What does your home use for heat now?
01
Electric baseboards or wall heaters
A ductless mini-split may add cooling and improve heating efficiency without installing full ductwork.
02
Electric furnace with existing ducts
A ducted heat pump with an air handler may be a natural whole-home upgrade.
03
Gas furnace or an aging AC system
Compare all-electric replacements with a dual-fuel system that can retain gas backup heat.
Find your best fit
Three ways to heat and cool your home.
We help you choose based on your current system, floor plan, comfort goals, and the winters we experience in North Central Washington.
Ducted heat pumps
Whole-home heating and cooling delivered through existing or properly designed ductwork.
Often best for: replacing electric furnaces or aging central HVAC systems.
Compare ducted options →Dual-fuel heat pumps
Pair an electric heat pump with a compatible gas furnace for flexible cold-weather operation.
Often best for: homes with gas service and suitable existing or new furnaces.
Discuss dual-fuel systems →Built for North Central Washington
But will it heat my home in January?
Yes, a properly selected heat pump can be an effective choice here. The details matter: the model, cold-weather output, sizing, airflow, and backup-heat plan.
Find My Best-Fit System →- Right-sized for winter. We evaluate heating demand, not just summer cooling.
- Appropriate backup heat. Depending on the system, that may be electric auxiliary heat or a gas furnace.
- Ductwork and insulation. Airflow and home conditions affect comfort and efficiency.
- Smart outdoor placement. Proper clearance, drainage, and snow protection matter in mountain communities.
No guessing games
What does a heat pump cost in Wenatchee?
Every home is different, but a realistic starting range helps you plan. These estimated Washington installed-price ranges are for budgeting—not a firm Alpine Aire quote.
Keep in mind: System size, equipment tier, duct changes, electrical upgrades and site conditions can change your price. Rebates are not included in the estimates below.
| Type of heat pump project | Planning range installed | What affects the price? |
|---|---|---|
| Single-zone ductless mini-split | $5,000–$9,000 | Indoor head, outdoor unit, electrical work and installation location. |
| Multi-zone ductless system
2–4 indoor zones |
$9,000–$21,000 | Number of rooms, lineset runs, controls and equipment selection. |
| Ducted heat pump + air handler | $12,000–$27,000 | Home size, capacity, ductwork condition and system efficiency. |
| Premium cold-climate ducted system | $15,000–$30,000+ | Cold-weather performance, variable-speed features and complexity. |
| Dual-fuel heat pump + furnace | $14,000–$25,000+ | Furnace and heat pump pairing, controls, venting and gas setup. |

Frequently asked questions
Answers before you upgrade.
Do heat pumps work during Wenatchee winters?
Yes. A properly sized, suitably rated system can heat a home through much of our winter. Cold-weather capability and backup heat needs depend on your home, equipment and design.
Is a ductless or ducted heat pump better for my home?
It depends on your existing heat, ductwork and floor plan. Ductless systems are especially useful where ducts are absent or room-by-room control is desired. Ducted systems can provide central, whole-home comfort where ducts are suitable.
How much does heat pump installation cost?
For budgeting, typical project ranges on this page start near $5,000 for a basic single-zone ductless project and can exceed $30,000 for premium or complex whole-home installations. Those are general planning ranges, not a quote from Alpine Aire. Request a project-specific estimate for accurate pricing.
Can I keep my existing gas furnace?
Often, yes. Some homes can use a compatible dual-fuel heat pump setup with a gas furnace. The equipment pairing and controls need to be evaluated for your specific home.
Which Chelan PUD rebate could I qualify for?
The standard residential program includes different incentives for eligible electric-furnace-to-ducted conversions, eligible zonal electric-to-ductless conversions and certain qualifying upgrades. Eligibility depends on your utility account, existing heating system, equipment and approval. Ducted conversions require preauthorization before purchase. See Chelan PUD requirements.
Do I need to arrange the rebate paperwork myself?
Alpine Aire can help explain the documentation and preauthorization steps. Confirm who will submit each application and when during your project consultation. Chelan PUD decides final eligibility and payment.
Can Alpine Aire repair and maintain my existing heat pump?
Yes. Alpine Aire also offers heat pump troubleshooting, repairs and preventative maintenance. Schedule service online.
