Hurliman Heating is a second generation locally owned family business, in operation since 1956. We pride ourselves on quality work and customer satisfaction. Our knowledgeable staff will go the extra mile to ensure our customers are happy.

"Hurliman installed a furnace for us on 12/20/23 and an air conditioning unit this summer. While the state inspector came to look at the air conditioning unit he also looked at the furnace. Although last winter Hurliman told us the furnace passed inspection after it was installed- it was NEVER INSPECTED and the inspector found three code violations. Our broken air conditioning unit was misdiagnosed by their tech and we spent $1,937 on a so-called fix that didn't work. We were then given an estimate for a $7,604.20 new AC unit which was higher than the price range listed on their website. Although they listed eight different AC manufacturers on their website that should have various price points, they refused to offer us estimates for any other more affordable units because there was so much demand in the summer so they "don't have to". That's not a company with integrity, that's called gouging. We ended up going with one of their competitors who installed a quality air conditioner (one of the same brands listed on Hurliman's website) for almost $2,000 less than what Hurliman was going to charge us."

We have been building all phases of construction for over 35 years here in the Spokane area. Building several of our own homes from the ground out. About 15 years ago my wife and I decided to start our own construction company and have been doing all variety of projects, from new builds to remodel. We are happy to do small projects. We currently are wanting to focus on interior finishes such as kitchen and bathroom remodeling, painting, trim, door and window replacements and home repairs. We have always maintained good relationships with our clients and are very concerned with their satisfaction.

Central a/c installations FAQs

If you’re replacing an old AC system with a new unit, you can usually clean and repair the old ductwork without having to conduct a full replacement. Cleaning HVAC ducts typically costs around $400, while repairs range from $200 to $1,000. In contrast, installing new ductwork can range from $1,000 to $5,000, making it far more costly than cleaning or fixing existing ducts. HVAC installation costs an average of $7,000 to replace a full system, so staying on top of maintenance and repairs is important.

AC cost efficiency depends on the size of your space and your long-term plans for your home. If you only need to cool a small area, a portable AC unit has a low upfront cost. Heat pumps are typically the most cost-effective option if you want to cool an entire home or improve the resale value. They provide strong cooling while being energy-efficient, which saves you money on your utility bills compared to most other AC types.

Installing a central AC unit typically takes four to eight hours if your home already has ductwork in place. However, if new ductwork needs to be installed, this can add another one to two days of labor to your project.
