News & notes from the vans

Short, occasional posts about what we're seeing on Tri-Cities heating and cooling calls. No newsletter — we just write here when something's worth knowing.

Why so many Road 68 air conditioners are failing at the same time

Smoke, dust and late summer: keeping Tri-Cities cooling alive through the home stretch

August 22, 2026 · August is when filters give up, coils choke and tired capacitors finally quit. Two cheap habits get most systems through to fall.

Meanwhile, out on the jobs
