Seattle / Anacortes
Anacortes has 17,966 residents (give or take 50) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US5301990, checked 2026-10-19), about 1,536 people per square mile.
Anacortes is about 61 miles from the Census center point for Seattle in a straight line and covers 11.697 square miles of land (Census 2024 Gazetteer internal points and land area, https://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/maps-data/data/gazetteer/2024_Gazetteer/, checked 2026-10-19).
The quote form takes a ZIP code; for Anacortes that is 98221 (Census 2020 ZCTA to county subdivision and ZCTA to place relationship files, ZIP areas at least 20% inside the town, https://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/maps-data/data/rel2020/zcta520/tab20_zcta520_cousub20_natl.txt and https://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/maps-data/data/rel2020/zcta520/tab20_zcta520_place20_natl.txt, checked 2026-10-19).
Of the 8,109 occupied homes in Anacortes, 70% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 27% with electricity and 2% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US5301990, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 70% of Anacortes against electricity at 27%, and a cold-climate heat pump sized for this market replaces the gas system outright, so the usual quote is a whole-home install.
Anacortes has about the Skagit County oil share of 1% and 14 points less electric heat than the county's 41% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US53057, checked 2026-10-19).
Anacortes has 8,801 housing units, 13% built before 1940 and 40% before 1980, with 30% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US5301990, checked 2026-10-19).
Anacortes has 3 points more homes built after 2000 than the county's 27% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US53057, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Anacortes home was built in 1989 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US5301990, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.9 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US5301990, checked 2026-10-19).
77% of Anacortes homes are single-family detached, 7% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 9% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US5301990, checked 2026-10-19).
With 77% detached houses and 7% in small multi-family buildings, a Anacortes quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 30% of Anacortes homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US5301990, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
No electric utility is on file for Anacortes on this door yet, so this page does not name one; the name on the bill decides which rebate path applies.
PSE heat pump rebates (electric resistance to ASHP conversion), run by Puget Sound Energy, is a live program for Washington addresses and covers qualifying equipment at $2,400 per system (registry row 14 verified 2026-10-14, https://www.pse.com/en/rebates/heating/electric-resistance-to-air-source-heat-pump-conversion-rebate, checked 2026-10-16); confirm eligibility for the Anacortes address before counting it. With 27% of Anacortes homes already on electric heat and 72% on gas, oil or propane, the row that applies depends on the name on the electric bill and the fuel coming out.
Seattle City Light heat pump instant discounts, run by Seattle City Light, is a live program for Washington addresses and lists a standard figure of $300 (registry row 47 verified 2026-10-16, https://seattle.gov/city-light/residential-services/home-energy-solutions/heating-and-cooling-your-home, checked 2026-10-16); confirm eligibility for the Anacortes address before counting it.
Seattle Clean Heat Program (oil to heat pump), run by City of Seattle Office of Sustainability and Environment, is a live program for Washington addresses and lists a standard figure of $2,000 (registry row 48 verified 2026-10-14, https://seattle.gov/environment/climate-change/buildings-and-energy/seattles-clean-heat-program, checked 2026-10-16); confirm eligibility for the Anacortes address before counting it.
Median household income in Anacortes is $91,951 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US5301990, checked 2026-10-19); many state and utility heat pump rebate programs set higher incentive tiers for income-qualifying households, so the household income on the application, not the town median, decides which level applies.
Heating design temperature: 23F. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), Skagit County row, 99% heating, PDF pages 133 to 135 of 141 (Revised 11/11/2020), https://www.energystar.gov/sites/default/files/Design%20Temperature%20Limit%20Reference%20Guide%20(2019%20Ed)%20-%20ENERGY%20STAR%20Single-Family%20New%20Homes_Rev11.pdf, fetched 2026-10-19, 99%.
That 23F figure is the Skagit County cold-day number a Anacortes heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 23F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 70% of Anacortes on gas and 27% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Anacortes home has 5.9 rooms and was built around 1989, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
