Summers here punish an air conditioner
Air conditioning, heat pumps and heating for Tri-Cities homes and businesses — sized and serviced for 105°F afternoons, not for a catalogue.
- Diagnosis firstThe fault is measured and shown to you before any price is quoted.
- Homes and businessesHouses, offices, shops and agricultural and light industrial units.
- Plain answersIncluding when the sensible thing is to wait until autumn.
Two sides, both real
The Tri-Cities has hot, dry summers and cold enough winters that heating matters too. Both sides of the calendar, and both kinds of customer, get proper attention here.
Homes
Cooling that has to survive July, heating that has to work in January, and the ducts between them.
- Air conditioning and heat pump repair
- Replacement sized from the house
- Duct sealing and airflow correction
- Thermostats, zoning and controls
Business
Rooftop units, split systems and the equipment rooms that never get cold enough.
- Rooftop and split system service
- Planned maintenance, logged per unit
- Change-outs and tenant fit-outs
- Equipment and server room cooling
Is it broken, or is it just 106 outside?
On the hottest afternoons a healthy air conditioner can still sit a few degrees above the set point. That is the equipment working at its limit, not a fault — and telling the two apart saves a call-out fee.
Put in the outdoor temperature, what the thermostat is set to and what the house is actually reading. The check tells you which of the two you have.

Before you call
My house will not get below 78°F on a hot afternoon. Is that a fault?
Not necessarily. Equipment is sized for a design outdoor temperature, and above it a healthy system runs continuously and still drifts a few degrees. Our heat-wave check tells you whether the gap you are seeing is normal for the temperature outside.
Are heat pumps a good idea in the Tri-Cities?
For most of the winter, yes, and they cool in summer as well. What matters is how the backup heat and the defrost cycle are set up — that is where a badly configured heat pump gets expensive.
Do you work on commercial buildings?
Yes. Rooftop and split system service, planned maintenance logged per unit, change-outs and equipment-room cooling, alongside the residential work.
How often does the outdoor coil need cleaning here?
More often than the manual assumes. Dust and cottonwood load a condenser coil quickly in this valley, and a coil that cannot reject heat is the most common reason a system struggles in late July.
Will I get a price before the work starts?
Yes. We diagnose first, then price the repair in writing, with the alternatives where more than one makes sense.
