Heat Pump Installation Gresham, OR

Heat pumps for Gresham homes

Gresham sits at the mouth of the Gorge. East wind events bring cold, dry air and ice storms. A cold-climate heat pump, or dual fuel with your furnace as backup, is the smart call.

What we see in Gresham homes

Gresham has a big stock of 1970s through 1990s homes, plus older houses near downtown and Rockwood. Gas furnaces with add-on AC are common, and many are at or past the end of their life.

Because Gresham takes the brunt of the Columbia Gorge east winds, the right heat pump choice here matters more than anywhere else in the metro.
