About Vashon Heating & Cooling


"HVAC work runs deep in my family—it's been our way of taking care of people's homes for generations."


My dad George started with Seattle Heating back in the early '60s, and he taught my oldest brother Bugs everything he knew. My brother Joe learned from Bugs, and when it was my turn, Joe took me under his wing as his apprentice at Gas Appliance Service in Seattle. I spent years learning the craft alongside him, then headed to Brudvik School of Refrigeration in 1980 to really understand the why behind the work I was already doing.


Jane and I took the leap and started our own company in 1981, serving folks throughout the Seattle area. But something special happened in the mid-'90s—Vashon residents started asking if we'd bring our services to the island. When we made that move in 1996, it felt like coming home. Our neighbors here weren't just customers; they became part of our extended family. Looking back, deciding to focus on caring for island homes was one of the best choices we ever made.

Your Comfort, Our Commitment

We don't just install equipment and walk away. We stand behind every single thing we do because your long-term comfort matters to us. When we say we'll take care of your system, we mean it—for years to come.

Starting With What Your Home Actually Needs

Before we recommend anything, we take the time to really understand your home through a thorough energy audit. This isn't about selling you the biggest system—it's about finding exactly what will keep your family comfortable while being kind to your energy bills.

Getting the Details Right

Your ductwork is like the circulatory system of your home's comfort. We make sure it's designed properly so your new system can actually deliver the comfort you're paying for. We also verify that your existing setup can handle any new equipment, so everything works together seamlessly.

Protecting Your Investment

We make sure your new system is properly registered with the manufacturer so you get every day of that 5-10 year warranty you deserve. It's a small detail that makes a big difference down the road.

A Team You Can Count On

Our crew isn't a revolving door of strangers. These are skilled professionals who've been with us for years—people who take pride in their craft and genuinely care about doing right by our neighbors and your home.
