When a damp November cold snap rolls across Tacoma, a house that will not warm up is a real problem for uncomfortable families. Kliemann Brothers provides heating services across South Puget Sound, from routine tune-ups to emergency heating repair when the system quits at the worst possible time.
Kliemann Brothers provides a full range of heating services, including furnace services, heat pump installation, ductless systems, thermostat upgrades, and seasonal maintenance. Our family-owned company has served Tacoma since 1998, so we know how local homes behave once the rain settles in and the heat runs for months at a stretch.
Housing shapes almost every recommendation we make. Older Tacoma neighborhoods include many Craftsman bungalows and mid-century homes, where age and layout can affect ductwork, equipment selection, and heating needs. Homes across South Puget Sound use a mix of heating systems and fuel sources, including natural gas furnaces, cold-climate heat pumps, and electric baseboard heat.
Our residential heating services are built around that mix, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
From routine tune-ups to full system replacement, handled by one local team.
Common furnace problems involve a variety of components, from the flame sensor and igniter to the blower motor and air filter. Our technicians diagnose the root cause, explain your options in plain language, and fix the problem without pushing you into a bigger job than needed.

Furnace installation is not simply swapping one box for another. Proper sizing, sealed ductwork, and correct venting can profoundly affect both comfort and utility bills, especially in older Tacoma houses where original ducts may be undersized or leaky.

We recommend annual furnace maintenance, ideally in early fall. During a tune-up we clean key components, test safety controls, inspect the heat exchanger and flue, and change the filter if needed.

Heat pumps can be an effective heating option in the moderate climate here, and cold-climate models are designed to keep providing heat as outdoor temperatures fall below freezing. Ductless mini-splits work nicely in older homes, finished attics, converted garages, additions, and sunrooms.

Whether to repair or consider furnace replacement depends on your system's age, condition, repair history, efficiency, and the cost of the needed work. Many furnaces last about 15 to 20 years, and an older system with frequent repairs may be worth replacing rather than continuing to repair.
Repair usually wins when the system is newer and the failure is isolated. A damaged heat exchanger or other major safety or equipment problem can make replacement worth considering. New equipment is a real investment, so we walk you through financing options that make an upgrade easier to plan for.
If you smell gas or a carbon monoxide alarm sounds, leave the home and follow emergency guidance rather than troubleshooting the heating system yourself.
Kliemann Brothers is a family-owned and operated company built on honest, ethical service, and we do whatever it takes to make our customers happy. That approach has guided us since we started in 1998.
Because we also provide air conditioning, electrical work, and indoor air quality services, you can handle nearly every comfort need in your home with one local company.
