Same valley, different power company

Why a Wenatchee rebate won't follow you over the bridge.

Rebates are set by whoever sends your electric bill, not by your mailing address. Here's how the two utilities in the valley line up for a heat pump project.

Program Douglas PUD (East Wenatchee) Chelan PUD (Wenatchee side)
Heat pump rebate None at this time Up to $3,300, for qualifying electric-furnace homes
Pre-approval paperwork Nothing to file for the heat pump itself Alpine Aire handles it for you

Rebates are provided and approved only by Chelan PUD. Amounts and eligibility are subject to change. Ask us about standard heat pump rebates.

Quote to first cool evening

How an East Wenatchee install goes.

  1. Price it yourself. Use the online quote, or phone us and talk it over.
  2. We confirm your utility. Douglas PUD or Chelan PUD decides which programs you can count on.
  3. A home visit settles the details. Sizing, ducts, the electrical panel and any insulation work.
  4. Install day. Our crew sets the equipment, runs the lines and tests heating and cooling.
  5. A walk-through before we leave. You'll know the thermostat, the filter and what the defrost cycle sounds like.

Start from what you have

All-electric house or gas house?

East Wenatchee neighborhoods have both. Your current heat is the quickest clue to the right system.

Heated by electricity

Baseboards, wall heaters or an electric furnace.

  • Baseboards or wall units: a ductless mini-split adds cooling with no ductwork
  • Electric furnace with ducts: a ducted heat pump and new air handler replace it
  • Either way, the summer AC comes built in

Heated by natural gas

A gas furnace, maybe with an old central AC.

  • Keep a healthy furnace and add a heat pump on top
  • The heat pump carries mild days; the furnace takes the coldest nights
  • We look at furnace age and condition before suggesting it

Asked by Douglas County homeowners

Heat pumps in East Wenatchee: your questions.

I live in East Wenatchee. Does the Chelan PUD heat pump rebate apply to me?

No, in most cases. That rebate is only for Chelan PUD electric customers, and East Wenatchee homes get their power from Douglas PUD. Your electric bill shows which one you have.

Is there any Douglas PUD money for a heat pump?

No. Douglas PUD does not offer any rebates at this time, so the installed prices on this page are close to what you'd pay.

What will a heat pump cost me in East Wenatchee?

Installed, a ducted system with a new air handler ranges from $15,331 to $26,702, and a heat pump paired with a gas furnace from $15,706 to $26,748. The online quote at alpineaire.net/shop prices your own home.

Can a heat pump handle a cold snap on this side of the river?

Yes, if it's picked for heating and sized for the house. Many homes also keep electric backup heat or a gas furnace for the very coldest stretches.

Do I have to get rid of my gas furnace?

Not necessarily. A dual-fuel setup keeps a sound furnace as the cold-weather backup and lets the heat pump do the rest. We check the furnace before recommending it.

Who services the heat pump after it's installed?

We do. Alpine Aire repairs and maintains heat pumps in East Wenatchee. Book online or phone (509) 436-1178.

A heat pump we put in near you.

New Carrier heat pumps on concrete pads, installed by Alpine Aire at a home in East Wenatchee, WA

Two Carrier heat pumps replaced for an East Wenatchee home

Completed

The job
Heat pump change-out on a home with two systems
Installed
Two new Carrier heat pumps on concrete pads

This East Wenatchee home runs two heating and cooling systems. In late August our crew changed out both outdoor heat pumps with new Carrier units, then came back a few days later to replace the matching indoor air handlers so each heat pump runs with a matched indoor unit.
