Shopping for air conditioning in Cashmere, WA? You have three good routes: central AC that works with your furnace, a heat pump that also heats, or ductless. We'll walk the house, explain which fits and price it at a free estimate.

This page is part of our home cooling guide for North Central Washington.
Start with the house
Three questions narrow it down quickly. Our comfort advisor asks the same ones at the estimate.
Ducts in good shape open the door to central AC or a ducted heat pump. No ducts usually points to ductless.
A healthy gas furnace pairs well with a new AC coil and condenser. An electric furnace or baseboards make a heat pump worth pricing.
Hot upstairs bedrooms or a converted garage may only need one or two ductless heads.
Ducted home, gas furnace with life left, and you mainly want summer cooling.
Ducted home heated by an electric furnace, or a furnace and AC that are both near the end.
Baseboard heat, no ducts, or a few rooms that never keep up in July.

Replacing an older unit that runs on R-22? We no longer use R-22, so we'll price a full replacement rather than a refill.

Recent local work
This one was in Wenatchee, not Cashmere: we don't have a Cashmere-area AC install with photos to show yet. In July 2026 our crew replaced the home's old air conditioner with a new Carrier unit. We do the same work in Cashmere, Monitor, Dryden and Peshastin.
