A college town on the West Plains

Cheney homes come in three kinds

Cheney is a small city southwest of Spokane with about 13,255 full-time residents as of the 2020 census. When classes are in session at Eastern Washington University, the population climbs to roughly 17,600. That swing shapes the housing. A big share of Cheney homes are rentals, many of them older houses split into units or duplexes near campus. Around downtown you find older homes with original or patched ductwork. And on the edges of town, newer subdivisions have younger systems that mostly need regular care.

Our heating and air conditioning service in Cheney covers all three. We repair and replace furnaces and air conditioners, install heat pumps, fix ductwork and thermostats, and improve indoor air for homeowners, landlords, property managers and tenants.

Why we ask you to call ahead

Cheney is a longer drive from our shop in Mead than most of our service area. We're glad to make it, and we plan our days so the trip works for you. Calling a few days ahead for tune-ups, estimates and non-urgent repairs lets us set a time that fits your schedule, and lets landlords line up tenant access. For no heat in January or no cooling in a heat wave, call any time. Our emergency line is open 24/7.

What we see in Cheney

Each kind of home needs something different

Here's where we usually start, depending on what kind of place you have.

Student rentals

Filters get forgotten, thermostats get cranked, and furnaces work hard when a house full of people comes and goes. Yearly tune-ups, filter changes and quick repairs keep tenants comfortable and protect the owner's equipment.

Maintenance plans

Older homes near downtown

Aging furnaces, undersized or leaky ducts and rooms that never quite warm up. We check safety first, fix what makes sense to fix and give honest numbers when replacement is the better move.

Furnace replacement

Newer subdivisions

Younger systems that need yearly care to stay efficient and keep the warranty valid. Many owners here ask about adding a heat pump or a smart thermostat to trim energy bills.

Signs a Cheney system needs attention

Catching these early is easier on the budget, and easier to schedule.

  • Furnace problems: cold air from the vents, short cycling, clicking without lighting, or new banging and squealing.
  • Air conditioning trouble: warm air, ice on the lines, or an outdoor unit that hums but won't start on a hot afternoon.
  • A faulty thermostat: rooms far from the setting, a blank screen, or a system that runs at odd times and drives up the bill.
  • Poor indoor air: dust that comes right back, musty smells, allergy flare-ups, or smoke that lingers inside in late summer.
  • Tired ductwork: weak airflow in some rooms, dusty registers, or rattling and whistling from the ducts. Duct repair and cleaning
  • Bills going up with no change in how you use the house, often a sign of dirty parts or leaking ducts.

Booking in Cheney

How a Cheney visit comes together

A little planning goes a long way when the drive is longer.

  1. Call or book ahead

    Tell us what's going on, who will be home and, for rentals, who approves the work.

  2. Inspection

    We check the equipment, ducts and controls and find the real cause of the problem.

  3. Price and approval

    You or the owner see the cost upfront and decide. Nothing starts without a yes.

  4. Work, test, tidy

    We do the repair or install, test full cycles and leave the space clean.

Real photos from our own jobs around the Spokane area. July highs average in the mid 80s and smoke rolls in most late summers, so cooling and clean air matter here as much as heat.

Answers for Cheney owners, landlords and tenants

Want to plan a visit? Call or text (509) 410-0769.

Yes. Cheney is a longer drive from our Mead shop, so for tune-ups, estimates and non-urgent repairs, please call a few days ahead and we'll find a time that works. For emergencies, call (509) 410-0769 any time, day or night.

Please tell your landlord or property manager first, since they usually approve and pay for the work. Once they give the go-ahead, we'll coordinate a time with you and send the owner a clear price before we start.

At least once a year for heating, in early fall, and once in spring for cooling if you have air conditioning or a heat pump. For rentals, a visit between leases is a smart time to check everything and change the filter.

Look at replacement when the furnace is 15 years or older, needs repairs often, heats unevenly or has a cracked heat exchanger. We'll compare the repair cost with a new furnace so you can decide.

Change filters every 1 to 3 months, consider a whole-home air cleaner for dust and wildfire smoke, and have dirty or leaky ducts cleaned and sealed. See our air quality services.

Usually, if your current unit is old or needs a big repair. A higher SEER2 rating (the cooling efficiency number) means lower bills and steadier cooling in a heat wave. A heat pump is worth a look too, since it cools like an AC and heats in winter.

Yes. Our emergency line is open 24/7. Financing on new systems starts as low as $99 a month on approved credit, and qualifying new installs carry a 10-year parts and labor warranty.
