Residential Heat Pump Installation in Los Angeles

Engineered Residential Heat Pump Solutions for Los Angeles

At #1 AC Guys, residential heat pump installation is led by a 4th‑generation family of engineers with 80+ years of engineering experience. That depth shows in the details—accurate Manual J load calculations, duct design that preserves airflow and acoustics, and inverter heat pumps that deliver stable temperatures with minimal energy use. Our mission is healthy air for healthy living, so every design prioritizes filtration, ventilation options, and balanced humidity.

Our factory‑trained background includes hands‑on training at the manufacturers’ facilities—Fujitsu (Japan), Mitsubishi Elektrik (Thailand), Midea (China), Gree (China), and Hier (China). This direct product expertise helps us configure systems that fit your home’s architecture, electrical capacity, and comfort goals without guesswork.

What to Expect From Our Installation Process

• Discovery and assessment: We evaluate your home’s orientation, insulation, windows, and existing ducts, then perform precise load calculations.
• Options and pricing: We present clear choices—ducted, ductless mini‑split, or hybrid layouts—explaining comfort, noise, efficiency, and cost.
• Permits and code: We handle local permitting and ensure full code compliance across Los Angeles County and neighboring regions.
• Clean, careful installation: Protecting floors and finishes, optimizing line‑set runs, and commissioning your system for peak performance.
• Walkthrough and verification: We verify airflow, refrigerant charge, and controls, and show you how to use your new system for best results.

Every project concludes with commissioning readings and a performance check, so you know your system is delivering what we promised.

Ducted vs. Ductless Heat Pumps

We install both to meet different needs:

• Ducted heat pumps: Great for whole‑home comfort and clean aesthetics, especially when ducts are in good shape or can be upgraded.
• Ductless mini‑splits: Perfect for additions, ADUs, townhomes, and rooms with hot/cold spots—zoned control without major remodeling.
• Mixed systems: Combine ducted for common areas with ductless for hard‑to‑condition spaces to balance comfort and budget.

Inverter technology provides precise temperature control and quieter operation, helping stabilize comfort while managing energy use.

Indoor Air Quality Comes Standard

Because our mission is healthy air at home, we design for filtration and ventilation from day one. Options include high‑MERV filtration, dedicated fresh air strategies, and smart controls that monitor and improve indoor conditions.
Better air, fewer drafts, and balanced humidity add up to comfort you can feel.

Tailored for Los Angeles Homes

From coastal condos to canyon properties and hillside homes, we’ve solved the challenges of long refrigerant runs, tight mechanical spaces, and architectural constraints. Our team is adept at planning aesthetically sensitive installations—careful placement of outdoor units, tidy line‑set routing, and acoustic considerations for quiet living.

Permits, Safety, and Code Compliance

We secure the proper permits and follow current codes throughout Los Angeles County, as well as Orange County, Ventura County, and Western Riverside County. Our engineers ensure electrical, condensate, clearances, and mounting details meet specifications for safe, dependable operation.

Energy, Incentives, and Smart Controls

Modern residential heat pumps can help reduce energy use compared to older systems, especially in SoCal’s climate. Your project may qualify for utility or state incentives—our team can guide you on next steps and documentation as available.
