Why Choose a Heat Pump for Your Skagit County Home?
Heat pumps are an environmentally friendly solution for maintaining the perfect indoor climate. Unlike traditional heating and cooling systems, heat pumps transfer heat between indoor and outdoor climates rather than generating it, which makes them highly energy efficient.
Here are a few reasons to consider a heat pump for your home:
- Energy efficiency. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, heat pumps can deliver up to four times more energy than they consume, which significantly reduces utility bills.
- Year-round comfort. A heat pump is a single system that provides both heating and cooling, eliminating the need for separate equipment.
- Environmentally friendly. Heat pumps reduce carbon emissions compared to combustion-based heating, making them a strong choice for eco-conscious homeowners.
- Quiet operation. Modern heat pumps run quietly, so they won't disrupt a peaceful indoor environment.
Heat pumps are a smart investment. We offer flexible financing options with payment plans to make the investment more manageable.
What Does Heat Pump Installation Cost?
Every home is different, so we don't publish a flat price for heat pump installation, but a few factors consistently drive the investment:
- System capacity. The right tonnage for your home depends on square footage, insulation, and layout. Oversized or undersized systems both hurt efficiency.
- Ducted vs. ductless. A traditional ducted heat pump and a ductless mini-split system have different installation scopes and costs.
- Equipment tier. Efficiency ratings (SEER2/HSPF2) and features like variable-speed compressors affect both upfront cost and long-term energy savings.
- Existing setup. Ductwork modifications, electrical upgrades, or removal of an old system can all factor into the total project cost.
We'll walk through all of this with you during a free in-home consultation.

Types of Heat Pumps We Install
We offer a wide range of heat pump options to suit any home in Burlington and the surrounding area. Our experienced technicians can help you identify the right system for your home based on its size, layout, and your energy efficiency goals.
Here are the types of heat pumps we install:
- Air-source heat pumps. Ideal for moderate climates, these systems efficiently extract heat from the air to heat or cool your home. Cold-climate models handle colder temperatures with only a minimal increase in energy consumption.
- Ground-source (geothermal) heat pumps. For unmatched energy efficiency, a geothermal system is the way to go. These heat pumps use the stable underground temperature to provide heating and cooling.
- Ductless mini split systems. Perfect for homes without ductwork or for room additions, these compact systems provide zoned comfort and can often be installed in a single day.

Frequently Asked Questions About Heat Pump Installation and Replacement
How long does a heat pump installation typically take in a Burlington, WA home?
Most residential heat pump installations are completed in a single day, though the exact timeline depends on your home's existing ductwork and electrical setup.
Will a heat pump actually work well during Skagit County's cold winter months?
Yes. Modern cold-climate heat pump models are built to perform efficiently even at low winter temperatures, and we'll help you select a system rated for the kind of winters Skagit County sees.
How much does it cost to install a new heat pump, and does R & H Mechanical, Inc. offer financing?
Installation cost depends on system size, efficiency tier, and your home's existing setup, so we don't publish a flat price. We do offer financing options, subject to approved credit, to help make the investment manageable.
Do I need to already have a Trane or Daikin heat pump for R & H Mechanical, Inc. to service it?
No. While we're an authorized dealer for both brands, our technicians service, maintain, and repair heat pumps of any make or model.
What's the difference between a heat pump and a furnace, and which one is right for my home?
A furnace generates heat by burning fuel, while a heat pump moves existing heat rather than creating it, which makes it more energy efficient and lets one system handle both heating and cooling. We'll help you weigh the trade-offs for your specific home during a free consultation.
