James is a skillful and honest HVAC tech. I hired James to service our furnace and tankless water heater a year ago. He did a much more thorough job than any other tech I've experienced. I also appreciated that he didn't try to upsell me on anything I didn't need - I asked about installing a heat pump and he explained why it didn't make financial sense in my situation. Twice since then I've gotten in over my head with DIY HVAC projects. Both times I've called James to ask for help and he's been able to walk me through how to fix the issue myself without requiring a service call. It's a huge relief to have an expert you can trust. I'd highly recommend calling James for any HVAC needs. read more

Holden Village recently had the pleasure of working with James Colver of Allied Heating and AC Solutions, an outstanding HVAC contractor who exceeded our expectations in every aspect of a major water heating system upgrade. Beginning with the initial consultation, he took time to carefully assess the condition and limitations of the aging electric water heaters in our hotel/dining hall. Rather than offer a quick fix, he conducted a thorough analysis of our facility's needs, listening closely to feedback from multiple stakeholders before proposing a long-term solution. Holden Village presents unique challenges for a contractor. We are an ecumenical retreat center built in an abandoned mining town high in the North Cascades Mountains. The only access to the Village is by ferry boat up Lake Chelan and then by Holden's bus transport ten miles up a steep gravel road. We produce our own power with a hydroelectric system, operate our own water treatment system and septic system, and repair and maintain our 1930s lodges, chalets, and community spaces. Everything we need must be transported in by barge, ferry, and truck. James's recommendation--a high-efficiency heat pump water heating system--was not only environmentally forward-thinking but is projected to reduce our energy costs by up to 90% in our hotel. This substantially reduces the load on our hydroelectric system and perfectly aligns with our long-term goal of becoming a carbon neutral facility. James walked us through every detail of the system's performance, benefits, and installation process with clarity and professionalism, making sure we understood what to expect. Once we agreed on the scope of the project, James took all these challenges in stride, arranging to bring his own vehicle in by barge, fully stocked with the tools and equipment he needed to complete the job. The installation itself was seamless. Despite the complexity of our custom-built energy management system, he integrated the new heat pump with impressive technical skill, ensuring compatibility and peak performance. Throughout the process, he was consistently courteous, respectful of our operational needs, and kept disruptions to an absolute minimum. James and Allied Heating and AC Solutions didn't just provide a product; they took the time to understand our situation and learn what was important to us, and then delivered a thoughtful, cost-saving, and expertly executed solution. James's ability to blend technical expertise with excellent communication and stakeholder engagement made the entire experience positive and stress-free. We wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking a trusted HVAC professional who goes above and beyond. read more

James responded to our Facebook message immediately, on a Sunday evening. He took a considerable amount of time to discuss replacing our leaking water heater. We sent him text pictures which allowed him to propose options, and he presented a proposal that was in line with the other bid we received. He also provided an estimate for an option that was more energy efficient. I had researched our needs and was comfortable that all the information he shared was thorough and addressed all of our concerns. read more

Absolutely amazing James installed this unit 6 years ago and it's worked perfectly ever since. I asked him to come out and pm it; he did, checked everything and said yep it's still working perfectly.....the amazing thing is he didn't even charge me . The savings I've had over the years compared to my oil furnace have been fantastic read more

James at Allied Complete Furnace is my go-to for any future HVAC needs. I called James and explained my furnace situation to him. He asked me to send him some photos of my furnace equipment and within a few minutes he was able to diagnose the problem, suggest solutions, and provide an estimate on how much the repair would cost. He was able to come out within a few days despite my inflexible work schedule! James is genuine, easy-going, trustworthy, hardworking, and takes pride in his workmanship! He made sure to thoroughly explain what repair would be required to ensure I was comfortable moving forward and would be confident setting up the thermostat to my liking. James provide a furnace repair at a fraction of the cost of other companies. I'm an Allied customer for life now! Thanks James! read more

James came to my home to make sure that my A/C was still functioning properly. He is the most honest technician (and owner) I have ever met. He's very kind, professional, explains everything he does and answered all of my questions. I also have him service my gas furnace yearly. I highly recommend him to everyone! read more

