Licensed, bonded & insured in WashingtonMon–Fri 8am–6pm · 24/7 emergencies
This page covers heating repair for homeowners throughout King and Snohomish counties, including furnaces, heat pumps, and ductless mini-split systems. A repair visit includes diagnostic testing, a written explanation of the problem, and the fix itself when parts are on the truck. Homeowners typically call when a system stops producing heat, cycles oddly, or runs up utility bills without explanation — common issues in the older housing stock found throughout the Puget Sound region.

No surprises
How a heating repair visit works
1
Phone or online request
Tell us the symptoms, your equipment type, and your city so we can send a technician familiar with local permit and code details.
2
Diagnostic visit
A technician inspects the furnace, heat pump, or ductless unit, tests electrical components and airflow, and pinpoints the failure.
3
Upfront estimate
You get a clear price before any repair starts, based on parts needed and labor time, within the $189 to $950 range for most jobs.
4
Repair
Most repairs are completed the same visit using common parts carried on the truck; specialty parts may require a follow-up trip.
5
System test
We run the system through a full heating cycle and check thermostat response before we consider the job done.
Why quotes range from $189 to $950
These factors decide where your job lands in the range — and we walk you through each one on the written quote.
- Equipment type and age, since heat pumps and older furnaces often need parts that cost more than standard gas furnace components
- Whether the failure is electrical, mechanical, or refrigerant-related, which changes labor time
- Access to the unit, especially in older Seattle-area homes with tight crawlspaces or attic-mounted systems
- Time of year, since mid-winter demand can mean less flexibility on scheduling and occasional after-hours rates

Straight answers
Heating Repair questions we hear most
Do you repair both furnaces and heat pumps?
Yes. We service gas furnaces, electric furnaces, ducted heat pumps, and ductless mini-split systems. Heat pumps are common throughout King and Snohomish counties, so our technicians carry parts for the major residential brands used in the area.
How fast can someone come out?
Most homeowners in Seattle, Bellevue, Everett, and surrounding cities get a same-week appointment, and many calls placed before early afternoon are seen the same day, depending on route load that day.
What's included in the $189 diagnostic fee?
The $189 covers the technician's visit, a full system inspection, and a written diagnosis with repair pricing. If you approve the repair, that fee is typically applied toward the total cost of the job.
Do older homes cost more to repair?
Sometimes. Homes built before the 1980s in cities like Seattle, Everett, and Kirkland often have original ductwork or tight mechanical closets, which can add labor time. Newer construction in areas like Redmond or Issaquah is usually more straightforward to access.
