If your system is doing any of the following, it is worth a diagnostic before the fault gets more expensive.
Yellow or orange burner flame instead of steady blue

Loud banging on start-up (compressor slugging)
Heat pump stuck blowing cold air in heating mode
Heating and air conditioning service built around Tacoma
If your heat pumps and ductless mini-splits has started short cycling, blowing warm air or making a noise it never used to make, you are not alone — Tacoma generates some of the highest call volume we handle in Washington. Mild wet winters and increasingly hot dry summers, with heat pumps and ductless systems leading new installs.
Because Washington swings between seasons quickly, a lot of our Tacoma 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 Tacoma is the first stretch of sustained july weather. Systems that idled all season fail in clusters.

Tacoma98422 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.
Can you give me a price over the phone?
We can give you realistic ranges — and this page lists the ones homeowners in Tacoma 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.
Are your technicians licensed and insured?
Every technician dispatched into Tacoma is licensed, insured and background-checked. We can provide proof of insurance on request before the visit if you would like it on file.
What does a new system cost in Tacoma?
A complete residential replacement in the 98422 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.
How much does an HVAC service call cost in 98422?
A diagnostic visit in Tacoma 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.
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.
