AC Repair in Damascus, Oregon
Damascus has an unusual history. Voters made it a city in 2004, then voted to disincorporate in 2016, and the Oregon Supreme Court reinstated that vote in 2020. Today it is unincorporated Clackamas County, with homes ranging from new subdivisions to farmhouses on big lots. When your heating or cooling quits out here, call (503) 755-9845.
Rural homes, mixed systems
Older farmhouses around Damascus may heat with oil, propane, a wood stove or electric baseboards, and many have no cooling. Newer homes are more likely to have central air or a heat pump. Contractors here see everything from heat pump conversions to shop and outbuilding mini-splits.
- Old oil furnaces ready to be replaced
- No AC at all in older farmhouses
- Heat pumps on long refrigerant line runs
- Shops and outbuildings with ductless units
Permits after disincorporation
Because Damascus is now unincorporated, Clackamas County issues building permits here, including mechanical permits for a new AC or heat pump. Contractors who work the area know the county process.

- Who issues permits in Damascus now?
- Clackamas County. The county handles all building permits for unincorporated areas, and the contractor usually pulls the mechanical permit.
- Can I replace an oil furnace with a heat pump?
- Yes. A heat pump and air handler can take over the existing ducts. The old oil tank should be pumped out, and Oregon DEQ recommends decommissioning it.
