Call Now — (844) 582-179524/7 call line · call to check availability in Spokane
Furnace not igniting or blowing cold
Furnace won't ignite · blowing cold air · short-cycling · burning smell on first startup. In Spokane cold snaps, call right away if freezing weather is forecast — a home without heat risks frozen pipes. If you smell gas, leave the building right away without flipping switches or using phones inside, then call 911 or your gas utility’s emergency line from outside.
AC out, blowing warm, or iced over
Outdoor unit silent · indoor blower running but warm air · ice on the refrigerant lines · short-cycling on/off. Possible causes range from electrical parts (capacitor, contactor) to a refrigerant problem — both need a technician to diagnose.
Banging, screaming, or grinding outdoor unit
Loud bangs · metal-on-metal screaming · grinding or rattling from the outdoor unit. Possible causes include a failing fan motor, a loose blower wheel, or worn compressor bearings. Turn the system off at the thermostat and call a technician.

HVAC in Spokane, WA: local data & sources
Every numerical claim below references a federal, state, or municipal primary source — NOAA climate normals, U.S. Census ACS, the Washington licensing authority, and your local utility's published rebate program.
NOAA NCEI 1991–2020 Normals
Spokane International Airport (KGEG) is the official NOAA reference station. Per the NOAA NCEI U.S. Climate Normals 1991–2020 (station USW00024157), Spokane records an annual mean temperature of 48.6°F, an average annual maximum of 58.0°F against an annual minimum of 39.2°F, approximately 6,462.6 annual heating degree days against only 514.6 cooling degree days, an annual precipitation normal of 16.45 inches, and an annual snowfall normal of 45.4 inches. The roughly 12.6:1 HDD-to-CDD ratio makes Spokane a strongly heating-dominant market. The semi-arid 16-inch precipitation total combined with 45 inches of snowfall is a distinctive Inland Northwest pattern — dry summers with significant winter snow accumulation.
U.S. Census ACS 2023 5-Year
The U.S. Census Bureau ACS 2023 5-year estimates (Tables B25040 and B25035 for Spokane city, Washington) report 96,602 occupied housing units with a median year built of 1961. Heating-fuel distribution: 54.0% utility natural gas (52,230 units), 41.7% electricity (40,314 units), fuel oil/kerosene at 1.3% (1,243 units), and 553 homes using wood (0.6%). The meaningful electric share reflects Pacific Northwest hydroelectric power economics, and the wood-heating presence is characteristic of the Inland Northwest.

The L&I administers examinations and issues licenses statewide. Verify a specific contractor’s current L&I license status before contracting. Primary source: Washington License Lookup.
