Ductless Heat Pump Installation Marin County

Installation Done Right From Start to Finish

Heat pump installation in Marin County starts with proper system sizing based on your home’s specific needs, not rough estimates. We perform detailed load calculations to determine exactly what capacity your space requires.

Next, we handle any necessary electrical work, including panel upgrades if needed. Many Marin County homes built before 2000 need electrical improvements to support modern heat pump systems, and we coordinate everything so you don’t have to manage multiple contractors.

Installation day involves setting the outdoor unit, connecting refrigerant lines, and installing or connecting to your indoor air handling system. We test everything thoroughly, walk you through the system operation, and help you submit rebate paperwork to maximize your savings. The entire process typically takes one to two days, depending on your home’s specific requirements.

How much does heat pump installation cost in Marin County?

Heat pump installation in Marin County typically ranges from $3,289 to $11,842, depending on system size, efficiency rating, and installation complexity. Central ducted systems average $12,000 to $13,000, while ductless mini-split systems typically cost $10,000 to $12,000.

Marin County homeowners can access multiple rebate programs for heat pump installation. The Electrify Marin program offers rebates from $250 to $1,000 for standard installations, with income-qualified households eligible for up to $4,500.

Additional rebates are available through TECH Clean California ($1,000), MCE Clean Energy programs, and federal tax credits. However, the Electrify Marin program is expected to exhaust its funding by October 2025, so timing matters for maximizing your savings.

We help you identify all applicable rebates and handle the paperwork submission process to ensure you receive every dollar you’re entitled to.

Yes, Marin County’s mild, temperate climate is ideal for heat pump systems. Unlike regions with extreme cold where heat pumps struggle, Marin County’s moderate temperatures allow these systems to operate efficiently year-round.

Heat pumps work by transferring heat rather than generating it, and they perform best when outdoor temperatures stay above 25°F. Since Marin County rarely experiences prolonged freezing conditions, your heat pump will maintain consistent efficiency throughout winter months.

The mild climate also means you won’t need backup heating systems that add complexity and cost to installations in colder regions.

Most heat pump installations in Marin County take one to two days, depending on system complexity and your home’s existing infrastructure. Simple replacements where electrical and ductwork are already in place can often be completed in a single day.

Installations requiring electrical panel upgrades, new ductwork, or multiple indoor units for ductless systems may take two to three days. We coordinate all aspects of the installation so you’re not dealing with multiple contractors or extended disruptions.

We provide a clear timeline during your initial consultation and keep you informed of progress throughout the installation process.

Ducted heat pump installation connects to your home’s existing ductwork to provide heating and cooling throughout the entire house via your current air distribution system. This option works well if you already have ducts in good condition.

Ductless mini-split installation involves mounting individual air handlers in specific rooms or zones, with each connected to an outdoor unit via refrigerant lines. This option provides precise temperature control for different areas and works perfectly for homes without existing ductwork.

Both systems offer excellent efficiency, but ductless systems often provide better energy savings because they eliminate the air leakage that can occur in ductwork systems.

Many Marin County homes, particularly those built before 2000, require electrical panel upgrades for heat pump installation. Heat pumps typically need 220-volt circuits and sufficient amperage capacity that older electrical systems may not provide.

During our initial assessment, we evaluate your current electrical system to determine if upgrades are necessary. About 11% of heat pump installations require panel upgrades, according to regional data, but rebates are often available to help offset these costs.

We handle all electrical work as part of the installation process, so you don’t need to coordinate with separate electrical contractors or worry about code compliance issues.
