Everything Included, Nothing Extra

Your heat pump installation includes professional sizing calculations to ensure optimal efficiency. We don’t guess – we calculate the exact capacity needed for your home’s square footage, insulation, and layout.

All necessary permits and inspections are handled by our team. We coordinate with the San Carlos building department and schedule required inspections so you don’t have to deal with paperwork.

Every installation includes a thorough walkthrough of your new system. You’ll understand how to adjust settings, when to change filters, and how to maximize efficiency for the lowest possible energy bills.

Heat pump installation costs in San Carlos typically range from $8,000 to $15,000 depending on the size of your home and system complexity. Ductless mini-split systems often cost less than whole-house ducted systems. The investment usually pays for itself within 5-7 years through energy savings. We provide detailed estimates that include equipment, labor, permits, and any electrical upgrades needed. Many homeowners also qualify for utility rebates that can reduce the upfront cost by $1,000 or more.
Heat pumps work exceptionally well in San Carlos because of our mild Peninsula climate. Modern heat pumps operate efficiently in temperatures down to 15°F, and San Carlos rarely gets that cold. Our Mediterranean climate is actually ideal for heat pump technology. You’ll get excellent heating performance even on the coldest winter nights, and superior cooling efficiency during warm summer days. The consistent temperatures mean your system won’t have to work as hard as it would in extreme climates.
Most heat pump installations in San Carlos take 1-2 days to complete. Simple ductless mini-split systems can often be installed in a single day. Whole-house systems or installations requiring electrical upgrades may take two days. We’ll give you an exact timeline during your estimate. The process includes mounting outdoor units, installing indoor units, running refrigerant lines, connecting electrical, and thorough testing. We clean up completely and walk you through system operation before considering the job finished.
Heat pump sizing depends on your home’s square footage, insulation quality, ceiling height, and window efficiency. A typical 1,500 square foot San Carlos home needs about 2-3 tons of capacity, but proper sizing requires professional calculation. We perform detailed load calculations that factor in your home’s specific characteristics. Oversized systems waste energy and don’t control humidity well. Undersized systems struggle to maintain comfort. Our sizing ensures optimal efficiency and comfort for your specific home.
Yes, several rebate programs are available for San Carlos homeowners installing heat pumps. PG&E offers rebates up to $2,000 for qualifying high-efficiency heat pumps. The Peninsula Clean Energy program provides additional incentives for electric heat pumps. Federal tax credits may also apply for energy-efficient installations. We help you identify all available rebates and handle the paperwork to ensure you receive maximum savings. These incentives can significantly reduce your upfront investment while you enjoy long-term energy savings.
Yes, we coordinate all electrical work needed for your heat pump installation. Many San Carlos homes need electrical panel upgrades or new circuits to support modern heat pump systems. We work with licensed electricians who understand local codes and permit requirements. All electrical work is included in your installation estimate – no surprise charges later. We handle permits, inspections, and coordination so you don’t have to manage multiple contractors. Everything is completed to San Carlos building code standards with proper permits and inspections.
