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.
EAST PALO ALTO DETAILSPlanning a heat pump
Planning a heat pump
in East Palo Alto.
East Palo Alto has had building electrification reach codes since 2020, updated in 2023. They focus mainly on new construction, so a heat pump in an existing home is usually the owner's choice.
01
Sized for smaller homes
Many East Palo Alto houses are compact single-story homes. A room-by-room load calculation keeps the system from being oversized, which affects comfort and efficiency.
02
Utility programs
WestLight Energy (formerly Peninsula Clean Energy) serves San Mateo County, including East Palo Alto, and lists heat pump rebates for replacing gas equipment. Confirm eligibility and terms directly with WestLight Energy.
03
Flood-aware placement
In mapped flood areas, outdoor equipment may need to sit above a set elevation. HAXX plans pad or bracket height around City requirements.

GOOD TO KNOW
Heat Pump Installation in East Palo Alto: questions, answered.
Does East Palo Alto require a heat pump when I replace my furnace?
The City's reach code page describes requirements aimed at new construction and does not list a furnace-replacement rule for existing homes. Confirm current rules with the City Building Division.
How do permits work for a heat pump in East Palo Alto?
The City accepts building permit applications electronically by email to the Building Division. HAXX prepares and submits the application and attends 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.
