When it’s time to install a new heating or cooling system, a heat pump is the best option, especially in California.
At A-1 Guaranteed, we’ve been installing heating and cooling systems in California homes since 1996. We’re committed to making our customers’ homes as comfortable, healthy, and energy efficient as possible with the systems we install, which is why we recommend heat pumps.
Here’s why.
Benefits of Installing a Heat Pump
- Saves on Energy Costs
Heat pumps are the most energy efficient option for home heating and cooling.
Even in California, where electricity rates are high, a heat pump can cost less to run than other types of HVAC systems, especially baseboard heating, oil, and propane.
They use very little energy and can reduce your electricity usage for heating by up to 75%. Plus, when you switch from oil or gas to electric heat, you won’t have to pay a gas/oil bill anymore, making up for any increase in electricity usage.
- No Gas Leaks or Combustion Byproducts
Heat pumps are all-electric and don’t burn fuel inside your house the way a furnace or boiler does. There’s no risk of carbon monoxide leaks, and you won’t be pumping harmful combustion byproducts into the air your family breathes if there’s a venting problem with your system.
- Heating & Air Conditioning in One
A heat pump is the only type of HVAC system that can provide both heating and air conditioning. They have two modes, so you can easily switch back and forth between heating in the winter and air conditioning in the summer. If you need to replace your heating system or want to install air conditioning, it only makes sense to go with a heat pump and get two HVAC upgrades for the price of one.
- Works With or Without Air Ducts
Heat pumps come in ducted and ductless options, so you can install them with or without central air ducts. If your house already has ducts, a ducted heat pump can provide centralized heating and cooling. If you don’t have ducts, or you want to add heat/AC to a new addition or sunroom, a ductless heat pump makes it easy.
- Adheres to Gas Bans
The future of home heating is all-electric. California is phasing out gas and will soon ban the sale of new gas furnaces and water heaters. Installing a heat pump now prepares you for gas bans and lets you take advantage of rebates and tax credits while they’re still available. Plus, you’ll be cutting carbon emissions and creating a more sustainable future for your children and grandchildren.
How Much Does a Heat Pump Cost?
Heat pump costs can vary depending on the type of system you install. But the cost is generally comparable to a new furnace or central air conditioner. And, unlike a furnace, which can only heat or an AC that can only cool, a heat pump does both. It’s like getting two new HVAC systems for the price of one.
