Central Air Installation in Seattle: what's different here
Older homes near Madison Park, Laurelhurst and Mount Baker often have oil or early gas furnaces, hot-water radiators, or no ductwork at all. To add central air to an older Seattle home in Madison Park, 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 Seattle go through Seattle Department of Construction and Inspections (SDCI). When the work needs a permit, we pull it, schedule the inspection and leave you the paperwork.
Utilities and rebates
Seattle homes get electricity from Seattle City Light, and most have PSE natural gas. Ask us which utility, state or federal rebates may apply to your address.
