North shore of Lake Chelan · Chelan PUD power
Manson has year-round houses among the orchards and vineyards, and lake places that get most of their use in summer. A heat pump serves both: cooling for the hot months and efficient electric heat for the cold ones. If your house runs on an electric furnace today, Chelan PUD may pay part of the switch.

Chelan PUD incentives for Manson
Manson buys its electricity from Chelan PUD, so the utility's residential heat pump program applies. The largest amount goes to houses leaving an electric forced-air furnace behind.
Potential utility incentive
$3,300
For a first-time conversion in a Manson home now heated by an electric forced-air furnace. Chelan PUD must approve the project before any equipment is ordered, and we file that request on your behalf.
Chelan PUD's current residential window covers April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2027. Its separate income-qualified program, which Chelan PUD lists as starting in fall 2026, is for primary residences. How the income-qualified program works →
Rebates are provided and approved only by Chelan PUD. Amounts and eligibility are subject to change. Ask us about standard heat pump rebates.
Lake houses and second homes
Plenty of Manson owners split their time between the lake and somewhere else. A heat pump fits that pattern well: it can hold the house at a low, steady temperature through the off season and bring it up to comfort before you return, with no wood stove or oil tank to tend.
A Wi-Fi thermostat, if you choose one, lets you see and change the temperature from your phone. We set it up on install day and walk you through the schedule.
Whether a part-time home qualifies for a Chelan PUD incentive is the utility's decision. We raise the question during pre-approval, so you have an answer before you commit to equipment.
Low enough to save power while nobody's home, warm enough to protect plumbing and finishes. We'll suggest a setting for your house.
Ask a neighbor to brush heavy snow off the unit and keep its sides open after a storm.
A pre-winter visit finds a tired part while the roads to the north shore are still easy.

Cost and what's included
Every range below includes installation. The right-hand column shows what a qualifying Chelan PUD incentive could change, and only where one applies.
| System | Installed price | With a Chelan PUD incentive |
|---|---|---|
| Ducted heat pump + air handler | $15,331–$26,702 | $12,031–$23,402 when it replaces an electric forced-air furnace and Chelan PUD approves the $3,300. |
| Dual fuel
heat pump + gas furnace |
$15,706–$26,748 | Usually no Chelan PUD amount, since the furnace stays. |
| Single-zone ductless
one indoor head |
$7,000–$8,700 | A first-time ductless conversion from electric heat may qualify for $1,600, or $2,000 in a manufactured home. |
| Multi-zone ductless
two or more indoor heads |
$11,000–$21,500 | Same ductless conversion amounts, if the house qualifies. |
Your number depends on the size of the house, the efficiency tier you pick and how much duct or electrical work the job needs. Ducted and dual fuel ranges match our online store, and ductless ranges come from our completed installs. Try the instant price tool for a figure on your own home, or read what drives heat pump replacement cost.
Chelan PUD's conversion money is for homes moving off electric heat. If your furnace burns gas, dual fuel keeps it for the coldest weather and adds a heat pump for cooling and mild-weather heat. We'll price it both ways so you can compare.
How the install works
Use the online price tool from wherever you are, or have us walk the house for a free estimate.
For a qualifying conversion, we submit the Chelan PUD request and wait for approval before ordering equipment.
The crew sets the outdoor unit up off the ground, connects the indoor side and runs heating and cooling before leaving.
A spring visit before the lake season and a fall visit before the cold keep the system ready.
Brands and warranty: we install Carrier, Lennox, Bosch, Mitsubishi and other leading brands, and Alpine Aire is a Carrier Factory Authorized Dealer. Each install carries the manufacturer's parts warranty (Carrier's runs up to 10 years) plus our own 1 year parts and labor. NATE-certified technicians do the work, and you approve the price before anything starts.
