Local · Born + raised

The three of us, Chase Tasca, Parker Reed, and Charlie Lightsey, were all born and raised in Seattle. Each of us has over a decade in the HVAC trade. Combined, we've seen what Issaquah's housing stock actually does in a wet October and a cold January, and we install systems that work for it.

What Issaquah homes specifically need

Issaquah housing breaks roughly into three eras.

Each one calls for a different approach. The downtown 1965 ranch isn't the same as the Highlands 2012 build, and we don't pretend it is.

  1. 01

    Pre-1990 downtown and Olde Town.

    Downtown Issaquah, Olde Town, lower Squak Mountain. Original 100A panels, 1990s gas furnaces now end-of-life. Heat pump install includes panel upgrade, $20,000 to $26,000 total.

  2. 02

    1990s-2000s plateau and Highlands early.

    Issaquah Highlands phase 1, Pickering Place, parts of Squak Mountain. 200A panels standard. Most installs are 2-day retrofits, $14,000 to $18,000 net.

  3. 03

    2005-2020 Talus and Highlands modern.

    Talus, Issaquah Highlands phase 2-3, Park Pointe. 200A panels, high-efficiency gas. EV chargers and maintenance dominate; heat pump conversions defer until furnace ages out.

We do consults that account for which Issaquah you live in.

The Issaquah math

Why Issaquah heat pump installs split into two patterns.

Issaquah is a tale of two housing markets: pre-1990 downtown homes that need full electrical upgrades to support a heat pump, and post-1995 plateau/Highlands homes that drop a heat pump in cleanly.

The math:

  • PSE rebate $1,200 instant — Issaquah is fully PSE
  • Federal IRA tax credit Up to $2,000
  • Operating cost savings $400 to $600/yr vs gas (PSE rates)
  • AC included Critical for west-facing Highlands homes

For a 2,400 sq ft Issaquah Highlands subdivision replacing a 2001 gas furnace, the 10-year net cost picture favors a heat pump by about $4,500 to $7,500. For a downtown 1975 ranch, the heat pump pencil widens once you factor the panel upgrade is needed regardless for any future electrification.

Issaquah is more wind-exposed than central Seattle, so backup generator pairing comes up more often. We bundle the electrical scope.
