ComfortFlow HVAC Palo Alto installs heat pumps and services AC and furnaces in Los Altos, CA. Los Altos homes are served by PG&E with Silicon Valley Clean Energy as the default provider, and the City of Los Altos has offered its own heat pump appliance rebates. Larger homes here often need two systems or zoning, which we design with a room-by-room load calculation.
Los Altos is known for its large lots, ranch and California-modern homes, and a charming downtown. Many homes have been remodeled and expanded, and a lot of them have outgrown the HVAC system they started with. It’s also a city where homeowners are actively electrifying, with local incentives to help.
A Los Altos
homeowner checklist
Five things that make the first conversation faster and the recommendation more accurate.
- Check City of Los Altos and SVCE incentive pages
- Measure your home’s conditioned square footage
- Note which wings or floors feel different
- Find your panel size and any planned EV charging
- Ask for a duct test before replacing equipment
Planning a Los Altos heat pump project
- Incentives. The City of Los Altos has offered heat pump appliance rebates, and Silicon Valley Clean Energy has offered heat pump HVAC incentives. Programs open and close, so we check current availability at the start of your project.
- Size and zoning. Remodeled homes of 3,000 square feet or more often need two systems or a zoned design. One oversized system rarely keeps every room comfortable.
- Ducts in good shape? Older ranch homes may have ducts that are 40 or 50 years old. Testing them before the install avoids disappointing results.
- Permits. Mechanical permits go through the City of Los Altos building division.
