Willamette Heating & Air Conditioning

Willamette Heating & Air Conditioning has operated as a family-owned heating contractor in Portland since 1989, serving the metro area with a emphasis on residential replacement and retrofit projects. The company holds a Preferred Contractor designation with NW Natural, reflecting two decades of partnership. With 6 recorded reviews averaging 4.3 stars, the business specializes in converting older homes from oil or electric resistance heating to gas-fired systems, a niche particularly relevant in Portland's vintage housing stock. Ted serves as the primary technician, managing projects from initial estimate through final installation.

The company installs exclusively Goodman equipment, a brand known for high-efficiency furnaces and heat pumps with strong warranty coverage. Their expertise centers on whole-house heating solutions: gas furnaces, central air conditioning, and heat pump systems that handle Portland's extended heating season (6-7 months) more economically than cooling-only solutions. All installations include free written estimates, and the business handles supply and installation of associated duct work for retrofit applications.

Homeowners in recent reviews describe Ted arriving within a week and a half of the initial estimate to replace a 40-year-old furnace in a 75-year-old Portland home, adding central air without disrupting the household. Another reviewer noted Ted's creative solution for an unusually shaped 1985 home with existing baseboard heating, completing duct work, heat pump, and AC installation in two days at a significantly lower bid than competitors. One less favorable review noted system performance concerns that other technicians subsequently identified as code-related.
