Lake Oswego HVAC has been serving homeowners and businesses in Lake Oswego and the surrounding communities since 2004. Over 22 years, we have handled everything from emergency furnace calls on cold winter nights to full heat pump installations and commercial system replacements. We answer our own phones and drive our own trucks. Whether you need a quick repair or a complete system overhaul, our qualified HVAC technicians are ready to help. We answer the phone. We dispatch the technician. We keep it simple.
From aging systems to brand-new installs, we have spent more than two decades working on heating and cooling systems across Lake Oswego and throughout Clackamas County. Our customers include homeowners dealing with a system that stopped working overnight, property managers keeping commercial buildings comfortable year-round, and business owners who cannot afford downtime when the heat or the AC fails.
We work on residential properties of all sizes and commercial spaces including office buildings, retail storefronts, and restaurants. Our experienced technicians who respect your home show up ready to diagnose the problem, explain what they find, and get the work done right. That approach has kept customers calling us back for more than two decades. Call and we'll handle the furnace, the AC, and the ductwork.
Whether it's a one-time repair or a full system replacement, we cover the full range of residential and commercial HVAC work. Here is what we handle:
That list covers the everyday calls and the bigger projects. Same-day scheduling is available for urgent situations, and we work seven days a week so a system failure does not have to wait until Monday. Reach out and we'll get it diagnosed today.
When the heat or the AC quits, the last thing you want is a long wait or a vague answer about what is wrong. When we arrive for an AC service call, we start with a thorough diagnosis: checking refrigerant levels, inspecting the condenser and compressor, evaluating the evaporator coil, and testing airflow through the system. Common issues like an AC blowing warm air, making unusual noise, leaking water, or simply not turning on all have specific causes, and we track them down before recommending any repair.
We also offer AC tune-ups and seasonal maintenance visits to catch problems before they become breakdowns. A well-maintained system runs more efficiently and lasts longer, which matters whether you are cooling a family home or keeping a commercial space comfortable through a warm Oregon summer. We take pride in the HVAC work we leave behind, and that includes leaving the system cleaner and better calibrated than we found it. We make the repair and leave the home tidy.
Not every HVAC company works the same way, and when a furnace stops working in the middle of a damp Lake Oswego winter, the difference between a fast diagnosis and a slow one is felt immediately. The Willamette Valley does not get extreme cold, but it stays wet and cool for months, and a furnace that is blowing cold air or not turning on at all is a real comfort and safety problem.
We handle furnace repair, furnace tune-ups, and furnace replacement for homes and commercial buildings across the area. Common calls include furnaces that are not heating, making banging or rattling sounds, cycling on and off repeatedly, or failing to ignite. We also service older hydronic and boiler systems found in some of the area's established homes. Emergency and same-day furnace repair is available when you cannot wait for a scheduled appointment. Reach out and we'll start at the unit.
Oregon's mild winters make heat pumps one of the most efficient year-round solutions available to local homeowners and businesses. Lake Oswego's climate sits in a sweet spot for heat pump performance: cool enough in winter to benefit from efficient electric heating, and warm enough in summer to need reliable cooling. A properly installed and maintained heat pump handles both seasons without the fuel costs of a gas furnace or the limitations of a system that only heats or only cools.
We repair, tune up, and replace traditional heat pump systems, and we install and service mini-split and ductless systems for homes and spaces where adding ductwork is not practical. Ductless mini-splits work well for room additions, older homes, and commercial spaces that need independent temperature control by zone. Whether you are replacing an aging heat pump, adding a ductless system to a new addition, or troubleshooting a unit that is not heating or cooling properly, we keep you informed from diagnosis to final test so you always know where the job stands.
Leaking or damaged ductwork quietly undermines your system's performance. If some rooms are harder to heat or cool than others, or if your energy costs seem higher than they should be, the ducts are often part of the problem. We inspect, seal, and repair ductwork to restore proper airflow and even temperatures throughout the home or building.
A thermostat that is not working correctly, or one that simply does not give you the control you need, is a straightforward fix. We install programmable thermostats and smart controls including Nest and Ecobee, and we configure them so the system runs the way you want it to. Zoning controls are also available for larger homes and commercial spaces where different areas need different temperature settings.
