"I just had my yearly service done by Ilianna (service technician); and, I received great service from her. She was polite, friendly, professional and thorough. I have requested her to service my furnace next year."

"Nate, Jason and the electricians that worked with them were fantastic! I couldn’t be happier with their service. They installed a new heat pump and central A/C for me, and were punctual, professional and efficient. They explained the work they were doing so that I understood what was going on, and even identified some potential issues that I hadn’t noticed. I’m glad I went with Hunt’s, and they’ll definitely be my first choice for HVAC moving forward."

I highly recommend their annual service contract.  Keeps your furnace in top shape, plus offers membership benefits.  Have used these people for years.  Very responsive, professional and nice to deal with.

"Great service. Had to wait for the furnace to be put in during the winter; however, they gave us 2 room heaters to loan while we waited for the furnace to be put in."

"I struggled a bit in determining how to rate the service I just received from Harts Services. I would happily give Harts a 5 star rating if it was only about the serviceâ ¦but itâ s not just about the service. Thereâ s another factor I have considered after the fact and having done so I have since changed my mind. It wasn't a lot of work but it was definitely work that needed to be done. Specifically, I needed to have two water supply valves under the kitchen sink replaced and I needed the toilet gasket seal at the base of the downstairs toilet replaced. Thatâ s it! I had already removed the kitchen faucet and replaced it with a new one so no work was required there but the valves under the sink were old and not compatible with modern faucet designs so they needed to be replaced before I could use the faucet. Based on the reviews I read through Home Advisor, I decided to go with Harts Services. I have absolutely no problem with their customer service or the person who came out. Both the customer service person and the technician who came out were great; very personable and friendly. I also have no problem with the quality of the work performed. It was excellent! The technician was very competent and efficient and took care to keep the work areas clean. Hereâ s what I have a problem with: the cost! Thatâ s it. The technician was in the house for about an hour. He got the two valves removed and replaced in about 20 minutes and the toilet gasket seal removed and replaced also in about 20 minutes. The total visit lasted about an hour give or take a few minutes. For this service, I was charged nearly $1,100...and that was including a veteran's discount! Iâ m thinking the parts were $50-$75 at most. Rather than charging by the hour, this was â parted outâ and each valve replacement was charged as a separate job (at over $360 per job) as was the toilet gasket! So I have to ask; a thousand dollars an hour for a plumber??? Now Iâ ve been on this earth over 60 years. Iâ m not a plumber but I do know how to turn a wrench and am reasonably handy around the house. Since when did plumbers start making upwards of $1000/hour? I havenâ t needed a plumber in a while but I have a difficult time believing this is the current going rate. I needed the work to be done and to be fair, no one twisted my arm. He did present me with the price before hand and I agreed to pay that so I have no one to blame but myself although I had no idea it would take less than an hour to complete the work. It wasnâ t until after he left and I started to think about it that I began to get upset. This was not difficult work. For the work that was done, a fair price in my mind should have been in the $300 to $500 range for an hourâ s work. That is also in line with what I learned is the average hourly rate charged by most plumbers. So, thatâ s why Iâ m not recommending Harts Services and only giving them a 4 Star rating. It would be even less because of the price but , as I said, I have no one to blame but myself. I was under no obligation to accept that price but, at this point after the fact, I canâ t help feel like this was far more expensive than it should rightfully have been. The next time I need minor plumbing work doneâ ¦Iâ ll be more thoughtful. I'll do the necessary research and ask the question: do you charge by the hour or by the part/job? Or if possible, I'll just do it myself if I canâ ¦before calling on the services of a $1000/hour plumber! Charging by the part or by the individual job, especially when the individual jobs are minor, as in my case, may enrich the company but it's not fair to and very bad for the customer. Harts Services needs to adopt a per hour pricing strategy instead of a per part/job strategy. Until they do that, I will not recommend them or use them again. Live and learn."

"The repair work went well. It required two trips out because when the technician arrived, the furnace fired up perfectly. Tech spent about 45-60 minutes trouble shooting various possible causes and came up with two most likely suspects: control circuit-board and gas switch. After discussing with me, he left and did not bill me. When the furnace failed again two days later, he returned and I ultimately decided to replace both potential bad-actors. That has been about three weeks ago and the furnace is operating fine."

""Thermostat Repair" doesn't describe the service we needed. We have a large dehumidifier that needed significant maintenance and Rob got it all done in one trip. I would certainly recommend him. He was very responsive, knowledgeable, and professional."

"We were very pleased with the quick response, detailed information, professional and courteous staff at all levels. Our old furnace died in November on a Friday. Other businesses couldn't get anyone out to repair and replace it for 2-3 weeks. Ranger had it replaced on Monday for us. This week our electronic air filter quit working. Again we had a quick response with a simple fix at no charge. All of our questions were answered fully and information given about the latest models but with no pressure to buy. We will absolutely use Ranger again and refer our friends and family to them."

FAQs for central a/c service or repair projects in Lakewood, WA

Coils work to absorb heat into the refrigerant that flows through them, moving heat from one location to another. For air conditioning, the evaporator coil inside the air handler in your home absorbs heat. It then transfers the heat outside to the condenser coil, where it releases it. The opposite process happens for heat pumps. When the coils get dusty and dirty, it reduces how well these components work.

Skip regular cleanings, and dirt, debris, and mineral deposits will blanket your evaporator and condenser coils. When that happens, the coils can’t shed heat efficiently, so the system works harder and your energy bill climbs. Over time, overheating strains the compressor and can trigger a full breakdown—an avoidable repair that often costs far more than a simple annual cleaning.

AC coil cleaning is an investment that pays for itself in the benefits it provides. Dust‑caked coils force your AC to run longer, so you spend more on electricity and rack up extra wear. A quick professional cleaning restores efficiency, trims monthly bills, and eases strain on expensive parts. Over the long haul, that small yearly fee delays pricy repairs and stretches the unit’s lifespan, making coil cleaning one of the smartest HVAC tune‑ups you can schedule.

Watch for higher electric bills, rooms that stay warm no matter how low you set the thermostat, or an AC system that runs nonstop. Extra humidity and frost on the coils are also red flags. Catching these clues early lets you schedule a quick cleaning before the system overworks itself and triggers an expensive breakdown.

Your AC cleaning technician starts by shutting off the power to the unit and removing the faceplate. Compressed air and a vacuum hose blast away loose debris, followed by a coil-safe, no-rinse cleaner that dissolves stubborn grime. After the solution has soaked in, the professional wipes the fins, reassembles the housing, and restores power, leaving the system ready to cool at peak efficiency.
