When the system goes down or starts behaving strangely, the visit follows a clear pattern. The technician who comes out checks the equipment methodically, starting with what the symptom points to and working through the components before quoting any repair. If it is a furnace that stopped producing heat, that means the igniter, heat exchanger, burner assembly, and controls. If it is an AC that is running but not cooling, that means the refrigerant circuit, the capacitor, the coil, and the airflow path. Nothing gets quoted before the diagnostic is done, and the system is tested before the visit ends.
Kenmore homeowners and property managers can reach us any day from 5:00 AM to 8:30 PM. We cover the full range of residential and commercial heating and cooling work in this town and across King County, from a quick repair call to a full system replacement.

A room addition that was built without extending the duct system properly is one of the more common comfort complaints in a town with a mix of older homes and newer renovations. The original duct layout was sized for the original floor plan. Adding square footage without adding duct capacity means the new space runs on whatever air happens to reach it, which is usually not enough. We assess the existing trunk and branch layout, calculate what the added space needs, and design the extension to deliver the right airflow to every room. The work covers new duct runs, connections at the air handler, and a full airflow test after the job is complete.
When one part of the house runs noticeably warmer or cooler than the rest, the cause is usually in the distribution rather than the equipment. Leaky duct connections, a damper that is stuck or missing, or an undersized branch run can all starve one zone while another gets more than it needs. We check the duct system when the symptoms point that way, because treating the equipment when the real problem is a supply run will not fix what the customer is experiencing. In homes without existing ductwork, a ductless mini-split installed in the problem area handles it directly without touching the rest of the system.
Smaller commercial properties often run packaged rooftop units that handle both heating and cooling from a single piece of equipment. When one of those units stops performing, the whole building feels it quickly. The diagnostic covers the refrigerant circuit, the heat exchanger, the controls, and the economizer if the unit has one. Refrigerant leak diagnosis is part of that process, because a slow leak will keep coming back until the source is found and addressed. We work on commercial rooftop equipment for small offices, retail spaces, and multi-use buildings across the area.
A single thermostat controlling the whole house is a reasonable setup for a small floor plan. For a larger home, or one where different floors or wings have different heating and cooling needs, a zoning system with individual controls for each area is a more practical answer. We install and service zoned HVAC systems, including smart thermostats and multi-zone controllers that let different areas run independently. A property manager handling several units in the same building has the same need at a different scale, and we handle that configuration too.
Comfort problems don't wait, and neither do we, so emergency calls are taken every day within our published hours. When the heat goes out in the middle of a cold stretch, or the cooling fails during a heat event, the call gets scoped on the phone before anyone comes out. That means you know what the visit covers and what it costs before the technician arrives.
For a tenant situation or a business that cannot shut down, we work around the occupancy. The diagnostic and repair process does not require the property to be empty, and we will tell you on the call what access is needed and what to expect during the visit. If the system needs a part that has to be ordered, we will cover that on the call too, so there are no decisions to make under pressure.
Short-notice work is taken when the schedule allows. Emergency calls are answered and handled the same way as planned appointments: the job is scoped first, the rate is confirmed, and the work starts from the unit.
The rate for a repair call is confirmed on the phone before anything is scheduled. What the final scope looks like depends on what the diagnostic finds. The fault itself is the first variable. A capacitor swap is a different job from a refrigerant recharge, and a refrigerant recharge is a different job from a compressor replacement. What has to be reached to get to the component matters too, because some equipment is straightforward to access and some is not.
The repair-versus-replace question is the other thing that changes a quote. If the equipment is old enough that the repair cost approaches what a replacement would run, we will give you both numbers on the same call so you can make the decision with the full picture. Equipment sized for the space rather than for the last unit makes a real difference in long-term performance, and a replacement quote covers the load calculation as part of the process.
Call (425) 599-1559 and ask what the visit covers. You get a straight answer before anything is booked.
Reliable systems. Solid workmanship. Straight answers.
