Furnaces, heat pumps, ductless systems and cooling in houses from Clyde Hill to Sammamish — and the unit-level equipment in Bellevue's condo towers.
Bellevue · Eastside
Heating and cooling for the towers and the houses of Bellevue.
Archer works on heat pumps, fan coils, furnaces and cooling in condos, apartment and office towers, shops and houses across the Eastside — and tells you plainly which part of a building's system is whose to fix.
In a condo tower
Who usually fixes what.
In a Bellevue condo, some of the heating and cooling is yours and some belongs to the association. This is how it usually splits — your declaration and bylaws have the final word.

Homes and businesses, equally
Towers are only half of it.
Businesses
Offices, shops and restaurants
Tenant suites in downtown towers, retail at street level, restaurants and clinics — tenant-owned units, supplemental cooling for server rooms, and work coordinated with building engineers.
Working in a building
The paperwork is part of the job.
Most Bellevue towers won't let a contractor in without approval, a certificate of insurance, a booked elevator and a time slot. We arrange that with management before the visit, so nobody's waiting in the lobby.
- Before
- Approval, insurance certificate, elevator and parking booked.
- During
- Floors protected, noisy work in agreed hours.
- After
- A written note for you — and for management if you want one.

Questions
Asked in towers — and houses.
In my condo, who pays to fix the heating and cooling?
It depends on your association documents. Equipment that serves only your unit, such as a heat pump or fan coil and its thermostat, is often the owner's. Shared equipment, such as building water loops, risers and central ventilation, is often the association's. We can tell you which parts serve what, but the documents decide who pays.
Can you work in our building if we need HOA approval?
Yes. Many Bellevue buildings require approval, certificates of insurance and scheduled access for contractors. Tell us the building and we will arrange the paperwork and access with management before the visit.
Do you work on office tenant spaces?
Yes. Office suites in towers often have tenant-owned units for server rooms or extra cooling, alongside the building's own system. We work on both, with the landlord's engineering team where needed.
Do you work on houses too?
Yes, equally. Furnaces, heat pumps and air conditioning in houses across Bellevue and the Eastside.
What does "Wall" in your name mean?
It is part of the business name, not a second trade. Archer is a heating and cooling contractor. We mount wall units and run lines through walls, but we do not do drywall, painting or wall finishing.
