Heat Pump Installation, Repair & Maintenance in Seattle
Heat pump installation for most Seattle-area homes runs between $6,500 and $15,500, depending on system size, ductwork condition, and whether you go ducted or ductless. That range covers equipment and labor for a typical single-family home in King or Snohomish County. Repair and maintenance visits are priced separately once a technician diagnoses the issue on site.
Heat pumps are the most common heating and cooling upgrade we install across King and Snohomish County, where mild winters and warm summers make one system practical for both. Many Seattle-area homes built before the 1980s lack ductwork, so ductless mini-split heat pumps are a frequent fit. Whether you're replacing an aging furnace, adding cooling, or keeping an existing system running through the winter, this category covers installation, repair, routine maintenance, and emergency service.

Heat Pumps — FAQ
What does heat pump installation cost in the Seattle area?
Most installations land between $6,500 and $15,500. The lower end typically covers a single-zone ductless system in a smaller home, while the higher end applies to multi-zone ductless setups or ducted heat pumps replacing an existing furnace and coil. Final pricing depends on home size, electrical panel capacity, and ductwork condition, which a technician confirms during an on-site estimate.
How often should a heat pump be serviced in this climate?
We recommend maintenance once a year, ideally before the heating season starts in fall. King and Snohomish County's damp winters and pollen-heavy summers put extra load on outdoor coils and filters. Annual service checks refrigerant levels, cleans coils, and catches worn parts before they cause a breakdown during the first cold snap.
Is a ductless heat pump a good fit for older Seattle homes without ductwork?
Yes, ductless mini-splits are one of the most common upgrades we install in older King County homes, particularly bungalows and split-levels built before forced-air ductwork was standard. They avoid the cost of adding ducts and let you heat and cool specific rooms independently, which also helps with PSE or Snohomish PUD electric bills.
What counts as an emergency heat pump repair?
A system that's stopped heating or cooling entirely, is leaking refrigerant, tripping breakers repeatedly, or making grinding or screeching noises counts as an emergency. We're open Monday through Friday, 8am to 6pm, and prioritize same-day response for no-heat and no-cool calls during those hours. Call (206) 427-8907 to get on the schedule.
