Chelan, Manson & Chelan Falls · Lake Chelan
Around the lake, the right replacement often depends on what heats the house today. Homes leaving an electric furnace may qualify for a Chelan PUD incentive toward a ducted heat pump, while propane and gas homes can keep their fuel or add a heat pump as dual fuel. Every estimate for a new system is free.

Chelan PUD incentives for Chelan and Manson
Chelan and Manson are in Chelan County, where Chelan PUD runs a heat pump incentive program. The biggest amount goes to homes that trade an electric furnace for a ducted heat pump for the first time.
Potential utility incentive
$3,300
For Chelan PUD residential customers. With it, a $15,331–$26,702 ducted heat pump and air handler would come to $12,031–$23,402 for a qualifying electric-furnace home.

Cost and what's included
These are installed prices before any incentive, covering a range of system sizes and equipment tiers. Your estimate pins down the exact number.
| Option | Installed price | Best suited to |
|---|---|---|
| Ducted heat pump + air handler | $15,331–$26,702 | Electric-furnace homes, and anyone who wants one system for heat and summer cooling |
| Dual fuel: heat pump + gas furnace | $15,706–$26,748 | Propane or gas homes that want cooling and a furnace kept as backup |
| Gas, propane or electric furnace alone | Free estimate | A like-for-like swap. Priced in your home because venting, size and ducts vary. |
Start with what you have
A ducted heat pump uses your existing ducts, adds air conditioning, and is the switch Chelan PUD's largest incentive is built around.
Look at: ducted heat pump
Replace the furnace on its own, or pair a heat pump with a new furnace so the heat pump does most of the work and the furnace covers cold snaps.
Look at: new furnace or dual fuel
Ductless mini-splits heat and cool room by room without adding ductwork, which suits many cabins and older lake homes.
Look at: ductless systems
We no longer use R-22. If your AC still runs on it, replacing the furnace and the cooling together can spare you a second project a few summers from now.
Living at the lake
Summers on the lake run hot and winters bring real cold, so many owners want heating and cooling from the same replacement. Plenty of houses here are second homes, and some sit empty for weeks at a time in winter.

In December 2025 our crew replaced the air handler in this Chelan home with a new Carrier unit. This was an air handler change-out rather than a gas furnace: the air handler is the indoor unit that moves warm air through the ducts.
