When the heat goes out in the middle of a cold stretch, or the house stays stuffy through a warm Oregon summer with no way to cool it down, that is the call we get most often from homes in Sherwood. A town this size runs mostly on residential equipment: furnaces and heat pumps that have been in place for years, homes that were built before central air was standard here, and additions or finished spaces the original ductwork never quite reached. We handle all of it, from a furnace that won't light to a first-time cooling install in a home that has never had one.
We cover the full range of heating and cooling work, repair, maintenance, and installation, for homeowners and for property managers looking after multiple units. You will always know who to call if you need us again.
Call (971) 459-8956 to get a price and schedule your visit. We are open every day from 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM.
Uneven temperatures across a home are one of the most common complaints we hear, and the cause is rarely the thermostat. More often it points to duct leaks, a blower that is not moving enough air, or supply and return registers that were never balanced correctly for the layout of the house. A room at the far end of a long duct run, or a space added after the original system was installed, is especially prone to it.
The diagnostic visit covers airflow at each register, the condition of the duct runs, and how the air handler is performing across the whole system. Once the cause is identified, the fix might be as simple as sealing a leaking duct section or as involved as rerouting a run that was never sized for the space it serves.
A blower that is running slower than it should, or cycling on and off without completing a full run, affects every room in the house, not just the ones at the end of the line. Air handler service covers the motor, the wheel, and the electrical controls that tell it when to run and at what speed. A tune-up that includes the blower is worth scheduling before the heating or cooling season, when a small problem is easier to catch than after the system has been running hard for weeks.
Ductless mini-split systems solve a specific problem: a space that needs heating or cooling but has no practical way to connect to the central system. A finished garage, a converted attic, a sunroom addition, a home office built out from the main structure. Running new ductwork to any of those is often more disruptive and more expensive than the alternative, and the result is rarely as efficient.
A mini-split installation involves an outdoor condenser unit and one or more wall-mounted indoor air handlers, connected by refrigerant lines that run through a small penetration in the wall. Each indoor unit operates independently, which means you are only conditioning the space that is occupied rather than running the whole system.
A large share of homes in this part of Oregon were built without central air conditioning, and for years that made sense. Recent summers have changed that calculation. For homes that do have existing ductwork, adding a central AC system is a straightforward installation that works through the existing air handler. For homes without ducts, a ductless system is often the faster and less invasive path. We assess the home, recommend the right approach for what is already there, and handle the installation from start to finish.
When you call, the first thing we do is scope the job. That means asking what the system is doing, or not doing, what kind of equipment is involved, and whether the issue has come up before. From that conversation, we can tell you what the visit will cover and what it costs before anything is booked.
What moves a quote is the nature of the fault, what has to be accessed to reach it, and whether the repair makes sense against the age and condition of the equipment. A refrigerant leak in an accessible location is a different job from one that requires pulling components to get to the source. A system that is close to the end of its useful life may be better served by a replacement conversation than a repair quote. We lay out both options when both are relevant, so you are making the decision with the full picture in front of you.
The price for the visit is confirmed on the call. If the diagnosis on-site turns up something different from what the call described, we explain what changed and what it means for the cost before any additional work is authorized. Nothing proceeds without your agreement.
Booking a visit is a single phone call. We ask about the equipment, the symptom, and the address, and we confirm what is available on the schedule. If the system is completely down, whether that is no heat in winter or no cooling during a heat event, we treat that as an urgent call and work to get the visit scheduled as quickly as the calendar allows.
For rental properties and buildings where a tenant is in place, we work around access and occupancy. The scope and the price are settled before the visit, and the system is tested before the technician leaves, so you know the equipment is running correctly and not just that the visit happened.
We are available every day from 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM. What a job like this usually involves is described on the heating and cooling services page.
Call (971) 459-8956 and we will confirm what is available for your address.
Standing water near the air handler or furnace usually points to a blocked or disconnected condensate drain. The drain carries moisture pulled from the air during cooling, and when it backs up, that water has nowhere to go. Left unaddressed, it can damage the air handler and the surfaces around it. A service visit clears the drain, checks the drain pan, and identifies whether the blockage is a one-time event or a sign of a recurring problem.
A system that is low on refrigerant does not just cool less effectively. It puts stress on the compressor, which is the most expensive component in the system to replace. A leak diagnosis involves pressure testing the refrigerant circuit to locate where the charge is escaping. Once the leak is repaired and the system is recharged, we test operation to confirm it is performing correctly. Topping up the charge without finding the source of the leak is not a repair.