The air inside a home or building carries dust, allergens, and in wildfire season, smoke particles that standard filters do not fully capture. We install whole-home air filtration systems, UV air purifiers, air scrubbers, and high-efficiency filters rated MERV-13 and above for households and buildings that need better protection. Whole-home humidifiers are also available for the dry shoulder-season months when indoor air gets uncomfortably dry.
Lake Oswego is our home base, and we serve customers throughout the surrounding communities on both sides of the county line. If you are in West Linn, Tualatin, Wilsonville, Sherwood, Tigard, or Milwaukie, we make regular service runs to your area and can typically reach you the same day for urgent calls. We cover the full stretch of Clackamas County and the Portland metro's south side, so a local technician is never far away. Seven days a week. Competitive rates. Comfort back fast.
The technicians who show up at your door have real hands-on experience with the full range of heating and cooling work we offer. They know how to read a system, explain what they find in plain language, and complete the repair or installation to a standard we are proud to stand behind. All work is performed by qualified HVAC technicians who take the job seriously, from the first diagnosis to the final test.
That matters whether we are servicing a residential heat pump, replacing a commercial rooftop unit, or sealing ductwork in an older home. Consistent, careful work is what has kept customers in the Lake Oswego area calling us back since 2004.
Ready to get the comfort back? Before we recommend any repair or replacement, we diagnose the system and explain exactly what we found. You will know what the problem is, what fixing it involves, and what it will cost before we start. No surprise charges appear on the invoice after the job is done.
That approach applies to residential calls and commercial accounts alike. Call for a quote and we will give you a straight answer. We answer the phone. We dispatch the technician. We keep it simple.
Property managers, office building owners, restaurant operators, and retail businesses all depend on reliable heating and cooling to keep their spaces functional. We handle commercial HVAC repair and diagnosis, full system replacement, scheduled maintenance contracts, and emergency service for commercial properties across the area.
When a commercial system goes down, the impact is immediate. We prioritize fast response, accurate diagnosis, and repairs that hold up over time. Call for an estimate and we will get a technician to your property to assess the system and give you a clear picture of what the work involves.
We have been doing heating and cooling work in the Lake Oswego area since 2004, which puts us at more than two decades of local service. Over that time we have worked on residential properties, rental portfolios, and commercial buildings throughout Clackamas County and the surrounding Portland metro communities.
Yes, we are locally owned and have been since we started in 2004. We answer our own phones and drive our own trucks. When you call, you reach someone who knows this area and can schedule your service directly.
Homes in the Lake Oswego area were often built without central air conditioning, so first-time cooling installations are a common request. Heat pump service is a regular part of our workload given how well heat pumps perform in the Pacific Northwest climate. Wildfire smoke filtration has also become an increasingly common concern as smoke seasons have grown longer and more intense in the Willamette Valley.
We take pride in the HVAC work we leave behind, and if something is not right after a job is complete, we want to know about it. Call (971) 459-8956 and we will come back out to make it right. Our reputation in this community is built one job at a time, and we do not walk away from a problem.
The technicians who come to your home or building have hands-on experience with the full range of heating and cooling work we offer. They explain what they find in plain language, keep the work area clean, and complete each job to a standard we are proud to stand behind. All work is performed by qualified HVAC technicians who take the job seriously from the first diagnosis through the final test.
We answer the phone during our operating hours, which run every day from 5:00 AM to 9:30 PM. For urgent calls, same-day dispatch is available when the schedule allows. We do not let calls sit, and we do not leave customers waiting for a callback that never comes.
We equip our trucks to handle the most common residential and commercial HVAC repairs on the first visit. That means diagnostic tools, common replacement parts, and the equipment needed for the work we do every day. When a less common part is needed, we communicate that clearly and get it sourced as fast as possible.
We dispatch technicians efficiently across our service area so that urgent calls get priority and scheduled appointments run on time. If a delay comes up during the day, we communicate with customers so no one is left waiting without an update. Staying organized and keeping customers informed is part of how we operate.
We are a local business ourselves, and we understand what it means to operate in this community. We source from local suppliers where we can and refer customers to other trusted local trades when a job falls outside our scope. Keeping the work local matters to us.

How do I know whether to repair or replace my HVAC system?
