One system heats the house in January and cools it in August, runs on electricity, and qualifies for thousands in rebates. Bay Area mild winters mean heat pump efficiency stays high all year. Onzone installs ducted and mini-split heat pumps across the Bay Area.
We handle the load calc, the equipment selection, the electrical service upgrade if you need one, and the BayREN / PG&E / BAAQMD rebate paperwork. Most homeowners net out at less than a like-for-like gas furnace replacement after rebates.
Your aging gas furnace is due for replacement, and you want an efficient electric heat pump sized correctly for your home.
Heating and cooling costs keep rising, and your current equipment wastes energy during long Tri-Valley heating and cooling seasons.
PG&E and BAAQMD rebate requirements can be hard to track without proper equipment documentation, load calculations, and application support.
Some rooms stay too hot or too cold because the existing system, ductwork, or zoning setup is not matched correctly.
BayREN, PG&E, and BAAQMD all run heat pump rebates and they stack. We map your eligibility on the quote so the net price is honest. Most homeowners save thousands.
Heat pumps perform differently in Pleasanton inland heat than in Fremont bay influence than in Walnut Creek hill cold snaps. We size and configure for your actual microclimate, not a national spec sheet.
Older Bay Area homes often need a 200A panel upgrade for a whole-home heat pump. We do that work in-house or coordinate it cleanly with a partner electrician. No surprise quotes mid-project.
Before rebates, most whole-home ducted heat pumps fall in the $14,000 to $24,000 range. After BayREN, PG&E, and BAAQMD rebates, the net cost typically drops by $3,000 to $8,000. Income-qualified households can stack additional incentives. We map your eligibility on every quote.
BayREN, PG&E, and BAAQMD all run active heat pump programs. Amounts and qualification rules change every year, so we verify current eligibility during the quote. Income-qualified homeowners often qualify for the Inflation Reduction Act IRS tax credit and a state HEEHRA rebate on top.
Yes. Even the coldest Bay Area morning rarely drops below the high 30s. Modern inverter heat pumps maintain rated capacity well below freezing. We size with a small backup heat strip just in case, but most installs never use it.
Sometimes. Most homes built after 1990 have enough capacity. Older homes (Eichlers, mid-century) often need a 200A panel upgrade. We check on the site visit and tell you on the quote.
For most Bay Area homeowners, a heat pump replaces both AC and furnace, often nets out cheaper after rebates, runs on electricity (good for solar pairings), and qualifies for utility programs gas does not. The compare-the-numbers conversation happens at the quote.
