Heating, Cooling & Electrical in Gig Harbor, WA

Peninsula Light, a member-owned co-op — not PSE. It matters because PenLight runs its own heat pump incentive programme under Bonneville Power Administration rules, with its own approved-contractor requirement and its own amounts, entirely separate from the PSE and Tacoma Power programmes you'll read about elsewhere. Charlie's is an Approved Contractor with PenLight, so we can tell you what currently applies to your address.

Yes, routinely — Gig Harbor is one of our core service areas rather than an occasional trip. We're based in Fircrest, so the bridge is the direct route and it's a short run outside peak traffic.

Usually a ductless mini-split. A lot of the older homes down near the water were built without ductwork and there's nowhere sensible to add it, so a single-zone or multi-zone ductless system gives you efficient heating and summer cooling without opening up walls and ceilings.

For a lot of properties out here, yes. Wind events take lines down across the peninsula most winters and restoration takes longer the further you are from town — Fox Island and the Purdy end especially. A standby generator or home battery keeps the heat, the fridge, and a well pump running, and we handle the transfer switch and permitting as one job.
