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 Kirkland's housing stock actually does in a wet October and a cold January, and we install systems that work for it.

What Kirkland homes specifically need

Kirkland housing breaks roughly into three eras.

Each one calls for a different approach. The Juanita ranch quote isn't the same as the Houghton townhome quote, and we don't pretend it is.

  1. 01

    1970s ranch and split-level.

    Juanita, parts of Rose Hill, older Finn Hill. Original 100-amp panels are at capacity once you add a heat pump. Gas furnaces from the 90s and early 2000s are aging into replacement. Ductwork is usually salvageable but often undersized for modern heat pump airflow. Full conversion (panel + heat pump + duct mods) runs $22,000 to $28,000 net.

  2. 02

    1990s through early 2000s subdivisions.

    Bridle Trails, parts of Finn Hill, Totem Lake. 200-amp panels are standard, ductwork is adequate, gas furnaces are aging out around now. Most installs are straight heat pump retrofits, 2-day install, $14,000 to $18,000 net after rebates.

  3. 03

    Modern infill (post-2010).

    Houghton townhomes, Totem Lake apartments, modern Kirkland builds. Heat pump systems often pre-installed; our work here is maintenance plans, IAQ upgrades for smoke season, and EV charger installs.

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

The Kirkland math

Why Kirkland homes pencil out so well for heat pumps.

Kirkland's housing mix is uniquely positioned for electrification: the 1970s-90s ranch belt is right at the furnace-replacement decision window, and the newer Houghton/Bridle Trails subdivisions already have the electrical capacity to bolt on a heat pump cleanly.

The math:

  • PSE rebate $1,200 instant — Kirkland is fully PSE territory
  • Federal IRA tax credit Up to $2,000
  • Operating cost savings $400 to $600/yr vs gas (PSE rates, average Kirkland home)
  • AC included Heat pump replaces both furnace and any planned AC condenser

For a 2,000 sq ft Juanita ranch replacing a 1996 gas furnace, the 10-year net cost picture favors a heat pump by about $5,000 to $8,000 after rebates, credit, and operating savings — even after factoring the panel upgrade most older Kirkland homes need.

The exception: homes with 60-amp service entrance from the original 1960s build. In those cases we run a load calc first and may recommend a 200A or 400A upgrade depending on planned EV charging.
