HVAC Replacement When You Need It Most
Watts Heating and Cooling is a family-owned and operated HVAC company dedicated to providing our customers with the very best HVAC installation services to keep you and your household living in comfort year-round.
Is It Time For a New HVAC System?
Heating and cooling systems last a long time, but not forever. Most homeowners will have to install a new air conditioner or furnace at some point. It can be hard to know when it’s time to replace your HVAC system in order to live comfortably all year long. However, there are a few key signs that your unit may need replaced.
Older System
Modern HVAC systems can last around 10-20 years, though some systems may last even longer. Knowing the age of your system can help you decide whether it’s time to replace an older system.
Increasing Utility Bills
An increase in your utility bills can be a sign of lower system efficiency—which could mean it’s time for a new HVAC installation, especially if it’s an older unit.
Frequent Repairs
If you find that you need to call more often for repairs of your unit, it may be time to invest in a new HVAC system. Frequent repairs over time add up and don’t necessarily improve efficiency, making replacement a better option.
Uneven Temperatures
If your unit is not producing the right air temperature, or if the air is the correct temperature but the air stream is weak, it may be time for a new HVAC installation.
If the HVAC system in your home or business is showing any of these signs, or you’re interested in upgrading to a more efficient system, contact Watts Heating and Cooling today.

Choosing the Right AC and Heating System
At Watts Heating and Cooling, we know your home comfort system is likely the biggest use of energy in your home or business. We also know that effective air conditioning, furnace, and even gas fireplace installation can have a huge impact on your energy costs and indoor comfort.
Our expert installation services are provided by Watts’ skilled team of factory-trained professionals. We are also proud to be an Authorized Daikin Dealer and an Authorized Bryant Dealer.
Furnaces
Today’s new high-efficiency furnaces can save up to 50% in operating costs over a ten-year-old furnace. We offer a range of furnaces, many with variable and multi-speed features that can provide enhanced indoor comfort.
Heat Pumps
Heat pumps work by transferring heat energy from place to place. They look similar to an air conditioner and act just like one during the summer when you need to cool your home. However, when cooler weather hits northwestern Oregon, a heat pump reverses the cooling process to heat your home comfortably.
Ductless Mini-Split
Ductless mini-splits are highly efficient all-year systems. Mini-splits work by using a relatively small amount of energy to transfer heat from the air or the ground from outside to inside. In the summer, they work like an air conditioner to remove heat and humidity from rooms in your home. Ductless mini-splits work best in climates that don’t experience a huge swing in temperatures, like Portland and the Pacific Northwest in general.
High-Efficiency HVAC Systems
HVAC systems may look similar at first glance but their energy efficiency and heating and cooling capacity can vary greatly. Watts offers many systems that have advanced features, such as two-stage compressors and variable speed fan operation. These features not only improve the comfort level of your home but can provide additional energy savings as well.
Not ready for a new system? Watts also offers HVAC maintenance and HVAC repair services to keep your unit in top-notch condition.
Benefits of Replacing Your HVAC System
If you’ve found that you are spending more on frequent repairs, it may be time to replace your HVAC system. A new system is designed for more efficient energy usage and can provide greater benefits in the long term.
Improved Comfort
With a new HVAC system, you will find that your preferred temperature is more consistently maintained than with an older system. You won’t be adjusting as much—or wondering why it takes so long to get it just right!
Lower Utility Bills
A high-efficiency HVAC system can perform at a better rate for energy usage. This means that you may see a decrease in your bills because you are using less energy to get to your preferred temperature.
Better Indoor Air Quality
New HVAC systems run more efficiently, experiencing less wear and tear, because the blowers do not constantly cycle on and off. This means that the flow of air inside of your house is moving better, is not collecting as much dust, and keeps the quality up!
Manufacturer Warranty
We offer full factory warranties on all equipment and labor to help you find the right protection for your investment.
Financing Options
Watts offers convenient financing options with approved credit to help you afford the lifestyle and comfort you’re looking for.

New HVAC Unit FAQs
How do I know if I need a new HVAC?
You should generally replace your HVAC system if it is around 10 to 15 years old, requires frequent repairs, or if a major repair will cost more than 50% of the value of a new system. Waiting for a total breakdown often leads to higher emergency replacement costs during peak seasons.
How long does installation take for a new AC or furnace?
The timeline for your HVAC installation depends on many things, including the system you choose, whether you need new ductwork, and the space in your home where our technicians will be working. Some installations may take only a day, while others will take longer; however, we will always provide you with a timeline when we give you a quote.
What size heating and cooling system is the right one for my house?
The right HVAC system size depends on your home’s square footage, insulation, windows, and local climate. A certified technician from Watts can help you determine the right size for your home and needs!
Should I replace my furnace and air conditioner at the same time?
Typically, yes— it’s recommended to replace your furnace and air conditioner at the same time if both are over 10 to 15 years old. Replacing them as a matched pair guarantees better energy efficiency, ensures all components communicate seamlessly, and saves on installation labor.
What is the benefit of a high efficiency system compared to older models?
Upgrading to a high-efficiency system can significantly lower your utility bills and shrink your carbon footprint. Advanced features can also provide more consistent, comfortable indoor temperatures, and some can qualify you for utility rebates or tax incentives.
How long does an HVAC unit typically last?
Modern HVAC systems can last between 10 and 20 years. Regular maintenance helps lengthen the lifespan of your system.