Called the original installer of my system. $220 to diagnose a coolant leak. Then they quoted me $2100-2500 to fix a flare fitting or $500 to just recharge the system. I decided to hold off. I started looking into doing it myself. I found a great youtube video on proper flare fitting installs from James at Allied Complete Furnace & AC Repair. Wait, he's local!?!? Anyone who potential sacrifices their own business by educating people to properly DIY is a hero. I called him, and explained the deal. One of the things that sold me about James was the fact he outright told me what his cost of r410a. It was exactly the best price I could find online. Obviously he has a markup but he was 100% transparent and honest about it. He gave me 3 tentative options over the phone: 1) Recharge the system, $200-250 2) Recharge + leak stop and 50/50 chance to fix, $300 3) evacuate the system, fix a flare fitting, and recharge, $600-800 Boom, done deal. But that is not all. It took James less than 10 minutes to determine I had 3 leaky fittings. leak stop wasn't an option. The previous tech didn't even look at the fitting. James popped the plastic right off. No BS, just right to the point. "Look here, you have coolant all over the flare fitting." He honored his previous quote but fixed all 3 flare fittings. James also did a solvent wash on the condenser at no extra charge. It turns out that ALL THREE fittings were torqued to about 15lbs instead of the factory recommended 40lbs. Basically, he is a straight up honest hard working American. That old school pride in quality and does the absolute best job one can do. I dig it. I wish there were more people out there like James. Highly recommend! read more

Full Furnace, AC and Duct work by Allied back in 2015. Chose allied after obtaining multiple bids and researching the best solutions. James with Allied had the appropriate solutions, and did a wonderful installation, I recently had him perform preventative service on the unit and was reminded and a good job he had done. System works great - cools well, heats well, and is rock-solid. Highly recommend James and Allied. read more

Did a fix on our very old furnace to get it going again. Came out same day we called. Pleasant to deal with and he explained things very well; we're thinking of getting a new furnace from him when it is needed. Highly recommend. read more

James has done all the work at our house since 2016. He's been out several times for various issues. Including today when he stopped by just to help us ensure a weird smell wasn't anything dangerous. He's honest, fair priced and highly recommended. He has done furnace work, an air-conditioning installation and fireplace work at our home. Look no further, James is the man! read more

James, the business owner of Allied, was so great! He quickly repaired our furnace on the day we called. James was upfront over the phone about the cost of repair: $100 base, $70 if a replacement part (igniter) was required. Situation: Our furnace stopped working on a Friday afternoon or evening. My husband figured out that it was the igniter that broke. Appointment: We called and left a voicemail over the weekend. We called again on Monday morning to schedule an appointment. James said he had a couple appointments before us, that he'd keep us updated via phone call or text message. In the afternoon, he said his current job was taking longer than usual, and he might be able to get to us later in the evening or the next day. Around 10:00 pm the same day (Monday), he called and said he was ready to fix our furnace if we were still available. Our house was losing about 3 degrees per day, and it was about 52 degrees at the time, so we chose sooner rather than later. Repair time: 15 minutes from arrival to departure. Super fast! Cost: As promised over the phone earlier. Payment: Allied has/had a Yelp offer at the time of this review, $50 for $100. Credit cards are accepted. Above and beyond: James fixed our fireplace since the pilot light was out and he was already there. He also made our furnace more efficient by updating the settings to blow less air and more heat (vs the then-settings to blow more air and less heat), saving us about $50 per year on our heat bill! Overall: Honest, knowledgeable, and fast. I highly recommend Allied to anyone needing a furnace repair. It is so nice to have a warm home again, thank you James! read more

When your furnace dies on a weekday in December, you don't have a lot of time to think about what to do next. After doing some very quick troubleshooting and pricing research, we called James at Allied Complete Furnace & AC Repair, and we are very glad we did. James was prompt, professional, and thoughtful. He conducted business with transparency and made certain we had all of the documentation and information related to our replacement. James told us our furnace was 21 years old and while he didn't consider that to be ancient by furnace standards, this particular model had a defect that had been the subject of a class action law suit in 2008. Although replacement was necessary, he did a "band-aid" repair to keep us from freezing until he was able to return to replace the furnace. He also noted that our water heater was leaking into our sump pump in the basement. When it rains, it pours! He gave me a quote on the spot for the furnace, a new thermostat, and the water heater (a non-emergency repair we needed to push back until the new year). Based on my research, I found his pricing for labor and the furnace unit to be competitive. James ran my credit card for his cost to come out, and we scheduled the replacement time before he left. He followed up with an email that included attachments of the class action suit information and confirmation of his submission of the limited parts warranty. He also helpfully included a link to PSE so we could submit our invoice to qualify for a refund due to the installation of the new energy effiicient unit. On the day of the replacement, James confirmed his arrival time by text, and then arrived with a helper to do the work. According to my husband who was home at the time, they worked efficiently and within the time estimate he provided. He gave us his expectations for maintenance, which he said should be practically nonexistant. He even attached a pocket to the outside of the unit to hold the manual! Our new furnace is working splendidly and we can't believe the difference in the quality of the heating of our home. We happily recommend Allied Complete Furnace & AC Repair to everyone. read more

