Which system fits your home
It mostly comes down to whether the house already has ducts.
Ducts and an old gas furnace
Typical of postwar homes, as in Walnut Creek. Options: a new gas furnace, a ducted heat pump, or a dual-fuel system with both.
No ductwork
Typical of prewar homes in Berkeley. Ductless mini-split heat pumps heat room by room without running ducts.
Radiators or a boiler
Common in older Marin homes. We repair boilers and radiant heating systems. A ductless heat pump can also heat rooms alongside the existing system.
Permits and warranty
Permit and city inspection
In California, replacing a furnace or heat pump requires a permit. On our recent jobs the permit and city inspection line was $1,350 in Moraga and $1,450 in Brentwood.
