Alpha Mechanical is your Sacramento heat pump installation expert — delivering properly sized, all-electric systems that keep your home comfortable year-round while cutting energy bills.
All-Electric Heating and Cooling
With Sacramento averaging 269 days of sunshine a year, more homeowners are pairing solar with all-electric heat pumps to offset high energy bills and lock in year-round comfort. California utility rebates and federal tax credits make now an especially strong time to switch — a properly sized heat pump system replaces both your furnace and AC with a single efficient unit. We install both fully all-electric heat pump systems and dual-fuel setups that pair a heat pump with an existing gas furnace.
When the temperatures become uncomfortable, it's crucial that your home has a properly sized heat pump that can perform to your needs. If your current unit isn't keeping up, our specialists for heat pump installation and replacement in Sacramento can help. Alpha Mechanical stands behind our dedication to superior craftsmanship and guarantees that your new system will keep you and your home comfortable, year-round.
When to Replace Your Heat Pump
Consider replacement if you're seeing any of these:
- Your system is 10-15 years old
- Frequent repairs and rising service bills
- Steadily rising energy bills
- Inconsistent heating or cooling between rooms
- Unusual noises, smells, or refrigerant leaks
- R-22 (Freon) refrigerant that's no longer available
For only a $89 diagnostic fee, we'll give you an honest appraisal of your current unit. We've had customers told to "replace the heat pump!" by other contractors when all they needed were new filters. We will not recommend a replacement when a simple repair will fix the issue. Before you make this important decision, read our replacement guidelines.
