Air Conditioning

Whether you are coming home from a long, stressful day at work or you have finally collected your children from all their summer activities, the last thing you want to find is a hot, stuffy home and a broken air conditioner. One of our goals at Hybrid Heating & Air is to be sure that scenario does not happen to you. If you live in North Plains, you know the importance of having a working air conditioner in the summer.

One of the best ways to minimize the chances of having a failing air conditioning system here in Oregon is through regular maintenance.

Call our professional heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) team to conduct a thorough inspection and cleaning, so your air conditioner is ready for the big job ahead.

Besides minimizing the chances of failure, a well-maintained air conditioner will be more energy efficient, reducing your energy bills. In addition, you will also be extending the overall life of your unit, which means your air conditioning system can serve you in years to come.

Air Ducts

Do you want to know the secret to maintaining a comfortable climate in your home? How about an often-overlooked way to reduce your heating and cooling energy bills? Have the air ducts, or ductwork, in your in North Plains, home inspected.

That is right, the ductwork that travels all around your home may be the cause of uneven temperature distribution—rooms which are never quite warm or cool enough and waste energy.

One of our goals at Hybrid Heating & Air is to help homeowners like you get to know your duct system better. A comprehensive inspection can help identify leaks as well as places where additional insulation can conserve heat or cooling during air circulation.

Call our trained experts to learn about our air duct services. We can identify various points of your air duct network that may require professional sealing. In addition, if your ducts run through uninsulated parts of your home like your attic, we may recommend additional insulation to help you conserve energy.

If you are struggling with uneven heating and cooling due to poorly placed registers, we can solve that issue as well. Our team can help balance how the air is distributed in your home.

Furnaces

Building a new home or remodeling your current home is an exciting adventure for any family. If you are designing your dream home in Oregon, you may be overwhelmed by the number of decisions you need to make.

One decision you do not want to make hastily is what kind of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system you will install. This is also true when it comes time to replace or upgrade your current heating and cooling system.

Many homeowners select a furnace as their heating option. If that is where you are headed, be sure to call Hybrid Heating & Air for recommendations and assistance.

Furnaces have a long history in helping families keep warm in with cold weather. Today there are a vast number of furnaces on the market.

Gas Fireplaces

It’s been said the two things humans never get tired of watching are falling water and flickering flames. However, the hassle and struggle of a traditional wood-burning fireplace can be drawbacks to this timeless enjoyment in life. Enter the modern solution: residential gas fireplaces.

A gas fireplace offers cozy heat and warm flames without the mess of chimney sweeping and the chore of splitting and carrying wood into your Oregon home. Instead, you just flip a switch.

Some newer models even allow you to adjust how high the flames go and how hot your gas fire can get. And if you are worried about how realistic a gas fireplace looks, many models are now specifically designed to look like a traditional wood-burning fire.

On a more practical note, gas fireplaces are also much easier to set up in your North Plains home than a traditional wood burning heath and niche. They simply require a small chimney, good ventilation, and the desired unit. However, while you may find gas fireplace sets that seem to be easy to set up on your own, the actual installation should be left to our professionals.

Geothermal Heat Pumps

Residential geothermal heat pumps have been around for a very long time. They are energy efficient, are low cost in the long run, and work with nature instead of against it. Why don’t more companies talk about this heating and cooling option?

Sadly, it’s because some common myths are still circulating about geothermal heat pumps. Add that to the initial high cost and area restrictions on these systems and it’s easy for companies to stick to traditional heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. Here at Hybrid Heating & Air we break down the myths and open up this alternative option for our clients. So, what is geothermal heating?

In a nutshell, geothermal furnaces exchange the heat or the cold from your North Plains home with the temperature of the earth below you. Unlike the weather above, five feet into the earth, the temperature stays the same. And that energy is what geothermal heating and cooling systems tap into to keep your home comfortable. Depending on the model you consider, you may be able to heat your water supply as well with this clean, renewable energy.

On the flip side, they may cost more than traditional systems to set up and not all Oregon homes or buildings will be able to use geothermal HVAC systems. While these are big considerations, they should not hold you back from considering all the options available to you.

