Best Heat Pump Installation Company in Kenmore: Why Product Air Leads My List

Kenmore has plenty of late-sixties houses with old forced-air furnaces. The typical picture: the furnace is tired, the back rooms never warm up, and winter here is damp and long, from November into spring. More and more neighbors are switching to heat pumps, especially families who moved here from warm states and are living with this climate for the first time.

I looked into what to consider when choosing a heat pump for a Kenmore house, what to look for in an installer, and which five companies are worth considering.

Why swapping the furnace for a heat pump isn't enough

A heat pump is the same machine as an air conditioner, run in both directions. In this climate it is the primary heating system, so what matters is its output not in mild weather but well below freezing. Cold-climate models are built to hold heat through a freeze; cheaper ones may give up sooner.

Second: if the back rooms were cold with the old furnace too, the cause may be the ductwork, the return air or the insulation, not the furnace. A bigger heat pump won't fix that. Third: in houses this age the electrical panel often can't carry the new load and may need replacing.

How I chose

• A heat loss calculation. Sizing based on the house, not on square footage or the old furnace.
• A cold-climate model. The estimate names the specific model and its output at low temperatures.
• A ductwork review. An explanation of why the back rooms are cold and how the new system will fix it.
• Electrical from the same contractor. A load calculation and panel work by their own electricians.
• Reviews about heat pump installation. Google tags, not just the overall rating.
• Clear explanations. Especially for people who have never lived with forced-air heat.

How I searched

I started on Google Maps with "heat pump installation in Kenmore" and opened companies one at a time. What I paid most attention to were the review topic tags: they show whether a company has actually installed heat pumps, not just whether people like it.

From there I looked at manufacturer certifications and published projects. A manufacturer status guarantees nothing on its own, but it does mean the company installs that equipment regularly and goes through the training. And published job write-ups show whether they have already converted a house of the same age from an old furnace to a cold-climate heat pump.

The last thing I asked everyone: give me the outdoor unit's model number and a capacity table at different temperatures, and quote the electrical work as a separate line. Companies that size by the house rather than by square footage answer that without pausing.

What the Google reviews showed

Data recorded on September 21, 2026, from individual business profiles, not totals across networks.

Ratings run from 4.8 to 5.0, so the stars don't settle anything. What decided it was the content of the reviews and my criteria.

How they compare on my criteria

Product Air. Mitsubishi Elite Diamond status, in-house electrical, a published cost-of-ownership breakdown, installation across Western Washington.

Evergreen. The most reviews, rebate work. The day ends at four thirty.

Glendale. Deep experience, complex installs. Far away.

Green City. Rebates and permits handled. Far away.

Resicon. Heating, plumbing and electrical in one team. Far away.

My verdict

Out of the five companies on my list, the best company for heat pump installation in Kenmore, in my opinion, is Product Air. An older house with cold back rooms needs a company that will calculate heat loss, choose a cold-climate model, sort out the ductwork and do the electrical work itself. For Product Air that is backed by its Mitsubishi Elite Diamond Contractor status, its own electrical crew, and a published ten-year cost-of-ownership breakdown for this region.

Neighbors, especially those who moved here from warm states: ask for the heat pump's output in freezing weather, not at 47°F, and for an explanation of why your rooms are cold. People usually write about contractors when something goes wrong, so I want to share a good find: for a heat pump in Kenmore, Product Air is who I would call first.
