AC & cooling
Heat-wave triage for the houses Portland never built for it.
While the truck is rolling
No cooling during a heat advisory with vulnerable people in the house? Tell dispatch — heat-risk calls are prioritized. Close blinds, run fans, and move to the lowest floor while we roll. Full shutoff walkthroughs live on the emergency page.
How we handle it
Half the houses in this city were built without cooling, and the systems bolted on since work hardest exactly when everyone else's do. During heat events we run extended dispatch hours and triage by risk — medical needs and top-floor units first. Most no-cool calls are capacitors, contactors, or clogged condensate switches and end inside the diagnostic flat rate; refrigerant work and replacements get firm written quotes before anything is opened.
Flat-rate price book
Ranges cover access and parts differences; the firm number is written at your door before work starts. The $79 dispatch & diagnosis fee is credited toward any of these.
