HVAC Contractor near NE 76th & NE 117th Ave Vancouver WA Area
Vancouver’s First Choice for Dependable Heating & Cooling Solutions!
We have replaced aging gas furnaces in 1980s ranch homes off NE 86th Way, installed ductless mini-splits in owner-occupied houses near Orchards Plaza that never had central air, and diagnosed failed heat pump systems for families on NE 100th Ave who needed same-day answers. Call (360) 661-8888 for fast service.
The streets surrounding the NE 76th and NE 117th Ave intersection are filled with single-family homes built from the 1970s through the late 1990s. Most of them one-level, owner-occupied, and running on original or first-replacement HVAC equipment. We have pulled failed furnaces from crawl spaces on NE 75th St and swapped out undersized cooling units in homes along NE 81st St where back bedrooms turned into heat traps every July. When Orchards area homeowners need an HVAC contractor in Vancouver WA, they call Alpine Mechanical Services.
Owner-Occupied Ranch Homes Near NE 76th
Ranch homes in this part of Vancouver sit low to the ground. That means short access panels, tight crawl spaces, and ductwork that has been leaking conditioned air into unconditioned space for decades. We have pulled old single-stage furnaces from homes on NE 104th Ave where the original install was from 1991 and nothing had been serviced since. A lot of that air never makes it to the back bedrooms, which is why homeowners complain about cold rooms even after a new furnace goes in.
We have resealed duct connections in several homes along NE 86th Way where leaky joints were pulling air straight in from the crawl space. Not every problem is the equipment. Sometimes it is everything around it.
Orchards Plaza Corridor Commercial Work
Commercial tenants along this corridor cannot wait. Retail spaces and small offices near Orchards Plaza lose customers and revenue when the heat or cooling goes down, and a two-day wait is not acceptable. We have responded to rooftop unit failures in this area, some involving older package units that had gone years without a professional inspection.
We have replaced failed thermostats, recharged systems that had been limping through summer on low refrigerant, and handled multi-zone work for small strip tenants who needed everything done outside of business hours. If you need HVAC installation in Vancouver WA for a commercial space along this corridor, we work around your schedule. Commercial operators trust our experience.
After-Hours Heating and Cooling Calls
A furnace that quits at 11 PM on a January night. A refrigerant line that fails during a stretch of 95-degree days. A heat pump that stops producing heat on a Sunday before a cold snap moves in. We have responded to all of these near NE 76th and NE 117th Ave, often on-site within an hour.
Our shop on NE Kerr Rd is about five minutes up NE 117th Ave. We carry parts for the most common systems in this housing stock, we pick up after hours, and we do not leave a family without heat because a repair had to wait until Monday. We adapt to whatever we find.
Ductless Mini-Split Installations and Repairs
Most homes on these streets were built without central air. That was fine for decades, then 2021 happened. We have been installing single-zone and multi-zone Mitsubishi and Daikin systems throughout this corridor ever since, wall-mounted heads, line sets run through finished walls, done in a day when the job allows.
We have done installs in ranch homes near NE 104th Ave with no existing ductwork, where certain rooms had been noticeably hotter than the rest of the house through every summer. Homeowners in that situation have typically been thinking about it for a while before they call. Older mini-splits installed five to seven years ago are showing up on service calls now too, refrigerant checks, drain line clogs, board replacements. We know these systems. We give you a straight answer on repair versus replace.
Permit-Required System Replacements
Clark County requires a mechanical permit for furnace replacements and new HVAC installations. The City of Vancouver goes a step further. A duct testing affidavit must be submitted before final approval when a furnace or air conditioner is replaced. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and submit the paperwork. That is the job.
We have completed permitted replacements on NE 81st St and NE 87th St where homeowners had already been quoted jobs by contractors who never brought up the permit requirement. Work done without one creates problems at resale and voids most manufacturer warranties. Alpine Mechanical Services handles it from the first call through final sign-off.
We also serve nearby Sifton, Five Corners, and the Fourth Plain Boulevard corridor.

Our shop on NE Kerr Rd sits about 1.5 miles north on NE 117th Ave, roughly five to seven minutes in normal traffic. For after-hours emergencies, we aim to be on-site within an hour of your call.
2. Do you work on the ranch-style homes common in the Orchards area near NE 76th?
Yes. Most of the homes in this corridor are single-level ranch builds from the 1970s through the 1990s, and we work on them regularly. That includes tight crawl space access, original ductwork runs, and the mix of gas and electric systems common to that era of construction.
3. Does replacing a furnace or heat pump near NE 76th St require a permit in Vancouver WA?
It does. Clark County requires a mechanical permit for furnace replacements and new HVAC installations. The City of Vancouver also requires a duct testing affidavit when a furnace or air conditioner is replaced.
4. Can you install a ductless mini-split in a home that was built without central air?
Yes. Ductless systems do not require existing ductwork, which is exactly why they work well in the older ranch homes throughout this area. We run refrigerant lines through finished walls with minimal disruption and can complete most single-zone installs in one day.
