Furnace Installation and Replacement
Many Yelm furnaces went in with the homes in the 2000s and are now reaching the end of their life. We size the replacement with a load calculation instead of copying the original. See our heating services.
Furnace Maintenance
Furnaces from the 2000s often show wear on igniters, flame sensors and inducer motors. Our fall visit checks those parts, the venting and the safety controls.
Furnace Repair
When a furnace short cycles, will not light or blows cold air, we find the failed part and quote the repair upfront.

AC Installation and Replacement
Two-story homes in newer subdivisions often run hot upstairs. We size new AC or heat pump systems to the home and look at zoning where it helps. Explore our AC services.
AC Maintenance
Our spring tune-up checks the refrigerant charge, coils, capacitor and drain line on the systems that came with Yelm homes in the 2000s and 2010s.
AC Repair
A 15-year-old AC that suddenly stops cooling may need a simple part or may be near the end. We test it and give you both answers.
Heat Pump Services in Yelm
Heat Pump Installation
Adding a heat pump to an existing gas furnace, or replacing an aging AC with one, gives you efficient heating and cooling. Learn more about our heat pump services.
Heat Pump Maintenance
For heat pumps paired with a gas furnace, we check the outdoor coil, charge and defrost controls, and confirm the furnace backup comes on only when it should.
Heat Pump Repair
When a heat pump ices over, blows cool air or runs nonstop, we test the defrost controls, reversing valve and refrigerant charge.
Why Yelm’s Building Boom Affects HVAC Replacement Today
Most of Yelm was built in the last 25 years. The U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey for 2020 to 2024 shows about 34 percent of Yelm homes built from 2000 to 2009 and another 26 percent from 2010 to 2019.
That timing matters. Furnaces, air conditioners and heat pumps installed in those years are now 15 to 25 years old, which is when most systems start to fail. Many Yelm neighborhoods will see replacements in the same few years.
Equipment in fast-growing subdivisions was often sized by rule of thumb rather than a room-by-room calculation. A system that is too big short cycles and leaves upstairs rooms hot. One that is too small runs nonstop on the coldest days. A replacement is also a chance to fix comfort problems the original system never solved, such as a hot upstairs or a cold bonus room.
That is why we size every Yelm replacement with a load calculation, which uses the home’s square footage, insulation, windows and orientation. We also check the ducts, since a new system only works as well as the air it can move. Book a replacement assessment before your original system decides for you.
What Customers Say About Our Replacement Work
A proper load calculation is the first step in a good replacement. Mark Sundberg saw that on an estimate visit.
“Gregg was super thorough and actually completed J load calculation, discussed installation scope of work, and patiently explained options. He even called other team members to clarify / confirm his planning. Excellent all around!” Read this review on Google
Systems from the 2000s and 2010s are reaching replacement age. Chris witkowski replaced a furnace that was more than 13 years old.
“Charles was very good in explaining the issues that my furnace had. I knew my furnace was 13+ years old and would have issues. I bought a new furnace to insure that I would have a dependable furnace especially for the winter.” Read this review on Google

Yelm HVAC Questions
Answers to common heating and cooling questions from Yelm homeowners.
Do you serve all of Yelm?
Yes. We serve homes across Yelm, from the newer subdivisions to the older homes near downtown. We also serve nearby Tenino, Lacey and Olympia.
My system came with the house in the 2000s. Should I replace it?
Not always right away. We check the age, condition and repair history of the system, then tell you whether to repair, plan a replacement or keep maintaining it.
What should I do if my furnace stops working on a cold night?
Check the thermostat, the furnace switch and the breaker first, and replace a clogged filter. If you smell gas, leave the house and call your gas utility. Otherwise, request service online and note that you have no heat.
How much does a new furnace or heat pump cost in Yelm?
The cost depends on the size of the home, the type of system and whether you add zoning. We quote each option upfront before any work starts, and we can point you to utility rebates that may apply.
Do you offer a military discount?
We offer 5% off for veterans and first responders. Ask about it when you book.
