I highly recommend Scott Akin of GreenTech Heating and Cooling. He has a strong work ethic, responds quickly to requests, and explains everything related to the work he has done. Fourteen years ago I bought a house with a very old oil furnace. I contacted several furnace companies and chose Scott because he had the lowest price and offered to have the old furnace recycled. Scott did a very professional job installing my new furnace. He has serviced this furnace on a regular basis and it is still in great condition. I'm glad I chose Scott to install and maintain my new furnace. read more

Scott installed our A/C in 2016 and I couldn't be happier with the job that he did. He went out of his way to make sure everything was working and that we were happy with the job, even going beyond the scope of work just to make sure we were set up. He's been a great resource in the years since; always willing to answer any random questions I have. I've recommended him to many people since. 11/10 read more

I cannot recommend GreenTech enough! Scott is a pleasure to work with, offering the absolute best customer service you could ever receive. GreenTech installed our AC this summer, as well as helping us navigate a dying furnace for over a year. Once the furnace kicked the bucket, Scott installed a new one, expertly. And in the most collaborative manner I could imagine. He is very responsive, always willing to help, very honest, and goes above and beyond as a service provider. GreenTech came highly recommended, and now we recommend them highly to anyone who needs heating or cooling work. Go with GreenTech!! read more

I was having issues with my HVAC system and I called Rory and his company, he answered and came to my house right away and fixed my problem and had my symtem up and running within an hour of the initial call, thank you so much for your help, Please give me a call when you can, Carolina read more

We hired Greentech to add AC to our existing furnace and ductwork. They are very quick to respond to emails. Scott and Abe arrived when they said they would, completed the work quickly and cleanly, and now we have an awesome new AC unit. If you do some research into HVAC brands, you'll find Greentech only uses the most reliable equipment. After the install was done, Scott also offered to install a new type of filter on the furnace that is easier to purchase and change myself. If you're lucky, he'll drop a Top Gun quote in your email communications too. read more

We found Greentech through some friends who had worked with them and had a rave review. We were looking to install a new mini-split system in our guesthouse and had already received 3 estimates and hadn't made the right connection. Greentech's pricing was comparable to the other quotes we received, but we immediately knew we felt best about giving them the job. From our initial meeting all the way to our walk-thru, Scott was knowledgable, pleasant to work with, and had our best interest at heart. Their work was impeccable and on-schedule. We have a couple of final loose ends that I'm confident will wrap up nicely. We would undoubtedly hire them again and highly recommend them. read more

I highly recommend GreenTech. In addition to doing quality work and providing a high level of customer service, Scott provides excellent information needed to make a decision about your investment options. He's pragmatic and explains things really well. There's no sales going on - Scott offers multiple options and doesn't play games. The work went exactly as planned. They did the work on schedule with no extra costs. On top of it, they were really tidy. To top it off, Scott and Abe are nice people. If you look through all the reviews you'll notice almost all 5-star ratings. read more

I stumbled upon GreenTech by mistake -- I had mixed up their company name with another one. It was serendipity! After working on the hottest day of the year, Scott came over to give me an estimate. He quickly realized that he no longer held the manpower in his company to do the work required on the top of my condo building. Even after knowing that there would be no way to do business with me, he still spent an hour of his time to educate me, give me advice and insiders information on how to get the work done properly -- all out of the goodness of his heart. And he also offered to give me further advice by email after I received estimates from other companies. I get the sense that this guy is honest, knows his stuff and focuses on quality work. I would have hired him in a heartbeat. read more

We cannot praise this business enough. We needed to have a new gas furnace installed, gas stove installed, and a new gas line. These guys were the best bid and awesome service. They're also eco-leaning and were able to give us a bunch of rad eco options - we settled on high efficiency gas, but they do heat pumps, hybrid, biofuel, and air filtration systems (according to their business card). read more

Scott provided excellent customer service. I would highly recommend to all. Scott and his team worked efficiently and installed to my 100% satisfaction. Left the house clean. Made the outside look nice. My #1 reason for this recommendation is because of Scott's great communication, friendly personality, and prompt response. Yes, there was a minor hiccup with the A/C unit a few weeks after install. But Scott called me back within the hour, came over later that night to inspect, and replaced the defective part the next day (making time in between his larger, previously scheduled jobs). He genuinely cared about his work, his product, and me, the customer. read more

Scott is exceptional at customer service. Although we decided to go with someone else BEFORE he had a chance to come by to give us a bid (we needed an ac unit stat!), he was extremely gracious and helpful through our contact. I can't speak to the actual work he does, but if he is as professional in person as he is through email I can't think of someone else I'd turn to for future work on my furnace or AC. Thanks Scott! read more

