Sunset Air

What Sunset Air does

Sunset Air is a privately held, family-owned HVAC services company headquartered in Lacey, Washington, with a secondary office in South Bend, WA. Founded in 1976 and operating across three generations of ownership, the company serves residential and commercial customers in the South Puget Sound and Western Washington region (Olympia, Tacoma, Lacey, Tumwater, Yelm, Shelton, Centralia, Puyallup, Lakewood, and surrounding areas).

The company installs, repairs, and maintains HVAC systems including heat pumps (ducted and ductless mini-splits), boilers, geothermal systems, hybrid heating systems, radiant heating, central air conditioning, furnaces, and water heaters. Beyond HVAC, Sunset Air offers electrical services (generator, residential EV charger, SPAN smart electrical panel installation), plumbing services, duct cleaning, and residential solar installation. The company distinguishes itself with union-trained and factory-trained technicians, Carrier Factory Authorized Dealer status, Certified Ductless Pro certification, and a Preferred Maintenance Program that locks in recurring annual service relationships with priority scheduling. Headcount is 51-100 employees, led by founder and CEO Peter Fluetsch.

The business model is predominantly project- and service-based, with revenue generated from one-time HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and solar installations ($800-$30,000 per project depending on system), one-time repair work ($150-$600 per visit, with 24/7 emergency availability), and a smaller subscription-style recurring stream from the $150-$500/year Preferred Maintenance Program. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via phone, website contact forms, and request-estimate flows, supported by content marketing, local SEO, social media, a referral program, and community sponsorships. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, no acquisitions or funding activity, and operates as a standalone family-run entity under Sunset Air, Inc.
