AfterHVAC Company in Seattle, WA
Seattle homes were built for rain, not for heat. That changed in June 2021, when the heat dome pushed Sea-Tac to 108°F and forced thousands of families to rethink cooling in houses that were never designed for it. Meadowsweet Heating & Air handles that reality every day: older Craftsman bungalows with no ductwork, damp winters that strain furnaces, and steep hillside lots that complicate every line-set and crawlspace job. We’re the HVAC company in Seattle, WA that shows up with a written price before any work starts, and we leave the house cleaner than we found it. Call (747) 966-3037 any time – a live person answers, even at 2 a.m.
Why Seattle Homes Are Different
Seattle’s housing stock runs older than almost any major city on the West Coast. Capitol Hill and Wallingford are full of early-20th-century Craftsman bungalows built around hydronic radiator systems, which means there is literally zero ductwork in the building envelope. Beacon Hill and West Seattle mix those with postwar ranches that have forced-air furnaces but no return-air setup built for cooling. The result is a city where a “simple AC install” often isn’t simple at all. Most homes built before 2021 have no AC equipment and no ducts to carry it, so the default solution is a ductless mini-split system rather than a traditional split AC. Add Seattle’s steep topography – hillside foundations, tight crawlspaces, split-levels stacked into slopes – and every job involves routing lines through basements, under decks, or along foundation walls that were never meant to hide refrigerant lines. We plan around those constraints from the first visit, and we explain the routing in plain English before anyone touches a wall.
Our Main Seattle Services
Most calls to our Seattle office come down to two situations: an air conditioner that stopped cooling during one of our increasingly hot summer stretches, or a furnace that quit during the long damp months between October and April. Here’s what each job looks like in this city.
AC Repair in Seattle
Seattle’s AC systems tend to fail in clusters during heat events, because equipment that sits idle for nine months a year gets brittle – capacitors dry out, contactors corrode in the damp marine air, and condenser coils clog with cottonwood and moss spores. When the heat dome returns in July or August, systems that haven’t run since the previous September get asked to work at full load with no warm-up. Our technicians diagnose those failures fast, stock common parts for the brands we service, and give you a written price before any repair begins. If your system is a ductless mini-split – common in Seattle homes that added cooling after 2021 – we carry the inverter boards, fan motors, and sensors that fail most often. Learn more about AC Repair in Seattle.
Furnace Repair in Seattle
Seattle furnaces run hard from October through April, but they also spend months cycling on and off in shoulder-season weather that never gets cold enough to burn off condensation. That persistent moisture is tough on flame sensors, inducer motors, and gas valves – parts that corrode faster here than in drier climates. Older Seattle homes with original or aging furnaces also tend to have undersized return-air paths, which strains the blower motor and shortens its life. When we come out for a Furnace Repair in Seattle, we check the whole system, not just the part that failed – and we show you the written price before we turn a single screw.
AC Installation in Seattle
Installing AC in Seattle almost always means either adding a ductless mini-split system or replacing an older unit that a previous owner installed after the 2021 heat dome. The job starts with a load calculation sized for Seattle’s actual climate – not a generic formula – because our cool, damp winters mean a heat pump makes far more sense here than it would in Phoenix or Las Vegas. We’re qualified to install equipment from Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, York, Daikin, Bryant, and American Standard. Every install gets a set date, a written fixed price, and our 365-Day Done Right Promise. See what’s involved in AC Installation in Seattle.

Brands We Service in Seattle
We service and install equipment from nine major brands, including Goodman, Rheem, and Daikin – three names we see frequently in Seattle’s retrofit-heavy market because their ductless and mid-efficiency furnace lines fit older homes well. Our trucks carry common parts for these brands, which means fewer second trips. See our brands for the full list.
Pricing for HVAC Company in Seattle, WA
These are the price ranges we quote most often for Seattle jobs. Every visit includes a written price before any work starts – no exceptions, no “we’ll see once we open it up.”
| Service | Typical range in Seattle |
|---|---|
| AC Repair | $175-$765 |
| Furnace Repair | $175-$825 |
| AC Installation | $4,130-$8,850 |
| Tune-Up | $95-$235 |
What pushes a Seattle job toward the upper end of those ranges is usually access. A hillside crawlspace in Queen Anne, a condenser that has to be lifted onto a roof bracket, or a line-set routed through a finished basement all add labor hours. We show you the written price before work starts, so there’s no surprise at the end of the visit.

FAQs About HVAC Company in Seattle
We run crews throughout Seattle daily, so most non-emergency calls are scheduled same-day or next-day. If your furnace quits on a cold night or your AC dies during a heat event, call (747) 966-3037 and a live person will book you for the soonest available slot – including nights and weekends.
Some installations in Seattle require a permit through the Seattle Department of Construction and Inspections, but we handle the paperwork for you. Our technicians know which jobs trigger a permit and which don’t, and we’ll tell you upfront – before any work starts, not after the fact.
Yes. Because Seattle’s systems sit idle for months at a stretch and run in persistent dampness, we recommend a tune-up every spring and fall – in the $95-$235 range – to catch corrosion and moisture damage before they become repair calls. It’s cheaper than a mid-January furnace failure.

What Seattle Customers Say
"New system install. They protected the hallway floor all the way to the attic and vacuumed after. Worked quietly around my work calls. Not a trace left behind."
- Rosalind Okeke"AC repair in July. The tech laid a mat down by the indoor unit and wore booties through the house. Fixed it fast and left zero mess. Quiet and kind, good with our nervous dog too."
- Delia Frost"Good repair and a very tidy, respectful tech. The appointment window was wide and he came near the end of it, but he texted ahead. Work itself was clean and done right."
