AfterHVAC Company in Cheney, WA
Coldharbour Heating & Air handles AC repair, furnace repair, and AC installation for Cheney homeowners and rental properties, with most repair calls completed same-day and written pricing given before any work starts. Cheney’s exposed plateau position at roughly 2,400 feet elevation makes its winters colder and windier than Spokane’s, while summers push into the 90s, so the systems we service here work harder than their lower-elevation counterparts. If your furnace won’t start or your AC is blowing warm, call us at (817) 402-2972. A live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, and we dispatch crews from our Seattle office to serve Cheney directly.
Why Cheney Homes Are Different
Cheney sits on the Columbia Plateau in a pocket of genuine continental climate. January lows drop into the single digits regularly, and the wind cuts through older construction with little mercy. That exposure matters because much of Cheney’s housing stock was built in the mid-20th century or converted to student rentals for Eastern Washington University, and many of those structures still run original forced-air systems or electric baseboard heat that was never designed for this severity.
The EWU rental cycle creates its own pattern. Every August, near-total tenant turnover means furnaces that sat unmaintained all summer get fired up by new renters in late September and October. We see the same failures repeatedly: cracked heat exchangers, failed igniters, and clogged filters that went unreported between lease terms. Landlords in Cheney often replace equipment only after failure, not before, which means our technicians arrive to systems that have been neglected through multiple academic years. Summers in the 90s add genuine dual-season demand on equipment already stressed by deferred maintenance.
Our Main Cheney Services
These are the three services Cheney homeowners and property managers call us about most. Each has its own dedicated page with deeper detail on what the job involves locally.
AC Repair in Cheney
When an AC unit quits in Cheney during a July heat wave, the call is usually urgent. Our technicians carry common capacitors, contactors, and refrigerant to handle the majority of same-day repairs on systems made by Carrier, Trane, Lennox, and other major brands. Because many Cheney rentals sit vacant over summer break, we also see a lot of startup failures, refrigerant leaks from corroded linesets, and blower motors seized from dust accumulation. AC Repair in Cheney covers what we fix most often and what a typical call looks like.
Furnace Repair in Cheney
Cheney furnace repair calls spike predictably each autumn when EWU renters first turn on the heat. The plateau’s single-digit January lows and wind exposure punish any system with a weak heat exchanger or failing igniter. We stock igniters, flame sensors, blower motors, and control boards for the brands we see most, and we issue a written 365-Day Done Right Promise on every repair. If the same part fails within a year, we come back and fix it at no charge. Furnace Repair in Cheney explains what to expect when you call.
AC Installation in Cheney
New AC installation in Cheney requires proper load calculation because the plateau heat and wind exposure change the math from lower-elevation Spokane. We measure the home, account for insulation quality (often poor in older rental stock), and specify equipment sized correctly for the actual conditions. Installation is scheduled, not same-day, and you receive a written fixed price before we order equipment. AC Installation in Cheney walks through sizing, brands like Goodman and Rheem, and what the timeline looks like.

What pushes Cheney jobs toward the higher end: older systems with corroded electrical connections, hard-to-access equipment in converted multi-unit buildings, and the need for after-hours emergency calls when a furnace fails during a cold snap. Whatever the scope, we hand you a written price before any work begins, and that number does not change at the door. This is The Kingswell Way, not a case-by-case policy.

What Cheney Customers Say
"Honest to a fault. Two companies told me I needed a whole new unit. Coldharbour said mine had years left and just needed a cleaning and a part. Saved me thousands."
- Marcus Reilly"Furnace wouldn't light the first cold morning. The guy walked me through what he was checking so I actually understood it. Replaced the igniter, wrote up the warranty, and it's been warm since."
- Alicia Romero"AC died overnight with a newborn in the house. They bumped us up the list and had it running by noon. I about hugged the guy. Fair price even on a rush call."
