Heating and air conditioning service built around Graham
If your heat pumps and ductless mini-splits has started short cycling, blowing warm air or making a noise it never used to make, you are not alone — Graham generates some of the highest call volume we handle in Washington. Mild wet winters and increasingly hot dry summers, with heat pumps and ductless systems leading new installs.
Local homeowners often run their system harder than the design intended, especially during July and August. That accelerates wear on contactors, capacitors and blower bearings.
Because Washington runs heat pumps and ductless mini-splits, the transition between seasons is when we see the most emergency calls — equipment that sat unused for months.

Graham98338 HVAC questions, answered
How often should I change my filter in 98338?
Monthly inspection and replacement every 60 to 90 days is the baseline. Homes in Graham with pets, ongoing construction nearby, or a high-MERV filter in an undersized return should move to monthly changes. A loaded filter is the single most common cause of frozen coils and failed blower motors.
What causes water to leak from the indoor unit?
Almost always a blocked condensate drain line, a failed drain pan float switch, or a frozen coil melting faster than the pan can handle. In Graham we see algae and dust clogging drain lines constantly during July and August. It is a fast fix but ignoring it ends in ceiling damage.
Why is my system short cycling?
Short cycling in Graham most often comes from a restricted airflow path — a loaded filter, a closed register, an undersized return — or from an oversized unit. It can also be a failing flame sensor or a pressure switch fault. We measure static pressure and temperature rise before concluding anything, because guessing at this one is expensive.
Is my system low on refrigerant, or is it leaking?
Refrigerant does not get "used up" the way fuel does. If your charge is low, there is a leak somewhere — usually at a flare connection, a schrader core or the evaporator coil. We locate and repair the leak rather than simply topping up the charge, because a top-up alone will fail again.
Is my carbon monoxide risk something I should worry about?
With any combustion appliance, yes. A cracked heat exchanger can spill carbon monoxide into the living space, and it is odourless. We perform combustion analysis and a CO test on every furnace and boiler call in Graham, and we recommend a working CO alarm on every level of the home regardless of who services your equipment.
Do you charge extra for nights, weekends or holidays?
No. Our pricing in Washington is the same at 2am on a holiday as it is at 2pm on a Tuesday. Emergency calls are dispatched the same way as scheduled calls and carry no overtime premium.
