Residential HVAC Services for Your Home

Furnace quit on a cold morning? Heat pump stuck in defrost? Conrad carries the parts that fix the most common failures on the first visit — igniters, flame sensors, reversing valves — and sizes every new system with a load calculation, not a guess. Same-day service, 24/7 emergency dispatch.

Portland summers now regularly push above 95°F for days at a stretch — a window unit isn’t a plan anymore. Conrad installs, repairs, and tunes up central AC, heat pumps, and ductless mini-splits. Spring maintenance before the first heat advisory is the difference between a working system and a wait-list call in July.

A well-sealed Portland home stays warm in winter and traps everything else year-round — dust, pet dander, mold spores, VOCs. Conrad installs air scrubbers, UV lights, whole-home purifiers, and upgraded MERV filters that fit your existing system without a full equipment swap.

Your Local HVAC Company — Not a National Chain

Conrad has been based on NW Arizona Dr in Beaverton since 2019. That matters for two reasons: response time and accountability. When something goes wrong after a job, the same people who did the work are still here.

Pacific Northwest homes run their heating systems from October through April — ~160 wet days a year, condensate drains working constantly, heat exchangers seeing thermal stress every single day of winter. Then July arrives and the Willamette Valley hits 98°F for a week. Equipment that gets skipped on annual service doesn’t survive that range quietly.

Heating for Beaverton Homes

Gas furnaces run at 80–98% AFUE depending on the unit — that gap is $180–$200 per year on a typical Beaverton gas bill. Heat pumps move heat rather than generate it, hitting COP 2.5–4.0 on the mild-cold nights that make up most of a Pacific Northwest winter. Ductless mini-splits deliver the same efficiency without requiring existing ductwork — useful for additions, older homes, and anything built before ducts were standard.

Annual fall tune-ups are where Conrad earns the most trust: heat exchanger inspection for cracks, CO emission test at the register, igniter and flame sensor check. That’s what prevents a January breakdown — and more importantly, what catches the safety issues before they become emergencies.

Cooling and Air Quality Under One Roof

AC That’s Sized Right

Most cooling failures trace back to installation decisions made years earlier — oversized systems that short-cycle, undersized ones that never reach setpoint, or R-22 equipment that’s now expensive to keep running. Conrad’s AC services start with a Manual J calculation before any equipment recommendation. A spring maintenance visit handles refrigerant charge, coil cleaning, and capacitor testing — the three things most likely to fail during a heat advisory.

Water Heaters and Indoor Air

Hybrid heat pump water heaters run 3–4x more efficiently than standard electric tanks and currently qualify for Energy Trust of Oregon rebates. Oregon code requires an expansion tank on most new installs — Conrad includes that in every job, not as a surprise line item. For air quality, whole-home filtration and purification options range from upgraded MERV filters to air scrubbers — worth the conversation for households with allergy or asthma concerns.

Why Homeowners Choose Conrad HVAC

Beaverton-Based, Locally Owned

Conrad’s shop is on NW Arizona Dr — not a regional office of a national brand. The technician who comes to your house works here, not from a staffing pool. Response times are faster, and if something’s wrong after the job, the same people are still here to fix it.

Licensed and Certified Technicians

Oregon CCB license and EPA 608 certification — both verified before anyone goes on a job. Residential HVAC work in Oregon requires both; Conrad’s technicians carry them. Work is permitted and inspected where code requires, not left to the homeowner to sort out later.

Transparent Pricing, No Surprises

Diagnostic first, written quote second, work third — in that order, every time. No number changes between the estimate and the invoice without a call first. For installs, the quote covers equipment, labor, permits, and old-unit disposal. Nothing gets added at the end.

24/7 Emergency Residential Service

The emergency line is live around the clock — not forwarded to voicemail after 5 PM. Calls go to a real dispatcher. A furnace that fails at 2 AM in January gets the same response as a Monday morning call. Most emergency calls in the Portland metro are on-site within 2 hours.

What residential HVAC services does Conrad provide?

Heating and cooling installation, repair, and maintenance — furnaces, heat pumps, ductless mini-splits, central AC, water heaters, and indoor air quality systems. All work by CCB-licensed, in-house technicians throughout Beaverton and the Portland metro. Emergency service 24/7.

How often should I service my home HVAC system?

Heating: annually in fall. Cooling: annually in spring. A heat pump running year-round needs both. Annual service keeps manufacturer warranties valid, costs less than one emergency repair call, and catches the heat exchanger cracks and failing capacitors that cause the expensive breakdowns.

What is the best heating system for a home in Beaverton?

Depends on your existing ductwork, current fuel, and budget. Heat pumps are the most efficient option for Pacific Northwest winters — COP 2.5–4.0 on the mild-cold nights that are most of the season, cooling in summer included. Gas furnaces (96% AFUE) make sense for homes that need high heat output during cold snaps or already have a gas line. Conrad walks through both with real numbers.

Do you offer financing for residential HVAC installation?

Yes, on qualifying installations. Energy Trust of Oregon rebates also apply to many high-efficiency systems — heat pumps, high-AFUE furnaces, ductless mini-splits. Conrad handles the paperwork as part of the installation job.

How do I know if I need HVAC repair or replacement?

Under 10 years old with one clear fault — repair. Over 12–15 years, second repair in 12 months, or repair cost over half the equipment value — replacement usually wins. Conrad gives you both numbers. No pressure in either direction.

Do you offer emergency HVAC service for homeowners?

Yes — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, holidays included. Live dispatcher, not voicemail. Most Portland metro emergency calls are on-site within 2 hours. Call 503-785-9715.
