Our Heat Pump Installation Services
Conrad installs ducted, ductless, and air source heat pump systems for Portland Metro homeowners — sized correctly, installed to manufacturer spec, and commissioned in both heating and cooling mode before the job closes.
Ducted Heat Pump
Paired with your existing air handler or a new one — whole-home heating and cooling through existing ductwork. The right replacement when you’re retiring a gas furnace and central AC combo. SEER2 and HSPF2 rated for both cooling and heating efficiency.
Ductless Heat Pump
No ductwork required. Single or multi-zone systems with wall, ceiling cassette, or floor-mount indoor heads. COP of 2.5–4.0 — efficient enough to replace electric baseboard in most Oregon homes. See full ductless mini split installation details.
Air Source Heat Pump
The standard residential configuration — extracts heat from outdoor air using a refrigerant cycle. Cold-climate models operate efficiently down to -15°F, well past anything Beaverton typically sees. Most common starting point for homeowners replacing an aging AC and furnace system.
Why Heat Pump Installation Quality Matters in Beaverton
The U.S. Department of Energy estimates 90% of HVAC systems are installed incorrectly — wrong size, haphazard wiring, or both. That means most new systems underperform from day one. Conrad’s installations start with a Manual J load calculation, not a square footage guess. Every technician is CCB licensed, EPA608 certified, bonded, and insured.

Why Oregon Is One of the Best Heat Pump Markets in the Country
Heat pumps deliver their highest efficiency in mild temperatures — and Portland Metro’s climate sits exactly in that range. Winters rarely drop below 20°F. Summers stay cool compared to inland markets. Cold-climate models handle the occasional hard freeze down to -15°F without missing a beat. The result: a heat pump in Beaverton runs near peak COP year-round.
One thing worth knowing upfront: heat pumps run a defrost cycle in cold, damp weather — the outdoor coil briefly reverses to clear ice. Conrad explains this at every commissioning. A unit running defrost in February is working correctly. Energy Trust of Oregon offers heat pump rebates; the federal IRA adds tax credits on qualifying systems.
Ducted or Ductless: Choosing the Right Heat Pump for Your Home
If your home has ductwork in good condition, a ducted heat pump pairs a new outdoor unit with your existing air handler — same distribution system, new equipment. Conrad inspects duct static pressure and leakage before any equipment is selected; undersized or leaking ducts limit performance regardless of what goes outside.No ductwork — or ducts that are deteriorated or inaccessible — ductless is typically the better fit. Single-zone for one room or addition; multi-zone for whole-home coverage without a duct retrofit. See full ductless mini split installation details.
How Conrad Sizes and Selects Heat Pump Equipment
Every heat pump installation starts with a Manual J load calculation — ceiling height, window area, insulation R-value, wall orientation. Not square footage. For ducted systems, Conrad also runs a duct static pressure test: undersized or leaking ductwork limits system performance regardless of equipment quality. Equipment selection follows from those results — matched outdoor unit and air handler, SEER2 and HSPF2 ratings appropriate for the Oregon climate, refrigerant type (R-410A or R-32 depending on the unit), and cold-climate rating if needed.
Heat Pump Installation Day — What to Expect
Existing equipment removed; outdoor unit set on concrete pad or wall bracket with proper clearance, drainage slope, and vibration isolation. Refrigerant lines connected and pressure-tested. Dedicated 240V electrical circuit hooked up. Air handler or coil installed and connected. Thermostat wired — two-stage or variable-speed depending on the system. Commissioning in both heating and cooling mode, defrost cycle verified, written diagnostic report. Conrad is an authorized Bosch dealer and works with Lennox, Carrier, Trane, Daikin, and Goodman. Heat pump repair is handled by the same team.
Heat Pump Installation Cost in Beaverton, OR
Heat pump installation cost in Oregon varies by system type. General installed ranges:
- Ducted air source heat pump: $4,500–$10,000+ — outdoor unit, air handler, installation, and electrical; ductwork repairs add cost if needed
- Ductless single-zone: $3,000–$5,500 installed
- Ductless multi-zone: $5,500–$12,000+ depending on zone count, SEER2/HSPF2 tier, and lineset complexity
Incentives reduce the number: the Energy Trust of Oregon offers rebates on qualifying heat pump installations, and the federal IRA provides a 30% tax credit on eligible heat pump equipment. A note on DIY: handling refrigerant requires EPA608 certification; electrical work and permitting require a licensed contractor in Oregon. Most manufacturers void warranties on systems installed without licensed contractors. Conrad provides upfront flat-rate pricing and free estimates.

Why Choose Conrad for Heat Pump Installation?
Expert Technicians
Conrad’s technicians are CCB licensed and EPA608 certified — required by federal law for refrigerant handling. Every installation starts with a Manual J load calculation and, for ducted systems, a duct static pressure test. Technicians are background-checked and trained on all major heat pump brands: Bosch, Lennox, Carrier, Trane, Daikin, and Goodman. Conrad is an authorized Bosch dealer. The same in-house tech handles the assessment and the installation — no subcontractors at any stage.
Prompt Service
Same-day scheduling is available across Portland Metro. Conrad offers 24/7 emergency dispatch for failed systems. Heat pump installations follow a clear timeline: site assessment and Manual J calculation first, equipment selection second, installation day scheduled once equipment is available. No open-ended wait times. For homes that need interim heating or cooling while equipment is ordered, Conrad can often arrange temporary solutions.
Everything In-House
Conrad handles the complete heat pump installation — Manual J load calculation, duct inspection (for ducted systems), equipment selection, outdoor unit placement, refrigerant line installation and charging, electrical hookup, thermostat wiring, permitting, commissioning in both heating and cooling mode, and written diagnostic report. Follow-up repairs and maintenance agreements go through the same licensed team, with no handoffs between departments or external contractors.
Customer-Centric Approach
Upfront flat-rate pricing is confirmed before any work begins. After installation, a written diagnostic report documents equipment specifications, refrigerant charge, and commissioning results in both heating and cooling mode. Conrad walks every homeowner through defrost cycle behavior — a heat pump running defrost in February is working correctly, not failing — so the first cold wet winter doesn’t generate a unnecessary service call.
