AfterHVAC Company in Kenmore, WA
Meadowsweet Heating & Air is the HVAC company Kenmore calls for repair and replacement work that respects both the house and the people living in it. Kenmore jobs run differently than they do in Bothell or Kirkland, because the Sammamish River valley holds cold air and dampness in ways that change how equipment performs and how long it lasts. We handle AC repair, furnace repair, and full AC installation across the city, with a written price before any work starts and a crew that leaves the floors as clean as they found them. Call (747) 966-3037 for service from someone who already knows the valley.
Why Kenmore Homes Are Different
Kenmore sits where the Sammamish River empties into the north end of Lake Washington, and that geography does more than make for nice views. The valley floor traps cold air on clear winter nights, so overnight temperatures here dip lower than a few miles uphill in Bothell, WA. Heat pumps in Kenmore work harder in January than they would in most Seattle suburbs, and that reality changes what we recommend for cold-weather performance.
Most of the housing stock was built between the 1960s and early 1980s, before Kenmore incorporated as a city in 1997. That means ranch and split-level homes dominate, many still running electric baseboard heat from an era when hydropower was nearly free. When those baseboards get replaced with a ducted or ductless heat pump, the electrical panel often needs attention too. We regularly find panels that were sized for baseboard circuits, not for a heat pump’s startup draw. A good Kenmore quote includes a panel audit up front, because skipping it leads to nuisance breaker trips in December.
The dampness matters as much as the cold. Ground fog sits in the river valley from October through March, and lake-effect moisture keeps crawl spaces and attics humid year-round. If airflow is weak or a system is oversized, condensation turns into mold far faster here than it would in Woodinville, WA. Our techs look at ductwork and return-air sizing before recommending anything, because Kenmore houses punish shortcuts.
Our Main Kenmore Services
Kenmore homeowners call us most often for two things: a cooling system that quit in the middle of July, or a furnace that won’t fire on a foggy January morning. AC installation rounds out the work we do here, usually as part of the shift away from electric baseboard heat.
AC Repair in Kenmore
When an air conditioner fails in Kenmore, the humidity inside climbs fast. A house near the river can go from comfortable to clammy in a few hours. We diagnose the full system, not just the part that stopped, because valley moisture accelerates corrosion on coils and electrical connections. Common fixes here include failed capacitors, refrigerant leaks at flare fittings, and condensate drains clogged by the fine organic dust that settles out of the river fog. We stock parts for most major brands and send a written price before the repair starts. See AC Repair in Kenmore for the full breakdown.
Furnace Repair in Kenmore
Kenmore’s damp winters push furnaces harder than people expect, especially in homes close to the SR-522 corridor where ground fog lingers longest. Flame sensors foul faster in humid crawl spaces, pressure switches clog with dust drawn in from the river valley air, and heat exchangers in older units rust at seams that would stay dry elsewhere. We check the whole sequence of operation, not just the error code, and we always explain what failed, why it failed, and what the fix costs before we touch a screwdriver. Start with Furnace Repair in Kenmore.
AC Installation in Kenmore
Replacing electric baseboard heat with a central heat pump or ductless system is the single most common installation job we do in Kenmore. The work starts with a load calculation that accounts for the valley microclimate, because a system sized for Seattle averages will short-cycle in Kenmore’s colder winter nights and leave rooms clammy in summer. We also audit the electrical panel, as many 1960s and 1970s homes here were not wired for heat pump startup current. Cold-climate heat pump selection is standard on our Kenmore quotes, not an upsell.

Pricing for HVAC Company in Kenmore, WA
| Service | Typical range in Kenmore |

| AC repair | $150-$650 |
| Furnace repair | $150-$700 |
| AC installation | $3,500-$7,500 |
| Tune-up | $80-$200 |
What pushes a Kenmore repair toward the top of the range is usually age and deferred maintenance: corroded coils from river-valley humidity, undersized ductwork that overheated a blower motor, or an electrical panel that needs a dedicated circuit before a new system can be installed safely. That’s why every visit starts with a written price covering the actual recommended work. You approve it before we begin, and the number on the page is the number you pay.

FAQs About HVAC Company in Kenmore
Most calls in Kenmore get same-day service, especially in the mornings. Our dispatchers route crews from neighboring areas into the valley throughout the day, so a furnace that won’t start on a cold morning usually sees a technician before evening. Call (747) 966-3037 and a live person will tell you exactly when to expect us.
Yes, Kenmore building codes require an electrical permit for heat pump installation, and the city may require a mechanical permit depending on the scope. Because many older Kenmore homes were built under county rules before incorporation, our team checks the existing ductwork and panel before quoting so the permit path is clear from the start.
No. Kenmore is inside our regular service area, so the trip charge is the same as for surrounding cities. The price you’re quoted before work begins includes everything for that visit, with no added mileage or valley-access fees.

What Kenmore Customers Say
"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."
- Nadine Oakley"Furnace tune up before winter. He was careful going in and out, closed the gate behind him every time because of the kids, and cleaned up the work area completely. Calm, thorough guy."
- Marcus Pell"Comfortable in every room now, and not a trace that a crew had been here. Booties, drop cloths, the works. They even wiped down the thermostat they'd handled. Really considerate."
