The independent heating and cooling company across Washington

AC Replacement in Seattle, WA

AC replacement for Seattle homes is a sizing and airflow job before it is an equipment job. We measure the house, look at duct sizing, check the return path and ask how the upstairs bedrooms actually feel in August, because a bigger outdoor unit rarely fixes a duct problem. Many homes here end up on a heat pump that handles cooling and most of the heating season. We will lay out the options plainly. Call us to set a walkthrough, or start with the quote form.

The symptoms that lead here in Seattle

There's no ductwork in the addition or the garage conversion Candidate for a ductless mini-split zone
The outdoor unit is loud, rattling, or shaking the deck Worn compressor or fan bearings, failing mounts, aging condenser
The AC runs all day and the house still never gets cool Undersized or failing equipment, duct restriction, low refrigerant charge

How we decide replacement is the right call

Repair first when a repair holds. A bad capacitor, a contactor, a fan motor, those are heating repair and air conditioner repair items with years left after them. We lean toward replacement when the compressor is failed, when refrigerant is leaking from the coil itself, when the system uses a refrigerant that is hard to source, or when repair costs are approaching the value of the equipment. We will tell you plainly which side of that line you are on.

What an AC replacement actually involves

We start with a load calculation for your house, not a match to the old label. Square footage, insulation, window area, ductwork and where the sun hits all change the BTU number. Then we pull the old condenser and indoor coil, check the line set, replace it if it is not suitable, and set the new equipment on a level pad or bracket. We connect, evacuate and charge the system, wire the controls, and run it while we watch temperatures and pressures.

AC Replacement in Seattle — quick answers

Do I have to replace the indoor coil and furnace too?

The outdoor unit and indoor coil have to be a matched, compatible pair, so the coil usually gets replaced. The furnace or air handler can often stay if its blower suits the new system and it has life left.

Can I replace my AC with a heat pump?

Often yes, and many homeowners in Oregon and Washington do. A heat pump cools like an air conditioner and heats in shoulder season. We check your electrical capacity, ductwork and backup heat before recommending it.

How soon can you get to a Seattle home?

Call us with your address and what the system is doing, and we will give you the next available window rather than a vague promise. No-heat and no-cool calls get priority, and during a hot stretch in August or the first cold snap we book out faster, so calling early in the day helps. If you want to try two safe things first, check the thermostat batteries and settings and look for a tripped breaker.

How it works

Step 1
Tell us the symptom
Call or fill in the quote form. Describe the noise, the smell, the temperature, and when it started. That detail helps us bring the right parts and gives you an honest idea of the visit ahead.
Step 2
We diagnose on site
A technician checks the thermostat, airflow, electrical connections, refrigerant behaviour and the outdoor unit. We tell you what failed and why, in plain language, before anyone reaches for a part or a price.
Step 3
You choose the repair
We lay out the fix, any parts on order, and what happens if you wait. Once you agree, we do the work and confirm the system holds temperature before we pack up and leave.

Why homeowners call us

Heat pumps are our normalIn this region heat pumps outnumber furnaces, so defrost boards, reversing valves and short cycling in wet weather are everyday work for us. We know how these systems behave in a cold December rain, not just on a test bench.
Wet winter defrost problemsIce on the outdoor coil, a unit that runs and runs without warming the house, puddles that refreeze under the pad. We trace whether it is a sensor, a stuck valve, drainage, or airflow, then fix the actual cause.
Filtration after smoke seasonWildfire smoke turned indoor air quality into a real conversation here. We look at filter fit, return sizing and IAQ options that your blower can actually push air through, rather than choking the system with the wrong media.
We explain before we chargeYou get the diagnosis, the options and the trade-offs before work starts. If a repair is not worth it on an old system, we say so. No pressure, no jargon dumped on you at the door.
