Heat Pump Installation & Repair in Portland & Vancouver

Save energy. Stay comfortable. Trust 70+ years of local HVAC expertise.

Say Goodbye to High Energy Bills

Furnaces and air conditioners are two of the biggest energy drains in most homes. If you’re tired of rising utility costs, a heat pump may be the solution. Instead of generating heat, heat pump systems move warm air from inside to outside and vice versa, making them one of the most energy-efficient ways to heat and cool your home.


Jacobs installs and services Carrier® heat pumps that keep your home comfortable year-round, and our repair specialists are ready when your system isn’t running at its best.

When Should You Consider a Heat Pump?

Heat pumps are one of the most efficient alternatives to traditional HVAC systems, providing both heating and cooling in a single unit. If your current furnace or air conditioner isn’t keeping you comfortable, it may be time to consider a heat pump installation or replacement. Jacobs HVAC specialists can help Portland and Vancouver homeowners decide if a heat pump is the right fit, but here are a few signs that upgrading makes sense.

You Want to Slash Energy Use

Modern furnaces and air conditioners are getting more and more efficient but nothing beats an all-in-one system. Heat pumps handle heating, cooling, and humidity control all year round with far less energy.

You Are Not Comfortable Year-Round

Uneven heating or cooling is a common frustration for homeowners. Heat pumps deliver precise temperature control in every room, helping you to feel comfortable in any season.

You Live in a Mild Climate

The mild weather of the Pacific Northwest is perfect for heat pumps. Many homeowners save up to 60% on energy bills and may qualify for tax credits or rebates.

The Benefits of a Heat Pump

Heat pumps sound complex, but they’re refreshingly simple: a compressor and refrigerant that transfer heat where it’s needed, heating in the winter and cooling in summer.

  • Flexible – One system for heating, cooling, and humidity control.
  • Quiet – Consistent operation without noisy cycling.
  • Compact – Small indoor unit plus outdoor condenser saves space.
  • Smart – Optional automation and app control.
  • Clean – No combustion, no odors, just health indoor air.
