Heating and air conditioning service built around Port Townsend

Because Washington swings between seasons quickly, a lot of our Port Townsend 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.
The busiest week of our year in Port Townsend is the first stretch of sustained july weather. Systems that idled all season fail in clusters.

Port Townsend98368 HVAC questions, answered
What does a new system cost in Port Townsend?
A complete residential replacement in the 98368 area generally lands between $6,000 and $13,000 installed, depending on capacity, efficiency rating and how much ductwork has to be modified. We always perform a Manual J load calculation first, because an oversized unit costs more to buy and runs worse than a correctly sized one.
Why is my system short cycling?
Short cycling in Port Townsend 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.
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.
Are your technicians licensed and insured?
Every technician dispatched into Port Townsend is licensed, insured and background-checked. We can provide proof of insurance on request before the visit if you would like it on file.
How much does an HVAC service call cost in 98368?
A diagnostic visit in Port Townsend typically runs $75 to $150, and that fee is usually applied toward the repair if you approve the work. Repair prices are quoted as a flat rate before we start, so the number you approve is the number you pay regardless of how long the job takes.
How often should I change my filter in 98368?
Monthly inspection and replacement every 60 to 90 days is the baseline. Homes in Port Townsend 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.
