Heat pump installation in Fife, WA
Home Comfort Alliance installs and replaces ducted, ductless and hybrid heat pumps in Fife from our Sumner headquarters, as an approved Tacoma Power contractor, with a room-by-room Manual J load calculation and the required permits on every installation. Tacoma Power supplies most Fife homes with electricity and PSE supplies natural gas, so the rebate you can get depends on how you heat today. Estimates are free.

Is a heat pump right for your Fife home?
Usually, yes. A heat pump heats and cools with one system, and what you heat with today decides both the best setup and the Tacoma Power rebate.
| What you heat with today | Usual heat pump option | Tacoma Power rebate to check |
|---|---|---|
| Electric baseboards or wall heaters | Ductless mini-split, or ducted if you have ducts | $1,000 (ductless up to 4 indoor units; $650 for 5 or more) |
| Electric forced-air furnace | Ducted heat pump on the existing ducts | $2,000 for a variable-speed heat pump; $1,000 for other air-source models |
| Gas or oil furnace | Ducted heat pump, or hybrid (dual fuel) with your furnace | $1,000 for a variable-speed heat pump |
| Older heat pump | Variable-speed replacement | $1,000 for a variable-speed heat pump |
| Ductless mini-split already | Repair or like-for-like replacement | No Tacoma Power heat pump rebate |
Not on Tacoma Power? A few Fife addresses get electricity from PSE. Check the name on your electric bill, and we will match you to the right program.
Ducted, ductless and hybrid heat pumps in Fife
- Ducted heat pumps replace a furnace or air handler and use your existing ductwork.
- Ductless mini-splits mount on the wall, one indoor unit per zone. They suit baseboard-heated homes, additions and finished garages (ductless systems, baseboard to heat pump).
- Hybrid (dual fuel) systems pair a heat pump with a newer gas furnace, which takes over on the coldest days (how dual fuel works).
We are a Mitsubishi Electric Diamond Dealer, Carrier Factory Authorized Dealer, Lennox Premier Dealer and Quilt dealer, and we service all major brands.
Sizing for Fife winters
We size every heat pump with an ACCA Manual J load calculation, room by room, rather than matching the old equipment. That matters most in older Fife homes with little insulation and in newer homes with large open rooms, where an oversized unit short-cycles and an undersized one leans on backup heat. For homes that want strong heat in a cold snap, we can recommend a cold-climate heat pump or pair the system with your gas furnace.
What a heat pump costs in Fife
Your price depends on the system type, the size your home needs, ductwork and electrical work, and where the outdoor unit goes. Get a price range in about 30 seconds with our free instant quote tool, then a technician confirms the exact price on a free in-home estimate. More detail: heat pump cost guide.
Regional benchmark, not our price: Angi lists Seattle-area heat pump installations at about $6,667 to $13,852, averaging $10,218 (updated July 8, 2026, Angi).
Tacoma Power rebates and 0% loans for Fife heat pumps (updated October 2026)
Tacoma Power supplies electricity to most of Fife. Home Comfort Alliance is an approved Tacoma Power contractor.
| Tacoma Power offer | Amount | Who qualifies |
|---|---|---|
| Ductless heat pump | $1,000 (up to 4 indoor units); $650 (5 or more) | Homes heated by electric baseboards, wall heaters or an electric furnace |
| Air-source heat pump | $1,000 | Homes heated by electric zonal heat or an electric forced-air furnace |
| Variable-speed heat pump replacing an electric furnace | $2,000 | Electric forced-air furnace homes |
| Variable-speed heat pump, non-electric heat or existing heat pump | $1,000 | Gas or oil homes, and homes replacing a heat pump (not homes that already received a Tacoma Power heat pump incentive) |
| 0% heat pump loan | Up to $20,000 over 7 years | Homes heated by electric baseboards, wall heaters or an electric forced-air furnace; pre-approval required; not for replacing an existing heat pump or ductless system |
Income-qualified homes may get a deferred loan with a rebate; ask us or Tacoma Power. Homes with PSE gas may also qualify for PSE's gas-side programs, which we confirm before we quote.

Permits in Fife
The City of Fife issues the mechanical permit for a heat pump through its online permit center. Tacoma Power, not Washington L&I, issues electrical permits and does the electrical inspection in Fife. We pull the required permits for every installation.
Electrical panel check
A heat pump needs a dedicated circuit, and some older panels lack the space or capacity. We check your panel on the estimate visit, and our licensed electricians handle any upgrade (panel upgrades, WA Electrical Contractor Lic. #HOMECCA782DC).
