Heat pumps are one of the most energy-efficient ways to heat and cool your Oregon home. Unlike traditional systems that require separate heating and air conditioning equipment, a heat pump provides year-round comfort from a single system.
At Petra Heating & Air Conditioning, our experienced HVAC professionals specialize in heat pump installation, replacement, repair, and maintenance throughout Clackamas, OR and surrounding communities. Whether you're considering a more energy-efficient system or need service for your existing equipment, our team can provide the expert guidance and dependable solutions your home deserves.
No matter the make or model, you can count on our knowledgeable technicians to keep your system running efficiently and reliably with professional heat pump services.
How Are Heat Pumps Different?
Electric heat pumps offer an energy-efficient alternative to furnaces and air conditioners. They work differently than more traditional heating and cooling systems.
Heat pumps take heat from the outdoors and transfer it into your home when our Oregon outdoor temperatures dip. Then during the warmer season, they move the heat from inside your home outdoors.
Because they transfer heat from one location to another instead of creating heat, heat pumps are very energy efficient, costing you much less in energy than conventional HVAC systems that burn fossil fuels to generate heat.
Heat Pump Benefits
Energy efficiency, which saves you money year-round, is just one of the multiple benefits a heat pump offers. If you don’t have a heat pump in your Clackamas, OR, home, now may be the time. Our heat pump installation experts will take care of the service for you as well as give you the advice needed to reduce your energy consumption and lower your home’s energy bills.
Another benefit is the positive impact a heat pump can have on your home’s indoor air quality (IAQ). Since a heat pump is simply transferring heat instead of creating it with fossil fuels, it does not contribute to poor indoor air quality.
At Petra Heating & Air Conditioning, our home comfort specialists only work with the industry’s leading systems and materials, so you can rest assured your heat pump will keep you comfortable for years.

Mark was the project manager. He came out first to set up what had to be done and then came the next day with Jon and Michael to get the project going.
Jon and Michael were there each day (three in total), worked through the day, and did a fine job on the installation of the heat pump. Plus, they were just two good guys to have on the job. When they were finished, they cleaned up the area and even wrapped our water heater while wrapping the furnace vents. Much appreciated that.
We had used Matt in years past on our oil furnace. He always did a great job. The furnace was still functioning well, but it was time to move on.
Petra is a company I can highly recommend.”
“Andy has 17 positive reviews – and I’m happy to write the 18th! He’s really as awesome as everyone says. Communicative, efficient, professional and kind. Thank you Petra and Andy for the ongoing maintenance.”
“Friendly, professional, quick, and thorough. Andy Fey is an excellent tech. I think he might be a six star guy. Thank you”
“Jason was great to work with. Very knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. He helped to troubleshoot unrelated problem over the phone with thermostat that came up hours after he fixed heat pump and left”
“While this review is specifically about our experience with Joe, all the people we have dealt with at Petra have been fantastic. Such a pleasure to deal with friendly, professional people.
Our experience with Joe was a complete pleasure. He was friendly, informative, polite and completely professional. He worked on the installation of our new heat pump most of the day and the work was overall surprisingly quiet. At the end, everything looked exactly as it had before thanks to having the entire area from the front door to the work area covered in tarps and also Joe’s professional work removing and replacing the ceiling.
We will not hesitate to recommend Petra to all our friends and neighbors.”
“Jason was early for our appointment and did an awesome job, as usual. He’s always professional and is a genuine good guy. I feel very confident in his (and everyone else at Petra) in their work ethic and we know we’re well taken care of!”
“On time. Very professional, thorough knowledge. Nice too.”
“I was so glad to speak with Rick about my water heater. Along with giving me a clear, detailed explanation of it’s current state, he explained how I could know if there was an issue in the future. Then, he kindly answered all my questions about water and heat alternatives and again clearly explained what would be most efficient and cost effective for my Lay-out!”
“I was very pleased with the installation and service. Thank you, Petra, for notifying me in advance and for complying with schedule as promised.”
“At the beginning of summer we realized our 30+ year old AC was not working. It had lost all coolant and repairs would be expensive and not at all certain to work. We ordered a new heat pump and are very happy with the results. Elkin and Servando did a great job of installing the new heat pup and removing all of the old system. Elkin showed us how everything worked and didn't leave until we were totally happy. We just had our inspection by the city and the inspector noted how good the job looked!
During this process, we met many other members of the Petra team and spoke to almost all of the office staff. From start to finish, it was a pleasant experience. We cannot recommend Petra highly enough!”
