Most residential HVAC installations take 1-3 days depending on the system type and complexity.

Spring and fall (shoulder seasons) usually offer better availability and promotional pricing than peak winter/summer. You'll also avoid emergency installs and get more time to compare options.

Proper sizing requires a Manual J load calculation based on your home's square footage, insulation, windows, and climate. An oversized system cycles too frequently, while an undersized system struggles to maintain comfort. We perform detailed load calculations to ensure your system is perfectly sized for efficiency and comfort.

It's a repair-vs-replace guideline: multiply your system's age by the repair cost. If the product is over $5,000, replacement is usually more cost-effective. Example: a 12-year-old unit × a $500 repair = $6,000 → consider replacement. We confirm with a load calculation and full diagnosis.

Typical service rates are $100–$175 per hour in Pierce County, plus a diagnostic/trip fee. Flat-rate pricing is common for specific repairs; we always quote before work begins.

Under the federal 25C credit, qualifying equipment may receive 30% of project cost up to $2,000 for eligible heat pumps (annual cap $3,200 including other upgrades) and up to $600 for qualifying central AC or gas furnaces. Eligibility and caps apply—consult your tax advisor and save invoices/model numbers. We can provide AHRI certificates upon request.

Heat pumps transfer heat rather than generate it, providing both heating and cooling efficiently. Furnaces burn fuel (gas, oil, propane) to generate heat for winter only. In Washington's mild climate, modern cold-climate heat pumps are highly efficient. We help you choose based on your home's needs, budget, and existing infrastructure.
