Edmonds is a tale of two housing markets: pre-1960 Bowl craftsmans with K&T that need full electrification, and post-1990 subdivisions that drop in heat pumps cleanly. We handle both with the same crew, same permit, same project.
The math:
- PSE rebate $1,200 instant — Edmonds is fully PSE
- Federal IRA tax credit Up to $2,000
- Operating cost savings $400 to $600/yr vs gas
- Insurance discount Most carriers drop 5-10% after K&T remediation
For a 1,800 sq ft Bowl craftsman doing the full electrification project (rewire + panel + heat pump), the 10-year net cost beats do-nothing by about $8,000 to $12,000 after rebates, credits, energy savings, and insurance discount for replacing K&T.
Bowl waterfront homes need marine-grade outdoor equipment — adds $300 to $500 but doubles equipment longevity in salt air.
