"We had an overall ok experience with Hunt's Services. Scheduling felt impersonal. After I tried to contact them through Angi, a system-sent text message directed me to their website to start the communication process all over again. Eventually someone did call to set up an appointment. Their system does not, however, appear capable of offering an appointment time or even a time window. They only offered a scheduled day and then 30 minutes notice when a technician was on their way. Fortunately, I am able to work from home and be flexible about breaks, so this worked ok for me. But for someone who needs to actually go to work or run errands, they may not be your best option. Pricing seemed a bit high. The cost to replace our leaky faucet was at the high end (or possibly higher) of what the internet seemed to indicate was normal for that service. Also, I didn't really need the faucet installed, since I'm reasonably handy at these things. I only needed the old one removed since it was apparently damaged and stuck in place (they eventually needed a Sawzall to remove it). But that service wasn't on their pre-defined menu of procedures, so full replacement was the only option they were able to quote. We needed the leak fixed, so we chose to have them complete the entire job rather than seeing if we could find someone else to do the work. Workmanship was decent. The replacement faucet was installed without leaks. The drain stopper was installed backwards, however, which meant that it couldn't be removed for cleaning or maintenance. I needed to partially disassemble the drain in order to correct this. It wasn't a big deal, but didn't feel like it should be necessary. All that being said, the leak that existed when they showed up was no longer there by the time they left. The technicians themselves were courteous and efficient. So they did fulfil our primary need in hiring a plumber. But we'll probably look at other options, or at least get more quotes for comparison, the next time we need something like this taken care of."

"A very professional, knowledgeable and personable Service Advisor arrived at the prearranged time. He called about an hour before to let us know that he was on schedule. He presented the findings, almost exactly how the Maintenance Technician explained them, and went into more depth about the ramifications of the issues found. After initially discussing the issues, he performed a test of the system, which confirmed the findings. I was present during both the Maintenance visit and this visit and both walked me through the issues in understandable, professional detail. He then presented what could be done...starting with repairs. After reviewing the repairs and costs, we then moved on to replacement costs. We are absolutely impressed with this Service Advisor and continue (for the last 20 years) to be impressed by this Company."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Purchased 2 smart thermostats, installed them myself and apparently blew a panel board I didn't know I had. They moved the new panel out where I could actually see it, previous tenant had hidden it behind the furnace, and repaired all of the damage I had unwittingly caused. Explained everything, kept me up to date while they were doing the repairs, and overall, I just feel very glad I went with Rob and HVAC Service Pros. The previous company I'd used, Ranger HVAC, had told me things in my system were A-OK, when they weren't. I highly recommend hiring Rob and HVAC Service Pros. Quick response, knowledgable, saved my bacon. No complaints, nothing but praise."

"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 Tacoma, 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.
