Nampa is the largest city in Canyon County and sits about twenty miles west of Boise on Interstate 84. Its housing spans a wider range of ages than most of the valley. Blocks near the old downtown and Northwest Nazarene University date to the 1910s through the 1950s, the Karcher Road area filled in during the 1970s and 1980s, and the south side toward Lake Lowell has been building nonstop since 2005. Each era has its own heating and cooling problems, and Summit Heating & Air works on all of them. We service gas furnaces, central air, heat pumps, and ductless systems throughout Nampa. Reach us at (208) 555-0142 for repairs, replacements, or a tune-up before the season turns.
Homes in Nampa
Older Nampa homes near downtown often have a mid-century furnace retrofit, undersized metal ducts, and an evaporative cooler on the roof that struggles once August highs pass 100. Homes from the 1970s and 1980s tend to run original ductwork with a newer furnace bolted on. The south side subdivisions have the same builder-grade equipment and attic flex duct found across the valley.

Learn moreNampa questions
Can you replace the swamp cooler on my older Nampa home with central air?
Yes, and it is one of the most common jobs we do in the blocks near downtown. The cooler comes off the roof, the opening is sealed and roofed over, and we set a condenser outside with an evaporator coil on the existing furnace. Some older houses need a duct upgrade or a ductless system if the ducts are too small to carry cooled air.
Why does my condenser in Nampa need cleaning more often than my brother's in Boise?
Nampa is closer to working farmland, and dust from fields and gravel roads coats the outdoor coil faster. A coil packed with dust makes the unit run longer and hotter. We suggest rinsing the coil every spring and checking it again in midsummer.
Do you charge extra to drive out to Nampa?
There is no travel charge for Nampa. It is inside Boise, Meridian, Nampa, Eagle, and Kuna, and the diagnostic fee is the same as it is in Boise. We group Canyon County calls together so a technician is usually already nearby.
