Heating calls in Seattle
The 59 ZIP codes on the Seattle heating page route to independent providers for furnace, boiler and heat pump work. Damp cool winters suit heat pumps, which run long low-output cycles rather than short hard ones. That shapes which fault types providers see most across this market.
All 59 ZIP codes shown sit within Seattle, King County. During a freeze event the ZIP code matters more than usual, because travel time decides who can realistically reach you.
Local considerations
Damp cool winters suit heat pumps, which run long low-output cycles rather than short hard ones. In Seattle that determines whether heating calls here are combustion problems or refrigerant-cycle problems, and those need different parts on the truck.
Carbon monoxide risk applies to any combustion appliance in a Seattle home. A working alarm near sleeping areas is the only reliable warning, and a sounding alarm means leaving the building before calling anyone.

What is your thermostat reading?
Drag the dial to the temperature your thermostat shows now. The readout names the likely cause band, how urgent it is, and which page to read next.

Degrees F
- Likely cause band
- Cooling capacity loss: dirty coil, low refrigerant charge from a leak, or a failing capacitor.
- Urgency
- Call today
- Read next
- AC not cooling
What to do while you wait
- Switch the thermostat off so the system stops attempting ignition over and over.
- Confirm the gas supply valve is open and that a service switch has not been knocked off.
- Check the filter. A blocked one makes the furnace overheat and shut itself down.
- Keep interior doors open so the warmth remaining in the house distributes evenly.

Call (855) 321-3194Questions
Seattle HVAC questions
Is a cracked heat exchanger repairable?
No. A cracked heat exchanger is a carbon monoxide risk rather than a comfort fault, and the correct response is replacement of the furnace. Any provider suggesting a patch on one is giving you poor advice.
Can I run a space heater meanwhile?
Portable heaters carry their own fire risk and should never be left running unattended or near fabric. Never use a gas range or an outdoor appliance to heat a room, which is a direct carbon monoxide hazard.
Do I need a carbon monoxide alarm?
If any gas appliance runs in the home, yes. Carbon monoxide is colourless and odourless, and a working alarm near sleeping areas is the only reliable warning. If one sounds, leave the building and call 911 from outside.
Do you work on boilers in Seattle?
Yes, where a provider covering your ZIP code handles them. Boiler faults run to pressure loss, circulator pumps, expansion tanks and zone valves, which is a different skill set from forced-air work. Say so when you call.
Why does my furnace smell when it first runs?
A brief dusty smell on the first run of the season is normal as dust burns off the heat exchanger. A persistent burning smell, or any electrical smell, is not. Shut it off and call.
