Load calculation and sizing

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 DETAILSPlanning a heat pump
Planning a heat pump
in Los Altos.
Los Altos added its own $1,000 rebate for heat pump HVAC that replaces gas, administered through Silicon Valley Clean Energy and funded from a limited city budget. SVCE offers a separate rebate on top.
01
City rebate
The City of Los Altos lists $1,000 for a heat pump HVAC system that replaces gas heating, first come, first served while city funds last. Confirm availability with SVCE before you sign.
02
SVCE eligibility
The city rebate runs through SVCE, and the city has said eligibility is tied to being an SVCE customer. SVCE also has its own heat pump and electrical incentives.
03
Sizing for the house
A 1950s ranch on a quarter-acre lot and a new two-story with a basement need very different equipment. HAXX runs a room-by-room load calculation.

GOOD TO KNOW
Heat Pump Installation in Los Altos: questions, answered.
What heat pump rebates are available in Los Altos?
The City of Los Altos lists $1,000 for heat pump HVAC replacing gas, administered by SVCE, and SVCE offers its own rebate. Funds are limited, so check current terms with SVCE first.
Do I need a permit for a heat pump in Los Altos?
Yes. HAXX files the mechanical and electrical permits with the City of Los Altos Building Division 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.
