It was 9:15 PM on a Friday night in Edmonds. The furnace was dead. The weekend stretched ahead, cold and uncertain. And then, an Energy Works technician pulled away from the driveway, job done.
That’s not a marketing story. That’s a real customer’s words.
“ABOVE AND BEYOND. Wow. It’s 9:15 pm on a Friday night. The technician just pulled away from our home.” — Gabrielle, Edmonds homeowner
Real Emergency Response, Not Just a Promise
Most HVAC companies advertise 24/7 emergency service. Fewer actually deliver it in a way customers remember. Energy Works has earned a reputation across years of Google reviews for showing up when it matters most; weekends, evenings, and yes, even Christmas holidays.
“As always Richard and Caleb were there to take care of me even during the Christmas holidays!” — Lucy
What sets Energy Works apart isn’t just availability, it’s who picks up the phone. Multiple customers have described calling the emergency line and hearing directly from Rich Vulliet, the company’s owner.
“My furnace quit working last Sunday morning and I placed a call on their emergency number and Rich Vulliet, the owner, called me back within the hour.” — Patricia
Why Owner Involvement Changes Everything
When your heat fails on a cold Pacific Northwest weekend, you’re not just dealing with a broken system, you’re dealing with stress, uncertainty, and the fear of a days-long wait. Knowing that the owner of the company is personally available and personally invested changes that calculation entirely.
Rich Vulliet has been part of Energy Works since the beginning. Customers from Edmonds, Shoreline, Shoreline, and across the greater Seattle area consistently describe him as accessible, responsive, and genuinely involved – not just a name on the website.
Serving Edmonds and Shoreline When You Need It Most
Whether it’s a Friday night furnace failure, a Saturday morning heat pump breakdown, or a holiday boiler emergency, Energy Works maintains the responsiveness that a local, owner-operated company can offer – and a national chain simply can’t.
“I am still reeling from astonishment at how wonderful this company is! I realized my problem early afternoon on a Friday and it was fixed within a couple of hours that same day.” — Diana
If your heating or cooling system fails unexpectedly, Energy Works is available for emergency service across the Greater Seattle and Puget Sound area. Call us — you may just reach Rich.
