Alpine Heating And Cooling, founded by Gary Kirkendall in 2003, is a Skagit County-based business specializing in HVAC-R sales, service, and installations for both residential and commercial clients. They are known for their expertise in custom HVAC projects, ranging from basic furnace replacements to designing and installing complex water chiller systems. As a full general contractor, Alpine Heating And Cooling can handle full turn-key projects.
The team, including Gary, Jimm, and Trevor, has received praise for their professionalism, friendliness, and customer service. They are quick to respond, troubleshoot problems, and pay close attention to details during installations. Customers appreciated that they answer their phones even on Sundays, providing immediate help and advice. One customer mentioned that Jimmy came out with all the proper parts for a 10-year-old Navien tankless water heater, serviced it, and offered helpful tips on future maintenance and replacement. They also took time to walk around the house, explaining how to maintain mini splits and outdoor units, all at no extra charge.
Another customer called Gary unexpectedly and explained their issue. Gary sent Jimmy and Trevor, who diagnosed the problem quickly and efficiently. Jimmy's knowledge of American Standard equipment impressed the customer, who was very satisfied and would highly recommend the company.
Additionally, Alpine Heating And Cooling was able to resolve a significant issue with a high-efficiency furnace after an experience with another company that charged over $8,000 and delivered a loud, problematic furnace. Gary and his team replaced the noisy inducer outlet fan, and when similar issues arose, they identified the cause as an out-of-balance part. A simple ZIP TIE fix and soundproofing in the furnace closet solved the problem, and the customer saved about $3,000. The customer praised Gary and his team for listening carefully, finding effective solutions, and providing excellent service.
