Energy Trust of Oregon Rebate Qualified

Professional air conditioning installation with high-efficiency systems qualifies for Energy Trust rebates. However, if you’re looking for substantial rebates, heat pump systems offer the most significant incentives. These incentives, combined with federal tax credits, can reduce your net installation cost.

Air Conditioning Installation Options for Bend Homes

Central Air Conditioning Systems

Traditional ducted air conditioning installation connects to existing ductwork, providing whole-house cooling through your current HVAC system. This option is ideal for homes with good ductwork and central heating systems.

Ductless Air Conditioning Systems

Ductless AC installation offers flexible zone control without requiring ductwork modifications. Ductless systems are perfect for home additions, older homes without existing ducts, or creating customized comfort zones throughout larger homes.

 

Heat Pump Installation for Year-Round Comfort

Modern heat pump systems provide both heating and cooling in one efficient unit. Cold-climate heat pumps maintain heating capacity even at 5°F, making them perfect for Central Oregon’s diverse weather patterns. Converting to high-energy efficient systems has many energy incentives available.

Signs Your Bend Home Needs Air Conditioning Installation

Current System Over 12 Years Old

Air conditioners typically last 12-15 years in Central Oregon’s climate. If your system approaches this age, new air conditioning installation provides better efficiency, reliability, and warranty protection.

Frequent Repairs and Rising Costs

Multiple repair calls or expensive annual repair costs indicate it’s time for air conditioning installation rather than continued maintenance on failing equipment. Additionally, with the new refrigerant change in 2025 by the Federal Government, finding parts for systems using R-22 is near obsolete, and systems using 410a refrigerant will increase incrementally year over year until parts become obsolete as well.

Uneven Cooling Throughout Your Home

Hot spots, inconsistent temperatures, or rooms that never cool properly often indicate undersized or failing systems, which might be due to leaky ducts as well. Professional air conditioning installation ensures even cooling throughout your home.

Dramatically Higher Energy Bills

Rising cooling costs without increased usage signal declining efficiency. New air conditioning installation with modern technology can reduce energy consumption by 30-50% compared to older systems.

Energy Efficiency That Saves Money

High SEER2 Ratings Reduce Operating Costs. Modern air conditioning systems operate more efficiently than systems installed 10-15 years ago. For the average Bend home, this translates to real annual savings.

Smart Thermostat Integration. Air conditioning installation can include smart thermostat integration for optimal efficiency and convenience. Program cooling schedules, monitor energy usage, and adjust settings remotely. We typically install Ecobee or Honeywell thermostats. In the past few years, 70% of installations used Ecobee thermostats, but the new S1200 Honeywell thermostat is a great product, and we’re predominantly installing those with a new, unique design that is user-friendly and communicates with HVAC systems very well.

Reviews

Had Wade come out and give us a proposal after getting a couple other quotes in town. Very professional and talked us through everything, recommended a deep clean of our ducts as well (since who knows when those were last cleaned!!) Scott and his crew then came in and installed everything – again very professional, great communication when things were taking a bit longer, and just made sure we were 110% happy with our service. Highly recommend!

“I interviewed several companies before choosing Bend Heating & Sheet Metal to retrofit air conditioning to my forced air heating system. The a/c works fine and I’m very glad I got it done. Decided on them because they seemed the most professional and on the ball. The people I dealt with had hands on experience rather than being career salesmen. I was given choices of equipment and there was no pressure. The job was completed in one day and they did a good job of cleaning up after themselves as well as following through with scheduling inspections. Price was reasonable and competitive.”

Bend Heating did an amazing job helping me out with my air conditioner. From the time I submitted my information online, they called quickly and came to visit my home when they said they would. They diagnosed the problem and repaired my AC. Their staff explained everything in detail and was very professional. My air conditioner is now running better than ever thanks Bend Heating.
