Jacobs brings heating and cooling solutions to both our residential and commercial customers in the Portland metro area, offering quality installation and the best products from leading brands so you - our neighbors - thrive.

Furnaces are the hidden heroes of our homes, giving us consistent warmth on cold, wet Portland days and nights. As with most things, furnaces don't last forever and when it finally gives up the ghost, huddling in your favorite blanket indefinitely isn't the answer. If your system is over 10 years old and having trouble keeping your home warm, it might be time to have a professional look it over. Jacobs Heating & Air Conditioning has been trusted by Portland-area homeowners since 1952. We install top-quality Carrier furnace systems guaranteed to run without worry or hassle.

Living in the rainy Pacific Northwest, we spend months inside, hunkering down with our cozy blankets and hot drinks. Indoor air quality can be significantly affected by our homes being closed up for months. Stale, recycled indoor air is typically more polluted than outdoor air and yet we often don't notice until we get sick. Pets, candles, carpets, furniture, and fireplaces are some of the more common indoor air pollutants. Poor indoor air has been linked to a laundry list of health issues including headaches, fatigue, trouble concentrating, and irritation of the eyes, nose, throat, and lungs.

In an age where we are all looking to make our homes smarter, a thermostat is a good place to start. Modern thermostats can save you money on energy, keep your home or business at an ideal temperature, connect with the internet for remote control, or even learn your habits and preferences to optimize comfort. Of all the ways to save money on energy bills, upgrading your thermostat is one of the easiest and least expensive. Without changing out your entire HVAC system, a new thermostat can increase your comfort and stop the constant fiddling with manual settings.

Your HVAC system can't put chains on your car or sunscreen on your back, but it can make sure you have a comfortable home to come back to after every adventure. Jacobs Heating & Air Conditioning has the solutions you're looking for and can help you choose from a wide variety of leading brands and products. We ensure the best possible results by recommending top quality systems and custom fitting them to your home or office. When it comes to the best air conditioners, Carrier units can't be beat.

Most of us don't think about how much we love air conditioning until it gets hot. Restless nights and sweaty days can take a toll on you in the midst of summer. If you have a system that is more than 10 years old, it might be time for a trusted professional to take a look. Jacobs Heating & Air Conditioning has been providing high-quality service in Portland and Vancouver since 1952. Homeowners know they can rely on us for top-notch air conditioning installations. An underperforming air conditioner can be frustrating, uncomfortable, and expensive.

Centralized heating is an amazing invention that brings convenience and comfort. No more huddling around a fire. There are two types of heating systems that heat American homes - furnaces and residential boilers. Residential boiler systems produce steam or hot water that is sent throughout the home to radiators that heat the rooms. By providing radiant heat, boilers can make a room feel warmer and more balanced throughout the winter months. Every residential heater eventually needs repairs or replacement and a boiler is no exception.

Adjusting your thermostat can feel like a constant battle. Turn up the heat enough to warm the living room and your bedroom turns into a sauna. Try to save energy by keeping the AC on low and you end up sweating every time you walk upstairs. Ductless heat pumps offer more customizable heating and cooling — in one room, several rooms, or throughout your whole house. A ductless heat pump installation from Jacobs Heating & Air Conditioning leaves you with a sleek, efficient system that keeps you comfortable in any weather.

Beneath the dirt in your backyard is an untapped energy source that is both renewable and free — the earth. Instead of using oil or gas, geothermal heat pumps harness the earth's energy to heat and cool your home. It's the most energy-efficient, sustainable, and cost-effective HVAC system on the market. Jacobs Heating & Air Conditioning is proud to be at the forefront of emerging energy technology. We install Carrier geothermal heat pumps designed to offer superior comfort and savings. Heating, cooling, and hot water combined make up about 70% of total energy costs for most homes.

An unexpected cold shower is a clear indicator that something is wrong with your water heater. Rushing to make a decision about a water heater the moment it dies is a very real temptation - one we would highly recommend you resist. Choosing to repair your water heater or install a new water heater for your home means evaluating energy-efficiency, ventilation type, and installation costs. You have a lot of options based on fuel and system: electric or gas water heaters, storage or tankless water heaters.

There is nothing quite like sitting by a cozy fireplace, hot cocoa in hand. While we love the crackle of a fire for warmth and comfort, traditional fireplaces are notoriously inefficient. Older fireplaces are energy hogs - converting only about 15% of the wood's energy into useful heat. From heat loss to chimney cleaning fees to buying wood, the cost in time and money for an old fireplace really adds up. Open fireplaces are often a major source of air leaks, sending your money (and heat) right up the chimney - literally.

If you are experiencing difficulties with your heating and cooling products or system, please feel free to contact Jacobs' Service Department. But before calling us, here are a few simple solutions you can use to attempt to solve the problem. You can choose up to three dates and appointment time windows to help expedite scheduling. We'll do our best to meet your specific date/time request but may not always be able to accommodate your request.

Furnaces and air conditioners are two of the biggest energy guzzlers in most homes. High utility bills and environmental concerns have many homeowners looking for smarter options. Flexible heat pumps are the gold standard of energy-efficient heating and cooling. Instead of generating heat, they use electricity to move heat from one place to another. For years, Jacobs has been installing cutting-edge Carrier heat pumps that work hard but run quiet and their repair experts are ready to help when your existing heat pump isn't working at peak performance.

Cooking, water heating, clothes drying, and fireplaces are just some of the ways natural gas can enhance your life. Natural gas is wonderfully versatile with an extra bonus - natural gas is among the least expensive and most efficient ways to fuel your home. If you are adding a new gas appliance such as a gas furnace, water heater, stove or barbecue then you are likely going to need a new gas line. Or you may just need your line relocated and the safety features upgraded. Here's how Jacobs Heating & Air Conditioning can help.

Gas and steam boilers are made to provide balanced heat in your home throughout the winter. If you have an older boiler system or recently bought a home with a boiler system it may be difficult to know what exactly to do with it. Boilers are made to produce radiant heat through a hot water system. The hot water warms an object, such as a radiator or a baseboard in the room and then returns the cooled water back to the boiler to be reheated. A gas or steam boiler are a bit more complex than a forced air furnace which means repairs should be left to a pro.

Before chilly autumn nights set in, you need to make an appointment for your annual furnace maintenance. Neglect is the number one reason furnaces wear out. Just like servicing your car, furnaces need regular TLC to work. Whether you need regular maintenance or repair, Jacobs' technicians can help keep your furnace in tip-top shape. Cycling between the "On" and "Off" mode can indicate a clogged filter or a wrong thermostat setting. Both are easy to troubleshoot. Check your thermostat settings and make sure your filter is clean.

When the rain is pattering on the roof and all your windows are closed tight, you want your home to stay cozy and fresh — not stuffy. If you are starting to notice dusty vent covers, musty smells, or worsening allergies symptoms, dirty ducts could be the culprit. Regular air duct cleaning can help keep your HVAC system in top shape so it provides you with clean, comfortable air all day and night. Air duct cleaning can remove mold, allergens, dust buildup, and other pollutants from your HVAC system.

Disaster often strikes at the worst possible time. Whether it's a dead air conditioner in August or sudden cold showers in December, HVAC emergencies can be a huge headache.

Whether you are building a new home or have a beautiful historic home your goal is the same - you want to be comfortable every day. Often with existing homes come older heating systems and ductwork.
