Heat Pump Installation in Hillsboro, OR

Hillsboro has grown faster than almost anywhere else in Oregon, and that shows in its housing. Newer, transit-oriented neighborhoods like Orenco Station sit not far from a downtown core that’s been an incorporated city since 1876, so a heat pump project here can mean very different things depending on which part of town you’re in. A newer build might already be wired for an all-electric system. An older home closer to downtown might need a look at the panel and ductwork first.

One system, year-round. A heat pump moves heat rather than generating it, so it delivers both heating and cooling from a single piece of equipment. Resilient Retrofits installs Daikin heat pumps, ducted systems for homes with existing ductwork and ductless mini-splits for additions or homes without ducts. Either way, you get quiet operation, efficiency rated up to three times greater than electric resistance heat, and cooling that doesn’t depend on a window unit, useful during Hillsboro’s warmer summer stretches.

We start with the house, not the equipment. Before recommending a system, we look at your home’s layout, insulation, air sealing, and existing ductwork. That typically includes a load calculation and, when it’s useful, a blower door test. A home in South Hillsboro’s newer developments and a home near the original downtown core don’t need the same starting point, so we don’t treat them the same way.
