Salem housing and HVAC
Many older homes heat with gas furnaces or electric baseboard and have no central AC. Heat pumps, both ducted and ductless, are increasingly common, and newer homes often come with heat pumps installed.
Salem has mild, wet winters and warm, dry summers. Heat waves and wildfire smoke have become more frequent in recent summers, and ice storms occasionally hit in winter.
Permits and seasonal timing in Salem
The City of Salem Permit Application Center issues mechanical permits, and Oregon licenses HVAC contractors through the Construction Contractors Board. Energy Trust of Oregon offers incentives for qualifying heat pumps.
Heat waves without AC
Older homes without cooling become dangerous during heat domes, so heat pumps are a common upgrade.
Wildfire smoke
Smoke from fires in the Cascades and Coast Range makes high-efficiency filtration, sealed returns and air cleaning important.
Damp winters
Wet winters can lead to condensation and mold without good ventilation.
