Central Air Installation in Kirkland: what's different here
Mid-century homes in Houghton, Juanita and Finn Hill sit on hilly view lots, so outdoor units and line sets often have to work around slopes and decks, while Moss Bay condos built since the 1990s have tight mechanical closets. To add central air to an older Kirkland home in Houghton, we first check whether the existing furnace ducts are large enough. If not, a heat pump with duct changes or ductless heads may cost less.
Permits and inspections
A new central air system needs a mechanical permit and usually an electrical permit for its circuit. Mechanical and plumbing permits in Kirkland go through the City of Kirkland Development Services. When the work needs a permit, we pull it, schedule the inspection and leave you the paperwork.
Utilities and rebates
Kirkland homes get electricity from PSE, and most have PSE natural gas. Kirkland homeowners may qualify for utility, state or federal rebates. We point you to the current programs for your address before you sign.
