Keeping Auburn Comfortable Year-Round

Auburn's mild but wet climate is deceptive. While you won't face extreme temperatures, the constant moisture creates unique HVAC challenges—from indoor humidity control to increasingly frequent summer heat waves.

Pacific Northwest weather is changing. Heat waves that were rare a decade ago are now regular. Having AC isn't optional anymore.

What Auburn Customers Say

Good prices. These guys really know their trade. They installed a central heating system replacement for my five bedroom home, then installed a mini split system in an ADU six months later. On time. No excuses. How refreshing!!

Auburn HVAC Questions Answered

Find the right HVAC contractor in Auburn. We connect you with licensed, insured professionals who deliver quality service—backed by real customer reviews.

How often should I change my air filter?

Every 1-3 months. Closer to 30 days if you have pets, allergies, or live in a dusty area. A dirty filter makes your system work harder and die sooner. Set a phone reminder.

How do I know if I should repair or replace my system?

General rule: If the repair costs more than half what a new system costs, replace it. Also replace if your system is 15+ years old and breaking down often. We'll give you both options with real numbers - no pressure.

How often should I schedule maintenance?

Twice a year. AC tune-up in spring (March-May). Furnace tune-up in fall (Sept-Nov). Catches problems early and keeps your warranty valid.

Do you offer financing?

Yes, we have several financing packages and monthly payment plans available.

Do I really need AC in the Pacific Northwest?

More than ever. Summer heat waves are getting more intense and frequent. Even in Seattle or Portland, a ductless mini-split or heat pump provides AC for heat waves plus efficient heating for mild winters.

What's the best heating option for Seattle or Portland?

Heat pumps are ideal for the mild, wet climate. They work efficiently down to 25-30°F, covering 95% of Northwest winter days. You'll save significantly over electric baseboard and often beat gas heating costs too.

How do I control indoor humidity in rainy climates?

A whole-house dehumidifier or heat pump with dehumidification mode helps. Pacific Northwest homes can have 70%+ indoor humidity in winter, leading to mold and moisture problems. Target 45-50% humidity year-round.

Do I need a permit for HVAC installation in Auburn?

Yes, HVAC installations in Auburn typically require permits to ensure compliance with Washington State Building Codes. The City of Auburn's Community Development Department handles building permits and inspections, though electrical permits are issued by the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries.

What HVAC companies serve Auburn, Washington?

Auburn has several established HVAC contractors including Griffis Heating (serving the area for over 40 years), City Energy Systems (locally owned for 40+ years), Emerald Aire, Greener Cleaner Heating and Air, and Bob's Heating & Air Conditioning. Many of these companies specialize in furnaces, ductless heat pumps, and boilers.

Are there rebates available for heat pumps in Auburn?

Yes, Auburn residents with Puget Sound Energy (PSE) service can receive up to $2,400 back when switching from a gas furnace to a qualifying heat pump system, or up to $4,000 for cold-climate heat pump systems through the Auburn Pilot Program. Additional state and federal rebates may also be available.

What's the average electric bill in Auburn, WA?

Auburn residents spend approximately $163-259 per month on electricity according to recent data, with rates around $0.18 per kWh. This is roughly 9% lower than the national average, making energy-efficient HVAC systems a smart investment for long-term savings.

Additional incentives are available through Washington State's Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates (HEAR) program and federal Inflation Reduction Act rebates, which can cover 50-100% of project costs up to $14,000 depending on income and upgrades.

Energy Costs in Auburn

Auburn residents pay an average of $163-259 monthly for electricity at approximately $0.18 per kWh, which is 9% below the national average. With typical consumption of 888 kWh monthly, efficient HVAC systems can significantly reduce these costs.