Smoke events have become a recurring part of summer and early fall across the Pacific Northwest, and a standard one-inch filter is not built to handle the fine particulate that comes with them. Those particles are small enough to pass through and recirculate through the home. A MERV-13-rated filter or a media air cleaner that fits into the existing air handler captures a significantly higher proportion of smoke particles. We check the air handler and the duct connections before recommending a filtration upgrade, because a tighter filter requires the system to move air against added resistance. If the system can support it, the upgrade is straightforward.
Beyond smoke season, the air inside a home picks up dust, allergens, and contaminants that a basic filter does not address. Whole-home air purifiers, UV air scrubbers, and ventilation improvements all work differently and suit different situations. We assess the existing setup and recommend based on what the home actually needs, rather than defaulting to the most involved solution. If the current filter housing and air handler can support a meaningful upgrade, that is where we start.
The thermostat is the first place to look. Confirm it is set to the right mode, that the temperature setting is actually calling for heat or cool, and that the batteries are not dead. A thermostat that lost its settings or switched modes on its own is behind more service calls than it should be.
Check the circuit breaker for the air handler and the outdoor unit. A tripped breaker will shut the system down completely and look like an equipment failure. Reset it once. If it trips again, stop there and call, because a breaker that keeps tripping is pointing to something that needs a proper look.
Check the filter. A filter that is completely blocked will cut airflow to the point where the system either shuts down on a safety limit or runs without conditioning the air properly. Pull it out and hold it up to the light. If no light comes through, replace it before calling, because a new filter sometimes resolves the complaint entirely.
If none of those is the issue, call (425) 599-1559 and describe what the system is doing.
We will scope the problem on the phone and tell you what the visit covers before anyone comes out. More of the detail sits on our list of HVAC services.

If you are in a community not listed here, call (425) 599-1559 and we will confirm coverage at your address.
Filter change intervals depend on the filter type and the conditions in the home. A standard 1-inch filter in a home with pets or high dust levels may need changing every month. A thicker media filter in a cleaner environment may last several months. Check the filter monthly and replace it when it is visibly loaded. We will confirm the right filter type for your system on the visit.
Ice on the outdoor unit during heating mode can be normal, as heat pumps go through a defrost cycle. Ice that does not clear, or ice forming on the refrigerant lines connected to the indoor unit, usually points to a refrigerant charge issue or an airflow problem. Either condition is worth a diagnostic call before the system is run further.
Yes. Most commercial HVAC work does not require the business to close or the space to be empty. We will confirm on the call what access is needed and work around the occupancy. For rooftop units, the work is typically done from the roof with no disruption to the interior. For air handler or controls work inside the building, we will let you know what to expect before the visit.
Most modern smart thermostats are compatible with standard forced-air systems, but compatibility depends on the wiring at the air handler and whether the system has a common wire. We check the wiring and the equipment before recommending a specific control, and the installation includes confirming that the new thermostat is communicating correctly with the system before we leave.
If the home has existing ductwork from a forced-air heating system, adding central AC is straightforward: an outdoor condenser and a coil inside the air handler, sized to the actual square footage of the home. If there is no ductwork, a ductless mini-split is the cleaner path. A single-zone system handles one room or an open layout. A multi-zone system handles several rooms from one outdoor unit. We assess the layout on the call and can tell you which path fits before anyone comes out.
A system that will be unused for an extended period benefits from a maintenance visit before it is shut down and another before it is started up again. Sitting idle does not damage a well-maintained system, but a unit that has not been checked in a long time may have developed a refrigerant leak, a corroded connection, or a filter that is past its useful life.
Call (425) 599-1559 when you are ready to bring the property back into use.
Yes. A full heat pump replacement covers removal of the existing heating equipment, installation of the new heat pump and air handler, refrigerant line sets, and startup testing. The electrical circuit and disconnect are outside our scope and handled by the appropriate trade. We confirm what the full job involves on the call before anything is scheduled.
In most cases, yes. The most common leak points are at duct connections, at the air handler, and at the main trunk, and those are usually accessible without opening finished walls. Where leaks are inside a wall cavity, we will tell you what the options are before any work is authorized.
We will ask about the equipment, what it is doing, how long the problem has been happening, and whether anything changed before it started. By the end of the call, the visit will be scoped, the rate confirmed, and an appointment on the calendar. What a tune-up covers gets spelled out before it is booked, and the same applies to every other job type.
