“My wife and I want to commend the ACT team for their care and personability on this project. The supervisor Mark was attentive and reachable by text to help us navigate the pre/on site/post install process. Kyle was an enthusiastic customer focused bidder and technician. He and his assistant worked fast and studiously and were courteous throughout the 2-day process of installing an attic handler and two wall mini-splits.”

Before you call
What people ask the front desk
Yes. ACT offers 24 hour emergency HVAC service. The office is open Monday to Friday, 8:00am to 5:00pm, and for an urgent need you can call (509) 388-2997.
We service and repair all makes and models. We install, service and maintain Mitsubishi (we are a Mitsubishi Double Diamond dealer), Trane and American Standard equipment, and provide warranty service for those brands.

Ductless systems suit homes without existing central air, additions, and rooms that run hot or cold. An outdoor heat pump connects to wall, ceiling or floor units in the rooms that need them, with no ductwork, which can save close to 30% of the energy normally lost through ducts.
We are Wattsmart and Cascade Natural Gas qualified trade allies, so we can walk you through the Pacific Power and Cascade Natural Gas rebates available for your system. You may also qualify for financing through Synchrony, Wells Fargo or Craft3.
