A smarter comfort upgrade

Heating and cooling, made simpler.

Modern heat pumps move heat rather than relying only on resistance heating. They can deliver efficient heating and summer air conditioning from one system.

Year-round comfort
Heating in winter, cooling in summer.
Better control
Choose whole-home or room-by-room options.
Potential savings
Especially when replacing electric resistance heat.
Local guidance
Compare systems for Wenatchee Valley weather.
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 keeps 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 get in North Central Washington. We install several Carrier heat pump models, including the Carrier 37MURA ductless system.

Ductless mini-splits

Targeted comfort for individual rooms or multiple zones. No full duct system required.

Often best for: electric baseboard homes, additions and homes without ducts.

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.

How dual fuel works →

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.

Read: are heat pumps good enough for Wenatchee winters? →
  • Right-sized for winter. Sized for heating demand, not just summer cooling.
  • Appropriate backup heat. Depending on the system, that may be electric auxiliary heat or a gas furnace. We install both.
  • 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

A little help with the investment

Chelan PUD heat pump rebates.

Depending on your existing heat source, home type and qualifying equipment, Chelan PUD may provide a rebate. We handle the preauthorization and paperwork for you.

Potential utility incentive

$3,300

Electric furnace to qualifying ducted heat pump

For eligible Chelan PUD residential customers, applications received April 1, 2026 to March 31, 2027. Written PUD preauthorization is required before purchasing equipment. Paid by Chelan PUD, not Alpine Aire.

Rebates & financing →

Other Chelan PUD incentives

Electric resistance heating to ductless heat pump · site-built single-family home $1,600
Qualifying ductless conversion · manufactured home $2,000
Qualifying ductless conversion · multifamily (5+ units) $1,000
Standard heat pump to qualifying variable-speed heat pump $600

Income-qualified program: Chelan PUD lists an enhanced $4,300 ducted conversion rebate for income-qualified households, which Chelan PUD says starts in fall 2026. As of October 20, 2026 we could not confirm it is taking applications, so ask us before you plan around it.

Replacing a gas furnace with an all-electric heat pump doesn't qualify for these rebates, because utilities can't pay incentives for switching fuels.

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 our winters. Cold-weather capability and backup heat needs depend on your home, equipment and design. Many homes keep electric backup heat or a gas furnace for the coldest days.

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 wanted. Ducted systems provide central, whole-home comfort where ducts are suitable.

How much does heat pump installation cost?

A ducted heat pump with a new air handler runs $15,331 to $26,702 installed, and a dual-fuel system $15,706 to $26,748, before rebates. Eligible Chelan PUD customers converting from an electric furnace can take $3,300 off. Get your instant price.

Can I keep my existing gas furnace?

Often, yes. Many homes can use a dual-fuel setup, pairing a heat pump with a compatible gas furnace. The equipment pairing and controls need to be evaluated for your home.

Which Chelan PUD rebate could I qualify for?

Chelan PUD pays $3,300 for an electric furnace to ducted heat pump conversion and $1,600 for electric baseboard or wall heat to ductless in a site-built home. 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?

No. We handle the Chelan PUD preauthorization and rebate paperwork for you. Chelan PUD decides final eligibility and payment.

Can Alpine Aire repair and maintain my existing heat pump?

Yes. We also offer heat pump troubleshooting, repairs and preventive maintenance. Schedule service online.
