Heat Pump Installation in Portland
A heat pump uses electricity to transfer heat, making it a more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly option compared to traditional gas furnaces. In the colder months, it pulls heat from the outside air—even when it's chilly—and distributes it throughout your home. In warmer months, the process reverses, removing heat from inside your home to keep it cool. Because heat pumps move heat rather than generate it through combustion, they require less energy to operate—helping you lower your utility bills while reducing your carbon footprint.
If you are looking for an energy-efficient HVAC system, a heat pump installation may be the best option for your property. At First Call Heating & Cooling, we bring a specialist skillset to meet your needs and can answer any questions you may have.

The Benefits of Heat Pump Installation
- Higher efficiency: The temperature controls of a new heat pump will allow it to work more efficiently and save you energy costs.
- Quieter operation: A new heat pump has parts that are new and in the best working condition, meaning you won’t hear any unnecessary noises.
- Improved safety: A newly replaced heat pump will be more reliable in colder months, bringing you security in your ability to heat your home.
Heat Pump Maintenance
You should regularly maintain your heat pump to ensure that your home is always comfortable.
Maintenance commonly includes the following:
- Change the filter: A heat pump’s filter needs to be changed every 30 days, so it runs at its best.
- Clear debris: Since your heat pump is exposed to the elements, make sure that it and the area around it are clear of debris or anything that could get in the way of the fan.
- Flush condensate lines: Flush your condensate lines in order to clear any debris and make sure your unit can properly drain condensation from the pump.
- Check the fans: Over time, fans can wear down or become dirty. Check them occasionally to keep them running at optimal performance.
Four Signs You Need Heat Pump Replacement
Your heat pump may need to be replaced if the following are true:
- Older than 10 years: Heat pumps typically last between 10 and 15 years. If yours is in this range, you should look for a replacement.
- Safety issues: As heat pumps age, they show wear and tear. If you notice your pump leaking, replace it immediately. Leaking pumps can leak carbon monoxide into your home.
- Higher energy bills: A spike in the cost of energy bills can indicate that your heat pump efficiency isn’t as high as it should be. A new heat pump works better and can lower energy costs.
- Unusual noises: Strange noises coming from your heat pump should be inspected, as this could be a sign that it is running down and needs to be replaced.
