Heating and air conditioning service built around University Place
Serving University Place and the wider Pierce County area, our crews carry the common failure parts on the truck — capacitors, contactors, igniters, flame sensors, motors and filters — so the first visit is usually the last one.
Homes in Pierce County tend to be a mix of older builds with original ductwork and newer infill construction, which means airflow problems show up very differently from one street to the next.
The busiest week of our year in University Place is the first stretch of sustained july weather. Systems that idled all season fail in clusters.

University Place98467 HVAC questions, answered
Can you give me a price over the phone?
We can give you realistic ranges — and this page lists the ones homeowners in University Place 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 does a new system cost in University Place?
A complete residential replacement in the 98467 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.
What brands do you service in University Place?
All of them. Our 98467 technicians are trained on Lennox, Carrier, American Standard, Rheem and essentially every other residential brand sold in Washington, including discontinued lines. We keep a broad parts catalogue on the trucks for exactly that reason.
How often should I change my filter in 98467?
Monthly inspection and replacement every 60 to 90 days is the baseline. Homes in University Place 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.
Do you service commercial and light commercial properties?
Yes. Around University Place 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.
