The Seattle98101 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.
Musty or burnt smell the first time the system runs
Water pooling around the indoor unit or ceiling stains
Skyrocketing utility bills with no change in usage
Thermostat reading several degrees off from reality
No cool air, or air that is barely cooler than the room
Refrigerant leak at a flare or coil connection
Heating and air conditioning service built around Seattle
Whether the complaint is weak airflow upstairs, a furnace that will not stay lit, or an outdoor unit that hums but never starts, the process is the same — a proper diagnostic, a written price, then the repair.
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.

Seattle98101 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.
How quickly can a technician get to Seattle?
For the 98101 service area our target response time is 60-90 minutes from the moment dispatch confirms your address. Real-world timing depends on the day — the first sustained heat or cold snap of the season is always our busiest period — but we hold technicians locally specifically so that window is achievable rather than aspirational.
Can you give me a price over the phone?
We can give you realistic ranges — and this page lists the ones homeowners in Seattle 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.
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 Seattle, and we recommend a working CO alarm on every level of the home regardless of who services your equipment.
Do you service commercial and light commercial properties?
Yes. Around Seattle we handle rooftop packaged units, split systems, VRF/VRV installations and building automation faults for offices, retail, restaurants and multi-tenant buildings, including after-hours scheduling so you are not disrupting trade.
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 Seattle 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.
