Heating and cooling in Pasco, WA
Pasco is home base. The shop at 325 N Oregon Ave is here, so a call in town starts with a van leaving the lot and ends back at the same tan gable.
The work in Pasco
What a visit looks like here
Air-Tech works out of Pasco, which makes it the one town where the shop is part of the neighborhood. Crews cover the streets around the Road 68 Corridor, Gesa Stadium and Sacajawea Historical State Park, and they work on every make and model, whether the equipment is a Trane, a Mitsubishi or something another contractor put in years ago.
Dust and late-summer wildfire smoke are the local wear items. They clog filters, coat evaporator and condenser coils and cut the airflow a system was sized around, and a starved system runs longer and fails sooner. Plenty of Pasco calls end with a filter change, a coil cleaning and a talk about air cleaning before anyone mentions a new unit.
Summer and winter
What the seasons ask of a system in Pasco
Two inspections a year catch most of this early. The AT Advantage Program puts them on a schedule.
Summer
Summers in Pasco are hot and dry, and an air conditioner can run for hours without a break. The condenser sits outside pulling in dust all season, so clean coils, a correct refrigerant charge and a clear condensate drain decide whether it keeps up on the worst afternoon of July.
Winter
Winter asks for long, steady runs on a furnace or heat pump. Fall is the time to have the ignition parts, blower, flue and filter checked, and heat pump owners should know what a defrost cycle sounds like so a normal noise never gets mistaken for a fault.
