Planning around high ceilings and a cold bedroom in Redmond
High ceilings and a bedroom that felt colder in winter gave this Redmond home visit a clear focus. The homeowners were considering a heat pump, and the conversation included both equipment selection and how air moved through the house.
A bedroom that feels colder is a very different concern from a model number on a proposal. Here, it gave the walkthrough a practical purpose: understand that part of the home while planning the broader equipment change.
Measuring and checking airflow
We started at the gas furnace and electrical panel, then walked outside to look at a possible location for the new unit. The area beside the garage was being used for bins, so the discussion included where those could move and how the equipment would fit along the wall.
Inside, we measured rooms, windows and ceiling heights. We explained how those details contribute to heating and cooling load calculations.
The bedroom prompted a closer look at its register and a discussion about checking the flexible duct serving it. In the tall living space, we also discussed fan operation and the possibility of an additional return near the ceiling.
The installation
The final installation replaced the gas furnace with a Midea air handler and outdoor heat pump. It included a Wi-Fi thermostat and a dedicated electrical circuit with GFCI protection.
Completed in August 2026, the job photos show the new air handler in the garage and the outdoor unit beside the house, connected through a covered line route along the wall.
Planning your own project?
If one room is the reason you started looking at a replacement, make it part of the walkthrough. The room, its duct connection and your comfort goals belong in the conversation along with the new equipment.
