Air Conditioning Repair, Installation & Replacement

Resicon provides air conditioning repair, installation, replacement, and tune-ups for Tacoma 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.

A lot of Tacoma’s West End was built out in the postwar decades, when Puget Sound summers rarely justified central air. That’s changed. Homes in the area are increasingly being retrofitted for cooling, and sizing the system correctly for a house that was never designed around AC takes more judgment than a generic install.

Furnace Repair, Installation & Replacement

A dependable furnace matters once Tacoma’s cool, damp 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.

The Stadium District’s homes date mostly to 1888 through 1930, built on the bluff above Commencement Bay in styles like Queen Anne and Colonial Revival. A furnace serving one of these older, larger homes has to work harder than one in a newer, tightly-built house, and our team can tell you honestly whether yours is still up to the job.

Heat Pump Installation & Repair

A heat pump handles both heating and cooling from a single system, which makes it a popular upgrade for Tacoma homeowners investing in energy efficiency. Resicon is a Mitsubishi Diamond Elite Contractor, and we install, repair, and maintain heat pumps with honest guidance on what your equipment needs.

Proctor District homeowners have been especially active in swapping out older equipment for heat pumps in recent years, drawn by the neighborhood’s walkable, close-in feel and a general push toward lower utility bills. Consistent seasonal maintenance is what keeps a heat pump from freezing up or short cycling once it’s doing double duty.

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.

Hilltop’s mix of older single-family homes, converted duplexes, and infill additions means a lot of rooms in the neighborhood were built or repurposed long after the original heating system went in. A ductless system is often the cleaner fix than trying to extend ductwork that was never meant 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.

The Daffodil Festival’s Grand Floral Parade rolls down Pacific Avenue every April, and it’s a useful annual marker for Tacoma homeowners: if your AC hasn’t been serviced since the daffodils last bloomed, that’s a reasonable cue to get it inspected before summer demand hits.

Commercial HVAC Services

Resicon provides commercial services heating and cooling for offices, retail spaces, and light commercial and multifamily properties throughout downtown Tacoma and the Theater District. 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, work that requires meeting the documentation and reliability standards public agencies expect, not just what a private landlord might ask for.

Indoor Air Quality Services

Tacoma sits right on Commencement Bay, and that maritime exposure brings a level of humidity and salt air that inland Puget Sound communities don’t deal with as directly. 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 as a Tacoma Public Utilities Trade Ally, and that training shapes how we approach IAQ in Tacoma homes 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.

The North Slope Historic District’s roughly 950 homes are nearly 80 percent pre-1930, built across three separate construction booms between 1888 and 1929. Original electrical systems from that era, including knob-and-tube wiring, were never built for the load a modern household puts on them, and our electricians can walk you through what an honest upgrade actually looks like.

Whole-House Generator Services

Puget Sound windstorms can knock out power for hours or days at a time, and a standby generator keeps a Tacoma 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 single December 2025 windstorm left more than 25,000 Pierce County residents without power, with Tacoma Public Utilities alone reporting outages affecting over 4,000 customers at one point, many of them in South Tacoma neighborhoods. 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 Tacoma homes, with licensed plumbers who can inspect the issue and explain what’s causing it before recommending a repair.

Old Town, where Job Carr built Tacoma’s first cabin back in 1865, is still home to some of the city’s oldest buildings and infrastructure. Plumbing in a neighborhood with that much history often means working around materials and layouts a newer home would never have, and our plumbers know the difference between a quick fix and a job that needs a fuller rework.

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.

McKinley Hill’s established mid-century homes often still have their original water heater setups, even after other systems in the house have been updated over the years. 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.

Wright Park’s 27-acre arboretum holds more than 600 trees, some over a century old, and it’s a good reminder of how much mature tree cover sits above Tacoma’s older sewer lines citywide. Root intrusion into aging clay or cast iron pipe is one of the more common causes of recurring backups we see on Tacoma calls, and it’s usually not something a basic snake-and-clear fully resolves.

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 Wedge, one of Tacoma’s other historic districts, shares the same building-era challenges as its neighboring North Slope: homes old enough that their original supply lines are usually galvanized steel, not copper. After decades of service, those pipes corrode from the inside in ways that aren’t visible from outside the wall, which is often the real explanation behind a sudden drop in water pressure.

Why Tacoma 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’s roots trace 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 area. Tacoma reviews consistently single out specific technicians by name, including Jason, Garrett, and John, for honest work and clear communication rather than pushing add-ons, the kind of detail that’s hard to manufacture across hundreds of reviews.

Tacoma, WA HVAC, Plumbing & Electrical Questions, Answered

Is knob-and-tube wiring in my North Slope home actually a safety risk?

Often, yes. Knob-and-tube wiring wasn’t designed for grounded appliances or the electrical load of a modern home, and its insulation degrades with age, which raises the risk of overheating. Many insurance carriers also flag it during underwriting. An electrician can evaluate what’s actually in your walls and tell you whether it needs full replacement or just needs to be brought up to code in specific areas.

Can I add central air to my historic Stadium District home without changing how it looks from the street?

Usually, yes. A ductless mini-split system can add cooling room by room without the exterior ductwork or window units that would affect a historic home’s appearance, and outdoor condenser units can typically be placed out of view from the street. It’s worth a conversation before assuming a historic exterior rules out central cooling.

My Tacoma home still has its original gravity furnace or a boiler with radiators. What are my options?

You generally have three paths: keep and service the existing system, replace a boiler with a more efficient modern one on the same radiator distribution, or convert to forced-air or ductless heating entirely. Which makes sense depends on the home’s layout, the radiators’ condition, and how much you want to change. We can walk you through the real trade-offs for your specific setup.

Do I need trenchless sewer repair, or can my Tacoma line just be cleaned?

It depends on what’s actually wrong. If the pipe itself is intact and the problem is buildup or minor root intrusion, cleaning or hydro jetting is usually enough. If the pipe is cracked, collapsed, or has significant root damage, trenchless repair can often fix it without digging up your yard. A sewer camera inspection is the only reliable way to know which situation you’re in.

Is a tankless water heater worth the upgrade for an older Tacoma home?

For many homes, yes, especially if you’re also dealing with limited space or a tank that’s near the end of its life. Tankless units take up less room and provide continuous hot water, though older homes sometimes need electrical or gas line adjustments to support one. We can tell you honestly whether your home is a straightforward fit or needs extra work first.

Does Resicon work with landlords and property managers on Tacoma’s multifamily rental properties?

Yes. Beyond single-family homes, Resicon handles HVAC, plumbing, and electrical work for multifamily and rental properties throughout Tacoma, including buildings where older homes have been divided into multiple units, a common pattern in neighborhoods like North Slope.

Are hillside Tacoma neighborhoods like Old Town or the Stadium District more likely to lose power in a storm?

Often, yes. Neighborhoods with mature tree cover and bluff-adjacent power lines tend to see more storm-related outages than flatter areas, since falling limbs and downed lines are the most common cause of local outages. If you’re in one of these areas, that’s a reasonable factor to weigh when deciding whether a generator makes sense for your home.

Do I need a permit for an electrical panel upgrade or water heater replacement in Tacoma?

Most panel upgrades and water heater replacements in Tacoma require a permit and inspection, though exact requirements depend on the scope of the work. Resicon can confirm what your specific project needs and handle the permitting as part of the job, so you’re not stuck untangling city requirements yourself.
