In the midst of this freezing cold spell it’s nice to know who ranks as the #1 heating company in our area…and it’s nice to know who to call when we’re in need of a new furnace, or repair of an old one.
A company at the top of that list is: Brennan Heating and Air Conditioning. They are an award winning heating and air conditioning company serving all of the Puget Sound, including Lynnwood and all of south Snohomish County.
For 5 years running Brennan heating and air conditioning has received Puget Sound Energy’s highest award for customer service and sales. This Platinum award is given to only one contractor in PSE’s contractor referral program per year. In May of this year Brennan was also awarded Puget Sound Energy’s first-ever Energy Efficiency Action Award.
I’ve been doing some research and here is what just a few of their satisfied customers are Saying:
I just wanted to say thanks for the professional service. Your technician did a good job of helping us choose the right products for our needs – the variable speed furnace for our home, and the two-stage furnace for the rental, not to mention a water heater, electric to gas conversion, and Napoleon gas fireplace.–K. Orton, Seattle
Thank you for the heat. Your staff was prompt, friendly, and extremely professional. We got much more than expected for the price, and are very appreciative. The crew was excellent, their installation was clean and the finished appearance is great.–C. Hendryx and A. Seffernich, Seattle
My husband and I met the Brennan crew when they first helped to install our furnace in our past home. Their professional manner in the installation of that furnace was evident. The house was immaculate when they left and they all continued to provide us support as we needed it. We were so impressed with your work that we decided to bring you back to install a gas insert in our family room. That room was transformed from an unusable space to a warm and inviting area.–M. & A. Nouwens, Shoreline
Your crew treated me with courtesy and respect and was very helpful in explaining what to expect from my new furnace. They are skilled craftsmen and did some creative modifying to allow me to continue to use a special filter in this furnace. Thank you for a job well done! –M. Hanson, Seattle
I’m thankful that I am not currently in need…but I’m keeping Brennan Heating and Air Conditioning on file for when I am in need of heating and air conditioning company with a good reputation. I like to know I’m dealing with one of the best.

A few weeks ago early one morning at the Starbucks on Everett Mall Way, I learned a Starbuck’s secret.
When you register your gift card (it is free to do this) you get free refills of drip coffee all day. Here is more details about all of the other free thing you receive from just registering you gift card: Register now by clicking on this link.
Enjoy the Benefits from registering you card:
- Two Hours of AT&T Wi-Fi
- Refills on Brewed Coffee
- Beverage Customization
- Free Beverage with purchase of whole bean coffee
I drink the grande drip; 1 or 2 regular in the morning then decaf the rest of the day. My record for the day is 7 refills; Starbuck’s water is just like bottle water so when I’m on the road I don’t have to pay a dollar something for water at the gas station.
PS It’s a little payback for selling the Sonics 
!: Mr. Schultz, no worries, I like the free benefits more than the Sonic and also a thank you to Mayor Nichols and team for keeping our name and history. Great customer service, I should re-buy your stock and ride it up like I did 10 years ago!

A momentary Lapse, originally uploaded by Jim Warner, Realtor.
I caught the sad story this week about the Richland man who got buried in a trench and died just weeks before his retirement. The company he worked for was fined $1,500 for not having a safety plan in place. Obviously there is a whole lot more to the story but it seemed like a low number fine for the seriousness of the outcome. As it turns out, lack of a safety plan is not an uncommon occurance on job sites. Just one of those things that takes time and money and never seems to be a priority until after the fact. That’s where my friend Kurt Stranne of Apex Saftey Consulting comes in. He spends his time educating companies and their employees about the few extra steps in a job or on a job site that can make a lifetime of difference. Whether you are a small company with big plans or a large company with a lot of small projects going on, it is the attention to detail that makes all the difference in the safety of your most valuable asset, your people. Many of these lessons can and should be applied at home though, especially when you have workmen performing tasks around your home. Often times, if a handyman or construction specialist is off the clock or doing a side job, there are all sorts of interesting things that can occur in the blink of an eye. Kurt has posted some intesting pictures of things he has seen out in the field. They make you think about, what if? Call Kurt or Visit his website, Safety Apex.com to get more information on how to protect yourself and others at home and on the job.

Claires Pantry, originally uploaded by Jim Warner, Realtor.
T-Mobile
When an old friend of mine called me this morning to say he was in town and wanted to know a good place for breakfast I didn’t hesitate to tell him to meet me at Claire’s Pantry, a restaurant in Downtown Edmonds. I can’t tell you how many times I have uttered those words. Claires has been an Edmonds Staple for good food and familiar people for decades. Originally founded by the Petosa family it has since changed hands but never lost it’s character. My friend ordered a “light” breakfast of fritata with Egg substitute and was presented with 2 plates of food and toast on a third. Just up the street from the Edmonds Post Office and accross from the Bank of America on Main Street, it’s a great place to stop by on your way to anywhere via the washington State Ferries. You can almost always find a local Realtor there as well.

My friend Colleen Bowman, owner of Ces’t la vie in Edmonds, is one of those people that always looks like she stepped out of a style magazine, no matter what she’s doing. She brings a sense of that style to everything she adds to the mix in this snappy little boutique in Downtown Edmonds. Yes, I know this post eminates from Lynnwood, but it is really about all of south Snohomish County and this place is a real find anyway you define it. Take a ten minute drive to Edmonds and you’ll find Ces’t la Vie on the main drag through town. Worth a quick trip to find a unique gift for that difficult to buy for special person in your Life. There are also many unique ideas for interior decorating and design. Colleen usually has some off the wall crafts or artwork that will catch the eye of a savvy shopper and a lot of affordable but stylish jewelry. Always something new and different when you walk in the door.
As local Realtor, Jim Warner would say, “Somethin’ funky going on around here!”
