paperwork completed
Real installs
Heat pump installs that hold up past the warranty.
Outdoor unit on a level pad, line-set routed cleanly with proper insulation, service disconnect sized correctly, refrigerant charged by weight to manufacturer spec. Every install gets the details that determine whether a heat pump lasts 12 years or 20.
Heat pump installation questions, answered.
- A properly selected heat pump can provide winter heating. We compare the model’s heating capacity at local design temperatures with your home’s heat loss and include backup heat where the design calls for it.
- Most full installs run $11,000–$22,000 before any incentives, depending on equipment, ductwork, and electrical needs. Your estimate separates the installation price from any confirmed rebate. Financing is available subject to credit approval.
- Heat pump incentives depend on your utility, existing heating system, selected equipment, household eligibility, and available funding. We check the current program rules during your estimate and list any confirmed incentive separately from the installation price. The federal Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (Section 25C) ended for equipment placed in service after December 31, 2025, so it is not included in estimates for new 2026 installations.
- It depends on your home, the heat pump model, electrical capacity, and utility costs. We compare an all-electric system with retaining a compatible furnace as backup, then explain the installation and operating trade-offs.
- Most heat pump installs are a 1–2 day job. Conversions (removing old furnace + AC, adding new air handler) can stretch to 2–3 days. We protect floors, leave the mechanical room cleaner than we found it, and you have heat & cooling that night.
- 15–20 years with annual maintenance. The Pacific Northwest climate is easier on equipment than hotter or colder regions, so well-maintained systems often run past the warranty.
