Heating and cooling in Oregon
Cool, damp winters and dry summers that have grown hotter. Many homes were built without AC, so heat pumps and ductless systems are a common upgrade.
Oregon's Construction Contractors Board (CCB) licenses contractors, and HVAC technicians may also need state trade licenses. Verify both, and confirm the permit with your city.
Portland homes historically got by without AC, but the June 2021 heat dome reached 116°F and changed that. Heat pumps, both ducted and ductless, are now the most common upgrade, often replacing gas or oil furnaces.
Wildfire smoke in late summer makes good filtration important, and damp winters bring moisture and ventilation concerns in older homes.
East of the Cascades, Bend and the high desert have colder winters and hotter, drier summers, so systems there are sized very differently from those in the Willamette Valley.
