Licensed, bonded & insured in WashingtonMon–Fri 8am–6pm · 24/7 emergencies
This page covers AC repair, replacement, and seasonal maintenance for homeowners throughout Greater Seattle. Many older homes in this region were built with heating-only systems, so cooling is often added later via ductless mini-splits or central AC retrofits. Newer builds increasingly include heat pumps that handle both heating and cooling. Whether your system won't turn on, isn't cooling evenly, or needs a pre-summer check, our technicians diagnose and repair most issues in a single visit.

Straight answers
Air Conditioning Services questions we hear most
Do I need central air in Seattle's climate?
Many homes here get by with fans or window units, but summer heat waves have made cooling more of a priority. Ductless mini-splits are popular because they don't require existing ductwork and also provide efficient heating in winter.
How long does an AC installation take?
A single-zone ductless mini-split typically takes one day. Central AC installs or multi-zone ductless systems can take one to two days depending on home layout and electrical work needed.
Will PSE or Snohomish PUD rates affect my running costs?
Yes, electricity rates from Puget Sound Energy or Snohomish County PUD directly affect operating costs. Heat pumps and modern mini-splits are generally more efficient than older central AC units, which can lower monthly bills.
Do you work on older homes without existing ductwork?
Yes. A large share of homes in King and Snohomish counties were built before central air was standard. Ductless mini-split systems are our most common recommendation for these homes since they avoid the cost of adding ducts.
