Know your Seattle house
The June 2021 heat dome pushed Seattle to 108 degrees, and many homes without air conditioning added heat pumps afterward. Old home heating oil tanks, some buried in yards, are a known issue with older Seattle houses, and decommissioning them is common.
Backyard cottages and other accessory units have spread since the city loosened its rules in 2019. Ductwork in older houses was often added after the fact, which leaves some rooms starved for air. Balancing and sealing ducts can help.
Mild, damp weather means heating runs much of the year at low output, and many older homes were built without central air. Heat pumps are a common upgrade. Seattle sits in an earthquake zone, and the city publishes standards for bolting older wood houses to their foundations.
Permits, licenses and your utility
Natural gas in Seattle comes from Puget Sound Energy. Electricity comes from Seattle City Light. If you ever smell gas, leave the building and call the gas utility from outside. Contractors in Washington must register with the Department of Labor and Industries, and HVAC wiring falls under its electrical rules.

Common questions
Is it safe to run my AC if it is making a noise?
Rattles from loose panels are minor. Grinding, squealing or burning smells are not. Turn it off and call.
Why is one room always colder or hotter?
Common causes include leaky or undersized ducts, closed vents, poor insulation or a system that is not balanced. A tech can measure airflow room by room.
Should I repair or replace my furnace?
Age, repair cost and efficiency all matter. A tech can walk you through the numbers, and it is reasonable to ask for a second opinion on a big replacement.
