Comprehensive Heat Pump Installation Services in the Inland Empire

The Inland Empire climate is one of the best environments for heat pump systems. IE winters are mild — Murrieta and Temecula rarely see temperatures below freezing — which means a heat pump operates near peak efficiency all season without backup heat strips running constantly. One system for heating and cooling, no gas required. View all heating services.

Standard Split Heat Pump

A central ducted heat pump replaces your existing furnace and air conditioner — same ductwork, same thermostat wiring, but all-electric operation and utility rebate eligibility.

  • Replaces Furnace + AC
  • Uses Existing Ductwork
  • SCE Rebate-Eligible
  • 16–20 SEER2 Efficiency

Ductless Mini-Split Heat Pump

For additions, garages, and rooms without ducts, a ductless heat pump delivers zoned heating and cooling with no ductwork modification required.

  • No Ductwork Required
  • Zoned Temperature Control
  • Quiet Indoor Unit
  • Ideal for Additions & ADUs

Heat Pump Sizing & Load Calc

A heat pump sized too small won't keep up on hot July afternoons. Too large and it short-cycles. We perform a Manual J calculation before selecting your unit.

  • Manual J Load Calculation
  • Duct Leakage Assessment
  • Electrical Panel Capacity Check
  • Brand-Neutral Recommendations

Heat Pump Repair & Service

Already have a heat pump that isn't heating or cooling properly? Our technicians diagnose refrigerant issues, reversing valve failures, and electrical faults.

  • Reversing Valve Diagnosis
  • Refrigerant Recharge
  • Defrost Board Testing
  • Capacitor & Contactor Repair

System Replacement

When Your Heating or Cooling System Needs Immediate Replacement

A failed air conditioner in July or a failed furnace in December are not situations that allow for weeks of research. When your system is beyond repair, a heat pump replacement can often be completed within 3–5 business days. Call us — we'll tell you honestly whether repair or replacement makes more sense.

Common Replacement Scenarios:

AC and furnace both aging — replace with one system
Furnace condemned — heat exchanger cracked
AC compressor failed — replacement more economical than repair
Going all-electric — eliminating gas service
Home addition or ADU needs zoned heating and cooling
Existing heat pump not heating or cooling properly
Reversing valve failure — system stuck in one mode
Heat pump refrigerant leak — not cooling or heating
