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.
ORINDA DETAILSPlanning a heat pump
Planning a heat pump
in Orinda.
Orinda gets warmer summers than Oakland and more winter rain than its neighbors, so a heat pump here must cover both. PG&E supplies electricity in Orinda, which is not part of MCE.
01
Load-based sizing
Two-story hillside homes and split-level layouts often need zoning or two systems. HAXX runs a load calculation instead of matching the old furnace size.
02
Permits through the County
Contra Costa County Building Inspection issues building permits in Orinda. A third-party ECC (formerly HERS) verification may be required before final.
03
Incentives
Orinda residents are not MCE customers, so MCE rebates do not apply. Check state and PG&E-area programs with an incentive search tool such as The Switch Is On before you sign.

GOOD TO KNOW
Heat Pump Installation in Orinda: questions, answered.
Are there heat pump rebates in Orinda?
Orinda is served by PG&E rather than MCE, so MCE rebates are not available. Contra Costa County reports the statewide TECH incentives were fully subscribed as of February 2026, so confirm any program's current status before relying on it.
Who issues the permit for a heat pump in Orinda?
Contra Costa County Building Inspection issues building permits for Orinda. HAXX prepares the submittal 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.
