Salem Homes Have Specific Needs

Furnaces from the ’80s. Heat pumps in homes built last year. Ductwork nobody’s touched in decades. We’ve seen it all in Salem, and we know how to work with what’s there.

A lot of Salem’s housing stock was built between 1950 and 1990 — forced-air gas systems, original ductwork, equipment that’s well past its design life but still running.

South Salem has newer construction pushing heat pump installs. West Salem runs older, with homes that weren’t designed with cooling in mind. Manufactured homes across the area have their own requirements: specific equipment sizing, duct configurations, and installation standards that not every contractor knows.

Salem Summers Aren't What They Used to Be

Salem summers have changed too. The city has hit triple digits more than once in recent years. Neighborhoods that never needed AC now do, and homeowners are making that call mid-summer when their system is already struggling. We’re ready for that call. Thirty minutes from Stayton, and we come prepared.

Where We Work in Salem

Heating and cooling services across Oregon’s capital.

South Salem (97302 · 97306)

The Kuebler corridor and the neighborhoods south of Commercial Street are some of our busiest territory: Candalaria, Fairmount Hill, Sunnyslope, Liberty. Mix of 1970s ranches with aging furnaces and newer subdivisions pushing heat pump installs. This is an active area for both service calls and full replacements.

West Salem (97304)

Across the bridge and up into the hills. Older homes that weren’t built with cooling in mind. A lot of our ductless mini-split work happens here, including Brush College & Eola Hills. If your house has never had AC and you want to change that, this is exactly the kind of job we do.

Northeast Salem & Lancaster (97301)

Mid-century construction, Lancaster Drive corridor, neighborhoods near the Capitol. Furnaces that have run for decades, original ductwork, equipment that’s overdue for an upgrade.

North Salem & Keizer (97303)

We cover Keizer too. Mix of older housing, manufactured homes, and everything in between. Same-day response from Stayton.

Common Questions About Salem Services

How quickly can you get to Salem?
We’re based in Stayton, about 30 minutes from most of Salem. No-heat and no-cool calls get routed as priority. You’re not waiting behind a full schedule of tune-ups. Same-day service is our standard when we have availability. If you’re calling mid-summer with a failed AC or mid-winter with no heat, call us directly at 503.769.8483 and tell us what’s going on.
Do you service all of Salem?
Yes. We service all of Salem, including South Salem, West Salem, Northeast Salem, and the Keizer area. We cover every zip code in the city: 97301, 97302, 97303, 97304, and 97306. If you’re not sure whether your address falls within our service area, call us. In most cases, the answer is yes.
Are you available for emergency calls?
Yes. Call 503.769.8483. No-heat and no-cool calls are prioritized year-round. A failed furnace in January and a failed AC in July both go to the front of the line. We do not offer 24/7 or weekend service at this time. Holidays are subject to special business hours.
Do you install and service heat pumps in Salem?
Yes. Heat pump work is a significant part of what we do in Salem. We install standard heat pumps, cold-climate extended-capacity systems, and ductless mini-splits. If you’re replacing an aging gas furnace or adding cooling to a home that’s never had it, we’ll help you figure out which system makes sense for your house and your budget before you commit to anything.
Do you work on all HVAC brands?
All of them. Coleman, Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, Daikin, Mitsubishi, and more. Salem homes run every brand imaginable and we don’t turn away work because the equipment isn’t on a preferred list. If you’re not sure whether we service your unit, call us and tell us what you have.
How do I schedule service?
Call 503.769.8483, message us online, or fill out our Schedule Service form. We’ll get back to you as quickly as we can.
Do you handle commercial HVAC in Salem?
Yes. We do commercial heating, cooling, and ventilation for Salem businesses, property managers, and building owners including maintenance contracts, equipment replacement, tenant improvement work, and new construction. We also run an in-house sheet metal shop, so custom ductwork and commercial build-outs don’t get outsourced. If you manage a commercial property in Salem and need a reliable service partner, we can help.
Do you offer financing for HVAC in Salem?
Yes. We offer a variety of financing options depending on your needs for qualifying new system installations. Energy Trust of Oregon rebates may also be available depending on your utility provider and the equipment installed. We’ll walk you through what applies when you get a quote. No pressure, just good neighborly service.
Are you licensed to do HVAC work in Salem?
Yes. Santiam Heating & Sheet Metal holds Oregon CCB license
