Before you buy

Is your panel ready for a heat pump?

A heat pump with backup heat strips is one of the largest loads in a home. Many Portland homes with 100-amp panels or fuse boxes don't have the room for it.

We check your panel first and tell you whether it's ready, needs a few changes, or needs a panel upgrade, before your HVAC install is scheduled.

Heat pump & A/C FAQ

Have a different question? Call 503-583-8050.

Does a heat pump need its own circuit?

Yes. The outdoor unit needs a dedicated 240-volt circuit and a disconnect, and the indoor air handler often needs its own circuit too.

Do you install the heat pump itself?

We handle the electrical work and coordinate with your HVAC contractor, who sets and connects the equipment.

Can I reuse my old A/C circuit?

Sometimes, if it matches the new unit's requirements. We check the nameplate and the existing wire and breaker, and replace them if they don't match.

Can you wire a mini-split in an ADU, garage or shop?

Yes. We often add a circuit or subpanel for mini-splits in ADUs, garages and detached shops.

Switching to a heat pump?

Send a photo of your panel and the new unit's spec sheet, and we'll let you know what it needs.
