Better

High-Heat Heat Pump

About $16,300

A high-heat heat pump that keeps its heating power on our coldest nights, with a new air handler or paired with your gas furnace. Most paid about $11,700 after rebates and discounts.

Best

High-Heat Dual-Fuel System

What Pushes Your Price Up or Down

1

Size of Your Home

Bigger home, bigger system. A 5-ton unit costs more than a 1.5-ton. We size it with a load calculation, not a guess.

2

Standard vs High-Heat

High-heat models keep their heating power when it gets cold out. They cost more up front and lean less on backup heat.

3

Your Ductwork

Ducts in good shape keep the price down. Leaky or undersized ducts may need sealing or changes first.

4

Electrical Work

Some homes need a new circuit or panel work. We are electricians too, so it is one crew and one bill.

5

Indoor Unit

A new air handler, keeping your furnace as backup, or going ductless all change the price.

6

Rebates & Financing

9 in 10 of our heat pump customers got a utility rebate, about $2,700 on average (PSE, Tacoma Public Utilities, Seattle City Light and more). Plus Mayster discounts and special financing on approved credit.

Why Some Quotes Are Cheaper

No load calculation, no permit, bargain equipment, or a crew without the right licenses. Always ask what’s included.

Why Some Quotes Are Pricier

Big ad budgets, commission-heavy sales teams and add-ons you didn’t ask for. Higher price doesn’t always mean a better install.

Where We Land

We’re usually right in the middle. Not the cheapest bid, not the priciest. What you get for it: a Bryant Factory Authorized install, a real load calculation so your system is sized right, permits pulled, and any electrical done by our own electricians. Every new install comes with our 10-year labor and materials warranty. Our customers rate us 4.9 on Google across 731 reviews, and they keep mentioning the same things: we show up on time, explain every option, and leave the house clean.

Common Questions

Yes, for most homes. Our winters are mild compared to most of the country, and a high-heat model keeps heating well below freezing. If you want extra peace of mind on the coldest nights, a dual-fuel setup keeps a gas furnace as backup.

Most of our installs take just one day, about 8 hours. We set everything up properly, connect it all, and test the whole system to make sure everything works before we leave. Then we walk you through how it works and answer any questions you have.

Most homeowners do not. If your ductwork is in good condition, we hook the new system right up to it. If we see a problem with your ducts, we will show you and suggest what to fix so your system runs efficiently and keeps you comfortable.

Every new install gets our 10-year labor and materials warranty, and Bryant covers the manufacturer parts for 10 years.
