When Tacoma’s winter rains settle in and the wind starts blowing off Commencement Bay, reliable heat isn’t optional, it’s essential. We provide expert heating services for homes and businesses across the city, specializing in energy-efficient systems that can handle damp, cool PNW winters with ease and efficiency, providing you with comfort and savings in your wallet.When temperatures drop, your home or business needs a heating system you can count on. We install, repair, and maintain furnaces, heat pumps, and ductless systems to keep your place warm and efficient.
Our Heating Services Include:
• Furnace installation & repair
• Heat pump systems (ideal for when Tacoma winters fluctuate from mild rains to cold snaps)
• Ductless mini-split heating
• Heating maintenance & tune-ups
EPA Fact: According to the U.S. Department of Energy, upgrading to a high-efficiency furnace or heat pump can reduce energy costs by up to 30% annually. That’s a lot of savings that you can use for something else!
While summers in Tacoma were once mild, recent years have seen record-breaking temperatures! Most homeowners are realizing the importance of having a dependable air conditioning system and we’ve seen an uptick in new systems installed. Not only are they extremely beneficial but they’ll increase your home’s value as well. We install and service modern air conditioners and ductless mini-splits that are designed for comfort and efficiency. We’ll walk you through the entire process, give you our recommendations, and complete the entire installation with professionalism and care.
Cooling Services Include:
• AC installation, repair & maintenance
• Ductless mini-split systems
• Heat pump cooling systems
Local Expertise: Tacoma homes often have smaller duct systems or none at all - that’s why ductless systems are a perfect fit for neighborhoods like Hilltop and Old Town, where retrofitting ductwork can be costly. Ductless systems avoid this, providing your home with comfort without needing extensive renovations.
Tacoma’s damp climate can lead to dust, mold, and allergens collecting in ductwork - and if your ducts are leaking, you could be wasting up to 30% of your heated or cooled air, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.
Our air duct experts use deep brushing and negative-pressure vacuuming to remove buildup and improve system efficiency. This professional process will ensure that your ducts are well-cleaned and prepared for the foreseeable future.
Our Duct Services Include:
• Air duct cleaning & sanitizing
• Duct sealing & insulation
• Duct repair & reconfiguration
• Airflow balancing
Cleaner ducts mean better indoor air quality, lower health risks from bad air, and lower energy costs.
Lint buildup inside dryer vents not only makes it longer to dry your clothes, it’s also a hidden fire hazard. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) reports that dryer fires cause nearly 16,000 house fires every year, often due to clogged vents.
Our dryer vent cleaning services use professional equipment to clear lint, improve airflow, and keep your home safe.
Services Include:
• Dryer vent cleaning & brushing
• Vent reconfiguration & repair
• Roof cap replacement
• Safety inspections
Local Insight: Many Tacoma homes have laundry rooms tucked in basements or additions - meaning long, hard-to-reach vent runs. We specialize in cleaning and rerouting these safely, efficiently, and up to code.
Tacoma’s mix of humidity, wildfire smoke, and older airtight homes can make indoor air surprisingly poor. According to the EPA, indoor air is often 2–5 times more polluted than outdoor air! That number can spike even more during smoke season. We’ve been seeing a lot more wildfire smoke in recent summers, and it’s not expected to get any better.
We install and service complete indoor air quality systems, including:
• UV light purifiers (kills bacteria & mold)
• HEPA & Honeywell filtration systems
• HRV/ERV systems for fresh air exchange
• Whole-home dehumidifiers & humidifiers
Local Fact: During the 2023 wildfire season, Tacoma’s air quality index (AQI) reached 175 (Unhealthy). For reference, up to 50 is good, up to 100 is moderate, and anything beyond that is a problem. Proper IAQ systems can reduce particulate matter in your home or business by up to 90%, helping your lungs and overall health.
