The Olympia98516 calls we answer most often
If your system is doing any of the following, it is worth a diagnostic before the fault gets more expensive.
Breaker trips every time the system starts
Heat pump stuck blowing cold air in heating mode
No cool air, or air that is barely cooler than the room
One or two rooms that never reach the set temperature
Dead or bulging run capacitor on the condenser
Pilot light or hot surface igniter failing repeatedly
Heating and air conditioning service built around Olympia
Serving Olympia and the wider Thurston County area, our crews carry the common failure parts on the truck — capacitors, contactors, igniters, flame sensors, motors and filters — so the first visit is usually the last one.
Because Washington swings between seasons quickly, a lot of our Olympia calls come in the first hot or cold snap of the year — systems that sat idle for months and then get asked to run flat out.
Peak cooling demand here runs July and August. Booking a tune-up in early spring means you are not competing with the whole neighbourhood for a tech in July.

Olympia98516 HVAC questions, answered
Do you offer maintenance plans?
We do. A two-visit plan in Washington covers a spring cooling inspection and an autumn heating inspection, priority scheduling during peak weeks, discounted repairs and no diagnostic fee. Members rarely end up on the emergency list.
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 Olympia, 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.
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.
Can you give me a price over the phone?
We can give you realistic ranges — and this page lists the ones homeowners in Olympia see most often — but a firm price needs eyes on the equipment. Any company that quotes a final number without seeing the unit is usually quoting low to get through the door.
How often should I change my filter in 98516?
Monthly inspection and replacement every 60 to 90 days is the baseline. Homes in Olympia 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.
