Cashmere, Monitor & Dryden · Chelan PUD territory
Whether your Cashmere home runs on an electric furnace, baseboards, gas or a heat pump that's near the end, there's a heat pump setup that fits it. Because Cashmere buys its power from Chelan PUD, leaving electric heat behind may also come with a utility incentive.

Your current heat decides most of it: the kind of system, the work involved and whether Chelan PUD's conversion money is on the table.
| What heats the house now | The usual heat pump setup | Potential Chelan PUD incentive |
|---|---|---|
| An electric furnace with ducts | A ducted heat pump with a new air handler, using the ducts you already have | $3,300 for a first-time switch from an electric furnace |
| Baseboards or wall heaters | A ductless mini-split, with a head in each area you want to control | $1,600 in a site-built house, $2,000 in a manufactured home |
| A gas furnace | Dual fuel: a heat pump for most of the season, the furnace for the coldest nights | Usually none, since the house isn't leaving electric heat |
| An older heat pump | A matched replacement heat pump and air handler | No conversion incentive; $600 possible on a variable-speed system |

Prices are before tax. We install Carrier, Lennox, Bosch, Mitsubishi and other leading brands, and we're a Carrier Factory Authorized Dealer. A vertical air handler runs $500 less than a horizontal one, and more ductless heads, longer line sets or panel work add to the figure. The online quote asks about your home before it prices it.
Chelan PUD takes the request from the contractor, so we send it once you pick a system and schedule the install after it's approved. Program rules are on Chelan PUD's heat pump rebate page.

Two ways to heat with a heat pump
Both heat and cool. The difference is what covers the coldest nights of a Cashmere winter.
Recent local work
In September 2026 our crew swapped out the heat pump at this Cashmere home for a new Carrier system, giving the house fresh equipment for both heating and cooling.
