"We went with Greenwood because we heard that they would take care of us, even though they were more expensive. We had a great experience with the first walkthrough with a knowledgable expert, but every interaction since has been poor. We had several issues with the installation; they had to come back several times. Five years later, the water pump with the furnace broke and they take care of it, but it costs $900. They take care of us, but continue to be expensive. I highly recommend avoiding this company and finding a business that knows what their doing and where all technicians care about the customer."

"A prompt and thorough response, unlike simply informing me that there was nothing they could do, they actively researched the warranty on my current system (expired and void due to builder installation) before discussing a replacement option. I was then presented with several options, each accompanied by a quote. When asked, they recommended that I opt for a more economical quote that better suited my usage and requirements. I highly recommend this company. They were punctual and worked diligently, even during the peak summer months in the hottest room in my house (the attic). I will certainly recommend them to any of my friends and will utilize their services for any future needs related to air conditioning or furnace repair, as well as routine maintenance."

Ask us about tankless water heaters, high-efficiency furnaces, and heat pumps! Our office and standard hours are listed but our dedicated team of background-checked and thoroughly trained technicians are ready and willing to assist you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for emergency services.

"The worst customer service! First of all, I pay my membership monthly so that I can have someone come out and do my maintenance for both heat and AC. For the past year, I have been getting cancelled due to short staffing. So finally someone came out and looked at my furnace and was told that our blower wheel was dirty and needs to be clean. I was also told that the reason why it was so dirty was because we were using such thin filter, I told the tech that we were actually using a thicker one before but we were told by the previous tech not to use a thicker filter since it will make the furnace work hard. The tech also told me to call Mountlake location ask for discount for all that trouble. I have spoke to someone named Leslie (very sweet lady) about the potential discount and she was supposed to return my call after talking to a manager but never heard back. So, I called again later the day and someone name Gloria answered the phone and so I told her that I was just following up with the discount I was asking about and she straight up said "So why would we give you discount?" in a very rude tone. She was very unprofessional and a big Liar. She told me that they had no managers today but I told her that I was told earlier that the managers were just in a meeting and she was like well let me call the manager for you right now and I will give you a call."

"I requested an HVAC service call quote from G&S Heating through Angi, and received a "deal" via Angi for $129. I chose them partly due to that price. G&S Heating ended up billing me $280, and said that was an old outdated deal and would not honor it. Irresponsible and incredibly poor customer relations. Also, the technician they sent did not seem very knowledgeable or experienced. He said the thermostat reading issue I was having would require another service call and the possible replacement of an expensive circuit board. I ended up fixing the problem myself. I will not be using G&S Heating again."

Ducts & vents installations and replacements FAQs

A dryer vent allows warm, moist air from inside the clothes dryer unit to escape to the outdoors. Without one, the warm air and moisture remain in your home, leading to mold, rot, and higher cooling bills over time. This project requires cutting a hole in the exterior of your home, so you should hire a professional contractor or carpenter to perform the work.

Use rigid metal when the duct runs behind walls, under floors, or through ceilings—it’s durable and clears lint efficiently. Semi‑rigid metal works well for short, visible sections that need a little flexibility. Your installer will match the material to the layout, but steer clear of flexible foil or vinyl hoses, as they can trap lint and increase the fire risk.

In tight spaces—a compact laundry room, kitchen, or bathroom—a slim or periscope duct lets the dryer sit close to the wall and still vent efficiently. This approach permits the dryer to sit close to the wall while ensuring efficient airflow. Slim vents offer a wide, rectangular design that fits perfectly in confined areas and can be installed vertically, horizontally, or diagonally. If allowed by local codes, surface-mounted ductwork further enhances accessibility and safety.

Plan on hiring a dryer vent cleaning professional to visit your home once a year to keep airflow strong and reduce fire risk. Large households or extra‑long vents may need a check every six months. Regular service sweeps out lint, spots damage early, and helps the dryer run more efficiently.

Qualified professionals for dryer vent installation include HVAC installers who deliver unmatched expertise for safe, secure installations. Experienced handypersons, plumbers, and roofers also perform these projects when the job is simple or when the vent pathway is clearly accessible. An HVAC installer guarantees a proper, code-compliant installation. For complex installations involving concealed ducts or challenging routes, always choose a specialist with a solid track record.

The maximum allowable dryer vent length is set at 25 to 35 feet by local building codes. Any 90-degree turn in the vent layout reduces this maximum by five feet. This exact measurement ensures efficient airflow and minimizes lint buildup, thereby enhancing safety. Adhere to your local code requirements to guarantee a proper and safe installation.
