Air Conditioning Repair, Installation & Replacement

Resicon provides air conditioning repair, installation, replacement, and tune-ups for Kent homes. If your system is blowing warm air, short cycling, or struggling to keep up, our technicians can diagnose the issue and walk you through your options before any work begins.

East Hill sits at a noticeably higher elevation than the valley floor below it, and homes up there tend to get more direct afternoon sun with less tree cover than the older neighborhoods closer to downtown. That difference alone can change what size system a home actually needs.

Furnace Repair, Installation & Replacement

A dependable furnace matters once Kent’s cool, wet winters set in. Resicon handles furnaces repair, installation, replacement, and seasonal tune-ups, diagnosing weak airflow, cold spots, and unusual noises so you know whether a repair or a new system makes more sense.

West Hill’s established neighborhoods along the I-5 corridor include a lot of homes built well before today’s insulation and efficiency standards existed. A furnace that’s struggling to keep a drafty, older West Hill house warm isn’t always a sign the unit itself has failed, and our team can tell you honestly which one it is.

Heat Pump Installation & Repair

A heat pump handles both heating and cooling from a single system, which makes it a popular upgrade for Kent homeowners looking to cut utility costs. Resicon is a Mitsubishi Diamond Elite Contractor, and we install, repair, and maintain heat pumps with honest guidance on what your equipment needs.

Panther Lake’s mix of established homes and newer infill has made it one of the more active areas we see for heat pump conversions, as homeowners replace older electric resistance heat with something that handles both sides of the season. Consistent maintenance is what keeps a heat pump from freezing up once it’s carrying that extra load.

Mini-Split & Ductless HVAC Services

Resicon is an NW Ductless Master Installer, and we install, repair, and maintain ductless systems for additions, converted spaces, and rooms that traditional ductwork never reaches well. Ductless systems give you room-by-room control without tearing into walls or ceilings.

Scenic Hill’s older homes and detached structures are a common fit for ductless, since a lot of the additions and converted garages in the neighborhood were never connected to the original heating system. A ductless head solves that without opening up walls to extend ductwork that was never designed to reach that far.

HVAC Maintenance Plans

Routine maintenance keeps your heating and cooling system running efficiently and helps you avoid a breakdown at the worst possible time. Resicon offers maintenance visits that include a full system inspection, filter check, and a look for early signs of wear.

Kent Cornucopia Days takes over downtown every July, and it’s a useful annual marker for homeowners citywide: if your AC hasn’t been serviced since the last street fair rolled through, that’s a reasonable cue to get it inspected before the hottest stretch of summer arrives.

Commercial HVAC Services

Resicon provides commercial services heating and cooling for offices, warehouses, and light industrial and commercial properties throughout Kent’s valley floor, home to one of the region’s largest concentrations of distribution and manufacturing space since Boeing’s Kent Space Center arrived in the 1960s. Our team can inspect a system, identify what’s driving a performance issue, and lay out the options clearly.

We’re a competitively-bid preferred vendor for the King County Housing Authority, Pierce County Human Services, and the Seattle HomeWise program, and since Kent itself sits inside King County, that relationship covers commercial and multifamily work right in the city we’re serving, not just a credential from somewhere else in the region.

Indoor Air Quality Services

Kent’s Green River Valley flooded regularly for decades before the Howard A. Hanson Dam was completed in 1962, and the high water table that history left behind still shapes how humidity moves through valley-floor homes today. Resicon provides indoor air quality solutions, including filtration, humidity control, and ventilation improvements, to help with dust, musty odors, and stale air.

Our staff hold Building Performance Institute Building Analyst and air-sealing certifications, credentials built out through weatherization work with the Puget Sound Energy Contractor Alliance Network, and that training shapes how we approach IAQ in homes dealing with valley-floor moisture specifically.

Electrical Repair, Wiring & Panel Services

Flickering lights, tripped breakers, and warm outlets are signs your electrical system needs a look. Resicon handles electrical repair, rewiring, panel upgrades, and troubleshooting with WA-licensed electricians who can explain what’s happening before recommending a fix.

Kent’s physical footprint grew from about one square mile in 1953 to nearly 13 square miles by 1960, as the city annexed land during a rapid postwar growth boom. A lot of homes from that stretch are still running electrical panels sized for a much lighter load than a modern household actually draws, and we can tell you honestly whether yours needs an upgrade.

Whole-House Generator Services

Puget Sound windstorms can knock out power for hours or days at a time, and a standby generator keeps a Kent home running through it. Resicon installs and services [residential-generators] sized to cover the essentials or the whole house, so a storm doesn’t mean a scramble.

A March 2026 windstorm left Puget Sound Energy reporting roughly 35,500 customers without power region-wide, and Kent sits squarely in PSE’s service territory. A generator sized ahead of time means the next one is an inconvenience instead of an emergency.

Plumbing Repair Services

From leaking fixtures to low water pressure, Resicon provides plumbing repair, installation, and maintenance for Kent homes, with licensed plumbers who can inspect the issue and explain what’s causing it before recommending a repair.

Kent incorporated in 1890, making it the second city in King County after Seattle, and the homes and infrastructure closest to downtown reflect well over a century of layered plumbing work. Untangling what’s actually original versus what’s been patched over the decades is often the real first step in any repair.

