Heating in Seattle: what's different
Heating work in Seattle 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 Seattle pattern: heat waves. Homes without AC struggle during extreme heat. Another: oil furnace replacement. Many homeowners replace oil furnaces with heat pumps.
The heating services Seattle homeowners ask for most are furnace Repair. No heat, ignition failure, short cycling and pilot or flame sensor problems.
The Seattle Department of Construction and Inspections issues mechanical permits in the city. Heat pump installs are easiest to schedule in spring or fall. Oil tank decommissioning may be required when replacing an oil furnace.
