The people behind the trucks
Meet the Farwest crew
Customer reviews of Farwest read like a roll call, because people remember who showed up. Here is that roll call, department by department, from the owner to the electrical apprentice. The story of how a one truck shop got here is on the about page.
Leadership
Burt Ross owns and runs the company. Nate and Tyler are the Comfort Advisors you meet first, at your kitchen table, before a crew is ever scheduled.

Nate
Comfort Advisor and Install Manager

Tyler
Commercial Comfort Advisor
“Nate was our initial contact, and he walked us through the process and gave us our options with honesty and clarity.”
Install department
Jaime plans each project, Zack and Ryan lead the installs, and Luis and Wyatt set the equipment. They are the ones tearing out the old system and leaving the new one clean.

Ask for someone by name
If a neighbor told you to ask for Nate, or you want Payton back out for a follow up, say so when you call the office. We would rather send the person you already trust. Browse what the crew does on the services page, or contact the office at (509) 457-5346 to set up a visit.
