Heat pump installation in Oakland
We install and repair heat pumps in Oakland homes, both ducted systems and ductless mini splits. Each system is sized to the house and permitted with the City of Oakland.
Heat pump options for Oakland homes
The right system depends on whether the house has ducts, how it is laid out, and how much electrical capacity it has.
- Ducted heat pump
Replaces a forced-air furnace and uses the existing ducts if they are sound.
- Ductless mini split
A good fit for homes heated by wall heaters or floor furnaces, with no ducts at all.
- Dual fuel
A heat pump paired with a gas furnace backup, where rules and the house allow it.
- Heat pump repair
Cold air in heat mode, a noisy outdoor unit, or ice that won't clear.
How a heat pump installation works
We look at the house, the ducts if there are any, and the electrical panel. Many older Oakland homes need panel work before a heat pump goes in, and we tell you that up front.
You get a written price that covers the equipment, the installation and the City of Oakland permit. Nothing is ordered until you approve it.
