What HVAC, Plumbing & Electrical Services Does Resicon Offer in Olympia, WA?

Olympia mixes historic buildings near Sylvester Park, waterfront blocks along Percival Landing, and houses built in every decade since. No two systems match, so we look at what is actually installed before we recommend a repair, a replacement, or nothing at all.

Furnace Repair, Installation & Replacement
A furnace that will not light, short-cycles, or blows cool air gets traced to its cause by Resicon: igniter, flame sensor, control board, blower, or heat exchanger. You then see repair and replacement options side by side. Furnace installation is sized to the home’s heating load, with the existing ducts and venting checked first.
When the house goes cold on a damp Olympia evening, you want an answer you can act on. We explain what failed, what it costs to fix, and when replacement makes more sense than another repair.
Heat Pump Installation, Repair & Maintenance
Heat pumps are a large part of our Olympia work. Resicon installs heat pumps, repairs ones that ice up or lose output, and runs seasonal maintenance visits that keep them efficient. As a Mitsubishi Diamond Elite Contractor, we install ducted and ductless equipment and walk through what each option does in your home.
Olympia customers who wrote to us about heat pump maintenance mention technicians who explained each step and left the system running well. A yearly visit is the simplest way to catch a dirty coil or low airflow before the first cold week.
Air Conditioning Repair, Installation & Replacement
If the AC runs but the house never cools, Resicon checks refrigerant, coils, airflow, and controls before proposing a fix. We repair and replace air conditioning equipment and size new systems with a load calculation rather than matching the old unit.
When an older unit is failing, we compare a like-for-like swap with a heat pump that covers both seasons.
Ductless Mini-Split Installation & Repair
A ductless mini-split conditions one room or zone with no ducts involved. Resicon is an NW Ductless Master Installer, so we can design, install, and maintain ductless systems for basements, additions, converted garages, and homes with no duct runs.
If your Olympia home has no practical path for new ducts, a ductless head can serve a single room or an entire floor without opening finished walls.
HVAC Maintenance Plans
On each maintenance visit, a technician inspects the heating and cooling equipment, checks filters, airflow, and electrical safety, watches for early wear, and tells you what was found in everyday language.
A simple rhythm works: a checkup in early fall before the furnace or heat pump carries the winter, and another in spring before cooling season. Many Olympia customers tie it to something they already do each year.
Water Heater Repair, Installation & Replacement
No hot water, lukewarm water, or a wet floor around the tank all call for a fast diagnosis. [Company-name] repairs, replaces, and installs water heaters, including tank models, tankless units, and heat pump water heaters, and recommends repair or replacement based on the unit’s age and the cost of the fix.
Our plumbers and electricians work together on heat pump water heaters, so the dedicated circuit and the plumbing connections are handled in one visit.
Plumbing Repair & Leak Detection
Olympia homeowners search for a plumber when a faucet will not stop dripping, pressure drops, a toilet keeps running, or a ceiling stain shows up. Plumbing repair at Resicon starts by finding the real cause, and our leak detection service locates hidden water before it turns into damage.
You get the diagnosis and the price options before any work starts. That is the same approach whether the call is a small fixture repair or a pipe inside a wall.
Drain Cleaning & Sewer Services
Slow drains and repeat clogs are handled with drain cleaning that includes hydro jetting for heavy buildup and camera inspections that show the pipe’s condition. If the camera shows a cracked or collapsed pipe, the next step is a repair or full sewer line replacement, with trenchless work offered when the site suits it.
Buying an older home downtown or near the waterfront? A sewer scope before closing shows what a walkthrough cannot. Inside the city, water and sewer service are run by the City of Olympia, so we help you work out whether a problem sits in your line or at the connection.
Pipe Replacement & Repiping
A repipe puts new copper or PEX in place of tired supply lines, either in phases or across the whole house. Ask about repiping when water runs discolored, pressure keeps falling, or leaks appear in different places.
For older Olympia homes, we identify the pipe material first and judge its condition before suggesting any work. Some lines only need a repair.
Electrical Repair, Wiring & Panel Services
Washington-licensed electricians on our crews take on electrical troubleshooting and repair, panel upgrades, EV charger wiring, and dedicated circuits for heat pumps and heat pump water heaters. You hear what they found before any fix is proposed.
Many Olympia homeowners are adding a heat pump, a charger, or both. Our first step is a look at the panel’s spare capacity, so the upgrade fits the new equipment.
Whole-House Generator Services
Resicon sets up standby generators that automatically carry either a short list of critical circuits or the full house, wired through a transfer switch at your panel.
