Heat for the buildings that were here first.
Liberty works on the heating and cooling in Spokane's older brick buildings, apartment blocks and Valley industrial space — boilers and radiators as readily as rooftop units — and in the houses of the people who live and work in them.
Spokane buildings run on all three.
A hundred years of building means a city with every kind of heating system. We work on all of them.
Hydronic
A boiler heats water; a pump sends it to radiators, baseboard or coils. Quiet, even heat — common in apartments and older commercial buildings.
Steam
A boiler makes low-pressure steam that rises to radiators. Found in the oldest buildings downtown and on the South Hill; it needs people who understand it.
Forced air
Furnaces, heat pumps and rooftop units moving warm or cool air through ducts — most Valley houses and newer commercial buildings.
One loop, seven parts worth knowing.
When a radiator stays cold or a boiler keeps tripping, the cause is almost always one of these.
The boiler
Heats the water. Burners, heat exchanger, controls and safety devices are checked every season.
The relief valve
Opens if pressure rises too far. A weeping or dripping valve is telling you something — never cap it.
The expansion tank
Gives heated water room to expand. When it fails, pressure swings and the relief valve starts to drip.
The circulator pump
Moves water round the loop. A failing pump means lukewarm radiators everywhere.
Zone valves
Open and close each zone on its thermostat. A stuck valve is the usual cause of one cold zone.
Radiators, baseboard, coils
Where the heat reaches the room. Trapped air stops them heating — bleeding helps, but air keeps coming back for a reason.
The flue
Carries combustion gases out. Its condition matters for safety as much as for efficiency.
A simplified diagram of a typical hot-water system, not a specific building. Steam systems work differently — boilers & radiators explained.
The buildings we work in.
Older brick buildings
Downtown Spokane and along Sprague: boilers and radiators, steam where it survives, and the rooftop units added later for cooling.
Apartment buildings
Central boilers serving many units, circulators, zone valves and the complaints that come with them — scheduled with managers and residents.
Valley light industry
Shops and warehouses along Trent and Sprague: unit heaters, rooftop units, exhaust fans.
Offices & retail
Rooftop units and split systems in the Valley's offices and shopping centres.
And the houses, too.
Commercial work leads, but we look after boilers and radiators in older houses on the South Hill and in Browne's Addition, and furnaces, heat pumps and air conditioning in homes across Spokane Valley and Liberty Lake.
- Radiator homes
- Cold rooms, noisy pipes, dripping relief valves — diagnosed, not guessed.
- Forced air
- Furnaces and heat pumps repaired, replaced and serviced.
- Cooling
- Air conditioning and heat pumps for Spokane's hot summers.
Plain about scope
We work on heating and cooling equipment and the loops that serve it. Domestic plumbing, fire sprinklers and the state's boiler inspections are separate — we'll tell you who does what, and help you get ready for an inspection. No prices, savings figures or response-time promises on this site; you'll get real answers when you call.

Asked in Spokane buildings.
Do you work on boilers and radiator heat?
Yes. Hot-water (hydronic) boilers and the loops they feed, in older commercial buildings, apartment buildings and houses, and low-pressure steam systems in older buildings. Boiler work comes with a written price before anything is done.
Our building's boiler is inspected by the state. Is that you?
No. In Washington, most boilers outside private homes are inspected under the Department of Labor and Industries boiler program. We maintain and repair the equipment and can help you prepare for an inspection, but the inspection itself is separate.
Why are some radiators hot and others cold?
In a hot-water system, usually air trapped in the loop, a zone valve that is stuck, or a circulator pump that is failing. In a steam system, often venting or piping pitch. It is diagnosable and usually fixable without replacing the boiler.
Do you also do rooftop units and furnaces?
Yes. Rooftop units, furnaces, heat pumps and air conditioning for commercial buildings and homes across Spokane Valley and Spokane, alongside the boiler work.
Do you work on homes as well?
Yes. Commercial work leads, but we look after boilers and radiators in older Spokane houses, and furnaces, heat pumps and air conditioning in homes across the Valley.
Cold radiators? Tired boiler?
Buildings and homes across Spokane Valley and Spokane — one number.
