Houses, on the same terms

Repairs, replacements and controls for homes in Federal Way, Auburn, Kent and Des Moines.

Repairs

Diagnosed before it is quoted

Heat pumps, gas furnaces, electric furnaces and the controls that tie them together. Faults are measured rather than guessed, and the price for putting it right comes before the work rather than after.

Where a system is beyond sensible repair we say so and show the comparison, including what it costs to keep it running for another season.

What matters in this climate

  • Backup heat settingsA heat pump configured as a furnace runs the electric backup far more than it needs to. It is the most common hidden cost we find.
  • Defrost behaviourA defrost cycle that never completes looks like a system blowing cold air in winter. It is diagnosable in one visit.
  • SizingFrom the house rather than the old label, so the system runs long and steady rather than in short bursts.
  • Noise and placementWorth thinking about on a small lot before the pad goes down, not afterwards.

Schedules at home

The same idea, smaller

Most houses are conditioned for hours nobody is in them, and most thermostats have the schedule that came in the box. A sensible weekday pattern and a recovery setting that starts early enough removes most complaints about setbacks.

We will set it up with you rather than leaving you a manual — and on a heat pump we will explain why the setback should be shallow.