Replacing an older Fife heat pump
Signs it is time: frequent repairs, weak heat in cold weather, rising bills, or a system that uses R-22 refrigerant. Tacoma Power pays $1,000 when a variable-speed heat pump replaces an existing heat pump, unless the home already received a Tacoma Power heat pump incentive. Its 0% loan does not cover heat pump replacements. Not sure? Read repair or replace a heat pump, or see heat pump replacement.
How installation works
- Use our instant quote tool or call for a free in-home estimate.
- A room-by-room Manual J load calculation.
- Written options and prices, with the Tacoma Power rebate or loan each one qualifies for.
- We pull the City of Fife mechanical permit and the Tacoma Power electrical permit.
- Install day, start-up and a walkthrough. Most heat pump installations take between 4 and 10 hours, depending on the system type and how many systems we install.
- Inspection, rebate paperwork and first-year maintenance included.
Warranty and Home Comfort Club
New installations come with a 3-year Comfort Shield labor warranty, kept active with yearly maintenance. First-year maintenance is included. Home Comfort Club members with a new system installed by Home Comfort Alliance get extended labor coverage for up to 5 years from installation.
Home Comfort Club plans are $15 a month per trade (HVAC, plumbing or electrical) or $30 a month for all three, with yearly maintenance or inspections and member pricing (membership plans).
Where in Fife we install
We install heat pumps across Fife, including Firwood, Benthien Loop, City Center and Fife Heights, from our Sumner headquarters at 1524 45th St E, Suite 102, where you can walk in Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM. Nearby, see our Tacoma, Puyallup and Federal Way services.
Recent work in Fife
Our Sumner crews work in Fife every week, in homes and in the businesses along the I-5 corridor. A few recent jobs:
- October 2026: replaced the failed blower motor, pulley and stretched belt on a 10-year-old 5-ton Carrier gas pack unit at a Fife business, then started and tested the system.
- September 2026: brought two 7.5-ton Carrier units back into service for another Fife business: leak repairs after a nitrogen pressure test, new filter driers, condensing fan motors, fan blades and capacitors, and a full recharge.
- September 2026: replaced a failed motorized zone damper so two offices could heat and cool again.
- July 2026: a heating and cooling tune-up on an oil furnace and AC at a Fife home, one of several oil-heated Fife homes we maintain.
Oil and gas-heated homes like these are good candidates for a heat pump: Tacoma Power pays $1,000 for a variable-speed heat pump in homes with non-electric heat, and a hybrid system can keep a newer furnace as backup.
Fife heat pump installation FAQ
How much does heat pump installation cost in Fife?
Your price depends on your home's heating and cooling needs, the add-ons you need, how many rooms the system serves and where it's installed. Get a price range in about 30 seconds with our free instant quote tool, then a technician confirms the exact price on a free site visit. For reference, Angi puts the Seattle-area average at $10,218 (July 2026), before rebates.
What Tacoma Power rebates can I get for a heat pump in Fife?
If your home is on Tacoma Power and heats with baseboards, wall heaters or an electric furnace, you can get $1,000 for a ductless system (up to 4 indoor units, $650 for 5 or more) or an air-source heat pump, or $2,000 for a variable-speed heat pump that replaces an electric forced-air furnace. Gas or oil homes and homes replacing an existing heat pump can get $1,000 for a variable-speed heat pump. Amounts checked October 2026.
Can I get a 0% loan from Tacoma Power?
Yes, if your home heats with electric baseboards, wall heaters or an electric forced-air furnace. Tacoma Power offers 0% loans up to $20,000 over 7 years, with pre-approval. The loan does not cover replacing an existing heat pump or ductless system.
Does a ductless mini-split qualify?
Yes, when it replaces electric zonal or forced-air heat: $1,000 for up to 4 indoor units. Homes that already have a ductless heat pump don't qualify for another Tacoma Power heat pump rebate.
My home heats with gas. What can I get?
Tacoma Power pays $1,000 for a variable-speed heat pump in homes with non-electric heat. If your gas bill is from PSE, PSE's gas-side rebates may also apply. We confirm what you qualify for before we quote.
Can I keep my gas furnace and add a heat pump?
Yes. A hybrid system lets the heat pump do most of the heating and the furnace take over on the coldest days. We size the heat pump with a room-by-room Manual J load calculation so the switch happens at the right temperature.
Do I need a permit for a heat pump in Fife?
Yes. The City of Fife issues the mechanical permit, and Tacoma Power issues the electrical permit and does the electrical inspection in Fife. We pull the required permits for every installation.
How long does heat pump installation take?
Most heat pump installations take between 4 and 10 hours, depending on the system type and how many systems we install.
