Cooling services in Lakewood, WA

Our warmer summers mean your AC or heat pump must be ready when the heat hits.

Cooling repair

Common problems we fix fast:

• The system runs but won’t cool, or the indoor coil is iced over

• Water around the furnace/air handler (clogged condensate)

• Breaker trips, short cycling, or won’t start

• Loud outdoor unit, fan not spinning, or warm air at vents
  How we solve it:

• Pinpoint refrigerant leaks; replace failed capacitors/contactors; diagnose fan/compressor faults

• Clear and treat condensate drains; verify float switches

• Clean coils to improve heat transfer and reduce head pressure

• Verify thermostat and control operation

We’ll walk you through choices and deliver a clean, code‑right install.

Cooling maintenance

• Prevent breakdowns when you need cooling most.

• Clean and straighten outdoor condenser fins

• Inspect blower wheel and indoor coil; clean as needed

• Confirm refrigerant charge; record superheat/subcool

Indoor air quality (IAQ) solutions for Lakewood homes

Between lake‑area moisture, seasonal pollen, traffic corridors, and late‑summer wildfire smoke, IAQ matters. We fix stale air, odors, humidity swings, and persistent dust.

IAQ installation

• High‑MERV media filters and cabinet upgrades to boost capture without choking airflow

• Whole‑home air cleaners (electronic/HEPA) to reduce fine particles and smoke

• UV‑C coil treatment to limit biological growth on the indoor coil

• Balanced ventilation with ERV/HRV to bring in fresh air while managing heat and moisture

• Humidity control: dehumidification in summer; humidification in winter, where appropriate

IAQ repair and service

• Replace UV lamps; clean EAC cells/electrodes; service air cleaner fans

• Duct sealing and balancing to reduce dust infiltration and even out room temperatures

• Source‑track moisture issues and persistent odors

IAQ maintenance

• Set the right filter schedule for your home, pets, and allergy/smoke sensitivities

• Inspect ductwork, plenums, and returns for leaks or microbial growth

• Verify ventilation rates and adjust controls seasonally

Our process

• Schedule: Call or book online. Choose a convenient appointment window; we’ll send reminders.

• Diagnose: We listen, inspect, and pinpoint the cause—not just the symptom.

• Options: Clear repair/replace paths with transparent pricing—no surprises.

FAQ: HVAC service in Lakewood, WA

• How often should I service my system?
  Twice a year: a heating tune‑up in fall and a cooling/heat‑pump tune‑up in spring keep efficiency up and surprises down.

• Are heat pumps a good fit for Lakewood’s climate?
  Yes. Modern heat pumps—including cold‑climate models—heat efficiently through most of our winter and provide quiet, efficient cooling in summer. Many homes pair them with a furnace (dual fuel) for flexibility.

• Repair or replace—how do I decide?
  Consider age, repair history, comfort, efficiency, and safety. If a repair is more than a third of a new, efficient system and your unit is near the end of its life, replacement often wins in the long term.

• How often should I change my filter?
  Homes with pets or smoke/allergy concerns: check monthly and replace every 1–2 months. Otherwise, every 2–3 months is common. Media filters may go 3–6 months—follow cabinet and filter specs.

• What can I check before a tech arrives?
  Confirm thermostat settings, check the filter, make sure breakers/disconnects are on, and clear debris around the outdoor unit. If you smell gas or burning, exit and call for help.
