Common HVAC problems in Wenatchee, WA

• Poor cooling on hot summer days: often due to low refrigerant, failing capacitors, or clogged coils
• Inefficient heating in winter: worn heat pump compressors, faulty thermostats, or aging furnaces
• Uneven temperatures or weak airflow: caused by duct leaks, blocked return vents, or undersized equipment
• Frequent short-cycling or rising energy bills: improper system sizing or degraded components
• Indoor air quality concerns during wildfire season: insufficient filtration, unsealed ducts, or missing ventilation strategies
  

How we diagnose and prioritize work

1. Inspection and system assessment
   
   • Visual inspection of indoor and outdoor units, airflow measurement, refrigerant and electrical checks, and evaluation of ductwork and controls.
   • Simple explanation of findings so you know what's failing, why and how it affects comfort and cost
2. Load calculation and equipment selection
   
   • A professional sizing assessment (Manual J/Manual D basics) ensures the replacement or new equipment fits your home, not just a one-size-fits-all recommendation.
   • Equipment options explained by performance, energy efficiency, and suitability for Wenatchee’s seasonal temperature swings.
3. Transparent estimate and timeline
   
   • Clear breakdown of recommended repairs or replacement scope, expected timeline for work, and warranty coverage for parts and labor.
4. Professional installation and testing
   
   • Certified installation practices: correct refrigerant charge, proper duct connections, secure electrical work, and code-compliant venting.
   • Post-install commissioning and performance testing to confirm operating efficiency and balanced airflow.

Repair and replacement: what to expect

• Emergency Repairs: For 24/7 emergency service, priority diagnostics focus on restoring safe heat or cooling quickly — temporary fixes are used only when necessary to stabilize the system until full repair or replacement can be scheduled.
• Component Repair: We commonly repair failed capacitors, relays, compressors (when feasible), fan motors, and control boards. Repairs are recommended when they extend system life cost-effectively.
• System Replacement: When systems are old, repeatedly breaking down, or inefficient, replacement with a properly sized air conditioner, furnace, or heat pump is often the best investment. Heat pumps are especially attractive in Wenatchee for both cooling and efficient electric heating.
  

Why consider heat pumps and mini-splits in Wenatchee

• Heat pumps provide efficient heating and cooling with lower operating costs compared to older electric forced-air systems — a strong match for homes in Chelan County that see large seasonal swings.
• Mini-split (ductless) systems are an excellent solution for add-on rooms, poorly ducted spaces, or selective zoned comfort control.
• Chelan County PUD offers rebates of up to $4,000 for residents who switch from electric forced air to a heat pump, making upgrades more affordable in many cases.
  

Manufacturer partnerships and product quality

• We install and service leading brands (including Daikin) known for energy efficiency, reliable performance, and strong manufacturer support.
• Choosing reputable manufacturers helps ensure longer manufacturer warranties and better parts availability, which matters for lasting performance in Wenatchee’s climate.
  

Financing and local rebate assistance

• Financing options are available for qualifying projects, including promotional plans like 0% for 12 months on select programs, to spread the cost of replacement equipment.
• Assistance navigating local incentives: we can help identify and document eligibility for Chelan County PUD rebates and other regional incentives that lower upfront costs for heat pump conversions.
  

Ductwork, air handlers, and indoor air quality

• Properly sealed and insulated ducts improve efficiency and comfort, and reduce dust and smoke infiltration during wildfire season.
• Air handler work includes replacing aging motors, upgrading filtration to MERV-rated filters or electronic purifiers, and installing balanced ventilation where needed.
• Air quality upgrades tailored to Wenatchee homes can include upgraded filters, UV germicidal options, and controlled ventilation to reduce indoor pollutants.
  

Guarantees, warranties, and service standards

• Work is backed by manufacturer warranties on equipment and a workmanship guarantee for installations and repairs.
• Warranties and guarantee terms are explained up front so you understand what’s covered and for how long.
• Safety-first practices, code compliance, and post-service performance verification are standard on every job.
  

Service areas and typical response times

• Primary coverage includes Wenatchee, East Wenatchee, Cashmere, Leavenworth, Plain, and nearby Wenatchee Valley communities.
• Emergency repair capability operating 24/7 with rapid-response goals in local city limits; routine service appointments are typically scheduled within 24 to 48 hours depending on season and demand.
  

Maintenance recommendations to extend system life

• Annual tune-ups: AC maintenance in spring and heat pump/furnace check in fall to prevent breakdowns and maintain efficiency.
• Regular filter replacement every 1–3 months (depending on filter type and home conditions) to protect equipment and improve air quality.
• Periodic duct inspections and sealing every 5–10 years or sooner if you experience persistent airflow or comfort issues.
