    Common HVAC Issues in Renton

    Heat pump defrost cycle failures

    Cold Renton winters stress heat pump defrost systems. A failing defrost board can lead to ice buildup and complete system shutdown.

    AC strain during summer heat waves

    When Renton temperatures spike, aging AC systems work overtime and can fail. Pre-summer maintenance catches worn parts before the heat arrives.

    Outdated ductwork in older homes

    Many older Renton homes have undersized or deteriorating ducts that reduce efficiency by 20-30%. Duct sealing or replacement restores proper airflow.

    Tight construction causing air quality problems

    Newer Renton homes are sealed tightly for efficiency, but this can trap indoor pollutants. An ERV or HRV system provides fresh air without losing energy.
