When we complete the work in your home “You’ll Never Want to Leave the Comfort of Home!”

"We went with Greenwood because we heard that they would take care of us, even though they were more expensive. We had a great experience with the first walkthrough with a knowledgable expert, but every interaction since has been poor. We had several issues with the installation; they had to come back several times. Five years later, the water pump with the furnace broke and they take care of it, but it costs $900. They take care of us, but continue to be expensive. I highly recommend avoiding this company and finding a business that knows what their doing and where all technicians care about the customer."

"I requested an HVAC service call quote from G&S Heating through Angi, and received a "deal" via Angi for $129. I chose them partly due to that price. G&S Heating ended up billing me $280, and said that was an old outdated deal and would not honor it. Irresponsible and incredibly poor customer relations. Also, the technician they sent did not seem very knowledgeable or experienced. He said the thermostat reading issue I was having would require another service call and the possible replacement of an expensive circuit board. I ended up fixing the problem myself. I will not be using G&S Heating again."

Washington Energy Services has been helping homeowners throughout Western Washington save money and live more comfortably since 1957. As one of the largest home improvement companies in the Seattle-Tacoma area, we are able to provide you with top-quality products and services, installed by our professional craftsmen. Our free in-home estimates ensure you get the right product for your home. We'll be with you through all aspects of your project from the purchase decision, expert installation, quality maintenance and service, and even warranty work should you need it. We assist with permits and rebates, too. Give Washington Energy Services a call today to learn more or to schedule your service.

"This review is long overdue in my praise of Washington Energy Services for their customer service, pricing and workmanship ! My first interaction was in 1999 when they installed windows throughout my house. They are still in excellent condition. I might note I called them over 20 years later to inquire on how I could repair a broken slider and they sent someone right out, charging a very nominal amount to repair it. In 2020, I needed to replace my hot water tank, and the extremely knowledgeable Christy presented several options, answering my many questions. I settled on one with a booster that seemed to best fit my needs. Finally, in December 2023, I purchased a new gas furnace from WES. I had a minor issue with a fan switch and they responded quickly to rectify the situation. Within the past two months, I seemed to be having an issue with my thermostat (something they had not installed), and the manager, Greg, came out twice with his crew to explore the problem. Today they installed a new thermostat FREE OF CHARGE! Their excellent response and customer service is beyond any company I have hired. And I particularly love that they are family owned and have been around for decades. Their employees seem to be there for the long haul, which speaks highly of the owner. I refer all my friends and family and I won't go anywhere else for services that they offer. Many thanks to the staff I have interacted with over the past 25 years!"

"I won't call any other heating or AC experts ever again. Twice now, I've had incomparable experiences. I had another highly reputed company come diagnose my failed furnace and provide an estimate, but AirPros' price for the same part and repair was much more reasonable and furnace repairs are not cheap, so the difference mattered significantly. AirPros also treated me like family. Go with this family business, you will be happy."

Wood Stove Inspection questions, answered by experts

Ventless and vented gas fireplaces each have their pros and cons. However, if you want to install a fireplace in a room without a chimney, then a vented model might be better (as long as they’re legal in your area, of course). On the other hand, if you have allergies, asthma, or other respiratory sensitivities, then a vented fireplace might be better for your health.

Labor and regional factors contribute to cost variation, but typical rates for thorough cleaning range from $100 to $250, depending on the chimney type.

Both wood stoves and fireplaces are effective at heating, but wood stoves are more efficient, meaning more of the fuel is converted to heat rather than lost. Wood stoves, depending on the capacity, can also heat larger spaces, while fireplaces are better for heating smaller areas, like an individual room.

No, a hot fire won’t burn off creosote that’s already built up. While the warmth of a fire can loosen caked-on creosote, you run the risk of causing a chimney fire. The best way to clean off old creosote is to have your chimney cleaned by a professional chimney sweep.

Yes, you can install a liner in an old chimney that is in good working condition. In fact, it's often necessary for safety and efficiency. Older chimneys may lack liners or have deteriorated ones, leading to heat damage, gas leaks, or reduced performance. Installing a stainless steel, clay tile, or cast-in-place liner improves safety, protects the chimney’s structure, and boosts energy efficiency. This upgrade can extend the life span of an old chimney while meeting modern safety standards.
