Homes in Renton
Renton spans several building booms: wartime and mid-century ramblers in the Highlands and Kennydale, 1970s–'90s split-levels and two-stories on Talbot Hill, Benson Hill and Fairwood, and newer construction around the Landing and along the lake.
That range shows up in the equipment. Many older Renton homes still have their original 100-amp electrical panel, ductwork that was added after the fact, or a gas furnace well past its expected life. We check panel capacity and duct condition before quoting, so nothing surprises you on install day.
What we usually recommend in Renton
- Ducted heat pumps for split-levels and two-stories with sound ductwork.
- Hybrid systems for homes keeping a PSE gas furnace for the coldest days.
- Ductless mini-splits for Highlands ramblers with baseboard heat or rooms the ducts never reached.

Most Renton homes get both electricity and gas from PSE, which makes every PSE heat pump pathway available: hybrid systems that keep the gas furnace, electric-furnace and baseboard conversions, and the income-qualified gas-to-electric program.
Our rebate calculator shows which one fits, and we confirm eligibility during your estimate.
Older panels, bigger upgrades
A heat pump runs on electricity, so the electrical panel matters as much as the ducts. Some older Renton homes have room to spare; others need a new circuit, a subpanel or a panel upgrade to add a heat pump safely. We look at your panel during the estimate and put any electrical work in writing up front, instead of discovering it mid-install.
Permits in Renton
Renton requires mechanical permits for heating and cooling replacements and electrical permits for new circuits or panel work. We pull both and coordinate inspections.

From our Google reviews · 4.8★ across 200+ reviews
"From the beginning when Serge came out to our home to give an estimate for a new furnace, to the installation by Viktor and Kyrylo, everything went smoothly. The office personal were also pleasant to talk to. Highly recommend this company."
"These guys just installed a mini split in my home, and I couldn't be happier. From the office staff to the installers, everyone was friendly, explained everything completely, and I would definitely use them again if the need arises."
Renton heat pump & HVAC questions
Will my older Renton panel handle a heat pump?
Often yes, with a dedicated circuit. Some homes need a subpanel or panel upgrade. We check during the estimate and include any electrical work in your quote.
Can I replace my furnace and add AC at the same time?
Yes, and a heat pump does both in one system. If you want gas backup, a hybrid system pairs a heat pump with a new or existing furnace.
What rebates are available in Renton?
Most Renton homes are PSE electric and gas customers, so PSE's hybrid, electric conversion and income-qualified programs may all apply depending on your current system. Try our rebate calculator for an estimate.
