Alpine Ductless answers your questions.
The system is easily controlled with a remote control that adjusts temperature or switches between heat and A/C. You can also opt for a wall-mounted control.
Ductless systems are ideal for replacing or supplementing inefficient electric baseboard, forced air, wood stoves and propane or kerosene space heaters. A cost-effective installation in a small house might consist of a single system serving the main area of the house, while leaving existing electric baseboards in bedrooms and bathrooms.
Homes Using Propane as a Primary Heating Source
Propane is one of the most expensive energy sources for heating your home. Depending on your location, heating your home with propane could be five or six times as costly as heating it with a ductless heat pump! Ductless heat pumps are a better all around choice for those using propane.
Room Additions
A ductless system is a great solution when a room is added onto a house or an attic is converted to living space. Rather than extending the home’s existing ductwork or pipes, a ductless system provides efficient heating and cooling without major construction.
New Construction
Ductless heat pumps are a great choice for today's modern home. New home designs can be adapted to take advantage of a ductless system’s many benefits. One or more systems might be installed in various “zones” of the house to simplify installation and minimize refrigerant line length.
While a ductless system can be used as a primary heat source, we encourage you to keep existing electric heating units as a supplement to your ductless system in case of extreme weather conditions or in hard-to-reach extremities of the home. We can go over all of this when we come to your house for a free consultation.

Yes! They are the most eco-friendly and efficient option available! Ductless systems operate using 25% to 50% (or more) less energy than electric resistance and forced air systems, making them one of the most eco-friendly choices available. Modern ductless systems have ultra-high Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratios (SEER) between 20 and 27, and Heating Seasonal Performance Factors (HSPF) between 10 and 12.5. Some new systems provide SEER ratings over 30 and HSPF values of more than 14 – almost unheard of even just a few years ago.

Heat Only Where You Need It
Ductless systems allow the user to control each heating/cooling zone independently, so you don't pay to heat or cool rooms that are not currently occupied.
Ductless Means No Energy Leaks
While central air systems lose as much as 30% efficiency through air leaks and conduction in the ductwork, ductless systems distribute air directly to each zone, resulting in 25% greater efficiency.
Advanced Technology
Ductless systems use inverter-driven, variable speed compressors that allow the system to maintain constant indoor temperatures. They run continuously without the great loss in operating efficiency commonly found in electric resistance and forced air systems.
bUILDING A GREAT IDEA
After building custom, green technology homes for 30 years, Cory knew one of the most important parts of building a great home was installing the right heating and cooling system. When it was time for the Eckert family to replace their own heating system, Cory set out to find the smartest solution on the market, and his research led him to ductless heat pumps.
At the time, ductless systems were already very popular in Europe and Asia because of their quiet, efficient performance. No other electric system matched their efficiency. Wanting to know if they were the 'real deal', Cory installed a ductless system in his family's home. The Eckert family was convinced. Finally, there was consistent comfort throughout their home, there were no more 'cold spots' and there was air conditioning, too!
From then on, Cory knew he had to get the word out about this environmentally-friendly technology. A few weeks later, he ran into his friend Mike Meisenheimer on a ski lift at White Pass and shared his enthusiasm.
Mike quickly became just as excited as Cory, and Alpine Ductless was born soon after. Sadly, Mike left Alpine Ductless in 2016, but Janette stepped in as co-owner soon after.

On top of manufacturer’s warranties, we offer a Three-Year Gold Service Guarantee that covers mechanical defects.
That's the best guarantee in the business!
Ductless technology has been around since the 1970s. With proper maintenance and care, a ductless system can perform for up to 20 years or more (Several of the major manufacturers have even increased their warranties up to 12 years). Many of the systems installed during the 1980’s are still functioning well today!
Ductless systems come in many sizes to meet the needs of your home or business, and we'll help you get the right unit installed. Common sizes for indoor units are 6k/7k, 9k, 12k, 18k, and 24k BTUs. More than one outdoor unit may be necessary for buildings with multiple zones.
Our team is proud to support the energy needs of homeowners and businesses in the counties of Thurston, Mason, Lewis, South King and Pierce, including the cities of Olympia, Lacey, Tumwater, Tenino, Yelm, Rainier, Rochester, Chehalis, Centralia, Shelton, Puyallup, Tacoma, Parkland, Lakewood, Federal Way, Renton and surrounding areas.
