24/7 Emergency (503) 555-0199
Plate 01 · Services

Eight services. One crew, one number.

No subcontractors and no handoffs. The person who diagnoses your system is on the same payroll as the person who fixes it, which is why nobody here ever blames the last guy.

01

Furnace repair

No heat? Start here.

Gas and electric furnaces diagnosed the same day, with the common failure parts already on the truck.

Diagnostic $89 — waived if we do the repair

When you need it

Cold air from the vents, a furnace that lights and drops out after a minute, a burning smell on first startup, or a blower that runs and never stops.

What's included

  • Full combustion and safety check before anything else
  • Flame sensor, igniter, capacitor and limit switch tested on the spot
  • Heat exchanger inspected with a camera and a CO reading taken
  • Flat repair price quoted and approved before the work starts
  • Common parts stocked on every truck — most repairs finish in one visit
  • One-year parts and labor warranty on everything we replace
02

Furnace & system installation

Sized for your house, not a chart.

A measured load calculation, three honest options, and an install crew that treats your floors like their own.

From $4,900 installed

When you need it

Your unit is past fifteen years, repairs are stacking up, rooms never balance, or your gas bill climbs every winter with no explanation.

What's included

  • Manual J load calculation — we measure the house, we don't guess by square footage
  • Three quotes: good, better, best, with the running-cost math for each
  • Old equipment hauled away and recycled at no charge
  • New thermostat, filter rack and condensate handling included
  • Permit pulled and the county inspection scheduled by us
  • Ten-year workmanship warranty on top of the manufacturer's parts coverage
03

Air conditioning

Ready before the first 95° week.

Repair, replacement and tune-ups for central AC — including the refrigerant leak search everyone else skips.

Tune-up $149 · repairs from $189

When you need it

The unit runs but the house never cools, the outdoor fan hums without spinning, ice forms on the line set, or the breaker trips on hot afternoons.

What's included

  • Refrigerant charge weighed in, not eyeballed by gauge pressure
  • Electronic leak detection before any top-off — we fix the leak, not the symptom
  • Coil cleaning, inside and out, with the fins combed straight
  • Capacitor and contactor tested under load and replaced if they're drifting
  • Drain line cleared and treated so it doesn't back up in August
  • Airflow measured at the register, so we can prove it got better
04

Heat pumps

The right call for this valley.

Cold-climate heat pumps that heat and cool from one system — and usually cut a Salem winter bill by a third.

From $7,400 installed · rebates applied

When you need it

You want one system for both seasons, you're on electric resistance heat, or you'd like to stop replacing a furnace and an AC on two different schedules.

What's included

  • Cold-climate models rated to hold capacity down to 5°F
  • Energy Trust of Oregon rebate paperwork filed by our office, not you
  • Backup heat strategy sized so the system never leans on it needlessly
  • Quiet-mount pad and vibration isolators — your neighbors won't hear it
  • Smart thermostat with a proper heat-pump control scheme
  • Post-install performance test and a printed report of the numbers
05

Ductless mini-splits

For the room that never gets comfortable.

Single-zone or multi-zone systems for additions, garages, upstairs bedrooms and old houses with no ducts to work with.

From $4,200 for a single zone

When you need it

A converted garage, a bonus room over the garage, an addition the ducts never reached, or a 1920s house where running ductwork means tearing up plaster.

What's included

  • Zone-by-zone sizing so no head is oversized and short-cycling
  • Line sets run inside a painted lineset cover, routed with the siding lines
  • Wall, ceiling-cassette and low-wall console heads — we'll show you all three
  • Condensate pumped where gravity won't do it
  • Every head on its own remote plus one app for the whole house
  • Ten-year workmanship warranty, same as our ducted installs
06

Indoor air quality

Grass seed season is real here.

Media filtration, whole-home dehumidification and duct sealing — the fixes that matter in the Willamette Valley.

From $390 installed

When you need it

Allergy season flattens the house, dust settles a day after you clean, windows sweat all winter, or somebody in the house has asthma.

What's included

  • Four-inch media cabinets that last a year instead of a month
  • Whole-home dehumidification for the wet half of the year
  • Duct leakage tested and sealed — the average Salem home leaks 20-30%
  • Fresh-air ventilation for tight, newer construction
  • UV and carbon options for odors, sized honestly (they're not magic)
  • Before-and-after particle readings so you can see what changed
07

24/7 emergency service

A real person, every hour.

No-heat and no-cool calls answered around the clock by someone in Salem — never a call center three states away.

After-hours fee $145 · waived for Comfort Club

When you need it

The furnace quits at 11pm in January, a pipe-freeze risk is on the table, or the house has an infant, an elder, or anyone who can't wait until morning.

What's included

  • Phone answered by a TrueNorth dispatcher, not an answering service
  • Two techs on rotation every night and every holiday
  • Temporary heat loaned out if a part has to come in the morning
  • Safety-first triage: gas leaks and CO get a same-hour response
  • After-hours fee waived entirely for Comfort Club members
  • Written summary of what failed and why, emailed before we leave
08

Ductwork & airflow

Where most comfort complaints actually live.

Repair, replacement and balancing — because a perfect furnace on bad ducts still gives you a cold back bedroom.

Assessment $175 · applied to the work

When you need it

One room is always ten degrees off, the system is loud, the crawlspace ducts have sagged, or a remodel left the trunk line undersized.

What's included

  • Static pressure measured at the equipment — the number nobody checks
  • Room-by-room airflow readings with a balometer
  • Crawlspace and attic runs re-hung, re-sealed and re-insulated
  • Mastic sealing, never foil tape that lets go in three years
  • Return air added where the house is starved for it
  • Balancing dampers set and labeled so they can be re-set seasonally
Flat pricing Same-day diagnosis 10-year workmanship Licensed & bonded No subcontractors

Every technician, every truck

NATE-certified, background-checked, and paid a salary — not a commission.

A commissioned technician makes more money when you buy more. Ours doesn't. That single decision is why our people can tell you a $180 capacitor will get you three more years, when the easier answer would have been a new system.

  • NATE certification, renewed
  • Background-checked & drug-tested
  • Photo ID and a named arrival
  • Boot covers and drop cloths, always
Plate 09 Equipment

We install what we'd put in our own houses.

Dealer for the brands below, and happy to service almost anything else. If a manufacturer's warranty support gets bad, we quietly stop selling them — which has happened twice in thirty-eight years.

  • Trane
  • Mitsubishi Electric
  • Bosch
  • Daikin
  • Rheem
  • Goodman
  • Aprilaire
  • Ecobee
Plate 10 Straight answers

What we don't do, and why.

Shorter list than the last one, and probably more useful.

Do you work on commercial rooftop units?
Light commercial, yes — package units up to about 12 tons on small offices, clinics and shops. Anything larger or with a building-management system, we'll hand you two names we trust rather than learn on your dime.
Will you service a system somebody else installed?
Almost always. The only thing we turn down is warranty work on brands we're not a dealer for, because we can't get the parts covered and you'd end up paying twice.
Do you do gas lines, water heaters or fireplaces?
We run and re-route gas lines for the equipment we install. Water heaters and gas fireplaces we leave to plumbers who do it every day.
What if my system is only five years old and already failing?
Then something was wrong from day one — usually sizing, airflow, or a charge that was never set correctly. We'll measure it and tell you which, in writing, before we talk about parts.

Not sure which of these you need?

Describe the symptom. We've heard it before, and we'll tell you which service it is before you book anything.
