AC Repair in Veradale

Veradale is an unincorporated community within Spokane Valley, roughly centered around the 32nd Avenue and Pines Road intersection. It developed heavily in the 1960s through 1980s as suburban growth pushed east along the I-90 corridor. Single-family ranch homes and split-levels dominate the area. It's a stable, established neighborhood where lots of homeowners have been in the same house for 20 or 30 years and are often dealing with original HVAC equipment that's well past its service life.

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.
