Signs You Need a Heat Pump
A heat pump is not the answer for every house, but these signs often point that way.
-
AC and furnace both aging: When your AC and gas furnace are both past 12 to 15 years, replacing two old systems with one heat pump can cost less than replacing each one separately.
-
High gas bills: Gas is the most common heating fuel in Davis, and winter bills climb fast. A heat pump moves heat instead of burning fuel, so gas use drops and the furnace line can be capped.
-
Solar panels on the roof: Many Davis homes already have solar. A heat pump runs on electricity, so credits from your panels can offset the power it uses in winter and summer.
-
A home with no AC: Older Davis homes often have only a wall heater or window units. A ducted or ductless heat pump adds cooling and heating in one project, with one permit and one crew.
-
Plans to go all electric: Davis has a reach code that pushes new homes toward all electric. If you want to follow that path in your own home, a heat pump replaces the furnace and the AC at once.
-
A gas leak worry: If you smell gas, leave the home and call your gas utility first. Once it is safe, a heat pump removes one gas appliance from the house, which leaves fewer to watch.

Why Heat Pumps Fit Davis Homes
Davis has hot summers, mild winters and a lot of rooftop solar, which suits a heat pump well. A few local facts show why.
Mild winters
Fog season runs November through March, and only a few nights a year drop below freezing, so a modern heat pump has little trouble keeping up.
Hot summers
The July average high is 97°F, and a normal summer brings 15 to 20 days at 100°F or more, so the same unit that heats also cools hard.
A gas heavy housing stock
Utility gas is the most common heating fuel in Davis, and many owners now want to move off it.
A reach code
Davis pushes new homes toward all electric, and owners of older homes often follow.
Older panels
Many 1960s and 1970s Davis homes have 100 amp panels, so we check capacity before we quote.
Smoke season and heat waves
A ducted heat pump moves air through a good filter, which helps when smoke drifts in during late summer and the AC runs all day.
