Our Story: A Commitment to Quality HVAC in the Pacific Northwest
Direct Mechanical Contractors was founded by the Pavlov Brothers in 2009 with a clear and focused vision: to create a customer-centric HVAC company that property owners, facility managers, and homeowners could rely on without reservation. The journey began with a single service van, a wealth of technical knowledge, and an uncompromising passion for solving complex mechanical challenges. Through hard work, dedication, and a reputation built on successful outcomes, our company has steadily grown into a leading licensed HVAC provider serving Vancouver, WA, the greater Portland metro area, and communities from the Oregon Coast to Cascade Locks.
This growth is a direct result of our unwavering commitment to quality craftsmanship and transparent, honest communication. We believe that an informed client is a happy client. From the initial diagnosis to the final system commissioning, we ensure you understand the work being done and the value it provides. As proud members of the Association of Builders and Contractors (ABC), we adhere to the highest industry standards and actively contribute to the professional trade community. Our roots are firmly planted here, and we reinforce our dedication to the communities we serve by actively supporting local charities and initiatives.

What HVAC brands do you recommend and install?
We are proud to be a preferred dealer for Mitsubishi and American Standard, as we believe in providing our customers with high-quality, durable, and efficient systems that will serve them well for many years. We also sell and install a wide variety of other top brands to meet any specific need or budget.
Can you service a brand you didn't install?
Absolutely. Our technicians have extensive, hands-on experience with nearly every manufacturer in the industry. We are fully equipped to service and repair all brands of HVAC equipment, including Trane, Lennox, Carrier, Daikin, Goodman, Rheem, York, and many more.
What is your warranty on new installations?
We provide a comprehensive 1-year labor warranty on all new installations, covering our workmanship. This is provided in addition to the manufacturer’s factory warranty on parts, which typically ranges from 5 to 10 years.
Is it better to repair or replace my HVAC system?
This decision depends on the age, condition, and energy efficiency of your current system, as well as the cost of the repair. While a replacement can have a higher upfront cost, it often leads to significant long-term savings on energy bills and eliminates the cost and hassle of future repairs, making it a wise investment for older, inefficient units.
