Heat pump installation,
planned properly.
A heat pump replaces a furnace and AC with one system for heating and cooling. Good results come from sizing, layout and electrical planning done before equipment is ordered.
Ducted or ductless
Keep existing ducts when they are in good shape, or go ductless where ducts are missing, leaky or impossible to run.
Electrical capacity check
HAXX electricians review the panel and service before the install, so a surprise panel upgrade does not appear mid-project.
Brands we install
Mitsubishi Electric and American Standard systems, among others, matched to the home and budget.
Permits and inspection
HAXX pulls the mechanical and electrical permits and meets the city inspector.
Rebate paperwork
We point you to the rebates your address qualifies for and provide the equipment documentation programs ask for.
LOS GATOS DETAILSPlanning a heat pump
Planning a heat pump
in Los Gatos.
Los Gatos adopted local building code amendments in December 2025 that took effect with the 2026 code cycle. For existing single-family homes, a replaced air conditioner must now be a heat pump.
01
The Town's AC rule
Under the Town's reach code, replacing an AC in a single-family home means installing a heat pump. Repairs to an existing AC are not affected.
02
SVCE incentives
Los Gatos is a founding member of Silicon Valley Clean Energy, which offers rebates for heat pump HVAC that replaces a gas furnace, plus help with panel and circuit work. Check current amounts and rules with SVCE before work starts.
03
Fitting the house
Victorians and cottages with no attic ducts often take ductless or slim-ducted heads. Postwar ranch homes and newer houses with duct systems can usually take a ducted heat pump after a duct check.

GOOD TO KNOW
Heat Pump Installation in Los Gatos: questions, answered.
Does Los Gatos require a heat pump when I replace my AC?
For existing single-family homes, yes. The Town's 2026 code amendments require a heat pump when an air conditioner is replaced. HAXX can confirm how it applies to your project.
Who pulls the permit?
HAXX applies for the mechanical and electrical permits through the Town of Los Gatos Accela Citizen Portal and is on site for the inspection.
Can a heat pump heat my house on cold nights?
Yes. Bay Area winters are mild, and correctly sized heat pumps heat comfortably through them. Sizing and duct condition matter more than the brand.
How long does an installation take?
Most single-system replacements take one to three days on site. Permits, equipment lead times and any electrical work add to the overall timeline.
