All reviews for Bull Mountain Heating & Cooling

Bull mountain came to the rescue yet again! Our heat was out and they got it working again the same day. They are always on time, professional, and honest. We have been a bull mountain customer for years!

Had someone out last summer and he told us we needed a whole new HVAC and it would cost thousands. Anthony came out and was super friendly and helpful. He made a quick fix and it’s working! So thankful for honest repair companies.

It was easy to schedule a service call with Bull Mountain and the technician, Cole G., was great. He quickly diagnosed the problem and checked out the system to make it was in good working order. The charge for the service was very reasonable.

I don't normally post reviews, but felt compelled to because I was so impressed with Bull Mountain Heating & Cooling. They were able to accomodate me with an earlier appointment and fixed some duct work in our crawl space that had been damaged during big water leak. Cole was fantastic. Efficient, professional, friendly, and honest; communicated what he was doing, and provided me with photos of the damage and the repair. I will use Bull Mountain again for my annual tune-ups and any other HVAC needs. Highly recommend!

Patrick was thorough and easy to talk with about our furnace maintenance and any future issues to watch for.

The central AC until to my house went out. A few friends referred me to Bull Mountain Heating and Cooling.

I gave them a call and Brock came out two days later. I was worried that the fix was going to be in the thousands. Brock figured out that the capacitor had went out. He replaced it for around $320.

There are companies that would try to up-sell you on what you don't need to make more money. Bull Mountain did not do that. Thank you guys for your honest work and thank you Brock for the job you did. Much appreciated. -Nate

I had Bull Mountain Heating service my AC, and Nolan was the technician who came out. He was prompt, professional, and knowledgeable. Nolan thoroughly explained everything he was doing and provided great maintenance tips. My AC is now running perfectly! Highly recommend Bull Mountain Heating and Nolan for any HVAC needs!

We've been using them as our HVAC service since 2014. They do a good job and sometimes have to solve tricky problems with our Navien system.

Bull Mountain did a great job servicing our mini-splits! They cleaned out all the disgusting gunk that accumulates and now they’re working better than ever.

Bull Mountain is great! They installed our tankless water heater a few years ago, and then took over regular service & maintenance for our furnace and heat pump. We are on the monthly payment plan and they send someone out every six months, always prompt and friendly, easy to work with.

Rico did a great job! Perfect diagnostic and service for our AC. Saved us a ton of money. Love that this company repairs existing systems over trying to sell you a new one. Will use them again in the future

Bill Mountain was quick to respond! My AC stopped working and we needed it fixed ASAP. Nolan came out within 2 days, found out what was wrong and gave me 2 options of DIY for cheaper or full service. I appreciated that he gave me that option as it showed true service and transparency and not just upselling trying to make more money. He showed me how to fix it and because of his honesty and transparency we will be adding the monthly maintenance! Highly recommend this trustworthy and honest company.

The person who came out was so conscientious and professional, knowledgeable and efficient. So happy to have works with this company.

I highly recommend Bull Mountain Heating and Cooling to service all your HVAC needs. Eddie was early to the appointment and very professional. He troubleshoot the issues and came to a conclusion that a contactor was defective. He replaced it and it's cooling again! 😎

Matthew was excellent. Very professional, friendly, explained everything very well. Keep him around.

Brock was very responsive in addressing our problem. He diagnosed and corrected the problem within 30 minutes. It was a relief to have heat back.

We easily made our repair appointment online and Bull Mountain did their best to keep the appointment during a busy season. A quick fix and we were back in action.

Rico was amazing through the whole process of replacing our AC and installing a thermostat! Bull Mountain has earned our trust and loyalty!

Bull Mountain installed an AC unit at our house yesterday. Everything was smooth from start to finish. I know Brian and he’s one of the nice guys you’ll ever meet. They scheduled the work 3 weeks later (yesterday). The guys working here were respectful and worked quietly. I’m very happy with everything and I will refer Bull Mountain to my family and friends.

Outstanding work on a very high-end residential install.

I am a principal engineer. My interview process was extensive and I know enough about this field to differentiate the great from the good and bad contractors. I specified a lot of high-end and some special-order parts (coated coils) that most contractors are not using on residential jobs and Bull Mountain installed them with skill and pride. While I have top-of-the-line parts, I firmly believe the installation quality is 90% of the job. Without getting into too much detail: I have very high standards of work and Bull Mountain exceeded my expectations. My standards of work apply to the ducting hanging and installation techniques, duct mastic sealing techniques, gas line installation and routing, duct insulation install and tape, the lineset install, the condensate lineset, slope, and temp. management, the wiring, the venting, control systems install and positioning, register engineering and install technique, equipment support and equipment maintenance capability. I worked with Brian on the engineering of the manual-D and manual-J - his software (Elite) is as good as the best available packages that I have used (cool-calc, etc). Many contractors will run away from a job like this, Brian and team embraced it…I’m quite confident that Bull Mountain is the top HVAC contractor in the Portland/PDX area based on my extensive research and interview process. Companies like Bull Mountain deserve to be commended for the pride they take in their work and the quality of the end result. Bottom line: if you want the best, hire Bull Mountain.

It is critically important that you have your system properly engineered with manual-D/J/S and receive an AHRI cert.
