A furnace that won't fire up, runs constantly, or makes strange noises needs attention before the problem gets worse. Furnace repair involves diagnosing the exact fault—igniter, heat exchanger, blower motor, or controls—and fixing it correctly. Portland winters aren't the time to gamble on a malfunctioning heater. Ask about current scheduling availability to get a technician out quickly.

Stark Shield Air Solutions installs new furnaces sized correctly for your home's layout and insulation. A properly matched system heats more evenly and costs less to run. We handle removal of the old unit and full setup of the new one.

Heat pumps are popular in Portland for good reason—they handle both heating and cooling efficiently. Servicing one requires familiarity with refrigerant cycles, reversing valves, and defrost controls. Our technicians can help identify why a heat pump is losing efficiency, not switching modes, or making unusual sounds, and get it back to reliable operation.

The right thermostat makes your HVAC system noticeably easier to manage. We install and configure programmable and smart thermostats, making sure they're correctly wired and communicating with your heating and cooling equipment. A properly set-up thermostat can help you stop heating or cooling an empty house—simple changes that add up over a full season.

Leaky or poorly routed ducts quietly undermine even the best HVAC equipment. We inspect ductwork for gaps, disconnections, and buildup that reduce airflow throughout your home. Sealing problem areas helps your system distribute conditioned air where it's actually needed. If you've noticed certain rooms staying stuffy or cold, the duct system is often a worthwhile place to start.

A seasonal tune-up covers cleaning, inspection of key components, checking refrigerant levels, and testing controls. Staying on top of maintenance helps your heating and cooling equipment run more reliably and can help identify developing problems early, rather than discovering them on the coldest night of the year.
