Molalla is where Provision Heating and Cooling is based. The town sits at the edge of the Willamette Valley where the farmland starts climbing into the Cascade foothills, along the Molalla River, and every summer it fills up for the Molalla Buckeroo rodeo.
The heating and cooling work here reflects that mix. In town there are older homes with ductwork added under the floor long after they were built, and newer subdivisions on heat pumps. Out on the rural roads, houses on acreage might heat with a heat pump, an electric furnace, propane or wood, often with ducts running through a crawl space.
Heating & cooling in Molalla
What Molalla homes ask of a system.
Town and country
Homes inside city limits and homes on acreage outside town ask different things of a system. Rural houses are often all-electric or on propane, with longer duct runs and outbuildings to think about.
Crawl-space ductwork
A great many Molalla homes run their ducts through a vented crawl space. Torn insulation, disconnected joints and crushed runs there are among the most common, and least visible, comfort problems.
Foothill weather
Wet winters with the occasional ice storm or east-wind cold snap, then dry summers that now bring real heat waves. A heat pump here has to do both jobs well.
Smoke season
The September 2020 wildfires brought evacuation orders and days of heavy smoke to the Molalla area. Filtration and a well-sealed return side are worth planning for before the next smoky summer.
