Washington
Air Conditioning in Washington: what's different
Air Conditioning across Washington depends on the climate (IECC climate zones 4–6). Marine climates have mild summers, so many homes added cooling only recently, often with heat pumps or mini-splits. Heat waves bring sudden demand for AC service and installs.
In Washington specifically: heat waves. Homes without AC are vulnerable during extreme heat; heat pumps add cooling. Wildfire smoke: Summer smoke makes filtration upgrades valuable.
Washington contractors register with the Department of Labor & Industries, and HVAC electrical work requires a specialty electrician certification. Common systems in Washington: Heat pumps, Ductless mini-splits, Gas furnaces, Electric baseboard (older homes).
Puget Sound Energy, Seattle City Light, Avista and many public utility districts supply electricity. PSE, Avista and Cascade Natural Gas supply gas.

FAQ
Air Conditioning questions in Washington
Can I get air conditioning service anywhere in Washington?+
Our contractor network covers many Washington ZIP codes. Call with your ZIP code and we will tell you whether a licensed contractor serves your address.
Is a ductless heat pump worth it with baseboard heat?+
Usually yes. It's far more efficient than electric resistance heat and adds summer cooling.
How do I know if my AC needs repair or replacement?+
Age, refrigerant type and the failed part decide it. A newer system with a bad capacitor or fan motor is a repair. An older R-22 system with a failed compressor or leaking coil is usually a replacement.
Why is my AC running but not cooling?+
Common causes are a dirty filter or coil, low refrigerant from a leak, a failed outdoor fan or capacitor, or a frozen indoor coil. Turn the system off if you see ice and call for a diagnosis.
