The short answer

$5,800–$12,500

Installed price using your existing ductwork. Ductless (mini split) systems are priced separately — often less for smaller homes. Panel upgrades, when needed, are quoted upfront.

Typical industry ranges for Western Washington — not a quote. Your exact price comes upfront, before any work starts, and you approve it first.

What moves the price

1

Size (tonnage)

Matched to your home’s heat loss, not guesswork — an undersized heat pump leans on backup heat and eats the savings.

2

Efficiency and cold-climate rating

Standard units handle our lowland winters fine. Cold-climate models cost $1,500–$3,000 more and keep full output in a deep freeze.

3

What it replaces

Swapping an AC + keeping the furnace as backup (dual fuel) prices differently than fully replacing an electric furnace. Both are common here.

4

Electrical capacity

Some homes need a panel upgrade ($1,500–$4,000). You’ll know at the quote — never as a mid-job surprise.

One machine. Heat, cool, done.

Quick answers

Are there still rebates?

The federal 25C tax credit expired at the end of 2025. What’s left is real but changes: PSE rebates and Washington’s income-qualified programs. We tell you what’s active for your address when we quote — not a promise from an old flyer.

Do heat pumps actually work in Washington winters?

Our lowland winters are mild — close to ideal heat pump territory. Modern units heat efficiently well below freezing, with backup strips for the rare arctic blast.

Does one system really heat and cool?

Yes — it’s an AC that runs both directions. One outdoor unit, year-round comfort, and usually a lower bill than electric-resistance heat by a wide margin.
