Replacing Both Your AC and Furnace

Two aging systems

What we do
We explain how a heat pump compares with your current setup and install the system that fits your home.
Plan ahead

AC Failed and Furnace Is Aging

Time to rethink both

What it means
When your air conditioner fails and the furnace is also getting old, replacing them together with a heat pump may make sense.

Older Heat Pump Using R-22

Phased-out refrigerant

What it means

What we do
We identify the refrigerant your system uses, explain what repairs make sense and walk you through replacement options.
Upgrade

Moving to Electric Heating

Looking beyond gas

What it means
A heat pump heats with electricity, so it can be an option if you want to move away from a gas furnace.

Upgrade

Heating and Cooling a New Space

Addition or new build

What it means

Right-Sized Heat Pump

What Size Heat Pump Does Your Home Need?

Three things our technicians weigh before recommending a new heat pump, plus a quick home-size check for a ballpark tonnage.

  • Right-sized, not oversized

    A heat pump that is too big short-cycles, which wears the compressor out sooner and leaves rooms damp and uneven. One that is too small never catches up on hot afternoons or cold nights.

  • A load calculation, not a guess

    We measure square footage, insulation, windows, ceiling height and ducts to size the heat pump, instead of copying the old unit.

  • Efficiency (SEER2 & HSPF2) pays back

    Higher SEER2 and HSPF2 ratings cost more up front but use less electricity for cooling and heating, and they can lower your power bills year after year.

Quick size check

How big is your home?

Often 1.5 to 2 tons

Small homes and condos usually fit a compact heat pump or a ductless mini-split. Insulation and window area can move the number, so we confirm with a load calculation.

Often 2 to 3 tons

The most common range for single-family homes here. Ceiling height, insulation and duct condition decide where you land.

Often 3 to 4 tons

Larger homes need more capacity and strong airflow. We check your ducts so a bigger heat pump can actually deliver the comfort.

4 to 5 tons or two systems

Very large homes often stay more comfortable with two zones or two systems. We measure the home and recommend the setup that keeps every room comfortable.

These are ballpark sizes only. Request an estimate and we will size your heat pump with a proper load calculation, then give you a written price.

Booking & Trust6 questions

How much does heat pump installation cost?

Choosing Your System6 questions

What is a heat pump and how does it work?

A heat pump moves heat instead of making it by burning fuel. In summer it cools your home like an air conditioner by moving heat outside. In winter it reverses and moves heat from the outdoor air into your home. One system provides both heating and cooling.

Do heat pumps work in Southern California?

Yes. Heat pumps work best in mild climates, and Southern California's mild winters are well suited to them. We look at your home and explain how a heat pump would perform for you before you decide.

Should I choose a heat pump instead of an AC and furnace?

A heat pump can replace both a separate air conditioner and a furnace with one system, which can be a good fit when both are aging or when you want to move away from gas heating. We explain how it compares with your current setup, equipment options and prices side by side. Compare with our AC installation and furnace installation pages.

What size heat pump does my home need?

A heat pump has to handle both your heating and your cooling needs, so sizing depends on your home's layout, insulation, windows, sun exposure and ductwork. Too large or too small a system affects comfort and efficiency. We check your home during the visit and size the heat pump to it.

Will I need electrical upgrades for a heat pump?

Heat pumps run on electricity, so we check your electrical panel capacity, breaker, wiring and disconnect. Some homes need upgrades and others do not. If any are needed, they are included in your price before you approve the work.

Should I repair or replace my heat pump?

It depends on the system's age, how often it has needed repairs, the refrigerant it uses and the cost of the fix compared with a new heat pump. A system that keeps breaking down or no longer heats and cools well is usually a replacement candidate. We explain both options and the price for each. See the signs it is time for a heat pump and our heating repair page.

Installation Day6 questions

How long does heat pump installation take?

Many standard replacements are finished in about a day. Replacing both an air conditioner and a furnace, ductwork changes or electrical upgrades can take longer. We tell you what to expect before we start so you can plan.

What happens during a heat pump installation?

Our licensed technicians remove the old equipment, set the new outdoor unit, connect the indoor unit, refrigerant lines and electrical, set up the condensate drain and thermostat, then test both heating and cooling. See the full step-by-step installation visit above.

Can I use my existing ductwork with a heat pump?

Sometimes. Ducts that are in good shape, correctly sized and well sealed can often be reused. Leaky or undersized ducts waste energy and cause uneven rooms. California's energy code may also require duct testing or sealing when equipment is replaced. We inspect your ducts and explain what applies to your home.

Do I need a permit for a heat pump?

Most California cities require a permit to replace or install HVAC equipment. When we go over your price, we explain what your city requires so there are no surprises.

Do I need to be home during the installation?

Someone should be home to give our technicians access and to join the final walkthrough, when we show you how the heat pump and thermostat work in both heating and cooling.

Will you test heating and cooling before you leave?

Yes. We test the heat pump in both heating and cooling, check airflow, the thermostat and the electrical connections, then walk you through how it works before the job is complete.

Cost, Financing & Care6 questions

Do you offer financing for a new heat pump?

Larger projects like a new heat pump may qualify for financing through our partner Acorn Finance, subject to credit approval. Learn how it works on our HVAC financing page.

What affects the cost of a new heat pump?

The main factors are the size and efficiency of the equipment, whether it replaces an air conditioner, a furnace or both, the condition of your ductwork and electrical, permit requirements and the removal of the old equipment. We explain each part of the price.

Are there rebates or incentives for a heat pump?

They may be. Utility, state and federal incentive programs change from year to year, and eligibility depends on the equipment and your home. Ask us which efficiency ratings and equipment types you would need, and check with your utility for current offers. Heat pumps are often a focus of efficiency incentive programs, so it is worth asking.

What warranty comes with a new heat pump?

Manufacturer warranties on the equipment vary by brand, model and registration, and labor coverage varies by project. Ask for the warranty terms in writing before you approve the price so you know exactly what is covered and for how long.

How long does a heat pump last?

Most heat pumps last about 10 to 15 years. Because a heat pump works for both heating and cooling, it runs more hours than an AC alone, and regular HVAC maintenance helps it reach the upper end of that range.

How often should a heat pump be serviced?

Because a heat pump runs in both seasons, many technicians recommend a tune-up once or twice a year, such as before summer and before winter. Regular HVAC maintenance keeps coils and drains clean and catches small problems early.
