Air Ducts

The newest and most efficient air conditioning system in the world will not heat or cool your home properly if the air duct system is in poor condition. The ductwork is responsible for taking conditioned air and distributing it throughout your home and into each room.

The signs of poorly maintained heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) ductwork are obvious: hot and cold spots throughout the house, noisy air vents, or even air ducts that sweat and drip.

The ductwork in your home cannot be ignored. Our experts at L & J Heating & Cooling have years of experience with duct cleaning, air vent installation, and even the design and repair of entire ductsystems. Utility costs in continue to rise and studies show residential electric bills are reduced when air ducts are cleaned, sealed, and repaired.

You and your family deserve a comfortable home with an efficient and quiet air conditioning system. Call us at 971-266-6063to start seeing the improvements to your heating and air conditioning system our services bring. Request air duct service online today.

Ductless Systems

There are some rooms in your home that are never comfortable. Maybe it is the playroom at the end of the hall or the sunroom with all the big windows. No matter how you adjust the thermostat, it just never feels right. You might think adding a new air conditioning unit just for that room is too expensive or disruptive.

In most cases, you might be right, but a ductless system , sometimes called a mini split system, lets you add a dedicated unit to one room without the expense and disruption of ducted systems.

A ductless mini split surface mounts on the wall without the need for ductwork and vents cut into the walls. The wall-mounted unit blows warm or cool air into the room and draws it back in through one piece of equipment. The outdoor condensing unit is small and works quietly sitting outside the house.

Almost everyone in has a room that could feel better with its own ductless unit. Our heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) team at L & J Heating & Cooling can help, so call us at 971-266-6063. We can estimate what ductless system is right for you.

Most homes having a conventional heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system have one thermostat controlling the temperature for the entire home. Over the years, many attempts have been made to control the temperature in particular rooms to reduce energy consumption and costs. For example, some people may close vents in unused rooms or program a thermostat to different temperatures throughout a 24-hour period.

Today, zone control systems are available to provide you with even more control over the temperatures in certain areas of your home. For example, if you want to only heat your upstairs bedrooms in your home on cold winter nights, you can increase the temperature in that zone while decreasing it in the downstairs zone.

Our L & J Heating & Cooling professionals can help you install a zone control system, which includes motorized dampers that can open and close based on programmed instructions. Each zone of your home has its own thermostat, allowing you to customize temperatures within the zones. The thermostats and dampers are then connected to the central HVAC system.

When one thermostat calls the central system for heat, for example, the automated dampers will open and close appropriately before the furnace fires up. If other zones call for heat during this period, those dampers will open as well. As soon as all thermostats have reached the desired temperatures, the HVAC system will shut off. This makes for high efficiency and lower energy costs.
