Loud banging on start-up (compressor slugging)

No cool air, or air that is barely cooler than the room
Heating and air conditioning service built around Seattle
Nobody in Seattle wants to spend a day waiting on a technician with a four-hour window. We quote a 60-90 minutes target response time for this ZIP and hold crews locally so that number is realistic.
In the 98164 area we see a lot of attic-mounted air handlers. Attic heat soak in summer and cold-soak in winter both shorten component life and make insulation checks part of a proper diagnosis.
The busiest week of our year in Seattle is the first stretch of sustained july weather. Systems that idled all season fail in clusters.

Seattle98164 HVAC questions, answered
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.
What does a new system cost in Seattle?
A complete residential replacement in the 98164 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.
Do you handle ductless mini-split systems?
Yes. Ductless installations have grown quickly in Washington, particularly in older homes without existing ductwork. We service indoor heads, clean filters and drain lines, check line-set insulation and diagnose communication faults between heads and the outdoor unit.
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.
How often should I change my filter in 98164?
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.
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.
