The North Image neighborhood around Nikkei Park is packed with single-family homes built in the late 1970s through the 1990s, and most of them are running original heating systems. We have pulled permits for furnace replacements on NE 59th Street and swapped out heat pumps on NE 135th Avenue that had hit the end of the road. When North Image homeowners need a HVAC contractor in Vancouver WA, they call Alpine Mechanical Services.
1990s Home System Replacements
Homes in North Image built between 1985 and 1999 are at the point where original gas furnaces fail and start costing real money. We have replaced single-stage furnaces on NE 52nd Street that were cycling constantly because the heat exchanger had cracked. We have pulled out builder-grade equipment on NE 61st Street and put in high-efficiency Carrier and Lennox units that cut monthly gas bills noticeably.
Most of these homes still have the original gas lines and ductwork, and they can usually stay with some cleaning and sealing. We have reused original duct runs on dozens of North Image jobs without issue. Old buildings need experienced hands.
Manufactured Home and Rental Heating
The North Image area has a real mix of property types, including manufactured homes and 55-plus communities throughout the 98682 zip code. Manufactured homes use narrower, purpose-built furnaces that not every contractor stocks or knows well. We have replaced mobile-home rated units in Fair Oaks Estates and Creekside Estates, and we stock the right equipment for these jobs so nobody waits on a special order.
The team at Alpine Mechanical Services has handled plenty of after-hours calls in this neighborhood, showing up within a couple hours and getting the heat running again. Rental properties need responsive service. That is us.
No-Heat Emergency Calls
A furnace that quits at 11 PM on a 28-degree night. A cracked heat exchanger throwing a fault code on a Saturday morning. A blower motor that burned out during the coldest stretch of January. We have responded to all of these near Nikkei Park and made it a priority to get there the same day.
NE 137th Avenue has been under construction since 2024, which means some access routes in North Image have changed during peak hours. We know the alternate roads and we do not get slowed down by detours. Call (360) 661-8888 any time for emergency heating service near the Nikkei Park area.
Ductless Heat Pump Installations Near Nikkei Park
A lot of homes near Nikkei Park were built without central air. After the 2021 heat dome, when Portland and Vancouver hit 110 degrees, a lot of those families started taking cooling seriously. Ductless mini-splits from Mitsubishi and Daikin are the most practical option here because the installation does not require tearing into existing ductwork or walls.
We have installed single-zone and multi-zone ductless systems on NE 52nd Street and NE 59th Street, handling everything from the rough-in to the lineset and the city permit. For more on what these systems cost, see our heating contractor services in Vancouver WA page. We adapt to whatever we find.
Permit and Inspection Requirements
Washington state requires a mechanical permit for furnace replacements, heat pump installations, and work that changes fuel type or system capacity. Vancouver also has its own heat pump certification requirement for installers, the MHPC designation, that goes beyond the state baseline. We are licensed and certified for all of this work in Vancouver and Clark County.
Some contractors skip permits to move faster or keep their bid lower. Unpermitted work shows up at resale, causes insurance headaches, and can void the manufacturer warranty. Alpine Mechanical Services handles the permit, the inspection, and the final sign-off, so most of that process stays off your plate.
We also serve nearby Orchards, the Image neighborhood, and the Burnt Bridge Creek corridor.

For emergency no-heat calls near Nikkei Park, we prioritize same-day response. We run service calls seven days a week including nights, and NE Kerr Rd puts us about 10 minutes away.
2. Do you work on 1980s and 1990s homes in the North Image neighborhood?
Yes. Most homes around Nikkei Park were built in that era, and we handle the equipment typical to those houses: older single-stage gas furnaces, original ductwork, and the electric furnaces found in some homes from that period.
3. Do furnace replacements and heat pump installations in Vancouver WA require a permit?
Yes. Washington state requires a mechanical permit for any furnace replacement or heat pump installation. Vancouver also requires contractors to hold an MHPC designation for heat pump installs.

Yes, and that is exactly what ductless mini-splits are designed for. The installation requires only a small hole through an exterior wall for the refrigerant line, so there is no ductwork involved.
