In 1938, two brothers started a heating company just south of Seattle with a simple promise: honest work at a fair price. Word spread, the trucks multiplied, and the handshake stayed the same — and the shop is still on Des Moines Memorial Drive in Burien today.
Three generations later, the family still runs the business — today's third-generation owners are Sarah Turner, Chad Fulton, Greg Hoefer, and Randy Hoefer — still family-owned, not a franchise, not private equity. While other Seattle-area HVAC names have been bought up by out-of-state investors, Glendale is still your neighbors. Many of the homes we service today belong to the grandchildren of our first customers, and that trust is something we never take for granted.
HVAC is all we do — and we do all of it: oil, gas, and electric furnaces, heat pumps, ductless, and indoor air quality across King and Pierce County from our Burien office. As an authorized Lennox dealer with our own in-house sheet metal shop, we can custom-fabricate what your home actually needs instead of forcing a one-size-fits-all install. BBB A+ accredited since 2001.

Glendale runs its own fully equipped custom sheet metal shop — the same one you can see behind our crew in the video on the home page. It's why odd-shaped Seattle basements, pre-war retrofits, and furnace modifications don't scare us: if the right part doesn't exist, we make it.
Get a Custom-Fit EstimatePlenum, transitions, and runs are sized to your actual mechanical space and load calculation — not whatever a supply house has on the shelf.
Our sheet metal crew fabricates and modifies the ductwork in-house at our Burien shop on Des Moines Memorial Drive — custom work, faster than ordering out, quality we control end to end.
Purpose-built metal means tighter seams and better airflow — the difference between equipment that hits its rated efficiency and equipment that just runs.
Three generations of one Seattle family — we treat your home like our own.
Licensed, insured, background-checked techs and honest, upfront pricing.
Authorized dealer installing premium, high-efficiency equipment.
87+ years of word-of-mouth, and many third-generation customers.
