After years of improving comfort in the homes of our friends, family, and neighbors, we’ve learned two things:
Portland’s homes are beautiful, and they are inefficient.
At Resilient Retrofits, we offer a full suite of retrofit services designed specifically for Portland’s homes and climate conditions. Whether you’re looking to improve comfort, lower utility bills, or reduce your reliance on fossil fuels, we’re here to help, every step of the way.
Insulation and Air Sealing
Older Portland homes weren’t built with energy efficiency in mind. Many have little to no insulation in walls or floors, under-insulated attics, and countless air leaks that allow heated or cooled air to escape. That’s where we come in.
We use diagnostic tools like blower door tests and infrared imaging to pinpoint where your home is losing energy. Then we seal leaks, insulate key areas, and ensure your home holds onto the energy you pay for. The result? Fewer drafts, lower bills, and a quieter, more comfortable home year-round.
Heat Pump Installation
Heat pumps are Portland’s go-to solution for year-round comfort. These all-electric systems provide both heating and cooling in one efficient package, and they’re ideal for our climate.
Whether you’re replacing baseboard heaters, upgrading from a gas furnace, or adding AC for the first time, we install heat pumps that deliver quiet, consistent, and efficient performance. Our ducted and ductless options let us customize the right solution for your home layout and lifestyle.
Water Heater Replacement
Water heaters are easy to forget until they fail. Older gas or electric tanks are often inefficient, noisy, or unreliable. The heat pump water heaters we install offer a high-efficiency, all-electric alternative that cuts water heating energy use by up to 70% compared to traditional models.
We help you select the right system for your home’s size, layout, and usage needs, and we install it cleanly and efficiently. This upgrade is also a great first step in your electrification journey.
Home Electrification Planning
Electrification means replacing fossil fuel systems, like gas furnaces, water heaters, and stoves, with clean, efficient electric alternatives. But making that transition takes planning.
We provide electrification roadmaps that align with your goals, budget, and home layout. Whether you’re ready to make the switch now or want to phase upgrades over time, we’ll guide you through panel sizing, appliance selection, and incentive optimization. It’s about building a cleaner, more resilient home at your pace.
Energy Assessments and Diagnostics
Smart upgrades start with better data. Our energy assessments include blower door testing, duct leakage testing, insulation analysis, and electrical load reviews.
These diagnostics help us prioritize the most impactful upgrades and ensure that every system we install, whether it’s a heat pump or water heater, is right-sized and optimized for your space. Assessments also help you qualify for the full range of available incentives.
