Efficient Heating and Cooling Systems by Ruud

Ruud heat pumps are a great solution for heating and cooling in the Portland metro area. Instead of creating warm or cool air, heat pumps simply transfer the air between the indoors and the outdoors, for the ultimate in efficient comfort. While heat pumps may require supplemental heating for extremely cold temperatures, they work exceptionally well in the mild climate of the Pacific Northwest. Not only do they heat and cool a home, but heat pumps maintain humidity levels and filter out particles and allergens for clean, fresh indoor air.

Ruud provides a variety of energy-efficient, quality central air conditioners. These systems have an outdoor unit (with a condenser and a compressor), as well as an indoor unit made up of a fan and an evaporator coil. Warm air is removed from the inside and cycled back through the supply and return ducts when it’s cooler. Ruud’s reliable and affordable long-lasting systems will keep your home or business cool all summer long.

Stay warm when cold weather strikes! Ruud provides safe, reliable heating with their variety of gas and electric furnaces. The efficiency of furnaces is measured by Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE), which range between 80%-98%. Furnaces with a higher rating will yield higher efficiency. Higher efficiency models may cost more upfront, but you can expect to save more in the long run with lower energy bills. The Heating Specialist will carefully evaluate your budget, home size, lifestyle and heating needs into account to install a furnace that will meet all your needs.
