Do you charge a travel fee for Tacoma?

No. Tacoma is inside the core radius of our Federal Way headquarters — about 15 minutes down I-5 — so there is no travel charge on estimates or installations anywhere in the city.

Can a heat pump work in a 1920s Tacoma craftsman without ducts?

Yes. Ductless mini-splits are the most common answer: heads sized per zone, no ducts required, and lines routed to stay off the street-facing facade. For homeowners who want a single thermostat, compact-duct heat pumps can be routed through closets and soffits with far less demolition than full ductwork.

Does Tacoma Power offer heat pump rebates?

Tacoma Power runs rebate programs for qualifying ducted and ductless heat pumps, and Puget Sound Energy offers incentives on some gas equipment. Programs change through the year, so we confirm current amounts in your written proposal and handle the paperwork for you.

Heat Pump, Furnace & AC Installation in Tacoma

Tacoma is fifteen minutes down I-5 from our Federal Way headquarters, which makes it one of the cities our crews know best. From the North End and Proctor to South Tacoma, Eastside, and up the hill into Northeast Tacoma, we install heat pumps, furnaces, air conditioning, and ductless systems in homes that span more than a century of construction.

That century matters. Stadium District and North Slope craftsman homes built between 1900 and 1930 have balloon framing, plaster walls, and often no ductwork at all — a natural fit for ductless, or for a carefully routed compact-duct heat pump. South Tacoma and Eastside ramblers from the 1950s usually have gas furnaces on their third or fourth replacement, and the ducts underneath rarely got the same attention. We size for the house in front of us, not the average.

Tacoma also has an advantage most of the region doesn’t: Tacoma Power. Public-utility electric rates typically run below Puget Sound Energy’s, which means a heat pump’s operating cost pencils out faster here than almost anywhere in King County. Pair that with Tacoma Power’s heat pump rebates and the math for retiring an old gas furnace gets very short.

Housing stock we know

Craftsman and bungalow homes in the North End and Stadium District, 1950s ramblers across South Tacoma and Eastside, and 1990s–2000s builds in Northeast Tacoma — each with a different duct and electrical story.

Permits: City of Tacoma

Mechanical permits go through Tacoma Planning & Development Services. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and hand you the closed permit with your paperwork.

Utilities: Tacoma Power + PSE gas

Most Tacoma homes have Tacoma Power electricity and Puget Sound Energy natural gas. We spec rebate-eligible heat pumps and file the utility paperwork as part of the proposal.
