Load calculation and sizing
Equipment is sized to the house, not to the old furnace label. Oversized systems short cycle and cost more.

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 ALTOS HILLS DETAILSPlanning a heat pump
Planning a heat pump
in Los Altos Hills.
The Town has a goal of moving homes off natural gas by 2045 and requires all-electric heating in new homes. Existing homes can switch on their own schedule, with SVCE rebates to help.
01
Zoned for big floor plans
Large hillside homes often need two or more systems or a mix of ducted and ductless zones. HAXX sizes each area with a load calculation, not by rule of thumb.
02
Town permit paperwork
For heat pump space heating, the Town asks for CF2R-MCH-01 energy forms and an electric load calculation. HAXX prepares both and applies through eTRAKiT.
03
SVCE rebates
Silicon Valley Clean Energy serves Los Altos Hills and lists rebates for heat pump HVAC that replaces a gas furnace. Confirm current amounts and funding with SVCE before you sign.

GOOD TO KNOW
Heat Pump Installation in Los Altos Hills: questions, answered.
Do existing Los Altos Hills homes have to switch to a heat pump?
The Town's all-electric rule applies to new buildings, including new detached ADUs. Existing homes can keep or replace a gas furnace, though the Town encourages electrification.
Which documents does the Town want for a heat pump permit?
Energy compliance forms (CF2R-MCH-01) and an electric load calculation. HAXX prepares them and submits through the Town's eTRAKiT portal.
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.
