Heat Pump Installation
A correctly-sized heat pump cuts both winter and summer energy bills versus furnace-plus-AC in most PNW homes. We size based on the actual building envelope, recommend cold-climate-capable units when elevation or insulation warrants, and handle the rebate paperwork so you do not leave money on the table.
What's included
- Manual J load calculation against the home's actual envelope
- Equipment recommendation including cold-climate option when relevant
- Permit submittal with the local AHJ
- Install, refrigerant charging, and commissioning
- Rebate paperwork support — federal IRA, WA state, and PSE / Tacoma Power / PUD programs
- Owner walkthrough on settings, filters, and maintenance schedule
Who needs this
- - Homeowners replacing an aging furnace and considering electric conversion
- - Owners eligible for federal IRA, state, or utility heat-pump rebates
- - Builders meeting WA energy-code requirements on new construction
- - Owners on the plateau or higher elevation needing cold-climate heat pumps
FAQ
Heat Pump Installation questions
- Q.01Does a heat pump work in PNW winters?
- Yes. Standard heat pumps handle most PNW lowland winters. For higher elevation or extra-cold microclimates we install cold-climate heat pumps rated to roughly 5°F. We quote with backup-strip-heat sizing so you are covered on the rare extreme day.
- Q.02What rebates am I eligible for?
- Most PNW homeowners qualify for some combination of federal IRA tax credit, Washington state Inflation Reduction Act funds, and utility incentives. The mix depends on your income, utility, and equipment. We do the legwork to identify the stack you qualify for.
- Q.03Will my old ductwork support a heat pump?
- Sometimes yes, sometimes no. We measure existing duct sizing against the new unit's required CFM. If the ducts are undersized we tell you upfront — pushing too little air through too small ducts kills heat-pump efficiency and noise.