A good rule of thumb is to weigh the repair cost against the age and condition of the equipment. If the system is more than 15 years old and the repair runs to several hundred dollars, replacement often makes more financial sense over the next few years. We give you a straight assessment after diagnosing the system so you can make an informed decision without pressure.
What are the signs that my AC or furnace may need to be replaced soon?
Frequent repairs, rising energy bills with no change in usage, uneven temperatures across the home, and a system that struggles to reach the set temperature are all signals worth paying attention to. Age matters too. Most central AC systems last 12 to 15 years, and furnaces often run 15 to 20 years before efficiency drops sharply. We assess the equipment and tell you honestly where it stands.
Why would my system stop heating or cooling even when it turns on?
A system that runs but does not condition the air can point to a refrigerant issue, a dirty or frozen evaporator coil, a failing compressor, a clogged filter restricting airflow, or a control fault that keeps the blower running without the heating or cooling stage engaging. Diagnosis from the unit is the only reliable way to find the actual cause, and we walk you through what we find before recommending a repair.
Same-Day and Emergency Availability
When the heat goes out in January or the AC fails in the middle of a heat event, we dispatch quickly, seven days a week. Call (971) 459-8956 and we get a technician moving toward you.
What does a seasonal tune-up actually cover?
A thorough tune-up includes inspecting and cleaning the coils, checking refrigerant levels, testing electrical connections and safety controls, lubricating moving parts, checking the heat exchanger or heat pump components, replacing or inspecting the filter, and running the system through a full cycle to confirm it is operating correctly. The goal is to catch small problems before they turn into mid-season failures.
How do I know if my home has a ductwork problem?
Rooms that are consistently warmer or cooler than the rest of the house, higher-than-expected energy bills, and visible dust buildup near vents are common signs. Leaky ducts let conditioned air escape into attics, crawl spaces, or wall cavities before it reaches the living space. We inspect the duct system and seal or repair what we find.
Is someone from our household required to be home during the service call?
An adult needs to be present and able to provide access to the equipment. For most repairs and installations, the technician works on the HVAC equipment directly, so access to the unit, the thermostat, and any mechanical spaces is what matters. If you have a specific scheduling situation, mention it when you call and we will work with you.
Transparent Upfront Pricing
We diagnose the system, explain what we find in plain language, and give you a clear cost before any work begins. No surprises on the final invoice.
What causes a system to short-cycle, turning on and off repeatedly?
Short-cycling is often caused by an oversized system, a refrigerant charge that is off, a dirty filter restricting airflow, an overheating heat exchanger, or a control fault. It puts extra wear on the compressor and blower motor and reduces comfort. We diagnose the root cause rather than just resetting the system.
Why is one room in my home always hotter or colder than the rest?
Uneven temperatures usually point to a ductwork issue, an undersized or oversized system, poor insulation in that part of the home, or a damper that is not operating correctly. In some cases, a ductless mini-split added to that room is the most practical fix. We start with the duct system and the equipment before recommending a solution.
Clean and Respectful Workmanship
Qualified HVAC technicians handle every job, and we treat the home or building with care throughout. We make the repair and leave the space tidy.
What does a heat pump electrification project involve?
We assess your current heating setup, help you choose an appropriately sized air-source heat pump, and handle the full installation from equipment selection through commissioning. For homes without existing ductwork, a ductless heat pump system is often the right path. The result is a single unit that handles both heating and cooling efficiently year-round.
How does wildfire-smoke filtration work, and is it worth it in Lake Oswego?
Standard HVAC filters, typically rated MERV-8 or lower, are not designed to capture the fine particles in wildfire smoke. Upgrading to MERV-13 filtration, adding an air scrubber, or installing a whole-home air purifier significantly reduces smoke particulates indoors during fire season. Given the recurring late-summer smoke events across the Pacific Northwest, this is a practical upgrade for most households in this area.
How long does a full HVAC system replacement typically take?
Most residential system replacements are completed in a single day. A straightforward furnace or AC swap on an existing system with intact ductwork usually runs four to eight hours. More involved projects, such as adding ductwork or installing a first-time cooling system, may take longer. We give you a realistic timeline when we provide the installation estimate.
Every home and system is a little different, so call (971) 459-8956 and we will talk through what your situation actually needs.