If I could do it again, I would definitely pick Greentech. Scott is extremely proficient, friendly, and professional. He is very good at what he does, and we feel quite lucky that we stumbled upon him to add AC to our home. He came up with a very elegant solution to our setup and put a great deal of thought into solving our problems. He even fixed some other problems with our heating system (installed by prior owners) along the way. read more

Green tech installed a 98% furnace for me with the nest thermostat and it is a great system. They were friendly and easy to work with. I didn't feel like there was any high pressure sales. The Nest thermostat is pretty cool too. read more

GreenTech Heating & Cooling - This is a cool and easy to use thermostat. I like the phone app too. Great product. - Heating & Air Conditioning/HVAC Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Greentech did a fantastic job replacing our furnace. Scott was a great communicator and everything went smoothly with installation. I'd definitely use them for future cooling or heating projects! read more

Scott and his team are easy to work with and knowledgable. They've done excellent work with minimal disruption. I'm a repeat customer ... a heat pump for our attic first, and a new furnace and central a/c this year. The difference in the house is outstanding, and Scott's been great about tuning the system to get the most benefit. Just get on his list early ... he books up! read more

GreenTech installed a Daikin Ductless Heating/Cooking system at my house. We love the gentle cooling it's providing during the crazy Portland heat waves. The installation looks clean and secure. Also Scott Akin, the owner, is really fun to work with as are all members of his crew. I've been sending my friends to GreenTech ever since. read more

A few months after the installation of my ductless heating system, and I'm still gobsmacked at how easy it was. It was almost -- I can't believe I'm going to say this -- *fun*. After freezing our butts off this winter and paying $400+/month for the pleasure, I emailed Scott for an energy audit. We were snowed out twice, but his communication was always timely and accurate. He did a thorough assessment of the place, gave me some options and his recommendation. We ended up arranging for two ductless heating units. Installation went smoothly and if anything, took less time than Scott estimated. Scott is a perfectionist with an eye for clean lines and creative thinking -- I'm a graphic designer and I could find no aesthetic fault in anything he did! The units themselves have utterly transformed the way we live inside our house. I used to heat one room and stay in it all day. There were arguments about who forgot to turn down the heat in the TV room at night. Now we "set it and forget it." I move about the house freely, sometimes even without socks. REVELATORY. Plus, our bills have dropped dramatically -- at least by half, and possibly by 2/3rds. (I need more data.) Seriously, it's a lot of money but even after just a few months, I already think every dollar was well spent. I still email Scott with questions and will get an answer within minutes or hours. Usually they make me laugh. (When has a contractor made me laugh before? Pretty much never.) The whole process was an absolute joy, from start to finish, and I've already been recommending Greentech and Scott to all my friends. I just wish he also repaired decks. It's 2017, where is my cloning machine?? read more

GreenTech Heating & Cooling - How we integrated the larger unit into our library. (For the record, those are standard IKEA Billy bookcases.) - Heating & Air Conditioning/HVAC Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I originally planned to install an AC/heat pump at my house. After talking to multiple contractors, I decided to upgrade the whole AC/furnace system as the old furnace is 17 years old. Including GreenTech, I talked to 8 contractors before making the decision to go with GreenTech. Other companies I talked to are Specialty, Sky, Oregon, FirstCall, TriCounty, Rosecity, A-Action. I learned so much on heating and cooling from talking to all these people, which allowed me to make the right decision. Things I considered are professionalism, knowledge of the contractor, cost of the system, brand and type of the system. I have to say most of these contractors are very knowledgeable. But bids came in with $4000 cost difference from the lowest to the highest bid on the same tier of AC (13SEER non-builder grade) and furnace(95%,2-stage,variable fan). GreenTech, by far is the most price competitive one. Cost is one important factor, but I want the job to be done right too. Scott from GreenTech is great to work with. He really focuses on how to heat and cool your house efficiently, as well as cleaning the air through the media air filter. He is very straight forward and patient. He didn't try to talk me into any more expensive system or add-ins. Instead, he recommended exactly what I needed based on our long email conversations, and priced they system competitively. He also backs the products that he installs. Installation was smooth and nicely done. I am very happy with the system so far. It's much quieter than my old one and it does warm up the house. The Nest thermostat is cool. I can change the temperature in my bed and let the house warm up before I get up. To be fair, I need more time to use the system before I make further comment on the performance of the system. But as for HVAC contractor, I highly recommend GreenTech. You really can't go wrong with them. On a side note, I did an intensive research on AC/Furnace system, and finally decided on Trane or American Standard. Majority of the forums and reviews pointed out that Trane or AS has the least problem down the road. Don't let contractors fool you by telling you all brands are the same internally. They are not. But do note that Trane and American Standard are built by the same manufacturer. That one is true. You can find equivalent models between Trane and AS. The main difference is that Trane has heavy marketing. So by default, the company has to pass their marketing cost to the consumers, and that's why Trane system is usually more expensive, comparing to AS. read more