Poor airflow at one or more registers can come from a clogged filter, a failing blower motor, a collapsed duct section, or a damper that has closed and stuck. The visit identifies which of those is causing the problem and what the fix involves. A filter that has not been changed in a long time is the most common cause and the easiest to address. A failing blower motor requires more involved work but is still a repair rather than a replacement in most cases.
A system that runs continuously without bringing the temperature down is usually dealing with a refrigerant issue, a dirty condenser coil, or an airflow problem that is preventing heat exchange. In some cases it points to a system that is undersized for the space it is trying to cool, particularly in homes where a room addition was made after the original equipment was installed. The diagnostic visit identifies the cause and explains what addressing it involves.
For homes in Sherwood that have an existing furnace and ductwork but no cooling system, adding central air means installing an outdoor condensing unit and connecting it to the existing air handler. We assess the duct system to confirm it can handle cooling loads, size the equipment to the home, and handle the installation. The electrical work on the circuit and disconnect is coordinated with whoever is handling that side, and we speak only to the equipment and its connections.
A thermostat that is reading inaccurately, failing to hold a schedule, or not communicating correctly with the system can make even a well-functioning unit behave erratically. Replacing it with a programmable or smart thermostat is a straightforward install in most homes. For properties with multiple zones, we configure the controls to match the layout and confirm each zone is responding correctly before the visit ends.
We serve Sherwood and the communities around it throughout Washington County. That includes King City, Tualatin, Bull Mountain, Durham, and Wilsonville. If you are in any of those areas, call and we will confirm coverage at your address.
Residential and commercial properties are both covered. Whether you are a homeowner dealing with a system that has stopped working or a property manager keeping a rental unit in good shape, the process is the same: scope the job on the call, confirm the price, schedule the visit.
We take care when moving equipment through a home. If you have concerns about specific flooring or a tight access path, mention it on the call and we can discuss what precautions are appropriate for the job.
The main thing we assess before an installation is what is already in place: whether there is existing ductwork the new system can use, where the outdoor unit can be positioned, and what the air handler situation looks like. None of that requires preparation on your end before the call. Describe the home on the phone and we will walk through what the visit will cover and what to expect from the installation process.
It depends on the layout of the existing duct system and whether it has the capacity to serve the additional space. In some cases, extending the existing runs is straightforward. In others, the main trunk is already at capacity and a separate system or a ductless unit for the addition makes more sense. Call and describe the addition and we can advise on what the assessment covers.
Age is one factor but not the only one. A system that is old but still performing efficiently and not requiring frequent repairs may have useful life remaining. A newer system that has a failed major component can sometimes be more economical to repair. We look at the condition, the repair cost relative to replacement, and the efficiency of the current equipment before making a recommendation.
We work around occupied properties. When you call, let us know the access situation and any constraints on when the tenant can be present. We scope the job and confirm the price on the call, and the technician tests the system before leaving so you have confirmation the equipment is running correctly. The process is the same whether the property is occupied or vacant.
Yes. After an installation we provide the documentation that comes with the equipment, including any registration paperwork the manufacturer requires. If you need a record for a property file or a landlord's records, ask on the call and we will confirm what is included.
Yes. A noise that is new is usually a sign that something has changed inside the system. A rattle, a squeal, or a hum that was not there before points to a component that is wearing or loose. Catching it early is almost always less expensive than waiting for the component to fail completely.
Call (971) 459-8956 and describe what the system is doing.
We will ask about the equipment, the symptom, and what you have already tried. By the end of the call, you will have a price for the visit and a scheduled time. We are open every day from 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM.
Describe the fault. Hear what it involves. Decide from there.

We cover heating and cooling for homes, rental properties, and commercial buildings throughout Sherwood and the surrounding Washington County area. Whether you need a quick repair, a full system replacement, or a first-time cooling install before summer, we scope the job on the call and give you a price before anything is scheduled. The table below lays out what each service covers and who it fits best. Call us to talk through your situation and get the work on the calendar.
| Service Type | What's Included | Common Needs | What to Keep in Mind |
|---|---|---|---|
| Indoor Air Quality & Air Filtration |
| Sherwood households dealing with wildfire smoke, seasonal allergens, or winter dampness | Standard 1-inch filters do not capture the fine particulates wildfire smoke carries. We check whether your air handler can support a denser filter before recommending an upgrade. |
| HVAC System Installation & ReplacementMost Popular |
| Homeowners, landlords, and property managers whose system has reached the end of its service life | Oversized equipment short-cycles and wears out faster. Undersized equipment runs constantly. We match the unit to the space before the install date is set. |
| Ductless Mini-Split Installation |
| Older Sherwood homes built without central air that need cooling without major duct work | No duct demolition or major construction required. A ductless system can serve one room or multiple zones depending on the number of indoor heads installed. |
