HVAC repair in University Place, the local picture
We handle heating repair, air conditioning repair and system replacement for homes in University Place, and if your system is down right now, call us and we will get you on the schedule. University Place weather is hard on equipment in a quiet way. Winters sit in that damp 35 to 45 degree band where heat pumps run long cycles and go into defrost over and over, and a marginal defrost board or a clogged outdoor coil shows up as a house that never quite warms. Summers used to be forgiving. They are not anymore, and the split-level and ranch homes near the bluff, many built in the sixties and seventies, were ducted for heat only. Add smoke season and filtration becomes part of the conversation, not an upsell. Before you call, check the thermostat batteries, the breaker, and your filter. If those look fine, the problem is ours to diagnose.
Most homes here went up in the postwar decades through the 1980s, with ramblers and split levels on generous lots, plus newer infill near the town center. Expect original ductwork in crawl spaces, modest attic insulation, and older gas furnaces being swapped for heat pumps that now carry both heating and cooling.
Our vans run Bridgeport Way, 67th Avenue West, Grandview Drive and Highway 16 most days.

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.
- All major brands, gas & electricOne independent crew for Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem and more.
- Straight answersNot worth fixing? We say that out loud, and often it saves you the visit fee.
