Fontana Residential Heat Pump Installation

At #1 AC Guys, your Fontana heat pump installation is planned and executed by engineers who obsess over the details that protect comfort, air quality, and energy savings. As a fourth‑generation family business with 80+ years of engineering experience, we blend proven calculations with modern inverter technology to deliver steady temperatures, low operating costs, and healthier indoor air.

Engineer‑led design for Fontana homes

We start with a room‑by‑room Manual J load calculation, then match equipment using Manual S and design ducts with Manual D. That means the correct capacity, the right airflow, and smart zoning for your home’s orientation, insulation, windows, and usage patterns. The result is even comfort in summer heat and winter chill without short‑cycling or noise. Every project includes Title 24 compliance and permit handling for a stress‑free experience.

Systems we install

• Ducted air‑source heat pumps for whole‑home comfort with existing or new ducts.
• Ductless mini‑split and multi‑zone systems for additions, garages, home offices, and homes without ductwork.
• Variable‑speed, inverter‑driven units with modern SEER2/HSPF2 ratings for efficiency and quiet operation.
• Options for advanced filtration, humidification/dehumidification, and ERV/ventilation to support healthy air.

Our installation process

1) Consultation and assessment — We inspect your space, discuss comfort goals, and evaluate existing electrical and ductwork. 2) Load calculations and design — We engineer multiple options (ducted, ductless, or hybrid) with transparent pros, cons, and budgets. 3) Permits and scheduling — We handle paperwork and coordinate timelines around your calendar. 4) Installation — Clean workmanship, line‑set routing, drain management, vibration isolation, and meticulous flashing and sealing. 5) Commissioning — We verify airflow, static pressure, superheat/subcool, and controls so performance meets spec. 6) Handover — We walk you through operation, maintenance, and warranty support.

Rebates, incentives, and financing

Many Fontana homeowners qualify for savings. Federal tax credits under IRC 25C may offer up to $2,000 for qualifying heat pumps. California and local utility incentives (including programs like TECH Clean California and select rebates from providers serving the region) may be available; amounts and eligibility vary by equipment and utility. We’ll help you identify options and provide the documentation you need. Financing options are available for approved credit.

Health‑first indoor air

Our mission is healthy air for a healthy life. We prioritize low‑leakage ducts, right‑sized filtration (MERV 11–13+ as appropriate), and balanced ventilation. Ask about ERVs for fresh‑air exchange, advanced filtration for allergens, and humidity control to reduce mold risk and improve comfort.

Factory‑trained expertise

Our installers are factory‑trained at Fujitsu (Japan), Mitsubishi Electric (Thailand), Midea (China), Gree (China), and Haier (China) facilities. This hands‑on training shapes our standards for neat line‑set routing, proper evacuation, accurate charging, and robust control setup. We bring that precision to every Fontana project, residential and beyond.

Built for complex projects

From tight attics and long line‑sets to multi‑zone retrofits and partial electrification, our engineering background shines on difficult sites. We excel in large and complex homes where comfort balance, noise control, and aesthetics all matter. Expect thoughtful layout, discreet equipment placement, and predictable results.

Service area

We proudly serve homeowners in Fontana and neighboring communities, with coverage across Los Angeles County and nearby areas including Western Riverside County, Orange County, and Ventura County. If you’re near the Fontana area and unsure about coverage, reach out — we’ll do our best to help.

Frequently asked questions

Q: How long does a typical residential heat pump installation take?
A: Most single‑zone projects are completed in 1–2 days; multi‑zone or ducted retrofits may take longer, depending on scope and permitting.

Q: Will a heat pump keep my home warm in winter?
A: Modern inverter systems sized with Manual J perform efficiently in our climate, maintaining steady heat even on cooler nights.

Q: Can you integrate with my existing ducts?
A: Yes. We test and evaluate ducts for size and leakage, recommend sealing or modifications if needed, and then commission airflow to spec.

Q: What maintenance is required?
A: Replace or clean filters regularly, keep outdoor coils clear, and schedule annual professional tune‑ups to protect performance and warranty.
