HVAC and electrical in Redmond, WA.

Black Lotus serves all of Redmond from Downtown and Education Hill to Overlake, Grasslawn, Idylwood, and Bear Creek. Redmond's housing stock skews newer than Tacoma or older Seattle, which means most of our Redmond projects are straightforward single-day installs without the panel upgrade scope that comes with older neighborhoods. As a Puget Sound Energy Trade Ally, we apply the $1,200 instant heat pump rebate on your quote at install.

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

What Redmond homes specifically need

Redmond housing breaks roughly into three eras.

Each one calls for a different approach. The Education Hill rambler isn't the same as the Overlake townhome, and we don't pretend it is.

  1. 01

    1970s-80s split-level and ranch.

    Education Hill, parts of Grasslawn and Idylwood. Original 100A or 125A panels, gas furnaces from the 90s aging out. Heat pump installs typically include a panel upgrade. Full project $20,000 to $26,000 net after rebates.

  2. 02

    1990s-2000s subdivisions.

    Bear Creek, parts of Idylwood, north Overlake. 200A panels standard, modern ductwork. Most heat pump installs are 2-day straightforward retrofits, $14,000 to $18,000 net.

  3. 03

    Modern infill + Microsoft corridor.

    Downtown Redmond, Overlake townhomes, Bear Creek new construction. Already on 200A panels with high-efficiency gas. EV charger installs dominate; heat pump conversions are usually deferred until the existing furnace ages out.

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

The Redmond math

Why Redmond installs are usually the cleanest on the Eastside.

Redmond's housing skew newer means fewer panel upgrades, fewer K&T surprises, and faster installs. Most Redmond heat pump projects complete in 2 days flat.

The math:

  • PSE rebate $1,200 instant — Redmond is fully PSE territory
  • Federal IRA tax credit Up to $2,000
  • Operating cost savings $400 to $600/yr vs gas (PSE rates, average Redmond home)
  • AC included Critical for Overlake/Bear Creek homes facing summer heat domes

For a 2,400 sq ft Bear Creek subdivision home replacing a 2002 gas furnace, the 10-year net cost picture favors a heat pump by about $4,000 to $7,000 after rebates, credit, and operating savings. Lower install scope means faster payback than older neighborhoods.

The exception: Education Hill homes from the 1970s with original 100A service — those still need the panel upgrade before HVAC work. We catch it on the consult.
