GreenTech Heating and Cooling Team

I started heating and cooling homes in 1993. Most of my career was spent working for a large, high quality company here in town. I was lucky to learn the trades from a boss who placed customers first and always expected quality craftsmanship from his people. A huge advantage given to me was the opportunity to work with several of the best people in Portland's HVAC scene. Watching them run the business and learning the hard lessons early allowed me to hit the ground running when I started GreenTech. I'm grateful for the training and mentoring I received and owe my success to the folks who helped me along the way.

If you are shopping for a contractor as you read this, I want you to know we are a great hire. Everyone at GreenTech and all of our subcontractors are stand up people who do excellent work. When you invest with us, we will take pride in your project and we will have some fun in the process! Thank you for clicking on our site.


This HVAC guru has been my mentor and friend since I started in 1993. With over 20 years "retro fitting" homes under his belt, his experience is priceless. I have seen it since the early days with John and it still amazes me how nothing on a job site seems to phase him. When the going gets tough, he stands back, pours another cup of coffee, rolls up his sleeves and gets to it.

In 15 years I have worked with well over a hundred HVAC technicians. John is one of a very small group of technicians homeowners just love. After every project is complete, I walk the job with our clients and get their feedback. The things they tell me about John speak very loudly as to what kind of person he is. We don't know what he's got but it's clear he's got it. GreenTech and it's clients are lucky to have John on the team.


Because Nate is with us, GreenTech can boast it has one of the few State of Oregon certified heat pump technicians. These days there is a massive amount of heating and cooling companies in the Portland area, yet very few of the local HVAC technicians are certified by the State. All Nathan's training and certifications put him in an exclusive crowd within our trade.

We met 10 years ago when he started heating and cooling homes. Before coming over to work with GreenTech, Nate was the lead technician in one of the most impressive installation departments in Portland. His leadership and adaptability makes him a key player in our success.

Family life, firefighting, racing, remodeling and running projects for us, all combine to make Nathan a very busy guy. It is difficult to put into words how good it feels to have a technician with his skill level on staff. It allows me to pursue very difficult jobs and know that they will be handled properly. Having a person on the team who looks forward to tackling something new and challenging, makes my job easy.


With GreenTech taking on such a wide variety of projects we needed an apprentice who wanted to learn HVAC but also had construction experience. I asked around and was told of a young, hard worker to call on. Leland brings years of experience working in construction, coupled with an eagerness to learn to the table and was hired immediately.

Our apprentice is awesome! Aside from the trades, he enjoys the outdoors, fishing and hunting. When I bug him about being a Bambi killer, he tells me, going into the woods in search of your food is a very "green" and "organic" way to live. Followed by a lecture that if I really wanted to be a "tree hugger", I should get out of the city more! As you can imagine we have some interesting debates here at GreenTech. Leland will be running things around here someday, but for now, all the worst parts of the job seem to fall on his shoulders. He knows he's the apprentice and has to put his time in, so he tackles it with a great attitude. We couldn't do this without him.

Thank you for taking the time to look up GreenTech. We work hard to stand out from the crowd and I'm very proud of the effort our technicians make.

Best,
Scott Akin
