What to expect from LC Heating & Air
### Why Heat Pumps Make Sense for Los Angeles Los Angeles is arguably the best climate in the country for heat pump systems. Heat pumps work by moving heat rather than generating it β in cooling mode they move heat from inside to outside (exactly like a standard AC); in heating mode they extract heat from the outdoor air and bring it inside. The efficiency of a heat pump in heating mode decreases as outdoor temperatures drop β but in LA, temperatures rarely drop below the range where heat pumps perform at peak efficiency. This makes the efficiency advantage of heat pumps over gas furnaces particularly pronounced in our climate.
Overview
### The Financial Case Right Now California's TECH Clean California program offers rebates of $3,000+ for qualifying heat pump installations. Federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act provide an additional 30% credit (up to $2,000) for qualifying heat pump systems. At current SoCalGas rates, a heat pump replacing a gas furnace saves money every heating season. The combination of incentives and operating savings makes heat pump installation more financially compelling in California right now than it has ever been.
### What Heat Pump Installation Involves For a central heat pump system, the installation is nearly identical to a central AC and furnace installation β an outdoor unit (the heat pump), an air handler, and refrigerant line sets connecting them. We assess your ductwork, perform a Manual J load calculation for both heating and cooling, select appropriately sized equipment, pull required permits, and commission the system. For ductless mini split heat pump systems, the installation is the same as a standard mini split.
### All Types of Heat Pump Systems We install central ducted heat pump systems, ductless mini split heat pumps, and dual-fuel systems (heat pump paired with a gas furnace for backup on rare cold nights). We present all options with honest analysis of which best fits your home's characteristics and your financial situation.

What customers say about heat pump installation
Verified reviews from Los Angeles homeowners who used our heat pump installation service.
βSwitched from gas furnace to a heat pump after talking to LC. They handled the TECH Clean California paperwork and we got a $2,500 rebate plus the federal tax credit. Total out of pocket was about $5,500 for a system that now heats and cools. Gas bill went to zero.β
βLC installed a Carrier heat pump for our 1,800 sq ft home. They evaluated, provided three options with rebate breakdowns, and installed in one day. Our combined heating/cooling costs dropped about 25%.β
βWe were skeptical about a heat pump for heating in the winter but LC explained the technology clearly. After one winter season, our home stays warmer than it ever did with the old furnace, and it's quieter too.β