I called James of Allied Complete Furnace on a Wednesday after my furnace died during the night. He returned my phone call within 10 minutes and after discussing what I needed and sending a few pictures, he gave me a quote. The furnace I needed was not available locally and had to be shipped in. He offered to install it on Saturday and since the temperatures were in the 40's, I gratefully accepted. The price he gave me was well within the budget I had set based on a quote I had received 6 years ago from a different company. The installation took about 6 hours. He kept me updated by text and pictures through the entire process. On time, on budget and he even sent me the link to the PSE rebate. I am very pleased and have already recommended James to a friend of mine and will be calling him when it's time to replace my water heater. read more

James responded rapidly and diagnosed that we needed a new furnace rather than a patchwork repair to our 65 year old oil-to-gas clunker. He identified options for the new furnace and provided valuable information about the increased efficiency for each model. He was able to order our new furnace and install it within 3 days. I highly recommend James, his high quality workmanship got our heat back on quickly during the snowstorm and freeze in late December. read more

I HIGHLY recommend Allied Complete Furnace & AC Repair. This is a small local business that is honest, courteous, convenient and has fair pricing. The owner (James) is a nice guy and his prices are VERY reasonable. Also, he won't try to talk you into buying a brand new furnace if all you need is a simple fix. Our 11-year-old furnace wasn't working right and James came over, did some testing and fixed it within 45 minutes -- all for $150! This would have cost me at least triple the amount with any other company. read more

I have to give a shoutout to James with Allied. I had a furnace issue and called James. He was able to come out the next day and diagnose the problem and also fix a very serious issue with my furnace. I feel that he is honest and reasonably priced and I never got that "ripped off" feeling you get with other companies. I would highly recommend using him over anyone. He is responsive and professional. read more

I posted in my local neighborhood Facebook group asking for someone knowledgeable to come take a look at my furnace and help me swap the filter, and basically everyone recommended I contact Allied. James responded to me promptly, was able to come out to visit almost immediately (we talked on Friday, he came by Monday), and he not only optimized my furnace's settings, but was polite, friendly, thorough, and answered every single silly question I fired his way. Little touches like filter recommendations, showing me carefully how to replace stuff and what different elements did, relative measurements, carefully tying back some stray wires - that's a level of professionalism and care that means a great deal, and sends me to Yelp to sing some praises. Thank you, James, and keep up the great work, Allied! read more

James is a genuine great guy. Called this morning about our furnace not consistently heating and he was able to come out same day and fix it for us for a great price! He is now my go to guy for anything we will need in the future relating to our heating needs. I will definitely recommend him to everyone I know. read more

The owner handled my call right away when my furnace went out on 10/10/12. Prior to arrival, he purchased the part I needed for what I thought was a malfunctioning gas valve. He kept me updated on his arrival time. He arrived and assessed my furnace to immediately notice that I had a simple lose wire and tightened it for me. I was not charged a fee for his service and he was honest enough to not install the part he ordered for me knowing that I didn't really need it after all. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING beats an honest repair man!!! I will definitely call him for all my furnace needs in the future:-) read more

James did a great job installing our new furnace. He was friendly, was knowledgeable, and took the time to explain all of our options in person and over the phone. He is reasonably priced, and I would highly recommend him for any repair or service job. Thanks James! read more

This man was honest prompt and courteous. Called an eastside company that installed furnace originally and got the "call me back" routine. He checked and said it could be 1 of two problems but we should try the cheap one first. Didnt have the part on the Truck .went and picked it up and installed it same night at 7 pm and bingo! problem solved! Highly recommend! read more

Very professional, fast and fairly priced. Our furnace stop working yesterday during the the day. We called almost at 5 pm, got appointment for next morning and by 10 am everything was up and working. Wish this business the best of the Holidays! Will call them back in a hearthbeat! Highly recommend! read more

