Fast central air repair when it fails, plus right-sized, high-efficiency new installs that keep the whole home cool through Pacific Northwest heat waves.
The mid-century homes in Houghton and Finn Hill frequently have ductwork sized for heating only, so a first-time install means confirming the existing ducts can handle the added airflow before we size the new condenser. Where a system is already in place, most Kirkland service calls are a condenser or capacitor that has simply worn out.
We size every system to your actual demand — not a one-size guess. Here's what a typical ac repair & install includes:
| Efficiency | Up to 22 SEER2 |
|---|---|
| Capacity | 1.5–5 tons |
| Compressor | Variable-speed |
| Lifespan | 12–15 years |
Mid-century homes in Houghton, Juanita and Finn Hill sit on hilly view lots, so outdoor units and line sets often have to work around slopes and decks, while Moss Bay condos built since the 1990s have tight mechanical closets. Many older Kirkland homes were built without cooling. Adding AC there means checking whether the ducts in homes around Houghton can move enough air, or using a heat pump or ductless system instead.
A replacement AC or condenser usually needs a mechanical permit; most repairs do not. Mechanical and plumbing permits in Kirkland go through the City of Kirkland Development Services. When the work needs a permit, we pull it, schedule the inspection and leave you the paperwork.
Kirkland homes get electricity from PSE, and most have PSE natural gas. Kirkland homeowners may qualify for utility, state or federal rebates. We point you to the current programs for your address before you sign.
