AC Repair in Spokane Valley

Spokane Valley incorporated as its own city in 2003, but most of the housing stock is older than that — lots of ranch homes and split-levels built through the 1960s, 70s, and 80s. It's a dense suburban corridor running along I-90 east of Spokane. The area has grown steadily with commercial development along Sprague Avenue and is one of the busier areas for AC service calls in the region.

Spokane summers hit hard. Temperatures in the Inland Northwest regularly climb above 100 degrees in July and August, and an AC unit that quits during a heat wave is a real health problem, not just a comfort issue. A lot of the homes in South Hill and the Garland District were built in the 1960s and 1970s, and the cooling equipment in those houses is either original or was replaced on the cheap. Old refrigerant lines, undersized units, and coils that have never been cleaned are common problems we see every season.

We start by checking the whole system before we tell you what it needs — refrigerant levels, electrical connections, coil condition, and airflow through the ducts. Some contractors skip the full check and just recharge the refrigerant, which is like putting air in a tire that has a nail in it.
