About us
Built on doing this properly
Pacific Northwest houses have their own problems — damp, old ductwork, heat pumps asked to work in a cold snap. Four decades in the same city is why we usually know before we open the panel.
You will find us at 1420 NW Overton St, Portland, OR 97209. Mon–Fri 7 AM–6 PM, Sat 8 AM–2 PM, Closed Sunday.

Called at 8am with no AC in a heat wave, cool by lunch. The tech was friendly, walked me through the issue, and had us back up and running before dinner. Honest pricing, no upsell.

Got three quotes for a new furnace. Northwind wasn't the cheapest, but they were the only ones who actually inspected the ductwork before quoting. Install team was on time and clean.

We've had them out for a tune-up three winters running. Same team, same quality. Their Comfort Club plan caught a failing capacitor that would've died on the coldest week.

Questions we get every week
How much does an AC repair cost?
Most diagnostics are a flat visit fee that's credited toward the repair. We give you a written, flat-rate price before we touch anything, you approve it first.
Should I repair or replace my system?
If your unit is over 12–15 years old, uses R-22 refrigerant, or the repair is more than a third of a replacement, we'll walk you through the math honestly. We also offer free second opinions.
Do you offer financing?
Yes, qualified homeowners can finance a new system from $99/month with $0 down, approved on the spot.
How often should I service my furnace?
Once a year, ideally in early fall. Annual maintenance keeps the warranty valid and catches small issues before they become no-heat emergencies.
Is a heat pump worth it in the Northwest?
For most homes, yes. Modern cold-climate heat pumps are efficient well below freezing and can cut heating costs significantly, often with utility rebates on top.
Do mini-splits work for a whole house?
They can. A multi-zone system pairs one outdoor unit with several indoor heads. For larger homes we'll compare ductless against a ducted heat pump and recommend the better fit.
