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

What Seattle homes specifically need

Seattle housing breaks roughly into three eras.

Each one calls for a different approach. The Beacon Hill quote isn't the same as the Belltown quote, and we don't pretend it is.

  1. 01

    Pre-1950 craftsman and bungalow.

    Beacon Hill, Wallingford, Madrona, Greenwood, Phinney Ridge. Often still on knob-and-tube wiring at least partially. Original panels at 60 to 100 amps. Adding a heat pump usually means panel upgrade and sometimes partial rewire before the HVAC work can start.

  2. 02

    Mid-century to 1980s.

    West Seattle, Magnolia, Madison Park, parts of Capitol Hill. Panel typically 100 to 200 amps. Many still on the original gas furnace from the 1990s, now end-of-life. Heat pump conversion is straightforward; AC isn't typically present which makes the dual-purpose argument stronger.

  3. 03

    Modern infill.

    South Lake Union, Eastlake, Belltown, Ballard new construction. Already on 200-amp panels with high-efficiency gas. Heat pump conversion is easier electrically but often delayed because the existing furnace is still young. EV charger installs are the most common request from this housing stock.

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

The Seattle math

Why Seattle homes pencil out so well for heat pumps.

Seattle's combination of mild winters and increasingly hot smoke-affected summers makes heat pumps the right answer for almost every home considering a furnace replacement.

The math:

  • PSE rebate $1,200 instant
  • Federal IRA tax credit Up to $2,000
  • Operating cost savings Typically $400 to $600/yr vs gas (PSE rates, average Seattle home)
  • AC included No separate $5,000 to $7,000 cooling system needed (more critical now during smoke season)

For a 2,200 sq ft Seattle craftsman replacing a 1998 gas furnace, the 10-year net cost picture favors a heat pump by about $4,000 to $7,000 after stacking rebates, credits, and operating cost savings. That gap widens for homes in west-facing locations where summer cooling matters more.

The exception: homes with active knob-and-tube wiring that can't safely support the new load. In those cases we rewire first, then install the heat pump.
