Heat Pumps — Common Questions
Yes. Fresno’s hot summers and mild winters are close to ideal for heat pumps — they cool as well as a high-SEER AC and heat efficiently in our rarely-freezing winters.
California TECH and HEEHRA rebates may apply. The federal 25C tax credit ended for equipment installed after December 31, 2025. We’ll help you identify what you qualify for during your free estimate.
Most residential heat pump installs fall in a range similar to a high-efficiency AC + furnace replacement, before rebates. We provide a free, written quote with financing options.
A heat pump is usually the most efficient all-in-one choice in the Central Valley, while a gas furnace can make sense for very cold climates. The write-up is heat pump vs. furnace in the Central Valley. We’ll help you compare based on your home and energy rates.
What a heat pump job includes
A heat pump is one outdoor system that cools and heats. On a replacement we confirm the electrical circuit, the line set, the indoor coil or air handler, condensate, and the thermostat, then charge to the manufacturer's spec. Sizing is a Manual J load calculation, the same method we describe for Clovis houses with tall ceilings, not a tonnage guess from square footage. The in-home estimate on a new system is free. You approve a written price before installation.
Call for a repair when the system will not cool, will not heat, ices up, or short-cycles. Those visits are the same diagnostic as any other cooling call: capacitor, contactor, airflow, refrigerant leak, or controls. We repair the leak instead of topping off. New heat pumps use a different refrigerant than older R-410A systems: what R-454B means in Fresno. Most repairs are scheduled the same day during business hours and finished in one visit when the part is on the truck. You get the time during the free estimate. A straightforward equipment swap is a single-day job on our AC installation schedule, which is usually 4 to 8 hours; duct changes take longer.
How much does a heat pump cost?
There is no heat-pump-only price menu. Complete system replacements invoiced over the past two years typically ran $7,300 to $19,300, median $15,300. A repair beyond the service call had a median of $479. The weekday service call is $75 and is credited when you approve the repair. Those invoice figures are on the pricing page. Financing is available. Ask us for options. Installations include a manufacturer 10-year parts warranty when the equipment is registered.
Which rebates still apply?
California programs such as TECH Clean California and HEEHRA may apply. The federal 25C tax credit ended for equipment installed after December 31, 2025. Amounts change, so we match equipment to programs that are still open during the estimate. The write-up is California HVAC rebates for 2026. For the repair-versus-furnace decision, see heat pump vs. furnace.
The same crews cover Fresno, Clovis, and Visalia. The cost article on the blog is heat pump cost in Fresno. When a blog range and the pricing page differ, the pricing page is what we invoiced. A written quote still comes first.
What it costs
We do not list a heat-pump-only price menu. The heat pump cost guide publishes $10,000–$18,000 installed. The new AC cost guide publishes a heat pump at $10,000–$16,000 before rebates. Both ranges are guides. A written quote comes first.
Complete system replacements invoiced over two years typically ran $7,300–$19,300, median $15,300 (pricing page). A repair uses the weekday service call of $75 on that page, or the $95 diagnostic stated in the AC repair cost guide — those are different diagnostic figures. A written quote comes first.