Puget Sound Energy serves Thurston County, and a standby generator can keep the furnace, refrigerator, and sump pump running during an outage. The real question is how much of the house the generator should carry, and we help you answer it.
Whole-House Humidifier, Dehumidifier & Indoor Air Quality
Humidity problems show up as dry winter air, condensation on windows, or a musty smell. We install whole-house humidifiers and dehumidifiers tied into your existing HVAC system, and our indoor air quality work also covers whole-home filtration and ventilation.
Our team holds Building Performance Institute Building Analyst and air-sealing certifications earned through utility weatherization programs. That training helps us see how air, moisture, and equipment work together instead of treating each complaint alone.
Commercial HVAC Services
Business owners can rely on Resicon for commercial heating and cooling in offices, shops, and similar spaces: service calls, equipment swaps, new installs, and scheduled upkeep, each with a straight account of the cause.
Olympia’s commercial properties range from downtown storefronts to offices that support the Capitol community. We are a competitively-bid preferred vendor for Pierce County Human Services, which reflects how we handle public-sector work.
Why Olympia Homeowners Choose Resicon
The Inc. 5000 has named Resicon three times, in 2019, 2020, and 2024, and co-owner Vielka Ansari was recognized on Inc.’s 2024 Female Founders 250 list. Ansari and co-founder Craig Christensen met at a construction company and started the business in 2013 with a small business loan. It is now a team of more than 40 employees running eight crews a day. Olympia reviews name technicians such as Jason, Bryan, Chase, Ben, and Mark and describe clear explanations and tidy work, which is hard to fake across hundreds of reviews.
Olympia, WA HVAC, Plumbing & Electrical Questions, Answered
How much does it cost to run a heat pump in Olympia compared with a furnace?
It depends on your electricity rate, the heat pump’s efficiency rating, your home’s insulation, and what you heat with now. We calculate your home’s heating load and compare the equipment options so you can see the difference for your house before you commit. A properly sized heat pump handles both heating and cooling.
Should I repair or replace my aging furnace or heat pump in Olympia?
Start with how old the equipment is and how often it has needed work, then compare the repair bill to the efficiency and dependability of a new system. A single bad part in a newer system is normally a repair. Frequent breakdowns or a big-ticket failure on an aging system tend to tip the decision toward replacing it. We lay out both paths for your equipment.
Do you offer whole-house humidifier or dehumidifier installation in Olympia?
Yes. We install whole-house humidifiers and dehumidifiers that connect to your existing HVAC system. A technician checks your equipment, ductwork, and the humidity problem you are seeing, then recommends the right unit and where it should be installed.
My Olympia water heater is leaking or has no hot water. Repair or replace?
A leak from the tank body usually means replacement. Leaks at fittings, a failed heating element, or a bad thermostat can often be repaired. Once we know where the water is coming from, we price a repair against a new unit and weigh the heater’s age.
Do you clear drains and handle sewer line repair in Olympia?
Yes. We clear clogs with cleaning and hydro jetting, run camera inspections to see the pipe’s condition, and repair or replace damaged sewer lines, including trenchless methods where the pipe and the site allow. The footage decides the path.
Why does my AC run but not cool my Olympia home?
The usual suspects are a refrigerant shortage, grimy coils, poor airflow from a clogged filter or leaky ductwork, or a system that was undersized from the start. Measuring refrigerant, airflow, and coil condition shows which problem it is.
Can I install a heat pump if my Olympia home has no ducts?
Yes. A ductless mini-split heats and cools without ductwork, and we can lay out single-zone or multi-zone systems for older homes, additions, and finished basements. We check electrical capacity at the same visit.
Do you serve Lacey and Tumwater as well as Olympia?
We serve Olympia and nearby Thurston County communities. Share your address by calling 253-527-7244 or through request service online and we will confirm coverage.
Which rebates apply to a heat pump or heat pump water heater in Olympia?
PSE, which serves Thurston County, runs rebate programs for qualifying heat pumps and heat pump water heaters. The amount you receive turns on the equipment being replaced and your household. Terms shift from year to year, so check PSE’s current rebate pages before you sign anything. Tell us which program you have in mind and we will match equipment to it.

Ben and Mark and the electrician crew were absolure pro's and did beautiful work. Kind and considerate. Totally recommend Resicon 100 per cent.”
I called the office recently to see if they knew of any installers in another state, because a relative wants a SanCO2 for an ADU they are building. (I was unable to find the info. with an internet search.) Chase was kind enough to research that info. for me, and then he called me back promptly with a recommendation. Thank you so much…that was great service!!”
