One system that heats, cools, and sips energy
A heat pump replaces your furnace and your air conditioner with a single efficient system — and California is actively paying homeowners to make the switch. We install, repair, and maintain heat pumps across the Tri-Valley, and we'll help you navigate the rebates too.
How a heat pump works
A furnace makes heat by burning fuel. A heat pump doesn't make heat at all — it moves it. In winter, it pulls warmth from the outdoor air (yes, even on cold mornings) and transfers it inside. In summer, it runs in reverse, moving heat out of your home like an air conditioner. Because moving heat takes far less energy than generating it, heat pumps are dramatically more efficient than conventional systems — which shows up on your utility bill.
For Tri-Valley homes with mild winters and hot summers, the climate math is about as favorable as it gets.
What a heat pump gets you
Heating and cooling in one
One system, one maintenance schedule, one thing to think about — instead of a separate furnace and AC aging on different timelines.
Lower operating costs
Moving heat beats making heat. Heat pumps deliver the same comfort using significantly less energy than conventional systems.
No combustion in the house
Heat pumps run on electricity — no gas burned indoors, no flue, no combustion byproducts to manage.
California rebates
Programs like TECH Clean California offer real rebates for switching to a heat pump. We'll help you find what your project qualifies for and handle the navigation.
Already have a heat pump? We service those.
Watch for the signs
Low airflow, new noises, ice on the outdoor unit, or a system stuck in one mode — heat pumps telegraph trouble early if you're listening.
Diagnosed and quoted up front
The $149 diagnostic is waived with any approved repair, every repair is quoted flat-rate before work begins, and the quote is the final price.
Maintained for the long haul
An annual inspection keeps efficiency where it should be. BFF members get it included, plus 10–20% off repairs and priority scheduling.
Heat pump questions, answered plainly
Do heat pumps work in cold weather?
Yes — modern heat pumps extract heat from outdoor air even in temperatures far colder than a Tri-Valley winter ever gets. For our climate, they're a comfortable year-round fit.
Are there rebates for installing a heat pump?
Yes. California programs like TECH Clean California offer rebates for qualifying heat pump installations. Amounts and availability change, so we'll check what applies to your project and help with the paperwork.
Can a heat pump replace both my furnace and my AC?
In most homes, yes — that's the point. One system handles heating and cooling. Our installation work carries a 10-year warranty and a signed Personal Guarantee either way.
How long do heat pumps last?
With annual maintenance, roughly as long as a conventional system — typically 12–15 years or more. Regular service is what protects that lifespan.
