We purchased our ductless heat pump from Dave's 13 yrs ago and have had very few issues. When we…read moredo have a question or problem we call and they are able to answer the question over the phone or they will get someone out asap. Example: on Tuesday afternoon we heard a strange noise from the head in the bedroom and upon investigation found that the fan wasn't coming on on either of our two Daikin heads. A call to Dave's had the receptionist as a few questions and it sounded like it was going to warrant a visit. Unfortunately, that would not be for two days because they were very busy on Wednesday, but if something opened up they would call. Well, Wednesday morning, they called and I had to admit that now both heads seemed to be working again! She asked it we would still like someone to take a look and we said yes, because we didn't want to get caught without heat or cooling. Ryan arrived at the appointed time, was very professional and assured us that he would check things out. He was very thorough and explained each thing as he went. We did need to have several things attending to and he was able to clear an error code. We are now confident that we are going into the summer in good shape with our ductless heat pump. We really appreciate Ryan and Dave's and they have been our go to company for several homes over the years.

I called Dave's Heating for a quote for a new one. The owner came out and said he wouldn't give me a price on a new one because this one could easily be fixed. Talk about an honest company!! He had his tech come out 2 days later and all that was wrong with it was it needed a little refrigerant added. Works perfectly now. Can't believe I almost got duped by another company to buy a 15k new system! I can't thank Dave's Heating enough for their honesty and integrity. Highly recommend them!!!!

We are incredibly disappointed by this level of professionalism.

My first Thanksgiving on Olympic Peninsula my heat quit working during a horrible cold spell. After…read moretrying several HVAC companies, Strait Comfort Systems was the only one who would help. Now 7 years later, they are still my go-to company for hvac services. Their costs are competitive, their work is high quality and they go the extra mile standing behind their work and products. I have used them for my yearly maintenance, for a replacement for my heat pump when my previous one hit 16 years (typical life span) and to service my propane fireplace. I strongly recommend Richard and Strait Comfort Solutions for your HVAC needs.

Last week on November 27, 2023, we received very timely help from Straight Comfort Systems in…read morefixing a problem with our propane fireplace. The last two companies that serviced the fireplace over the past 14 years are now either no longer in business or no longer servicing fireplaces. One of them gave me two referrals to try and I called both. One got back to me the following day, however Straight Comfort Systems got back to me the same day and fit us in for a service visit that evening. I had seen the negative reviews on Yelp, however I had also seen the positive reviews on Google. Given all that, I decided to proceed. In recent weeks our fireplace had started shutting off and turning back on during operation. The duration of the times it was off had become longer and more worrisome, to the point where we were reluctant to use it. Fearing that we would be without the fireplace for the Holidays while waiting for a replacement part (the manufacturer, Lennox, is no longer making fireplaces), I was expecting bad news. However from its behavior he expected it might be a clogged orifice in the pilot assembly, and when he disassembled the system enough to get to the pilot valve he was able to clean out the clogged orifice. Since he re-assembled the system, the flame has been consistent without the intermittent shutting off we had experienced before. The work was done quickly and professionally. Also, a less ethical shop might have told us we needed to replace components, so I was also impressed that he was able to fix the unit with only a reasonable labor charge. I'm an engineer, and from my discussion with Richard I can say that he is extremely knowledgeable on these types of systems. As a result of this experience I would recommend Straight Comfort Systems.

Communication was flawless and appointment times adhered to (with a courtesy text message that the technician was on the way). I had contacted the plumber as my LifeTime Rheem large capacity hot water tank does require some routine maintenance. As it turned out the connected expansion tank was filling with water and was improperly installed. The tech rectified all that within a tight time frame -- and of course throughly inspected the main tank, electronics, and electrodes. He also drained any sediment. While these are typical aspects with respect to the requested services, the manner performed was exhaustive, professional and everything was kept clean, dry and tidy. I had complete confidence as I looked on and observed complete respect for my property. In the course of the service call (which I was initially hesitant to initiate, just because, well, who bothers with maintenance?), it was also determined that my water pressure regulator valve was malfunctioning after a water pressure test was conducted early on. While replacement was relatively costly, it was perhaps critically necessary so that was why I'm thrilled. This was a throughly executed, friendly, and even thoughtful service(s) call. I'd have no hesitation recommending Good Buddy Plumbing and Heating to anyone who asks.