Water Heater Repair, Installation & Replacement

Reliable hot water shouldn’t be something you have to think about. Resicon provides water heaters repair, installation, replacement, and maintenance, diagnosing sediment buildup, worn components, and sizing issues so you know whether a repair or replacement makes more sense.

The Lakes neighborhood’s established homes often still have their original water heater setup, even in houses where the rest of the plumbing has been updated over time. Equipment that old is usually closer to the end of its service life than most homeowners realize.

Drain Cleaning & Sewer Services

Slow drains and recurring clogs usually point to a bigger issue than a single blockage. Resicon provides drain cleaning, hydro jetting, and sewer camera inspections to clear buildup and identify what’s causing a backup before it becomes a bigger problem.

The Green River Valley’s soil is built on thousands of years of river deposits, including debris from an ancient Mount Rainier mudflow that reshaped the valley floor. That dense, clay-heavy ground shifts more than typical soil, and it’s a real factor in why sewer lines in the valley settle, crack, or develop backups over time.

Pipe Replacement & Repiping

Corroded or failing pipes cause leaks, discolored water, and repeat plumbing problems. Resicon provides repiping using durable copper and PEX materials to replace pipes that are past their useful life, whether it’s one section or a full home.

The same postwar growth boom that left a lot of Kent homes with undersized electrical panels also left many of them with original galvanized supply lines. Decades later, those pipes are typically corroding from the inside in ways that don’t show up until water pressure drops or water starts to look discolored.

Why Kent Homeowners Choose Resicon

Resicon has been named to the Inc. 5000, Inc. Magazine’s list of the fastest-growing private companies in the country, in 2019, 2020, and 2024, and co-owner Vielka Ansari was individually recognized on Inc.’s 2024 Female Founders 250 list. The company traces back to 2013, when Ansari and co-founder Craig Christensen, who met working together at a construction company, took out a small business loan and built what has since grown into a 40-plus employee operation running eight crews a day across the Puget Sound region. Kent reviews consistently name specific technicians, including Craig, Blake, and Andrew, for professionalism and clear communication, the kind of detail that’s hard to manufacture across hundreds of reviews.

Kent, WA HVAC, Plumbing & Electrical Questions, Answered

Kent’s Green River Valley sits on old flood-plain soil. Does that affect my sewer line?

Often, yes. The valley’s dense, clay-heavy soil shifts more over time than typical ground, which puts extra stress on buried pipe joints and can lead to cracks, settling, or root intrusion at weak points. If you’re dealing with recurring backups in a valley-floor home, a sewer camera inspection is the most reliable way to see what’s actually happening underground.

My East Hill home stays warm in the afternoon even with the AC running. What’s going on?

This is common on East Hill given the elevation and sun exposure up there. It can point to a system that’s undersized for the home’s actual heat gain, a dirty condenser coil struggling in direct sun, or ductwork losing cool air before it reaches the rooms that need it most. A technician can measure your home’s actual cooling load rather than guessing based on square footage alone.

Does Resicon handle HVAC for Kent’s warehouses and distribution centers?

Yes. Beyond residential work, Resicon provides commercial HVAC installation, repair, and maintenance for the warehouses, light manufacturing space, and distribution facilities that make up a large share of Kent’s valley floor, along with offices and multifamily properties throughout the city.

My breaker trips whenever the AC and microwave run at the same time. Is that a panel problem?

It can be, especially in older Kent homes with a panel sized for a lighter electrical load than modern households actually use. It could also be a circuit that’s simply overloaded rather than a panel-wide issue. An electrician can test your panel’s actual capacity and tell you whether the fix is a new circuit, a breaker swap, or a full panel upgrade.

Are there Puget Sound Energy rebates for heat pump installation in Kent?

PSE has offered rebates in the range of $1,500 to $4,400 for qualifying heat pump conversions, with higher amounts available for income-qualified households. As of April 2026, PSE requires installation by an approved contractor for certain rebate tiers, and program details change, so it’s worth confirming current eligibility and requirements when you schedule.

How much water pressure loss means it’s time to consider repiping in an older Kent home?

A gradual, home-wide drop in pressure, especially paired with discolored water or pipes that feel warm to the touch even on the cold line, usually points to internal corrosion rather than a single leak. A sudden, isolated drop is more often a specific clog or break. A plumber can pressure-test your system to tell you which situation you’re actually dealing with.

Does Kent’s flood history affect where I can install a generator?

It can. Older flood-prone areas of the valley floor may have specific placement or elevation considerations for a generator and its transfer switch, even with modern flood control from the Howard Hanson Dam reducing the risk. We can evaluate your property and site the unit somewhere that makes sense for both convenience and any drainage patterns specific to your lot.

My ductless system in The Lakes area shuts off when it gets really cold. Is that normal?

Some shutoff in extreme cold can be normal for an older or undersized ductless unit, but a modern cold-climate heat pump shouldn’t lose heating capacity in typical Puget Sound winter temperatures. If yours is cutting out, it’s worth having a technician check whether the unit is rated for the cold snaps we actually get here, since not every ductless system on the market is.
