Kent, WA
Heating in Kent: what's different
Heating work in Kent follows the local climate. Long, damp, mild heating seasons mean heating systems run often at low load. Heat pumps are common, and older homes may still use furnaces or baseboard heat.
A common Kent pattern: baseboard heat costs. Homes with electric baseboard can cut bills by switching to ductless heat pumps. Another: heat waves. Recent heat waves have driven demand for cooling.
The heating services Kent homeowners ask for most are furnace Repair. No heat, ignition failure, short cycling and pilot or flame sensor problems.
The City of Kent Permit Center issues mechanical permits, and Washington licenses HVAC contractors through the Department of Labor and Industries. Puget Sound Energy has offered rebates.
