We highly recommend Altitude Heating & Cooling for HVAC systems. Justuce and Dylan replaced our 26 year old, 2 HVAC systems in March, 2026 . It was a wonderful experience that we had with them. They were dedicated, attention to details and especially, they care for their customers. Here’s an example. We had a clothes dryer vent that directly blew out to heat pumps and had to clean up occasionally for years. They bought a vent and flex hose for the new location and its perfect location. They didn’t charge for the materials and labor, and it was a surprise gift for us. It was an example of how they care about their customers and take pride in their work. The HVAC systems are expensive. They gave us 3 options to work within our budget to find the right fit for us. I hope this review helps you decide to hire this company to install your house systems. We’re lucky to have Justuce and Dylan. Nice work Gentlemen!

They were very quick and efficient! My job had some duct work, a little bit of roofing, and a little bit of electrical, and they were able to do it all. I am a happy customer.

Emergency HVAC Services in Lake Stevens, WA

We understand how stressful it can be when your HVAC system suddenly stops working. That is why Altitude Heating & Cooling is committed to providing responsive service, honest communication, and dependable solutions for emergency heating and cooling problems.

Our team takes the time to inspect the issue, explain what is happening, and recommend the best path forward for your home. From urgent furnace concerns to AC breakdowns and heat pump issues, we work with care and attention to detail so you can feel confident in the service you receive.

No heat? Check these first

  1. Check the thermostat. Make sure it is set to Heat, set 3 to 5 degrees above room temperature, and has fresh batteries.
  2. Check the power. Make sure the furnace switch near the unit is on and the breaker is not tripped. Reset a tripped breaker once. If it trips again, call us.
  3. Check the air filter. A clogged filter can overheat the furnace and trip a safety switch. Replace it if it looks gray or packed with dust.
  4. Check the furnace door and drain line. The front panel must be fully closed, and a clogged condensate drain can shut down a high-efficiency furnace.
  5. Look for a blinking light. Write down the blink code on the control board. It helps our technician find the problem faster.

Smell gas? Leave the home first, then call your gas utility or 911 from outside. If your carbon monoxide alarm sounds, get everyone out and call 911.

Signs you need emergency HVAC repair

  • No heat and the house is getting cold, especially near freezing.
  • The furnace starts and stops every few minutes and never warms the house.
  • A burning or electrical smell that does not fade after a few minutes.
  • The breaker for the furnace or heat pump trips again after you reset it.
  • Water pooling around the furnace or air handler.
  • The heat pump outdoor unit stays covered in ice or its fan will not spin.

What to expect when you call

When you call 425-201-1998, tell us what the system is doing and whether anyone in the home is very young, elderly or sick. We answer after-hours calls and schedule the earliest visit we can. On site, the technician diagnoses the problem first and gives you the price before any work starts.

If a repair gets the heat back on safely, we make it. If the system is unsafe, such as a furnace with a cracked heat exchanger, we shut it down, explain why and show you your options. Financing is available on new systems. For problems that are not urgent, our $49 HVAC diagnostic and maintenance visit is the best place to start.
