FAQs
When should I consider a full-scale replacement of my heating and air conditioning system in Hillsboro?
Most systems last 12–15 years, but Hillsboro’s damp, cool winters and warm, dry summers can shorten that life if the equipment is undersized or poorly maintained. You should think about replacement if your utility bills keep rising, repairs are becoming more frequent or costly, you still use R-22 refrigerant, or rooms are heating or cooling unevenly. A new high-efficiency system can lower energy use by 20–40 percent, so the long-term savings often outweigh another large repair on older equipment.
How much does a complete HVAC replacement typically cost in the Hillsboro area?
Pricing depends on home size, efficiency ratings (SEER2 for cooling, AFUE for heating), ductwork condition, and any electrical or code upgrades required by the City of Hillsboro. In general, a full system—furnace, air conditioner or heat pump, compatible thermostat, and basic installation—runs from $9,000 to $16,000 after local utility rebates. High-end variable-speed heat pump systems that both heat and cool can reach $20,000. We provide itemized, no-obligation estimates so you know exactly where every dollar goes.
How long will the replacement and installation process take?
For most single-family homes, removal of the old equipment and installation of the new system is completed in one day. If your project includes duct modifications, zoning, or electrical panel upgrades, add 1–2 extra days. Our team schedules permitting and City of Hillsboro inspections in advance to minimize downtime—you’ll rarely be without heating or cooling for more than a few hours.
Do I need permits for a new HVAC system in Hillsboro?
Yes. Washington County and the City of Hillsboro require mechanical permits for any equipment replacement that ties into existing gas lines, electrical wiring, or ductwork. As a licensed contractor, we pull all necessary permits, coordinate inspections, and provide homeowners with final documentation for insurance and resale purposes. Skipping permits can void warranties and lead to fines, so always verify your installer handles this step.
What energy-efficiency incentives are available for Hillsboro residents?
Portland General Electric and NW Natural frequently offer rebates on high-efficiency furnaces, air conditioners, and heat pumps. Oregon’s Energy Trust adds incentives for qualifying SEER2/AFUE ratings, and federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act (up to 30 percent or $2,000 on heat pumps) can further reduce costs. We’ll calculate every eligible incentive and file the paperwork so you receive the maximum savings.
Do you offer financing or extended warranties on full HVAC replacements?
Absolutely. We partner with local credit unions and national lenders to offer 0 % APR plans for 12–18 months or low-interest terms up to 120 months. Every new system includes a 10-year manufacturer parts warranty, and we add a labor warranty up to 10 years when you enroll in our annual maintenance program. This ensures your investment stays protected long after installation.