Two years ago I had a free energy review of my home that included huge discounts if I used the suggested contractors. The only thing my house really needed was an updated heating system. My house was built in the sixties and apparently energy was free so I have ridiculously slow and expensive ceiling heat. After getting a huge quote (even after discounts) from the suggested company I of course wanted to shop around. Several quotes later I found Scott. It was immediately clear that Scott was a leader in his field and quickly educated me about ductless systems. Scott informed me why my first bid was twice as much and $3000 more than actually putting in a whole ducted system. They wanted to install units that would heat and cool a place over twice as big as mine. One other bid was in line with Scott's but had units half the size of what was needed which meant they would be working near 100% capacity all the time making them way more expensive to run. Since Scott is so good at what he does he was of course booked out further than I wanted to wait at the time but quality work is worth the wait. Scott had a cancellation shortly after scheduling and I got my new ductless system installed in one day which proved to be the first hottest day of the year. The fact that these units cool as well was greatly underestimated by me. After two years with these units I am still extremely happy with my decision to go with Green Tech. The units are as quiet and efficient as when first installed. Scott was informative, polite, professional, and did great work in a timely manner. He has a good sense of humor as well. Also my wife wanted to know if the remote controls for the units were waterproof. They are not, and Scott was just as helpful years later in getting us a replacement remote. read more

I was trying TWICE to get a technician from this company to service my AC. First time I called it took them 2 days to call me back and leave a message that they have so much installation work that they do not want to deal with service. Well, I hope after this review they will not have as much work any more. I called them next day to remind of myself. Someone called me back at the end of that day and gave me an appointment a month away. It so happened that day I was out of town and I noted that. He said that he would call me back with a new appointment date. Guess what, nobody called me back. I decided to give it a month and start over. I called them in a month asked for servicemen to come over to do maintenance of my AC. Lady on the phone said that someone will call me back. It has been 2 weeks and I am still waiting... I think that zero stars is what they deserved from me. I give them 1 star just because they did not mess anything up. Only wasted my time. At this point I would not even want to deal with them anymore. I am sure there is someone else who would want to do the job. read more

I've been researching heat pumps for a year now, trying to find the best replacement for the noisy inefficient "toasters" I've been "heating" with (and hating) for the past 6 years. Scott from Green Tech was one of 4 contractors I talked to. He was by far the most informative. He explained why he is a fan of Daikin heat pumps, and sent me a long list of folks he'd worked for. They all raved. He showed up promptly on the morning of the day we had scheduled for install (how often does THAT happen?!) and scheduled his dry wall guy to repair the ceiling and "toaster" removal the next day. He did a beautiful job, too. I have been living in guilt-free, climate controlled comfort ever since...and the heat pump provides AC in the summer, too. Greentech rocks my saucy world!! read more

Scott ended up coming back to install a ductless mini-split for us. His work is immaculate, and his communication is exceptional. I honestly wish there was an opportunity to give more than 5 stars. I'll be recommending Greentech to everyone I know. read more

Scott just did my furnace in June and I have absolutely no complaints. He was professional and competent and his bid was fair without a lot of b/s that you get from a lot of other companies (I had at least 5 bids). Plus he is a small business owner and that gets points with me. read more

Scott was friendly, professional and reliable from the time I requested a quote through the installation. He explained our options for a/c installation, and spent time afterwards showing us how to set up the thermostat for the most optimum use. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a good HVAC contractor. read more

Can't give a ZERO so 1 star is the lowest I can give. Called them twice and seems that they have way too many leads/busines in their hands to at least dignify us with an email or quick phone call back - after all I only want to give you 5k worth of business. Folks, look somewhere else - the bad costumer service practices makes me believe that the lack of professionalism does not stop here read more

This review is for excellent communication from Scott! I am deeply impressed with how fast he responded to my request and how much information he shared. Thank you! read more

I called GreenTech in the morning saying my furnace wasn't working. The employee confirmed my contact information and said a technician would call me. No one ever called me back. read more

I was remodeling a large home into a bed & breakfast and wanted zonal controls for the heating and cooling in the bedrooms and office. In addition we needed to replace the monster oil furnace in the basement with a new gas one for the common rooms. Scott came by and talked to me about the heat pump systems, something I was unfamiliar with. He is thoroughly knowledgeable and only promotes quality products, and during the remodel Greentech worked extremely well with the other contractors as there was a lot of overlap on work areas. He and his support crew were a pleasure to work with and the quality is A+. The new heat/ac zonal units and furnace keep the house just as needed and I highly recommend Greentech. read more

