Seattle
Heat Pump Installation in Seattle: what's different
Seattle homeowners are replacing oil furnaces and electric baseboard heat with heat pumps, gaining efficient heating and cooling for summer heat waves. Ductless systems suit Craftsman homes without ductwork.
Replacing an oil furnace often involves decommissioning the oil tank under local rules. Seattle City Light and state programs have offered incentives for heat pumps at various times.
Ask how many indoor heads you need and where they'll go. Many Seattle Craftsman homes do well with a ducted heat pump on one floor and ductless heads elsewhere. Also ask about the outdoor unit's sound rating if it will sit near a neighbor's window, and confirm electrical panel capacity.