Heat Pumps

Heat pump technology has changed a great deal since it was invented. Although it was a byproduct of a deep freezer experiment, the heat pumps of today provide an effective, efficient way to deliver heating and cooling services to homeowners in Oregon.

How does a heat pump work? Heat pumps operate by transferring heat from one location to another.

In the colder months, heat pumps take heat from outdoors and send it indoors to warm your home. Then in the warmer months, they do the reverse like an air conditioner and remove the heat from indoors and move it outside. Our professionals at Hybrid Heating & Air can talk with you about your specific heating and cooling needs to see if a heat pump may be a good solution for you.

One big advantage of heat pumps is they do not burn fuel such as wood, oil, or natural gas. This means you typically reduce your energy bills in the long run, and your family’s heating and cooling needs are met in a more environmentally friendly manner.

Give Hybrid Heating & Air a call at 503-357-5663 to find out how heat pump technology has evolved and what models might fit your heating and cooling needs. Request heat pump service online today.

Indoor Air Quality

According to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the average American spends 93 percent of their time indoors. It’s no wonder that poor indoor air quality can have such a detrimental effect on your health. Our professionals at Hybrid Heating & Air can test your indoor air quality as well as provide tips and services to help you improve it in your Oregon home.

Common indoor air pollutants include dust and dust mites, pet hair and dander, bacteria and viruses, smoke, and chemicals from cleaning supplies and new furniture. Most heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems use an air filter to remove some of these pollutants. However, the size of particulates removed may vary depending on the quality of the filter.

Poor indoor air quality can lead to general discomfort or possibly more serious health issues. Asthma and allergies can both be aggravated by poor indoor air quality, causing additional respiratory distress.

Instead, consider having one of our air quality professionals come out and evaluate your North Plains home. Air duct cleaning, air purification systems, and HEPA (high-efficiency particulate air) filters may be recommended as part of a remediation program. Our trained experts will also inspect your HVAC system for potential leaks of carbon monoxide and other dangerous substances.

Hybrid Heating & Air wants to be your partner in providing safe and healthy indoor air quality. Call us at 503-357-5663 for more details. Request indoor air quality service online today.

Maintenance

The last thing you want to happen in the heat of the summer is to turn on your air conditioning system and find it blowing hot air or to fire up your furnace to find it broken as the mercury drops in the winter. One way to prevent this scenario from occurring is to schedule regular HVAC maintenance service calls during the shoulder seasons. Our professionals at Hybrid Heating & Air will be happy to come out in the spring to inspect your air conditioner and again in the fall to check your furnace.

Our trained technicians will perform a multipoint inspection to make sure everything is in good working order. In addition, they will thoroughly clean all the components of your system and change filters. If they discover any worn parts, they will advise replacement to avoid a costly repair later. Lubrication, tightening of electrical connections, and a safety check are included.

By investing in regular HVAC maintenance for your North Plains home, you will keep your home comfortable. In addition, you can save money on your energy bills in Oregon and increase the longevity of your entire system in the long run. Maintenance inspections are usually much less expensive than emergency repair calls, saving you money down the road.

Zone Control Systems

Technology continues to advance on all fronts today, especially in the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) field. One of the more exciting new developments is zone control systems . These systems tie into your overall HVAC system; however, they provide you with superior temperature control in different zones of your Oregon home.

Here’s how they work. Each zone of your home has its own thermostat, which can be programmed by day and time. As one zone “calls” your central system, automatic dampers open and close to direct the heating or cooling to that particular zone. If a second zone puts in a request, dampers adjust accordingly. Your HVAC system will continue to run until all zones reach their desired temperatures.

Our Hybrid Heating & Air team can work with you to see if your current HVAC system can work with a zone control system. In most cases, controlling temperature by zones of your home will reduce the amount of energy you consume and lower your monthly utility bills.

Gone are the days of trying to determine the optimum temperature for your entire home or trying to manually close and open vents in the middle of your daily duties. Zone control systems take the worry out of managing your North Plains home’s comfort levels and energy consumption.

Contact Hybrid Heating & Air at 503-357-5663 with any questions about zone control systems. Our team would be happy to help you determine if it’s right for you. Request zone control system service online today.
