Leavenworth, Washington · Chelan County · Upper Wenatchee Valley
Not every home or cabin around Leavenworth was built with air conditioning, and hot, smoky summers make the case for adding it. We install central air, heat pumps and ductless systems from Leavenworth and Peshastin up to Plain and Lake Wenatchee, starting with a free in-home estimate.

Leavenworth, Washington
Leavenworth sits where the Wenatchee River leaves Tumwater Canyon, in the Cascade foothills of Chelan County. Summers can still run hot here, and wildfire smoke often settles into the valley late in the season, right when you'd rather keep the windows shut.
This page is for Leavenworth, Washington and the Upper Wenatchee Valley. We don't serve Leavenworth, Kansas.

Chelan PUD, April 1, 2026 to March 31, 2027
$3,300
For a qualifying first-time conversion from an electric furnace. We handle the Chelan PUD pre-approval before installing.
These amounts come from Chelan PUD, not from Alpine. If you'd like cooling and also heat with an electric furnace, a heat pump is often the better value once the incentive is counted. Heat pumps in Leavenworth →
Rebates are provided and approved only by Chelan PUD. Amounts and eligibility are subject to change. Ask us about standard heat pump rebates.
Choosing an installer
We install Carrier, Lennox, Bosch, Mitsubishi and other leading brands, and we're a Carrier Factory Authorized Dealer.
The manufacturer's parts warranty (Carrier's runs up to 10 years) plus Alpine's own 1-year parts and labor coverage.
Our NATE-certified technicians cover Leavenworth for repairs and tune-ups, with after-hours emergency service when you need it. AC repair in Leavenworth →

We no longer use R-22, and it is no longer produced. When an R-22 system starts leaking, replacing it is usually the practical choice, and every system we install today uses a current refrigerant.

This install was down the valley in Wenatchee, not the Upper Valley: we don't have a Leavenworth-area AC install with photos that we can show yet. In April 2025 our crew swapped the home's old air conditioner for a new Carrier unit. We do the same work in Leavenworth, Peshastin, Plain and Lake Wenatchee.
The install, step by step
We look at your heating, ducts, electrical panel and the rooms that overheat, then price the options that fit.
If a heat pump or ductless conversion may qualify with Chelan PUD, we file the pre-approval before installing.
The crew sets the equipment, connects it and tests it in cooling mode. For a heat pump, heating mode too.
We show you the controls and filter, and go over the warranty and any utility paperwork.
