Why local expertise matters for HVAC in Renton, WA

Renton homes face distinct challenges: sustained damp winters that increase condensation and corrosion risk, older duct systems in mid-century and Craftsman houses that reduce efficiency, and growing adoption of heat pumps as residents move away from fossil-fuel heating. Local knowledge helps prioritize moisture management, right-size equipment for typical Renton square footage and elevation, and design ductwork or ductless solutions that work with narrow crawlspaces and retrofit constraints common in the area.

Common HVAC problems in Renton and what causes them

  • Insufficient heating in winter: Often caused by aging furnaces, undersized heat pumps, clogged filters, or leaky ducts that lose conditioned air before it reaches living spaces.  
  • Uneven cooling during warm spells: Duct leaks, poor system sizing, or rooms without supply registers lead to hot and cold spots.  
  • High energy bills: Dirty coils, failing components, poor airflow, and systems operating outside recommended efficiency result in increased electricity use—especially when heat pumps work harder during shoulder seasons.  
  • Frequent short cycling or system shutdowns: Electrical faults, thermostat miscalibration, refrigerant issues, or safety switches triggered by airflow problems can cause reliability issues.  
  • Excess humidity and indoor air quality concerns: Persistent dampness in basements and crawlspaces can impact overall comfort; HVAC systems designed without humidity control may not meet Renton’s wet-season needs.

Our diagnostic and service process

  • Thorough inspection: Every call begins with a systematic inspection—visual checks of the equipment, filter condition, ductwork, vent performance, electrical connections, and thermostat calibration.  
  • Performance testing: We measure airflow, static pressure, refrigerant charge, temperature splits, and system cycling to identify root causes rather than just symptoms.  
  • Clear findings and options: After diagnostics, you receive a straightforward explanation of issues, recommended remedies, and comparisons of repair versus replacement where applicable. Recommendations consider energy performance, expected lifespan, and local weather patterns.  
  • Transparent installation and repair plans: For repairs we outline parts and labor needs; for replacements we detail system sizing, proposed equipment (including efficiency ratings and compatibility with ductwork), and the installation timeline.

Installations: choosing the right system for Renton

  • Heat pump installation: Heat pumps are often the most efficient choice for Renton’s mild climate. We evaluate electric heat pumps and cold-climate models to maintain reliable heat during the wet, cool months while providing efficient cooling in summer.  
  • Ductless/minisplit systems: Ideal for older homes without central ductwork or for room additions. Ductless systems offer zone control and minimal structural disruption, a strong match for many Renton retrofits.  
  • Duct design and replacement: Proper duct design reduces energy loss and improves comfort. We design ducts to accommodate low-clearance spaces, seal and insulate runs vulnerable to condensation, and balance airflow for even conditioning.  
  • AC and furnace replacements: Where traditional split systems are still appropriate, we select equipment sized to local heating and cooling loads with attention to humidity control and noise reduction.

Repairs, same-day service, and emergency response

  • Common repairs: Compressor or blower motor replacement, refrigerant recharge, control board repairs, ignition and gas valve service for furnaces, and duct sealing.  
  • Same-day availability and 24/7 emergency service: Recognizing Renton’s weather and the need for timely comfort restoration, we offer expedited service windows and around-the-clock emergency response for critical failures. Service protocols prioritize safety checks and temporary measures to protect your home while scheduling permanent repairs.

  • Member benefits: Priority scheduling, discounted diagnostic fees and repairs, a written service report with recommended next steps, and extended equipment performance tracking.  
  • Flexible options: Multiple plan tiers accommodate single systems, multi-zone setups, and combined residential-commercial properties without disclosing specific pricing on this page.

Benefits of timely service and seasonal preparation

Regular maintenance and timely repairs improve comfort, reduce energy costs, extend equipment life, and lower the risk of emergency breakdowns during Renton’s cold, wet months. Seasonal tune-ups before winter and after summer protect components from moisture-related corrosion, ensure safe operation, and keep indoor air quality within recommended ranges.

Practical tips for Renton homeowners

  • Replace or clean filters every 1–3 months during high-use seasons.  
  • Monitor humidity and use ventilation or dehumidification when condensation appears.  
  • Keep outdoor units clear of debris, leaves, and grading that directs water toward equipment.  
  • Consider a ductless option for basement or addition zones where extending ductwork is impractical.

Customer Testimonials

Our customers consistently praise our exceptional service and attention to detail, highlighting the positive impact we've had on their experiences.

Green Head Heating did the HVAC on our large new construction custom home. They have more than taken care of us from start to finish. Everything was VERY well thought out. They were knowledgable with energy credits, which is often times missed! This was a trade that was very important to us as it is inside your walls. I am certain we have the BEST system. They truly didn’t miss anything! Would highly recommend!

Brittany A.

Ryan has the exact experience to make sure you’re getting the climate control that your home needs. His knowledge is extensive and he always has an answer to every question and on top of that he’s pleasant to work with. Ryan and his main tech Tristan have done many high quality HVAC installs that I have seen in the last year and I couldn’t imagine trusting anyone else for the job. Thank you, Greenheads!

Karlan S.

We decided to replace our very old gas furnace with a newer and hopefully quieter furnace.  We contacted Greenhead because they were a smaller, local business.  Everything about the process was excellent.  Best of all the furnace is exceptionally quiet.  Thanks Greenhead.

Bruce R.

Would recommend! Our heat cut out during a cold snap - I called Greenhead the next morning and Ryan was at my house the same afternoon. He quickly diagnosed a faulty switch in our furnace and was back that evening with a new part! Pricing was reasonable, especially given the urgency.

Eamonn K.

I had Greenhead out to do service on my gas furnace and heat pump. Ryan was very professional and helpful. The service was very reasonably priced even though they were there in the evening! I would recommend them to anyone.

Lindsay P.

Came same day when we had no heat. Worked quickly to find the issue while explaining everything he was doing. Really took the time to make us feel like a valued customer not just a number. Also the pricing was very fair which in todays economy is always so helpful... we will be using this company for all future heating needs
