Repiping

Yes. We hold Washington contractor licenses BALLANG062QD and BASHAAP823QR, and our technicians are licensed professionals. We are also a Mitsubishi Diamond Elite Contractor, a Trane Comfort Specialist and a Lennox Premier Dealer, and a longstanding member of the Air Conditioning Contractors of America.

Sometimes, and it can be sensible if only one run is failing. But if the cause is age and corrosion of galvanised pipe, the rest is usually on the same clock, and doing it piecemeal often costs more overall. We will be straight about which situation you are in.

Yes. Ballard Heating, Cooling, Electric & Plumbing offers financing options to help you spread the cost of larger projects, such as a new heat pump, furnace, air conditioner, water heater, or electrical panel upgrade, into manageable monthly payments. Visit our Financing page to see current options, or call us at 206-784-8101 and our team will walk you through what's available for your project.

Less than most people expect. It means opening access points rather than gutting the house, and we plan the route to minimize that. We will tell you which areas are affected, roughly how long water will be off, and what the patching looks like before we start.

Repeated pinhole leaks, rusty or discoloured water, steadily falling pressure across the whole house, and visibly corroded pipe are the usual indicators. Galvanised supply pipe, common in older homes here, corrodes from the inside and narrows over decades, so pressure drops long before anything visibly leaks.

We quote upfront, before the work starts, so there is no surprise at the end. For larger jobs we put a detailed proposal together onsite and back it with our Price Lock Guarantee, which means the price we put in writing is the price you pay. Estimates are free.

Since 1993. We have been locally-led and operated that whole time, which is more than thirty years working on homes in this region. That matters more than it sounds: Puget Sound housing stock runs from 1920s bungalows to new construction, and the right answer for one is rarely the right answer for the other.

Often the same day. If you call before 1pm we can usually get a technician to you that day, and members of our 5 Star Maintenance Plan go to the front of the queue. Our vans are stocked, so most common repairs are finished on the first visit rather than waiting on a part.

It is our annual maintenance membership. Members get discounted annual maintenance, priority service, no overtime charges, a discounted diagnostic fee that is free at the Platinum level, an extended repair warranty, discounted water heater service, and a reminder when your maintenance is due. Members who call before 1pm can usually be seen the same day.

It depends on the house, the layout and what you want. PEX and copper both have a place, and the right answer differs between a slab home and a crawlspace, and between a full repipe and a partial. We will explain the trade offs on your house rather than defaulting to one.

A three year labor warranty on our work as standard, plus a Lifetime Workmanship Warranty. Manufacturer warranties on the equipment itself run separately and vary by brand and model. A Comfort Shield Extended Warranty is available if you want coverage beyond that, and we will explain what each one covers before you decide.
