Great local company in the Northeast Tacoma area. Had a new air handler/electric heater installed and I am glad I called Russ. He was efficient with his work, got me what I wanted, and most importantly, arrived when he said he would be there. I will recommend him in a heartbeat! Thanks Again Russ!

My furnace stopped working and I needed a quick response to keep our house warm. David was able to respond almost immediately. He quickly assessed and fixed the issue. The price was reasonable. He was very professional and efficient. I would definitely recommend Russ Heating and Cooling and would go back to them again if my furnace has an issue.

Had Russ heating install new mini split. This is a family owned business, had the pleasure to work with both father and son. They were great to work with and did an excellent job. I would use them again.

Would recommend to anyone looking for an AC inst…

Excellent customer service and great price. I had an issue with my heater over the weekend and I was able to call and schedule same day appointment. David arrived on time and was very respectful of my time. He was able to resolve the issue and get the heater working in no time. I recommend Russ Heating and Cooling for all your heating/cooling needs.
