Heating Repair in Redmond WA

No heat in your Redmond home? We fix furnaces, heat pumps, ductless, and baseboard — same day. Upfront pricing, 90-day warranty.

Heating Problems We Fix in Redmond

  • No heat at all when the thermostat calls for it — could be the thermostat itself, low-voltage wiring, or a failed ignition module
  • Heat pump running but blowing cold air instead of warm — often a failed reversing valve or a refrigerant charge issue that needs proper diagnosis
  • Furnace short-cycling — turning on and off every few minutes — usually a dirty flame sensor, restricted airflow, or an oversized furnace tripping high-limit
  • Thermostat unresponsive or losing WiFi connection to the app — common with Nest and Ecobee thermostats in older Redmond homes with wiring not up to spec
  • Uneven heating between floors or rooms — typically a duct balancing issue or a return-air imbalance we correct with damper adjustment
  • Strange smell when the heating system first kicks on — dust burn-off is normal briefly, but persistent burning or gas smell needs a same-day tech
  • Electric baseboard heater not warming up despite power — usually a failed element or a thermostat that’s stopped closing correctly
  • Ductless heat pump head blowing air but not heating — commonly a refrigerant leak, control board failure, or reversing valve stuck in cooling mode
  • Rising energy bills with no change in usage — often a system that’s lost efficiency — dirty coils, low refrigerant, or a failing blower motor
Same-day in nearly every case. We run techs through Redmond daily, and a completely dead heating system in winter gets priority scheduling on our dispatch board. If you call by early afternoon, we can almost always find an evening window that same day rather than leaving you overnight without heat. Winter no-heat calls with young children or elderly residents in the home get top priority — flag that when you call and we'll build the visit around it.
Briefly during defrost cycles in cold, damp weather, yes — the system reverses briefly to melt frost off the outdoor coil, and cool air comes through the vents for a few minutes. If it's blowing cold air continuously, that usually points to a refrigerant issue or a failed reversing valve, and it needs a technician, not a thermostat reset. If your heat pump is under 5 years old and still under manufacturer warranty, we handle the warranty claim paperwork on your behalf where covered parts are involved.
Yes, though we'll also tell you honestly if it makes more financial sense to convert to a heat pump — baseboard heat is expensive to run, and many Redmond homeowners qualify for Energy Smart Eastside conversion rebates that make the switch worthwhile. We'll quote the repair and lay out the alternative. Baseboard heat conversion consults are free — we'll show you the actual math on staying versus switching so you can make an informed decision.
90 days, parts and labor, on every repair. Same problem within that window and we come back at no cost — no diagnostic fee, no travel charge, no exceptions. It's our standard policy across every service line. This warranty is on top of any remaining manufacturer warranty on parts we install — our labor warranty stacks with it rather than replacing it.

Heating Systems We Repair in Redmond

Gas Furnaces — still the most common system in Redmond’s Education Hill and Willows-Rose Hill homes built through the 1990s.

Heat Pumps — the fastest-growing system type in Redmond as homeowners convert away from gas and electric resistance through Energy Smart Eastside.

Electric Resistance Heat — baseboard and wall units common in older downtown Redmond apartments and rentals, often the least efficient system on the block.

Winter no-heat calls in Redmond get top priority on our dispatch board. When the temperature drops and a system quits, we know sitting in a cold house isn’t optional — especially with kids at home or a home office you can’t relocate. Same-day service is the norm, not the exception, from October through March.

Our techs are cross-trained across furnaces, heat pumps, ductless, and electric resistance systems, which matters because Redmond homes run a mix of all four. We show up ready to work on whatever’s installed rather than sending a specialist who only knows one system type. Diagnostics happen first, always — you get a firm price before any parts come off the truck.

Every heating repair in Redmond is backed by a 90-day parts and labor warranty. If the same fault returns in that window, we’re back at zero cost. We also carry the ignitors, flame sensors, blower motors, and control boards behind the majority of no-heat calls in the city, so a second visit is genuinely rare.

For Redmond homeowners on gas furnaces, we also perform a combustion analysis during any significant repair — measuring flue gas temperature, CO levels, and oxygen content to confirm the burner is running cleanly and safely. This isn’t standard on most repair calls but it’s how we catch developing heat exchanger issues before they become carbon monoxide risks.

Our refrigerator stopped properly cooling. While it wasn't completely out. it just wasn't cool enough to keep things fresh. Called Hotwire on Friday. Technician came out Saturday morning. Vlad is a young fellow but very knowledgeable. He quickly diagnosed the problem which was a frozen stuck fan. After removing the freezer tray, he pulled out his magic steamer gadget and defrosted the coils. He did a thorough job cleaning up and putting everything together. Happy to have things running again ahead of Superbowl Sunday.

The team here was great. I had an issue with a dishwasher, they were quick to diagnose it and informed us of reasonable alternatives. We chose to repair it, they ordered the part and installed it. Throughout, they were communicative, helpful, and nice. The price was reasonable as well. I'd go back to them for any appliance issues in the future!

My LG fridge/freezer stopped cooling. I called Rain City around 8pm, and they were able to get a technician out before Noon the next day. After inspecting the problem the tech informed me that the compressor went out, which is a somewhat common problem on LGs. He'd be able to fix it right away if I wanted. Given the labor needed to replace the compressor, I decided to just replace the refrigerator instead.
I was pleased how he explained the issue and presented me with various options. I'd definitely recommend.