Scott was friendly, on time and reliable. He answered all my questions very patiently and was very honest with me about my project. Although I chose a different company I will not hesitate to recommend these guys. Professional and honest! read more

Scott with green tech is wonderful. Our thermostat stopped working out of the blue so we called Green Tech on recommendations from friends. Scott was very responsive, and able to diagnose and fix the problem the same day. He was extremely professional, and had our heater working in no time. Highly recommend! read more

Can't say enough about Scott and Greentech. We got 4 different bids, and Scott was the only of the 4 to think outside of the box for what would work best for our house. We ended up getting s combo central/ductless system, whereas other contractors tried to insist we put a ductless system in our front room. The result is we have the benefits of central in the main house and only ductless in our master bedroom, and it's worked out perfectly. Install was done on time, clean up was immaculate, and Scott gave us a thorough walk through to makes sure we understood the one and outs of the system. Highly recommend greentech for any residential hvac work! Daniel read more

We had two energy audits completed for a small bungalow in the Sellwood area to upgrade from an almost non-existent HVAC system. The audits were professionally done and made some solid recommendations for new installations. We contacted Scott as one of several contractors able to install a ductless heat pump system, which was the top recommendation of the audits. Scott carefully analyzed our needs and came up with a couple of alternatives that improved on the recommendations of the comprehensive energy audits. Throughout the entire process I felt that Scott had our best interests in mind and truly wanted to install a system that would save us money, be comfortable and that we would remain happy with. He accomplished all three. Very fast, high quality, professional installation, great product and a very competitive price. I highly recommend Green Tech. As a bonus, Scott is one of the most environmentally conscious vendors I have met. He wants to do not only what is best for the customer, but what's best for the environment too. read more

When our twelve year old Carrier furnace was failing, we turned to Scott Akin at GreenTech, and are very glad that we did. He carefully discussed our options, his staff and he were very efficient in doing the work, and they explained how the new system works, what it would require of me, and also the basics in working with the new Nest thermostat. It was a pleasure working with him, and our house now not only has a better and less temperamental furnace, but it also is warmer and more comfortable. I highly recommend GreenTech. read more

Aaaaand my CPA pointed at his paperwork and what it did to my returns and said, "This guy did REALLY good things for you." Go Scott! Still loving my furnace, and looking forward to a cool, energy-efficient summer. read more

Unfortunately, I am outside of Scotts service area. Even then he took a lot of time to help guide me through my decision on ductless vs for-air gas with nothing in return. If I could, I would go with Scott solely based on his incredible knowledge and service. I'd feel confident to refer him to others. read more

GreenTech just installed a ductless heating/cooling system in our home (two heads, one upstairs, one down--a fairly complicated installation, from what we could gather from other company's reactions). Their work was impeccable, from the installation to their overall cleanliness of the job. The price seemed very fair, and the advice Scott gave us before signing a contract was sound, honest and very un-pushy (he taught us so much more than any other company, and this all before we had signed). He predicted problems in the installation before they could ever occur to us, and always came up with smart, effective solutions. After the installation was done (completed in an efficient 1.5 days), Scott spent an hour with us teaching us about the system and giving us advice about how to use it most efficiently. And he's just great to deal with on a personal level. Everything about the process was ideal. read more

So, I called GreenTech to get a quote for a new furnace when mine broke due to water damage. I was in an urgent situation, no heat for a while and other companies were quoting me ~2weeks to get to the install. It's essentially a one-man operation, and I was quite pleased that he took the time to talk with me on the phone, answer questions, and was very upfront that due to the busy time of year and complexity of my job that he wouldn't be able to help. But he did provide a lot of very helpful guidance in navigating the local HVAC scene. He seemed knowledgeable and I was grateful he took the time and courtesy to not only return my call, but to make it worth the time for me as well. The company he suggested I try was able to fit me in, beating the time frame estimates that he and other companies had. Thank you for being a good resource! read more

Scott and Abe installed two ductless split systems for us. I was really pleased with their professionalism and the quality of their work. I would highly recommend them! read more

Scott and his team did a fantastic job with my A/C installation. I received many estimates and his was by far the most thoughtful. With a split level structure he took into consideration so many variables and determined the best system for our home that others did not consider. He was quick, clean, and very professional. He does the work himself, and it shows that he takes pride in it. read more

Scott replaced the furnace in my rental. He did excellent work at a fair price, and is a nice guy to boot. I would highly recommend Green Tech. read more
