Heating and air conditioning service built around Seattle
Homeowners across Seattle call us when the system simply will not keep up. Mild wet winters and increasingly hot dry summers, with heat pumps and ductless systems leading new installs. That is why we staff a live dispatch line around the clock instead of routing you to a queue.
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.
We recommend two maintenance visits a year in Washington: one before July and August and one before November through March. It is the single highest-return thing a homeowner can do for equipment life.

Seattle98112 HVAC questions, answered
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 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.
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.
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.
Why is my system short cycling?
Short cycling in Seattle 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.
How often should I change my filter in 98112?
Monthly inspection and replacement every 60 to 90 days is the baseline. Homes in Seattle 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.
