Our Story

Founded on a handshake — run the same way today.

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.

1938

Two brothers, one promise

Two brothers start a heating company just south of Seattle with a simple promise: honest work at a fair price. The address is still on Des Moines Memorial Drive in Burien.

The oil-heat years

Built in the furnace era

Glendale grows up with Seattle's oil- and gas-furnace homes — experience that still shows: we're one of the few shops that services oil, gas, and electric heat alike.

Generation two

The family trade passes down

The founders' children take over the same benches and the same standards — the business stays in the family as South King County grows around it.

The tin shop

We build our own ductwork

Glendale runs its own fully equipped custom sheet metal shop — fabricating and modifying ductwork in-house to fit each home, instead of forcing one-size-fits-all installs. Few competitors can say the same.

2001

BBB accredited

Glendale earns Better Business Bureau accreditation — held continuously since, with an A+ rating today. Proof, not promises.

Today

Three generations strong

The founders' grandchildren run the company: 87+ years in, family-owned (never private-equity), an independent Lennox dealer and authorized Daikin dealer serving 18+ Greater Seattle cities.

The Tin Shop

Most companies order ductwork.
We build it.

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 Estimate
  1. 01

    Measured to your home

    Plenum, transitions, and runs are sized to your actual mechanical space and load calculation — not whatever a supply house has on the shelf.

  2. 02

    Cut & formed in our shop

    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.

  3. 03

    Fitted tight on install day

    Purpose-built metal means tighter seams and better airflow — the difference between equipment that hits its rated efficiency and equipment that just runs.
