Older Albany bungalows. Willamette Valley farmhouses with attics that bake in July. Corvallis homes the central system never quite reaches. Mid-Willamette homes have specific comfort problems, and Tru72 starts every service call with real measurements taken by certified technicians, so the recommendation matches your actual home. Three generations of craftsmen, still working from the original 1972 Larsell shop at 815-A SE 1st Ave E.
Most HVAC contractors arrive, look at your system, and quote what they think is wrong. That's faster. It's also how Albany homeowners end up paying for a $2,500 compressor replacement when the actual problem was a $50 capacitor.
Tru72 technicians run instrumented diagnostics on every call. Refrigerant pressures. Capacitor microfarads. Airflow static pressure. Temperature differential across the coil. We measure what the system is actually doing, identify the actual failing component, and walk you through what we found. You see the data. You see the cost. You see the options. Then you decide.
A capacitor that measures 12 µF when the manufacturer spec is 35 µF is the failure, not a symptom. We catch the part that's actually broken instead of defaulting to the expensive, common guess.
We size your new heat pump or furnace by Manual J load calculation against your actual Willamette Valley home: square footage, insulation, infiltration, climate zone. The right size system runs efficiently for 15+ years.
Wet winters, dry summers, wildfire smoke season. We measure your home's humidity, particulates, and allergen levels room by room before recommending equipment.

Call (541) 926-2321The Tru72 technician at your Lebanon door or your Corvallis driveway is dispatched from the original Larsell shop at 815-A SE 1st Ave E in Albany, where the company has operated continuously since April of 1972.

The trucks are newer. The instruments are better. The shop, the family discipline, and the way the work gets done are exactly where they started.

Read Kim's full bio →They actually measured everything before quoting the repair. Turned out my "broken compressor" was a $50 capacitor. Saved me $2,400 and a sleepless August.
Did the Manual J on our home, told us our old system was oversized by half, and put in the right size heat pump. Power bills dropped immediately. Trade Ally rebate was filed at install.
My family has used Larsell for thirty years. Tru72 is the same people, same standards, same shop on 1st Avenue. Glad nothing important changed.
