Your heat pump installation includes everything needed for a fully functioning system. We handle the electrical connections, refrigerant lines, drainage, and any required mounting or ductwork modifications. All materials and components are included in your upfront price.

For ductless installations, we strategically place indoor units for optimal air circulation and aesthetic appeal. You get individual zone control, which means different temperatures in different rooms without wasting energy on unused spaces.

We also provide a complete system startup and performance verification. This includes testing all safety controls, verifying proper refrigerant levels, and confirming that your new system is operating at peak efficiency before we consider the job complete.

How much does heat pump installation cost in Fremont?

Heat pump installation costs vary based on your home’s size, the type of system, and any electrical or structural modifications needed. Ductless mini-split systems typically range from $3,000 to $8,000 for most Fremont homes, while whole-house ducted systems can range from $8,000 to $15,000. The investment usually pays for itself within 5-7 years through energy savings. We provide detailed, written estimates after evaluating your specific situation, so you know exactly what you’re paying for before any work begins.
Heat pumps are actually ideal for Fremont’s moderate climate. Unlike areas with extreme cold, Fremont rarely sees temperatures below 40°F, which means heat pumps operate at peak efficiency year-round. Modern heat pumps can effectively heat homes even when outdoor temperatures drop to 15°F, so Fremont’s mild winters are well within their optimal range. The Bay Area’s climate allows heat pumps to achieve their highest efficiency ratings, maximizing your energy savings compared to traditional heating and cooling systems.
Ducted heat pumps connect to your existing ductwork system, similar to a traditional central air conditioner and furnace setup. This works well if you already have ducts in good condition. Ductless systems, also called mini-splits, have individual indoor units mounted in each room or zone, connected to an outdoor unit by small refrigerant lines. Ductless installation is less invasive and often more efficient since you’re not losing energy through ductwork. It also gives you individual room control, so you can heat or cool only the spaces you’re using.
Most heat pump installations take one to two days for completion. Ductless systems are typically faster, often completed in one day for single-zone installations or two days for multi-zone systems. Ducted systems may take two days, especially if we need to modify existing ductwork or run new electrical connections. The timeline can extend if permits are required or if we encounter unexpected issues with electrical capacity or structural modifications. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe during your estimate and keep you updated throughout the process.
Many Fremont homes can accommodate heat pump installation with their existing electrical systems, but some older homes may need electrical upgrades. Heat pumps typically require a dedicated 220V circuit, similar to an electric dryer or air conditioner. During our initial assessment, we evaluate your electrical panel’s capacity and condition. If upgrades are needed, we can coordinate with licensed electricians to ensure everything is properly sized and code-compliant. We’ll identify any electrical requirements upfront in your estimate, so there are no surprises during installation.
Heat pumps require minimal maintenance compared to traditional HVAC systems. You should change or clean filters monthly, keep outdoor units clear of debris, and have professional maintenance annually. This annual service includes cleaning coils, checking refrigerant levels, testing electrical connections, and verifying system performance. Because heat pumps have fewer moving parts than furnaces, they typically have fewer maintenance issues and longer lifespans. Most manufacturers recommend professional maintenance to keep warranties valid and ensure optimal efficiency. We offer maintenance plans that make it easy to stay on top of these requirements.
