Southwest Washington
Water Heater, Wall Heater & HVAC Electrical
Get the right power for hot water and year-round comfort. Tane Electric provides electrical circuits and connections for water heaters, wall heaters, heating systems, and air conditioning across Southwest Washington.
Plan the electrical work around your equipment.
Replacing a heater or adding air conditioning can change the electrical demand on your home. Colt reviews the equipment ratings, existing wiring, and available capacity before recommending the circuit and connection. Share the model information before installation so the electrical work can be coordinated with your plumber or HVAC contractor.
Electric water heaters
Many electric storage-tank water heaters use a dedicated 240-volt circuit. Heat pump water heaters may use 120 or 240 volts, depending on the model. Electric tankless units can require several high-amperage circuits and a substantial capacity review. We match the electrical supply and disconnecting arrangement to the manufacturer’s requirements. Plumbing connections and tank installation are handled separately.
Wall heaters and baseboard heat
Fixed electric wall and baseboard heaters need circuits sized for the heating load, with the correct supply voltage and compatible controls. A 120-volt heater cannot simply replace a 240-volt unit. We can discuss new circuits, replacement heater connections, and suitable line-voltage thermostats. Heater placement and required clearances must follow the selected model’s instructions.
Heating systems and heat pumps
Electric furnaces, heat pumps, and backup heat strips can have different circuit requirements. Some systems need separate supplies for indoor and outdoor equipment or additional electric heat. Even a gas furnace needs electrical power for its blower and controls. We coordinate the electrical supply, required disconnects, and connections with your HVAC contractor’s equipment schedule.
Air conditioning and ductless systems
Central air conditioners and ductless mini-splits need a power supply matched to their equipment nameplates. Circuit wiring and overcurrent protection are selected from the manufacturer’s ratings, with required disconnects and protection for the installation. Some indoor mini-split units receive power from the outdoor unit; others have different arrangements. Reusing an old circuit requires checking it against the new system.
Planning your project
Bring the equipment specifications.
Send Colt your property address, equipment model or contractor’s proposal, proposed location, and preferred installation date. Mention any other planned electrical additions. We can assess capacity, explain the electrical scope, and coordinate timing with your plumber or HVAC installer. A free estimate helps you understand the work before you proceed.
See our service area →Frequently asked questions
Before you get started.
Do you install the plumbing or refrigerant lines too?
This service covers electrical work. Coordinate water piping, gas piping, ductwork, refrigerant lines, and HVAC equipment commissioning with the appropriate contractor. We can plan the electrical connections around their requirements.
Will I need a panel or service upgrade?
Not necessarily. It depends on the existing electrical capacity and the new equipment load. Electric tankless water heaters and electric backup heat can add significant demand, so have the equipment specifications reviewed before purchasing.
Do I need an electrical permit?
New circuits and many electrical alterations require permits and inspections. We confirm the requirements for your project and coordinate the necessary electrical permits and inspections for our work. View Permits & Inspections →
