Cougar Heating & Cooling.

Recent permits on the licence are mostly mechanical, pulled through Spokane County and the City of Spokane Valley for jobs in Spokane, Spokane Valley and Veradale, with a plumbing permit in the Valley as well. In 2022 Cougar filed public-works jobs as prime contractor for Rural Resources Community Action and Spokane County Fire District 8. The service list runs from Airway Heights, Cheney and Mead out through Liberty Lake and into North Idaho, including Coeur d'Alene, Post Falls and Hayden. The state lists Ian Goldberg as a principal since 2022 and Kevin Werner since 2026. The company describes itself as family-owned and locally operated and says it guarantees its electrical and HVAC workmanship. The fit is household service work: a furnace tune-up before the heating season, a no-heat call in January, a water heater swap, or a bathroom redo that pulls in tub, shower and lighting at once. Having heating, plumbing and electrical under one name helps when a job crosses trades. New-construction framing and large commercial builds sit outside what Cougar focuses on, and anyone who wants a specific manufacturer's certified installer should ask about that directly. Repair versus replace comes up most with furnaces and air conditioners in Spokane's older housing, where equipment often outlives its efficiency. A system that heats unevenly, needs repeated repairs, or relies on an aging AC that struggles through August heat is usually worth pricing against a replacement, often a heat pump that covers both seasons. A single failed part on otherwise sound equipment is usually a repair. Ask for both options in writing, with the expected life of the existing unit, and compare them before the cold sets in.
