Everything Included, Nothing Extra

Your heat pump installation includes equipment removal, new system installation, electrical connections, and thorough testing. We handle all permits and inspections as part of the service.

Ductless heat pump installations work well for Livermore homes without existing ductwork or for adding climate control to specific areas. The outdoor unit connects to indoor units through small refrigerant lines that require minimal wall penetration.

Traditional ducted heat pumps integrate with existing ductwork after evaluation and any necessary modifications. The installation includes proper refrigerant charging, electrical connections, and thermostat setup. You receive manufacturer warranties on equipment plus labor warranties on our installation work.

How much does heat pump installation cost in Livermore?

Heat pump installation costs vary based on system size, type, and your home’s specific requirements. Ductless systems typically range from $3,000 to $8,000 per indoor unit, while whole-house ducted systems range from $8,000 to $15,000. The final cost depends on factors like your home’s square footage, existing electrical setup, and whether ductwork modifications are needed. You’ll receive a detailed written estimate that breaks down all costs before any work begins, so there are no surprises.

How long does heat pump installation take?

Most residential heat pump installations take one to two days to complete. Ductless systems with one or two indoor units can often be finished in a single day. Whole-house systems or installations requiring electrical upgrades may take two days. The timeline depends on your specific situation, including the complexity of the installation and any additional work needed. You’ll know the expected timeframe upfront, and we work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine.

Do heat pumps work well in Livermore's climate?

Heat pumps are excellent for Livermore’s Mediterranean climate. They provide efficient cooling during hot summers and reliable heating during mild winters. Modern heat pumps work effectively even when temperatures drop, and Livermore rarely experiences the extreme cold that can challenge older heat pump technology. The moderate climate means your heat pump won’t have to work as hard as it would in more extreme climates, leading to better efficiency and longer equipment life.

What's the difference between ductless and ducted heat pumps?

Ductless heat pumps use individual indoor units mounted on walls or ceilings, connected to an outdoor unit through small refrigerant lines. They’re ideal for homes without existing ductwork or for adding climate control to specific rooms. Ducted heat pumps work with your existing ductwork to heat and cool your entire home through the same vents as traditional systems. Ductless systems offer zone control and can be more efficient for smaller spaces, while ducted systems provide whole-house comfort through a centralized approach.

How much can I save on energy bills with a heat pump?

Most homeowners see 30-50% reductions in heating and cooling costs after switching to a heat pump from older electric resistance heating or aging air conditioning systems. Heat pumps move heat rather than generate it, making them much more efficient than traditional heating methods. Your actual savings depend on your current system’s efficiency, your home’s insulation, and your usage patterns. In Livermore’s climate, where you need both heating and cooling throughout the year, the savings add up quickly.

What maintenance does a heat pump need?

Heat pumps require basic maintenance to operate efficiently and last their expected 15-20 years. Change or clean filters every 1-3 months depending on usage. Keep the outdoor unit clear of debris, leaves, and vegetation. Schedule professional maintenance annually to check refrigerant levels, clean coils, and inspect electrical connections. Ductless systems need occasional cleaning of indoor unit filters and coils. This routine maintenance prevents most problems and keeps your system running efficiently, protecting your investment and maintaining your warranty coverage.
