Central Air Installation in Renton: what's different here
Mid-century homes in Cascade and the Highlands often have older gas furnaces and undersized ducts, and lakefront Kennydale homes deal with more humidity. To add central air to an older Renton home in Renton Highlands, 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 Renton go through the City of Renton Development Services. When the work needs a permit, we pull it, schedule the inspection and leave you the paperwork.
