Eugene Heat Pump Services
Convenient, Energy-Efficient Heating and Cooling Units for Southern Willamette Valley Region Homes
Heat pump technology has transformed how local homes stay comfortable throughout the seasons, offering efficient heating and cooling in a single system. Priority One Heating & Air Conditioning installs, repairs, and maintains both traditional ducted heat pumps that work with existing ductwork and modern ductless mini-split systems that provide targeted climate control for specific rooms or zones. Whether you're looking to replace an aging heating system, add cooling to a home that never had it, or create custom comfort zones throughout your property, our licensed and insured HVAC technicians have the expertise to design and install the perfect heat pump solution.
We understand how Oregon's wet winters and surprisingly warm summers can challenge your heat pump. That’s why we recommend systems and solutions that deliver reliable performance year-round and are designed to maximize efficiency while providing the consistent comfort you deserve. From single-room ductless units to whole-home ducted systems, we can handle every aspect of heat pump service with the attention to detail that's kept us in business for over 25 years.

How Heat Exchange Technology Works
Heat pumps operate on a simple but ingenious principle: they move heat from one place to another rather than creating it through combustion or electrical resistance. The system uses a refrigerant that absorbs heat from outdoor air (even when it feels cold outside) and concentrates that heat using a compressor before releasing it inside your home. This process reverses during cooling season, with the system extracting heat from indoor air and releasing it outside.
The key component is the refrigerant, which changes between liquid and gas states as it moves through the system. When the refrigerant evaporates, it absorbs heat; when it condenses, it releases heat. A compressor pressurizes the refrigerant to control these state changes, while expansion valves regulate flow and pressure throughout the system. This heat transfer process requires much less energy than generating heat directly, making heat pumps significantly more efficient than traditional heating methods.
Even on cold days, outdoor air contains usable heat that the system can extract and concentrate. Modern heat pumps can extract meaningful heat from air temperatures well below freezing, making them viable heating solutions in Oregon’s usual winter conditions.

How Heat Pumps Compare to Other HVAC Options
Because heat pumps operate differently from conventional heating and cooling equipment, they can offer you unique advantages and operating characteristics.
Heat pumps come with benefits like:
- Dual-season operation. Heat pumps provide both heating and cooling from a single system, eliminating the need for separate furnaces and air conditioners while reducing maintenance requirements.
- Energy efficiency. By moving heat rather than generating it, heat pumps can deliver 3-4 times more heating energy than they consume in electricity, significantly reducing utility costs.
- Consistent temperature control. Heat pumps run longer cycles at lower output levels, maintaining more even temperatures throughout your home without the temperature swings common in furnaces.
- Installation flexibility. Ductless systems can add climate control to specific rooms without extensive ductwork modifications, while ducted systems integrate with existing distribution networks.
When your heat pump is installed and serviced by the professionals at Priority One Heating & Air Conditioning you can trust that it has what it takes to bring you reliable, affordable comfort year-round.
