Heat-pump and electrification circuits
We do residential electrical work only. The circuits behind going electric, at houses and ADUs.
Going electric usually means new circuits: a heat pump, a heat-pump water heater, an induction range, a heat-pump dryer. Your HVAC installer sets the heat pump, and we wire it. If the panel needs room first, we handle that too.

What this covers
Heat pumps, ducted and ductless
The circuit and the outdoor disconnect for a ducted heat pump or a ductless mini-split, and the circuit for the indoor air handler or backup heat when the system has one. We size the circuit from the equipment's nameplate and your installer's plans.
Heat-pump water heaters
A circuit for a heat-pump water heater, which often replaces an older electric tank on a different circuit size, or a gas water heater with no circuit at all.
Induction ranges and cooktops
A range circuit where there was gas, or a bigger one where the old range was smaller.
Heat-pump dryers and other appliances
Circuits for heat-pump dryers and the other appliances that come with going electric.
The panel behind them
Several new 240-volt loads can fill a panel. When yours needs a change first, see panel and service upgrades.
Working with your HVAC installer
We don't sell or install HVAC equipment. Your installer chooses and sets the unit, and we do the electrical: the circuit, the disconnect and any panel work. For HVAC companies that want an electrical contractor for their heat-pump jobs, see builders and trade partners.
Rebates
Puget Sound Energy and Snohomish PUD both have offered rebates on heat pumps and heat-pump water heaters, and heat-pump rebates usually go through the HVAC contractor the utility has enrolled. We can't promise a rebate or an amount. See rebates and programs to check for where to look.
Questions people ask
Do I need a bigger panel for a heat pump?
Sometimes. It depends on the heat pump, the backup heat, and what's already on your panel. We check at the site visit and tell you plainly what we find.
My installer says I need an electrical contractor. Can you work from their plans?
Yes. Send us the equipment model or its spec sheet and where the indoor and outdoor units go, and we'll wire to that.
Can you do the water heater and the range at the same time?
Yes, and it's often the better way: we look at all the new loads together and size the panel work once.
