For 45 years we’ve been making Puget Sound homes the most healthy, energy efficient and comfortable homes in the country. Our experienced team brings decades of expertise installing and maintaining the most innovative and efficient technology. As a Mitsibushi Cooling and Heating Diamond Contractor, Evergreen Home Heating and Energy has some of the world's most efficient and innovative products available.

"We had Evergreen Home Heating and Energy install a new water heater and furnace, and unfortunately, the quality of their work has been disappointing. Recently, I noticed several issues with the intake and exhaust pipes. Several hanger straps attached to the wall are broken, and one of the joints on the water heater exhaust pipe is leaking water. I suspect this leak is caused by the imbalance due to the broken hanger straps. I expected a professional and reliable installation from Evergreen Home Heating and Energy, but these problems indicate a lack of attention to detail and quality. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Evergreen Home Heating and Energy. If you’re considering them for your home needs, be cautious and perhaps look elsewhere."

Are you looking for Professional Appliance Repair in Seattle, Bellevue, Takoma, Issaquah, Kirkland, Dedmont, Newcastle, and surrounding areas? In this case, you came to the right place! At Professional Appliance Repair we offer expert appliance repair and maintenance services for refrigerators, washing machines, dryers, dishwashers, ranges, ovens stoves, and cooktops, no matter what model number does it have!

"In response to my request for refrigerator repair, the company dispatched a technician to inspect the appliance for the initial fee of $99. The technician recommended replacing the fan due to the simple nature of the refrigerator. Following a follow-up visit a few days later, the technician replaced the fan. However, two days later, the refrigerator/freezer combo unit failed completely, along with the persistent condensation issue. I contacted the company again, and they informed me that the fan needed to be warranted. They had promised to contact me with the replacement part once it was available. Unfortunately, I have not received any updates from them. In the interim, I have been compelled to purchase a new refrigerator to store my groceries. This incident has resulted in a total financial loss of $400, encompassing the failed repair, the groceries that were in the refrigerator at the time of failure, and the cost of the replacement refrigerator."

"AirBest home services were amazing! I am so happy I put in a mini-split/heat pump and am amazed at how quiet it is and effective. Jason is awesome! He was very knowledgeable about rebate programs, made reasonable recommendations (rather than oversell), was quick with the quote, and got me scheduled within a week. He also offered interest free financing for a year! AirBest was $12K less than my second proposal (because they are a small business and more lean). The staff arrived on time, were respectful of my property, were able to problem solve effectively when things didn't go exactly as planned an got my two rooms installed beautifully and professionally in a day as promised! I liked them so much I promoted them to others in my condo complex. Thank you AirBest, can't say enough great things about you."

Wood Stove Inspection questions, answered by experts

You can use normal bricks as cladding for a concrete or clay pizza oven or as a base underneath one. Fire bricks or solid clay bricks are necessary for an outdoor pizza oven’s floor, and you can use clay bricks for the rest of the oven.

No, not all chimneys need a damper. However, most chimneys do, especially in newer homes. Most gas-burning fireplaces cannot function safely without a damper. Only some older wood-burning fireplaces can function safely without one. A chimney without a damper is essentially just an open hole in the roof of your home.

For many people, the primary disadvantage of a gas fireplace insert is that it doesn’t look or smell like a classic wood-burning fire. Additionally, the labor costs of installing a gas insert are higher than some other types of fireplace inserts, including electric and pellet inserts. There are also limitations on where you can install ventless gas fireplaces because they’re banned in certain places (including California).

The best place to install a wood stove is near an outside wall. This makes it easier to route a chimney through the roof than if it were located in the dead center of your house. No combustible materials should be near the wood-burning stove, and depending on the building code, 20 inches to 36 inches of space should be allowed between the side wall and the stove.

The best time to clean your chimney is before you actually need to use it. For most of us, that means getting your chimney cleaned in the spring, summer, or early fall. You may find that chimney sweeps are booked up when the winter months fade and the first round of customers begin to hire them for cleanings, but you also don’t want to wait until too late in the fall when chimney sweeps might be responding to other customers who waited until the last minute. Thus, the safest bet may be the summer.
