Seattle / Clyde Hill
Clyde Hill is about 6 miles from the Census center point for Seattle in a straight line and covers 1.055 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).
Clyde Hill has 3,119 residents (give or take 23) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US5313365, checked 2026-10-19), about 2,956 people per square mile.
Of the 1,173 occupied homes in Clyde Hill, 73% heat with natural gas, 12% with heating oil, 14% with electricity and 0% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US5313365, checked 2026-10-19).
Clyde Hill has 10 points more oil heat than King County as a whole, where 2% of homes burn oil, and 41 points less electric heat than the county's 55% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US53033, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 73% of Clyde Hill against electricity at 14%, so most quotes here are a partial-home system that carries the shoulder seasons and the summer while the gas furnace handles the coldest nights, or a whole-home system when the house is ready for it.
The median Clyde Hill home was built in 1972 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US5313365, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 8.2 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US5313365, checked 2026-10-19).
Clyde Hill has 1,254 housing units, 0% built before 1940 and 66% before 1980, with 20% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US5313365, checked 2026-10-19).
Clyde Hill has 11 points fewer pre-1940 homes than King County as a whole (11%) and 10 points fewer homes built after 2000 than the county's 30% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US53033, checked 2026-10-19).
66% of Clyde Hill homes were built before 1980 and only 20% in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US5313365, checked 2026-10-19), so most of the stock predates modern insulation codes; the installer's heat-loss calculation, not a square-footage rule, decides the tonnage.
98% of Clyde Hill homes are single-family detached, 0% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 1% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US5313365, checked 2026-10-19).
With 98% detached houses and 0% in small multi-family buildings, a Clyde Hill quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 9% of Clyde Hill homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US5313365, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
Clyde Hill has 48 points more detached houses than King County overall (50%) and 37 points fewer five-plus-unit buildings than the county's 38% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US53033, checked 2026-10-19).
Only 9% of Clyde Hill homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US5313365, checked 2026-10-19), so nearly every quote here is the resident talking to the installer directly, and the rebate goes to the person living in the house.
No electric utility is on file for Clyde Hill 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 Clyde Hill address before counting it. With 14% of Clyde Hill homes already on electric heat and 85% 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 Clyde Hill 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 Clyde Hill address before counting it.
Median household income in Clyde Hill is $250,001 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US5313365, 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: 11F. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), King 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 11F figure is the King County cold-day number a Clyde Hill heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 11F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 73% of Clyde Hill on gas and 14% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Clyde Hill home has 8.2 rooms and was built around 1972, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
