Everything you need from the first quote to long-term maintenance.
Heat Pump Installation
If you’re putting in a brand-new system or replacing an old furnace or AC unit, we can install a modern, efficient heat pump that fits your home’s layout and electrical setup. We size your system carefully using load calculations, check ductwork, evaluate insulation, and make sure everything works the way it should.
Heat Pump Replacement
Maybe your current heat pump is old, too noisy, or breaking down too often. Or your furnace and AC are on their last legs. A replacement heat pump can lower your energy bills, improve comfort, and give you a quiet system that actually performs the way you want.
Heat Pump Repair
If your heat pump is blowing cold air in the winter, making strange noises, short-cycling, or giving off unusual smells, you probably need a repair. We troubleshoot quickly, check refrigerant levels, inspect electrical components, and fix what’s failing so your system can get back to work.
Heat Pump Maintenance & Tune-Ups
A yearly tune-up keeps your system running efficiently and can prevent expensive problems. We clean coils, check refrigerant, inspect wiring, test airflow, and make sure your thermostat is reading correctly. Most homeowners who keep up with maintenance see fewer breakdowns and lower bills.
System Diagnostics
We take a full look at your system when something feels “off.” That includes airflow balancing, checking ductwork, analyzing system performance, and inspecting thermostats and electrical connections. This helps us find hidden issues that most people overlook.

Why Heat Pumps Are So Popular in Healdsburg
If you’ve been hearing that “everyone is switching to heat pumps,” here’s why.
Lower Energy Bills
Heat pumps use electricity to move heat instead of burning fuel to create it. That’s way more efficient. A properly installed heat pump can cut energy bills significantly.
Heating + Cooling in One System
No more maintaining both a furnace and an air conditioner. One system handles everything.
Quiet Operation
Most new heat pumps are much quieter than older AC units or furnaces.
Works Perfectly in Our Climate
Healdsburg’s mild winters are ideal for heat pump performance. Even during colder evenings, modern units maintain warm, steady heat.
Eco-Friendly
They reduce carbon emissions, especially when replacing gas furnaces.
Zoned Comfort
Add a ductless mini-split or multiple air handlers and you can heat or cool rooms individually.
Common Heat Pump Problems in Healdsburg Homes
Here are issues homeowners call us about most:
- System not heating enough in the winter
- Poor cooling during high summer temperatures
- Frozen outdoor unit
- Short cycling (turning off and on constantly)
- Higher-than-normal energy bills
- Noisy operation
- Bad airflow from vents
- Strange smells
Most of these problems come from poor installation, leaking ducts, low refrigerant, electrical issues, or overdue maintenance. We fix all of that.
How We Install a Heat Pump the Right Way
Many homeowners don’t realize this, but the installation process has a bigger impact on performance than the brand you choose.
Here’s our step-by-step approach:
Step 1: Load Calculation
We evaluate your home’s square footage, insulation, number of windows, and layout. This prevents oversizing or undersizing — a common issue that leads to high bills.
Step 2: Inspect Ductwork
Old, leaky, or improperly sized ducts can kill system efficiency. We check them before installing anything.
Step 3: Electrical Check
We confirm your electrical panel can support the new heat pump. If upgrades are needed, we tell you ahead of time.
Step 4: System Installation
We install the outdoor unit, indoor air handler, refrigerant lines, and drain lines. We secure mounts, ensure proper airflow, and set up thermostats.
Step 5: System Testing
We test refrigerant levels, airflow, temperature split, and cycling times. We calibrate everything until it runs exactly how it should.
Step 6: Walkthrough & Warranty
We show you how to operate your new heat pump, explain the maintenance schedule, and go over your warranty details.
Rebates and Incentives
Many heat pump installations qualify for local or regional rebates, especially when replacing older, less efficient systems. These programs change often, but we’ll walk you through current options and help you with the paperwork.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Will a heat pump keep my home warm enough in winter?
Yes. Healdsburg winters are mild, and modern heat pumps work very efficiently here. Most homeowners find the heat steady and comfortable.
How long does a heat pump last?
Most systems last 12–18 years with regular maintenance. Coastal and rural areas with more debris or moisture may need more frequent tune-ups.
Do I need new ductwork?
Not always. We’ll inspect your current ducts. If they’re in good shape, we’ll use them. If they leak or are undersized, we might recommend sealing, replacing, or switching to a ductless system.
How much maintenance is required?
A yearly tune-up is ideal. Clean coils, proper refrigerant levels, and good airflow keep the system efficient and extend lifespan.
What size heat pump do I need?
It depends on your home. We perform a detailed load calculation to avoid oversizing or undersizing the system.
Are heat pumps noisy?
Modern units are much quieter than older AC units or furnaces. Most homeowners barely notice them running.
Can you install a heat pump in an older Healdsburg home?
Absolutely. We regularly install heat pumps in older homes near the Plaza, around Healdsburg Avenue, and in rural properties. We design setups that fit your home’s structure and electrical constraints.
