Our team specializes in gas to electric heat pumps conversions, ensuring each unit we install is properly designed and sized to meet your home’s specific needs.

What is a Heat Pump?

A residential air-source heat pump system offers an energy-efficient alternative to gas furnaces by moving heat in or out of your home instead of creating it. A heat pump consists of an outdoor unit that circulates refrigerant and an indoor air handler that pumps conditioned air directly into your living space, or through your home’s ductwork. 

During the summer, a heat pump works similarly to your refrigerator and extracts the heat found inside and pumps it outside to keep your living spaces comfortable. During the heating season, heat pumps can efficiently bring heat inside after extracting it from the outside air. Because of the mild climate we see here in the East Bay area, heat pumps are a great match for heating and cooling with several whole-home benefits, including:

• Energy savings - Because they move heat rather than generate heat, heat pumps can provide up to 4 times the amount of energy they consume.
• Quiet operation - Heat pumps are so quiet in operation that many people don’t even notice they’re on.
• Year-round comfort - Since a heat pump can both heat and cool your home, you can use it throughout every season of the year. 
• All-electric - Heat pumps can help improve your home’s indoor air quality because they don’t require fossil fuel combustion. They can also help you meet your home electrification goals.
