Heat Pump Installation in California: what's different
Heat Pump Installation across California depends on the climate (IECC climate zones 2–6). Heat pumps are common in mixed climates and run year-round. Many homes pair them with a gas furnace as a dual-fuel system for the coldest days.
In California specifically: inland heat. Central Valley and Inland Empire homes need strong cooling in long, hot summers.
California licenses HVAC contractors through the Contractors State License Board (CSLB), usually under the C-20 Warm-Air Heating, Ventilating and Air-Conditioning classification. Ask any contractor for their license number before work starts, and expect a written price for heat Pump Installation.
PG&E, Southern California Edison, SDG&E and municipal utilities such as LADWP and SMUD supply electricity. SoCalGas, PG&E and SDG&E supply natural gas.
