Heat Pump Installation
Heat Pump Installation
A heat pump is a single system that cools in summer and reverses to heat in winter, moving heat instead of burning anything to make it. San Diego suits one well, because heat pumps lose efficiency in genuine cold and we do not get much of it here. For a house facing both a new AC and an aging furnace, one heat pump replaces two pieces of equipment and takes gas combustion out of the heating side of the house. We size and install ducted heat pumps and ductless mini splits in homes, new construction and light commercial, on Daikin, Trane, Carrier, Bryant, Mitsubishi and Fujitsu equipment. Eddie looks at the system and the electrical panel in person before any number gets put on it. Financing runs 2.99% through Housecall Pro, or 50% down spread over one to three years. If a straight AC and furnace pairing is the better fit for your house, we will say so.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does a heat pump work in San Diego?
San Diego is close to the ideal climate for one. Heat pumps lose efficiency in genuine cold and we do not really get any, so the weakness that makes people hesitate in other parts of the country barely applies here.
Should I replace both my AC and furnace with one heat pump?
If both are aging, often yes. One heat pump frequently costs less than replacing two systems, and it takes gas combustion out of the house entirely. If only one of the two is failing, keeping the other and pairing a straight AC or furnace can be the better value, and we will say so.
Do heat pumps work with solar?
They pair naturally with it, because the heating side runs on electricity rather than gas. If you already have panels or are planning them, that shifts the maths noticeably in favour of a heat pump.
Ducted heat pump or a ductless one?
If you have serviceable ductwork, ducted usually makes sense. If the ducts are poor, or you are conditioning an addition or ADU, a ductless heat pump mini split avoids the cost of fixing or running ducts. We install both and size for the cooling load first, then check it against the heating requirement.
Will you tell me if a heat pump is the wrong choice for my house?
Yes. Eddie has been doing this since 2018 and the business runs almost entirely on referral, which only works if the advice is straight. If a conventional AC and furnace pairing is the better value for your particular house, that is what we will recommend.
