Air Conditioning Installation and Replacement
If your air conditioner has reached the point where repairs no longer do the job or your home’s energy efficiency is at an all-time low, you may need a new system. When your Portland, OR, home is ready for a new or replacement air conditioner, our Sun Glow Home Services professionals will install your cooling system without delay.
How do you know if you need a replacement air conditioner? Here are some of the most common issues. Your unit is:
- Approaching the end of its life span, usually between 15 and 20 years
Efficiency decreases as your system gets closer to the end of its life. You want to act proactively to plan what your replacement purchase will be instead of acting reactively when your system unexpectedly quits. This can save you money.
- Experiencing more and more repairs
Similar to when your car requires more and more repairs, there comes a time for evaluation. Are you spending more in repairs than it would cost to invest in a new system? If the answer is yes, call and talk to one of our knowledgeable team members to discuss your options.
- Showing signs of running inefficiently
How can you tell if your air conditioner is running inefficiently? A good indication is if your energy bills are increasing and your utility company’s rates remain steady.
This typically demonstrates it’s taking longer for your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system to cool down your Oregon home to your preferred comfort level. Your system is running longer and using more energy than it should in this case—an increase in energy costs.
If you notice any of these signs with your air conditioner, or if you suspect another reason for needing a replacement, talk to one of our Sun Glow Home Services team members. We will design a system best matched for your comfort needs and budget. Our experts are always here to help you.
We also offer several financing options to help if this is a concern. Contact us to discuss how our team can guide you through our process.
Air Conditioning Repairs
Not having your air conditioner working on the hottest of days in Oregon can be exasperating. Whenever you need a repair, let our heating and cooling experts quickly remedy it for you.
There are many ways your air conditioner can stop working in its normal capacity. A few symptoms you could experience are:
- Hearing an unusual noise
- Smelling an unusual odor like burning
- Feeling warm air coming from your vents
- Noticing your air conditioner is frozen
- Leaking water
These symptoms mean you have an issue with your air conditioner. Ignoring problems usually only makes them bigger and more costly. Our recommendation is to have one of our Sun Glow Home Services team members promptly diagnose and repair the issue for you.
When you do need our professionals to make a repair, you can count on it staying repaired. We make our repairs right the first time—and only use the highest quality parts and materials when working on your system. Our experts are always here for you.

“Travis, Sun Glow's technician for our repair, was great. Knowledgeable, friendly, efficient.”
“Perfect service, beginning to end. My A/C gave out on a Friday evening (of course on the weekend). I called Monday morning and scheduled an appointment for a week later (because my personal schedule was sprinkled with appointments I couldn't cancel). But the scheduler, who was very helpful said she would let me know if something opened up earlier. Boom, a little later I heard back that a cancelled appointment made my regular service guy, Jerry, available that very morning! I even received a text message and a phone call telling me Jerry was on his way, so I wouldn't have to be wondering when he would show up. Well, he showed up without delay, diagnosed the problem (a broken fuse) and had it fixed within half an hour. No muss, no fuss. Completely professional. Even if the repair hadn't been simple, it was still a well-handled service call.”
“Once again our expectations were exceeded from the team at Sun Glow (Travis and Arin). As a matter of fact, Travis did such a stellar job diagnosing and repairing the A/C at my house in Columbia County, I asked for him specifically for a routine maintenance call at my house in Portland.”
“Been using Sunglow for almost 20 years now. Been very happy with them. They have done maintenance, installation and repair at my house. Their service personnel have always been great. In 20 years only had one issue which had to be adjusted. That’s a stellar record for any company.”
“First of all, I need to thank you, Keri, for standing with me on this huge problem that I had to deal with on my own. All these is new to me & you were able to help me correct the problem. TRAVIS was great. He worked from 8 am. till a little after 2 pm, making sure he got it fixed correctly. He made sure he wasn't going to need to come back to do anything to that again. I believed him just by seeing how thorough(?) he was. He definitely gets a 10 from me. He worked hard, making sure everything worked the way it should👍 Thank you again❣️👏”
“Our technician Nathan was very informative of our options in fixing our air conditioner. Since it’s an older unit, he also provided valuable information on replacement when we are ready.”
“Nathan was friendly, courteous, and thorough.”
“We called during a heat wave. They came out the next day for quote and then installed quickly too! We are very happy with the air conditioner we got and the trash at Sun Glow was a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend.”
