AC out, blowing warm, or iced over
Outdoor unit silent · indoor blower running but warm air · ice on the refrigerant lines · short-cycling on/off. Possible causes range from electrical parts (capacitor, contactor) to a refrigerant problem — both need a technician to diagnose.
Furnace not igniting or blowing cold
Furnace won't ignite · blowing cold air · short-cycling · burning smell on first startup. If you smell gas, leave the building right away without flipping switches or using phones inside, then call 911 or your gas utility’s emergency line from outside.
Banging, screaming, or grinding outdoor unit
Loud bangs · metal-on-metal screaming · grinding or rattling from the outdoor unit. Possible causes include a failing fan motor, a loose blower wheel, or worn compressor bearings. Turn the system off at the thermostat and call a technician.

HVAC in Eugene, OR: local data & sources
Every numerical claim below references a federal, state, or municipal primary source — NOAA climate normals, U.S. Census ACS, the Oregon licensing authority, and your local utility's published rebate program.
NOAA NCEI 1991–2020 Normals
Mahlon Sweet Field (KEUG) is the official NOAA reference station for Eugene. Per the NOAA NCEI U.S. Climate Normals 1991–2020 (station USW00024221), Eugene records an annual mean temperature of 53.1°F, an average annual maximum of 64.3°F against an annual minimum of 41.9°F, approximately 4,615.8 annual heating degree days against only 292.8 cooling degree days, and an annual precipitation normal of 40.83 inches. The roughly 15.8:1 HDD-to-CDD ratio is strongly heating-dominant — Eugene’s Willamette Valley marine climate (Zone 4C) produces mild but extended heating seasons and very little summer cooling demand. This means HVAC investment should be weighted overwhelmingly toward heating efficiency.
U.S. Census ACS 2023 5-Year
The U.S. Census Bureau ACS 2023 5-year estimates (Tables B25040 House Heating Fuel and B25035 Median Year Structure Built for Eugene city, Oregon) report 76,140 occupied housing units with a median year built of 1979. Heating-fuel distribution: 74.8% electricity (56,998 units), 22.2% utility natural gas (16,941 units), and 1.1% wood (851 units). Eugene’s exceptionally high electric heating share — nearly three-quarters of homes — reflects the Pacific Northwest’s historically affordable hydroelectric power and EWEB’s municipal rates. This makes Eugene prime heat-pump territory: converting electric resistance heat to heat-pump heat needs no fuel switching.
Oregon Licensing Authority
Oregon requires HVAC contractors to hold an HVAC Specialty Contractor license issued by the Oregon Construction Contractors Board (CCB). The CCB administers licensing for all construction-related trades statewide. Verify a specific contractor’s current CCB license status before contracting. Permit-pulling responsibility typically rests with the licensed installing contractor. Primary source: Oregon Construction Contractors Board (CCB).
