FAQs
How does your transparent pricing model work for heat repair in Blaine?
Before any work begins, our technician diagnoses the problem, explains the solution, and shows you a printed menu of flat-rate prices that already include parts, labor, tax, and trip charge. You authorize the exact dollar amount on that menu, so there are no surprise add-ons when the job is finished. If the repair options change once the unit is opened, we stop, review the new scope, and get your approval in writing first. Because we publish the same rates for every customer in Blaine, you can be confident you are paying a fair, up-front price—not an estimate that could grow later.
What are the most common heating issues you repair in Blaine homes?
Our service calls most often involve failed ignition systems on gas furnaces, cracked hot-surface igniters, worn blower motors, malfunctioning heat-pump defrost boards, dirty flame sensors, faulty limit or pressure switches, and thermostats that have lost calibration. We also handle leaking boiler expansion tanks, noisy ductless mini-split fan wheels, and clogged condensate drains. Because cold snaps along the North Sound put systems under heavy load, lack of maintenance is a major contributor. We arrive with the OEM parts, test instruments, and maintenance supplies needed to correct most of these problems immediately.
Do you offer emergency or same-day heat repair services, and what do they cost?
Yes. During Blaine’s winter season we staff an on-call technician 24/7, including holidays. Same-day service during normal business hours carries our standard diagnostic fee, which is itemized on the price menu you’ll see on arrival. After-hours or holiday calls have a clearly posted $89 emergency dispatch fee in addition to the flat-rate repair price. Because our pricing is fixed, the repair itself costs the same at 10 pm as it does at 10 am; only the dispatch fee changes. You will approve the total—including any emergency fee—before we start work.
What heating systems and brands can your technicians service?
All of our technicians are EPA-certified and factory-trained to work on gas furnaces, electric furnaces, heat pumps, ductless mini-splits, hydronic boilers, and packaged rooftop units up to 20 tons. We keep up-to-date service documentation for popular brands such as Trane, Lennox, Carrier, Bryant, Goodman, Daikin, Mitsubishi, Rheem, Ruud, Bosch, and Navien. Even if your system is older or less common, we have access to regional distributors in Bellingham and Seattle for legacy parts, and our universal ignition and control kits cover many discontinued models.
How quickly can you get parts and complete repairs during Blaine’s peak winter months?
Roughly 80 % of repairs are finished on the first visit because our vans are stocked with the top 200 failure-prone parts for the Pacific Northwest climate—igniters, blower capacitors, ECM modules, contactors, gas valves, and thermostat kits. If we do need a specialty component, our dispatch team can source it same-day from suppliers in Ferndale, Bellingham, or Vancouver, BC, and our courier makes two runs daily. For rare items that must be factory-ordered, we overnight them whenever possible and provide electric space heaters at no charge until the final repair is completed.
Are your heat repairs backed by any warranties or guarantees?
Yes. Every repair includes a written one-year labor warranty and the manufacturer’s part warranty, which ranges from 1 to 5 years depending on the component. If the same part fails within our labor warranty period, we replace it at zero cost to you—no service call, no paperwork. In addition, we offer a 100 % satisfaction guarantee: if you are not happy with our workmanship or your system’s performance within the first 30 days, we will return, correct the issue, or refund the original repair price. All guarantees are spelled out on your invoice before you sign.