After a bad HVAC install from another company, I called for advice and talked to James. Overall very professional and courteous and was extremely helpful. I'm very thankful he set time aside to discuss my issues and provide great feedback and information. read more

I've worked with lots of contractors and subs over the last couple years and James @ Allied was absolutely outstanding. Owner James is a true pro and an affable guy. We hired Allied to install an AC system for our house. When he came over to give us a quote he asked all the right questions to get us the right system for the house. In our case, we went with an efficient system that didn't break the bank, plus a nifty new thermostat and remote. He didn't screw around with the bid. Without knowing anything about the competing bids, he beat them both. No need to negotiate. After checking out some references, his license, and insurance we hired him. When he started installing the AC coil, he noticed a problem with the prior furnace installation. The issue was a sizable air gap AFTER the filter that basically sucked cold air in from our garage (where the cat box is). The furnace had to work harder to heat that extra cold air, plus ew, cat box air. It was a simple fix, so James fixed it for us at no charge. He also noticed our filter needed changing, so he installed a fresh one for us without a mark up on the filter. Nice! Also, he didn't charge extra for mechanical or electrical permits (which some outfits do, watch out.) He didn't skimp or cut corners anywhere that I could see. He even installed a documentation box near the furnace and AC coil. The electrical sub he used was great. (Marcel @ Omega) Both electrical and mechanical install looked clean and professional. James showed up when he said he would, or called in advance if he was running a little behind. He explained what he was doing. He explained how to operate the system. He cleaned up at the end of the day. He did the job beyond expectations. He was on time and on budget. What else can I say? read more

Really impressed with the work James did on our boiler removal/install project. The home is a hundred years old and his knowledge and ability installed a modern boiler that will heat the home efficiently and effectively for years to come. Thank you, James! read more

Our ancient 30+ year old furnace died on us in November, so we were pretty eager to get it replaced. That being said, we still shopped around and looked at the value offerings of other service providers. Allied Complete Furnace and AC Repair was the company we chose and we have no regrets. James did an excellent job of explaining our options, and we felt no pressure to go with a particular brand or solution, and his work was efficient and clean. Thanks again James. read more

Disclaimer: This is the first Yelp review I have written. I read a LOT of reviews, but do not write them. That's how strongly I feel about this... James from Allied was able to schedule me right away and come by to check out my furnace. I had recently installed the Nest thermostat, and was having trouble with the furnace being inconsistent. He quickly diagnosed the problem and recommended that I return the Nest as it wasn't compatible with the board on my furnace. He proceeded to fix other issues, including the banging noises that frequently occurred when the furnace shut off, and also fixed a couple of leaks in the pipes. He then replaced the thermostat with my old one, and made recommendations as to which smart thermostat would work better with our furnace. After using the Yelp coupon and being charged for a couple of parts, I paid a grand total of $70 for great service, good advice, and peace of mind. Considering how much you seem to pay for a lot less when service people come to your house, needless to say, I was extremely happy. I plan on calling him for help if and when I need it both for furnace and water heater repair. read more

I am so very pleased with the service I received from Allied this morning. James was fast, efficient, well priced and professional. He replaced both my water heater with a more efficient and safe model, as well as changing the motor in my gas furnace. I feel that I am well prepared for the winter now. read more

James did an amazing job on installing our new furnace! He was able to work with my busy schedule, and you brought a new level of integrity and energy efficiency to our home. I greatly appreciate how he kept in communication with me throughout the installation process, and how he stayed until the job was completed and you knew the furnace was operating properly. I will definitely be calling Allied again to replace our old air ducts, and I would recommend his services to anyone I know who is looking for a new heating or cooling system! He authentically cares not only about doing a great job, but about the happiness, health and comfort of his customers. read more

James, the owner, helped me on a day when most other companies were closed after the holidays. That is when my luck began. James replaced my water heater during some of our coldest weather. What a relief from the chill, particularly when I needed to go to work the next day. James was professional, knowledgeable and did an outstanding job. The price was fair, too. I would call him again without hesitation. In fact, I am recommending him to all my friends and relatives. read more

We can't thank James enough for the excellent job he did for us. He replaced and upgraded our gas furnace to energy efficient and fixed various mistakes made by the company that originally installed our gas heating system years ago, all at a lower cost than other companies. We are looking forward to saving approximately 30-40% on our future PSE bills. James's professional and honest approach was appreciated and we highly recommend Allied Furnace. read more
