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.
ALBANY DETAILSPlanning a heat pump
Planning a heat pump
in Albany.
Most Albany houses date from about 1910 to 1950, and many MacGregor cottages are compact split-levels. Heat pumps fit them well when the outdoor unit placement and panel are planned early.
01
City rebate program
Albany runs its own heat pump rebate program with amounts tiered by household income, plus panel and water heater rebates. A permit is required to qualify. Confirm current funding with the city.
02
Outdoor unit placement
Albany's HVAC permit needs a site plan showing the condenser location and its distance to property lines. On narrow lots this decides the layout.
03
Ducted or ductless
Homes with a crawlspace or attic duct path can take a ducted heat pump. Split-levels and small cottages often do better with ductless heads.

GOOD TO KNOW
Heat Pump Installation in Albany: questions, answered.
Does Albany offer heat pump rebates?
The City of Albany has a heat pump rebate program with income-based tiers for HVAC and separate rebates for heat pump water heaters and panel upgrades. Funding changes, so confirm with the city before signing.
What permit does a heat pump need in Albany?
A building permit applied for through the city's Cloudpermit portal, with a site plan showing the outdoor unit and its distance to property lines. HAXX prepares 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.
