Professional Heat Pump Installation Near Brea, California
Professional Heat Pump Installation Near Brea, California
Quiet, efficient heating and cooling — installed the right way.
Great performance starts with correct load calculations, airflow, and charge. We evaluate your home’s heat gain/loss, ducts, electrical, and condensate routing, then recommend a code-compliant heat pump that keeps rooms comfortable in every season.
We install ducted central heat pumps, ductless mini-splits, and multi-zone systems. We also offer dual-fuel setups when a gas furnace is preferred for auxiliary heat.
What to Expect on Install Day
- Protect floors/work areas; review scope, locations, and thermostat settings
- Remove old equipment (AC/air handler/furnace if replacing)
- Set new outdoor unit and indoor air handler/coil or ductless heads & line sets
- Connect refrigerant lines, electrical, drain/condensate, and float safety
- Pressure test & evacuate to manufacturer spec
- Charge & commission: verify airflow, superheat/subcool, and defrost logic
- Seal & test duct connections (when part of scope)
- Thermostat configuration for heat pump/aux heat; homeowner walkthrough
- Clean up and review maintenance & warranty details
Most standard installs finish in one day.
Choosing the Right Heat Pump: Efficiency & Features
Efficiency Ratings
- SEER2 (cooling) and HSPF2 (heating) indicate energy performance. We’ll recommend the sweet spot for upfront cost vs. long-term savings in SoCal’s climate.
Compressor Type
- Single-stage: budget-friendly, reliable
- Two-stage: better comfort and humidity control
- Variable-speed (inverter): premium comfort, quietest operation, best efficiency
Air Handler / Blower
- ECM variable-speed blowers improve airflow, filtration, and noise control.
Thermostat & Controls
Heat-pump-aware smart thermostats manage staging, defrost, and auxiliary heat for smoother comfort.
Ducted vs. Ductless (Mini-Split) Heat Pumps
Add-Ons That Improve Comfort & Protection

Heat Pump Installation FAQs
How long does installation take?
Most standard central or single-zone ductless installs are one day. Multi-zone or duct changes can add time.
Do I need to replace my ducts?
Not always. We’ll inspect size, leakage, and static pressure. If ducts are undersized/leaky, we’ll recommend sealing or right-sizing.
Can I keep my gas furnace?
Yes. A dual-fuel setup pairs a heat pump with a gas furnace, using the most efficient heat source by temperature.
Will a heat pump work on cool coastal nights and warm summer days?
Yes — modern inverter heat pumps handle SoCal’s range well, providing efficient heating and cooling with quiet operation.
Do you pull permits?
Yes — where required. We install to local code and coordinate inspections.
Can you reuse my line set?
If it’s the correct size, clean, and in good condition, often yes; otherwise we’ll replace or flush to protect the new system.
How do I maintain my new heat pump?
Change filters on schedule, keep outdoor clearance, and schedule annual maintenance (one visit covering both modes works well).
