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.
SAN RAFAEL DETAILSPlanning a heat pump
Planning a heat pump
in San Rafael.
San Rafael's FlexPath code for existing single-family homes awards the most points for a heat pump space heater. The city's grid utility is PG&E, with generation from MCE.
01
FlexPath remodels
Larger remodels of pre-2011 homes must reach a target score from the city's measure menu. A heat pump for space heating earns more points than any other single measure.
02
MCE incentives
MCE lists heat pump HVAC incentives. Terms change, so confirm eligibility with MCE.
03
Housing type matters
Eichlers with radiant floors usually suit ductless or slim-duct systems. Ranch homes with working ducts can often take a ducted heat pump after a duct check.

GOOD TO KNOW
Heat Pump Installation in San Rafael: questions, answered.
Does San Rafael require a heat pump?
Not for a simple equipment swap. San Rafael's FlexPath code applies to larger remodels of older homes, where a heat pump is one of the menu options. Confirm with the Building Division for your project.
Are there heat pump rebates in San Rafael?
MCE lists heat pump incentives, and Switch Is On lists other programs. The County's Electrify Marin rebate no longer takes new applications. Confirm eligibility with MCE.
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.
