Heating repair in Kirkland, explained in 30 seconds
Green House Plumbing and Heating repairs every common home heating system in Kirkland: gas furnaces, heat pumps, hot water boilers, ductless mini-splits and thermostats. We are based at 12040 98th Ave NE in Kirkland (98034), work Monday to Saturday from 7 am to 9 pm, and offer same-day appointments when available.
Most no-heat calls come down to one failed part, such as an igniter, flame sensor, pressure switch, capacitor, circulator pump or a thermostat problem. A licensed technician finds the cause, gives you an upfront price and fixes it on the first visit whenever the part is on the truck.
Not sure what kind of system you have? That is fine. Tell us what it is doing and we will work it out. For system-specific help, see furnace repair and maintenance or heat pump repair and installation.
House cold? Check these five things before you call
These checks fix a surprising number of no-heat calls. If they do not, call us and keep the family warm while you wait.
- If you smell gas, do not fix anything. Leave the house, do not use switches or phones inside, and call 911 or PSE from outside.
- Check the thermostat. Set it to Heat, a few degrees above room temperature. Replace the batteries if the screen is blank.
- Check breakers and the furnace switch. Look for a tripped breaker and make sure the light-style switch near the furnace or air handler is on.
- Replace a dirty filter. A clogged filter can make a furnace overheat and shut off, or a heat pump freeze up.
- Stay warm safely. Use electric space heaters with care, never a gas oven or grill indoors. Open cabinet doors on outside walls in a hard freeze.

Repair your heating system or replace it?
We price both options and tell you which one we would choose in your home.
Repair usually makes sense when
- A single part failed, such as an igniter, sensor or capacitor
- The furnace is under about 15 years old
- The heat pump or boiler has been reliable until now
- The repair costs far less than a new system
Replacement usually makes sense when
- The furnace is 15 to 20 years old or more
- The heat exchanger is cracked
- You are paying for repairs every winter
- You want efficient heat and summer cooling from a heat pump
| System | Common repair | Typical sign |
|---|---|---|
| Gas furnace | Igniter, flame sensor, inducer motor, pressure switch | No heat or short cycling |
| Heat pump | Capacitor, contactor, defrost control, refrigerant leak | Cool air, ice that does not clear |
| Hot water boiler | Circulator pump, expansion tank, pressure relief valve | Cold radiators, dripping valve |
| Ductless mini-split | Sensor, board, drain, dirty coil | Blinking lights, water dripping |

What Kirkland homeowners should know about heating repair
Kirkland winters are usually mild and wet, with occasional cold snaps and windstorms that knock out power.
The first cold week is the busiest
Systems that sat all summer often fail on the first cold night in fall. A tune-up in September or October catches weak igniters, capacitors and sensors before then.
Power outages stop gas furnaces too
A gas furnace needs electricity for its igniter, inducer and blower. After an Eastside windstorm, reset the thermostat and furnace switch once power returns, and call us if it will not restart.
Many homes have mixed systems
Older Kirkland homes in Norkirk, Market and Houghton often have a furnace plus baseboard heaters or a boiler, while newer homes and townhomes, such as many around Totem Lake, more often have heat pumps. We work on all of them.
Heat pumps run all year here
Because our winters are mild, more Kirkland homes rely on heat pumps for heat and cooling. That means more wear, so a yearly check matters.

- Fix and testWe repair it and run a full heating cycle.

Why is my heater running but the house is still cold?
The most common causes are a clogged filter, leaky or closed ducts, a furnace that has locked out after failed ignition, or a heat pump that is low on refrigerant or stuck in defrost. Check the filter and thermostat first, then call us.
Do you offer emergency heating repair in Kirkland?
We offer same-day appointments when available, Monday to Saturday from 7 am to 9 pm. If you smell gas or a CO alarm sounds, leave the house and call 911 first.
Do you repair boilers and radiant heat?
Yes. We repair hot water boilers, circulator pumps, expansion tanks, relief valves and zone valves, and we bleed and balance radiator systems.
How much does heating repair cost?
It depends on the part and the system. We diagnose first and give you an upfront price before any work starts, so there are no surprises. Check our coupons before you book.
How often should my heating system be serviced?
Once a year, ideally in early fall. Heat pumps that also cool in summer benefit from a spring check too. Change filters every one to three months during heating season.
Is it worth repairing an old furnace?
If it is under about 15 years old and the repair is modest, usually yes. If it is 15 to 20 years old, the heat exchanger is cracked or repairs keep coming back, replacement is often the better value.
What should I do if my carbon monoxide alarm goes off?
Get everyone outside and call 911. Do not restart the heating system until a technician has inspected the venting and the heat exchanger.
Which areas near Kirkland do you serve?
All Kirkland neighborhoods, including Juanita, Finn Hill, Kingsgate, Totem Lake, Rose Hill, Houghton and Bridle Trails, plus nearby Redmond, Bothell, Woodinville and Kenmore.
