Heating Systems We Repair in Tacoma WA

Gas Forced-Air Furnaces
The most common heating system in Tacoma homes with ductwork. We repair all gas furnace brands — igniter failures, heat exchanger cracks, gas valve issues, and blower motor failures are the most frequent calls in Tacoma.

Heat Pump Heating Systems
Heat pumps are highly efficient in Tacoma’s mild-to-cold winter climate and are widely installed. We repair heat pump refrigerant circuit issues, reversing valve failures, defrost board problems, and auxiliary heat staging faults.

Electric Furnaces
Electric resistance furnaces common in older Tacoma homes without gas service. We replace sequencers, heating elements, and limit switches in all electric furnace brands.

Boiler Systems
Hydronic boiler systems with radiators or in-floor radiant heating, common in older Tacoma homes. We repair circulator pumps, zone valves, expansion tanks, and gas valve assemblies.

Ductless Mini-Split Heating
Mini-split heat pump systems for homes without ductwork. We repair all mini-split brands in heating mode.

Hotwire technician repairing residential heat pump in Seattle, WA
We offer same-day heating repair throughout Tacoma — Stadium District, Proctor, North End, Hilltop, South Tacoma, Fircrest and all surrounding areas. No-heat calls are treated as emergencies, especially during Tacoma's wet winter months. We dispatch as fast as possible and carry parts for the most common heating failures — igniters, capacitors, gas valves, and control boards — so most repairs are completed in one visit.
A heating system that won't turn on is usually caused by a failed igniter (gas furnaces), a tripped high-limit safety switch from overheating, a failed control board, a pressure switch fault caused by a blocked condensate drain or inducer motor issue, or a thermostat wiring problem. We systematically test all control and safety components to find the exact cause.
Yes — a cracked heat exchanger allows combustion gases including carbon monoxide to enter your home's airstream. CO is odorless and colorless, making it extremely dangerous. If you smell combustion odors from your vents or your CO detector has alarmed, stop running the furnace and call us. We perform heat exchanger inspections and advise honestly on repair vs. replacement.
Every HotWire heating repair includes a 90-day parts and labor warranty. Same issue within 90 days — we return at no charge.

Had a great experience with this appliance repair team! It was easy to book an appointment and our technician, Ramzes, was very professional and thorough. It only took an hour to fix the issue we were having, and Ramzes was very clear in what had broken, how it was fixed, and how to avoid the issue happening again. Also, it was very easy to pay with a card. Appreciate the ease of this service and recommend this business!

Quick and easy scheduling. Repairman Alex D. was very friendly and polite. They couldn't fix everything with our Sub-Zero refrigerator the same day because they needed to order parts but came back the following week and wrapped it up pretty quickly.

I contacted Hotwire and had technician out next day. Ihor from Hotwire was very professional and did great work on our Kenmore HE 700 Series washing machine. Discovered the pump was failing. He tested thoroughly before recommending the new part be ordered. Part came in quickly and Hotwire scheduled our replacement part service promptly (came in on a Saturday which was a pleasant surprise!)
Thank you Hotwire and Ihor!!

Artem was great! He came by to run a diagnostic on our dishwasher, quickly figured out the issue, and told us exactly what part we needed. As soon as we had it, he came back the next day to fix it, and now it’s working perfectly. Super professional and efficient. Highly recommend!
