Electrify Stories - Heat Pumps
Hear from people who have installed heat pumps for their home space heating…
Pierre-Laurent and Serena - Portland, OR
“The heating & cooling system is very responsive. Also, it’s as quiet as a mouse, and it only disturbs the leaves outside our windows... not us. Sky Heating was great, and we love it!”
Emily and Miel - Portland, OR
“Our Pearl District condo building underwent a rooftop repair project that required the removal of multiple HVAC compressors that were nearing the end of their service lives. With Electrify Now's help, we saw the opportunity for a mass conversion from traditional HVAC systems to heat pumps. Electrify Now connected us with Sky Heating, who gave interested owners a great deal on a range of heat pump models. By the end of the project, Sky had replaced 18 old systems with heat pumps, working within multiple Covid safety measures in the building. Their team was flexible, supportive and total pros throughout. We're super happy with our heat pump -- it's way quieter and much more comfortable than what we had. And it's really satisfying to know we've made this one small move towards a clean energy future.”
Ami and Trent - Portland, OR
“We just had installers here at our house to put in a new heat pump furnace to replace our gas furnace. It’s a very exciting day for us! It’s way more fancy than my old furnace with a digital interface, wifi and a phone app--pretty cool😊. We called Sky heating because it was on the recommended list and once I talked to Ryan Brawn he understood what we were trying to do and was very helpful. That made the process easier. We are loving it. We now just have to replace the water heater to get our house totally off of natural gas!”
Ernest and Johanna - Portland, OR
“We love our new heat pump furnace! The temperature in the house is far more consistent than it was previously, and Jo and I have been blown away (no pun intended ;-) by how remarkably quiet the new system is. I figured it would be quieter since the business end of the system is now outside the house, but the extent of the change is remarkable. This is a particularly nice benefit for Jo, given that she works from home.”
Randall - Portland, OR
“We just built a new house with an ADU that is all electric and environmentally friendly. Originally, we were going to have a gas heating system, but we swapped that out for two heat pump mini-splits that heat and cool. They cost just the same as the gas heating system and provide cooling to boot! I have been talking up this system to all of my friends who are considering air conditioning in their house.”
Brian and Perrin - Portland, OR
“We replaced our gas furnace with a central ducted heat pump. We love how it is continually moving air in the house so it keeps the air filtered as well as keeping the house warm. We definitely noticed how that helped during the wild fires when the air outside was so bad - clean air inside!”
Jules - Portland, OR
“When we decided to upgrade our home, we knew we wanted to get rid of our old oil furnace, and we wanted to future-proof our heating and cooling. An electric heat pump made the most sense - we got both heating and air-conditioning, and we knew we could always run it off solar if we wanted to. Now we have a system that is very cost-effective, comfortable, and part of our resilience plan.”
Alison - Portland, OR
“We just replaced our aging gas furnace for an electric heat pump. We love the even heat it provides! We thought our house was drafty but it turns out it was the forced air from the furnace. By paying a little more for Clean Energy through our power company, we feel we are doing our small part to slow carbon emissions. Bucky loves it too!”
