How often should I have my HVAC system serviced?
+
We recommend bi-yearly maintenance: a heating tune-up in the fall (September–November) and a cooling tune-up in the spring (April–August). Regular maintenance extends system life, improves efficiency, and catches small issues before they become expensive repairs.
What's included in your maintenance agreement?
+
Our maintenance plans include two scheduled visits per year, priority service, 15% discount on repairs, and discounted emergency service calls. Each visit includes inspection, cleaning, filter replacement, fluid checks, thermostat testing, and more. See our Pricing & Maintenance section for details.
Do you offer emergency service?
+
Yes! We offer emergency HVAC service when you need it most. Call 253-686-1082 (Tacoma) or 360-939-2637 (Stanwood) after hours. Emergency service calls may include after-hours surcharges — contact us for details on our Emergency Service Plan.
How much does a furnace replacement cost?
+
Furnace replacement costs vary based on your home's size, existing ductwork, system efficiency level, and local labor costs. Typical range: $3,500–$7,500 installed. We provide free estimates so you know the exact cost before work begins. Contact us for a personalized quote.
What's the difference between a heat pump and a furnace?
+
Furnaces burn fuel (gas or electric) to generate heat; heat pumps move existing heat indoors. Heat pumps are more efficient and can both heat and cool, but furnaces are better in very cold climates. Our team can recommend the best option for your home and budget.
How do I know if my air filter needs replacing?
+
Check your filter visually every month. If it looks dirty or gray, replace it. Standard filters should be replaced every 1–3 months; HEPA filters every 6–12 months. A clogged filter reduces efficiency, increases energy costs, and can damage your system. We replace filters at every maintenance visit.
Why is my heating or cooling bill so high?
+
High bills often result from dirty filters, poor insulation, thermostat issues, refrigerant leaks, or an aging system running inefficiently. We perform detailed inspections to identify the cause. Regular maintenance and system upgrades can cut energy costs by 15–30%.
Do you service all brands and types of HVAC systems?
+
Yes! We service furnaces, heat pumps, air conditioning units, and more from all major brands including Lennox, Trane, Carrier, York, and others. Our technicians are trained on all system types, so you're in good hands regardless of what you have.
How long does a typical HVAC system last?
+
Most furnaces and heat pumps last 15–20 years with proper maintenance. Air conditioning units typically last 12–15 years. If your system is nearing the end of its life, we can discuss replacement options, efficiency upgrades, and financing to fit your budget.
Do you offer financing options?
+
Yes! We work with trusted financing partners to make system replacements and major repairs more affordable. Ask us about flexible payment plans and seasonal promotions when you call or request a free estimate.
