Heat Pump Installation in Washington: what's different

Heat Pump Installation across Washington depends on the climate (IECC climate zones 4–6). Heat pumps fit marine climates very well because winters are mild and summers are short. Mini-splits are a popular way to add cooling to homes that never had it.

In Washington specifically: heat waves. Homes without AC are vulnerable during extreme heat; heat pumps add cooling. Baseboard heat costs: Ductless heat pumps cut costs in homes heated with electric baseboards.

Washington contractors register with the Department of Labor & Industries, and HVAC electrical work requires a specialty electrician certification. Ask any contractor for their license number before work starts, and expect a written price for heat Pump Installation.

Puget Sound Energy, Seattle City Light, Avista and many public utility districts supply electricity. PSE, Avista and Cascade Natural Gas supply gas.
