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.
ALAMEDA DETAILSPlanning a heat pump
Planning a heat pump
in Alameda.
Electric service in Alameda comes from Alameda Municipal Power (AMP), a city-owned utility, while gas still comes from PG&E. That changes which rebates apply and how the electrical side is coordinated.
01
AMP heat pump rebate
AMP lists a rebate of up to $1,500 for heat pump HVAC that fully replaces a gas furnace, with no gas backup heat and a switch to all-electric service. Confirm current terms with AMP before you sign.
02
Higher winter baseline
AMP's H rate code, for homes with permanently installed electric heat, has a larger winter Tier I allowance than the standard code. Ask AMP how a heat pump affects your account.
03
Fitting older homes
Victorians and Craftsman homes often lack usable duct runs, so ductless or slim-ducted systems are common. Bay Farm Island homes with attic ducts usually suit a ducted heat pump.

GOOD TO KNOW
Heat Pump Installation in Alameda: questions, answered.
What rebates exist for a heat pump in Alameda?
AMP lists up to $1,500 for heat pump HVAC that replaces the whole gas furnace, plus a separate panel upgrade rebate. State and federal options are listed at SwitchIsOn.org. Verify current terms first.
Is a permit needed for a heat pump in Alameda?
Yes. Heat pumps, mini-splits and furnaces are Express permit types in the City of Alameda's Accela Citizen Access portal. HAXX files it and meets the inspector.
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.
