File 02 — Heating
Furnaces, heat pumps, mini-splits
Gas furnaces do the heavy lifting in a Seattle winter. We repair all makes, install right-sized replacements, and maintain what you already own. A heat pump moves warmth instead of burning fuel to make it — one machine that heats in winter and cools in summer, well suited to our mild climate. Many customers pair a heat pump with their existing furnace: the pump handles the mild months, the furnace takes the coldest nights. No ductwork? A ductless mini-split puts a quiet head in each zone, every zone its own temperature.
File 03 — The tune-up checklist
Once a year, before heating season
- Heat exchanger — inspected, the part that must never crack
- Burners — cleaned and adjusted for a clean blue flame
- Ignition & gas pressure — tested, measured, logged
- Blower motor — lubricated, amp draw checked
- Safety controls — every limit switch tested
- Thermostat — calibrated against a reference
- Flue & temperature rise — inspected and measured
- Carbon monoxide — checked at the registers
File 04 — Cooling & air
AC, ducts, and the air itself
Seattle summers keep getting warmer. We install central AC sized from a real load calculation and service what you have: refrigerant charge, coil condition, electrical draw, airflow, thermostat. Duct cleaning means agitating the inside of your supply and return runs and pulling it all out under vacuum, vent by vent. For indoor air quality we work the three levers — filtration, ventilation, humidity — with sized media filters, purifiers, and honest advice about the damp months.
File 05 — Electrical · Plumbing · Restoration
Three more trades, one number
Our electricians handle repairs, new fixture installations, and whole-home generator installations — a standby generator with an automatic transfer switch starts itself when utility power drops. Our plumbers handle repairs and installations across the home, coordinating with the heating crew when a job touches both. And when a storm tears through or mold takes hold, our restoration crew finds the source, contains the damage, removes what's ruined, and rebuilds what's left.
File 06 — Straight answers
What customers ask every week
How often should I change my furnace filter? Every one to three months in heating season; monthly with pets. A clogged filter causes more dead-furnace calls than anything else.
How long should a furnace last? Fifteen to twenty years with maintenance. Past fifteen, with frequent repairs, we'll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you really answer at 2 a.m.? For emergencies, yes — heating, cooling, electrical, and plumbing, around the clock, every day of the year.
