Fast, reliable service! My 2-year-old air conditioner started running hot, on a day when the forecast high was 98 degrees! Fortunately Airmech was able to fit me in. Alejandro was very professional and pleasant, and showed me what the issues were.

First of all, the receptionist was very friendly and quickly arranged for Alex to come that same day. He came in right away and explained clearly and thoroughly about what the problem is, what he can do. He was very professional and even wore the shoe covers.

What a Gas to Electric Heat Pump Conversion Involves

A conversion swaps your natural gas furnace for an electric heat pump. Instead of burning gas to make heat, a heat pump moves it, pulling warmth inside in winter and carrying it out in summer. The job includes removing the furnace, safely capping its gas line, and installing an outdoor unit with a matched indoor air handler. Many homes keep their existing ducts, and other gas appliances can stay as they are.

How Elk Grove Weather Affects a Heat Pump

Elk Grove and the rest of the Sacramento area see long stretches in the 90s with occasional 100-degree days, and a properly sized heat pump cools just like central air. Winters are mild by comparison, with nights that usually dip into the 30s. That range is right where a modern heat pump heats efficiently.

The bigger winter factor is moisture. Tule fog and damp mornings can frost the outdoor coil, so the system runs short defrost cycles to clear it. That is normal, and good placement and drainage handle it.

Benefits of Replacing Your Gas Furnace With a Heat Pump

One system covers heating and cooling, so there is less equipment to maintain. Because a heat pump moves heat rather than burning fuel, it uses energy more efficiently and eliminates gas use for space heating. Variable-speed Trane systems run longer at lower speeds, keeping temperatures steady and noise down. Rebates and flexible financing make the upgrade easier on your budget.

SMUD Heat Pump Conversion Rebates

SMUD serves homeowners in Elk Grove and Sacramento, and qualifying projects may receive up to $7,000 in combined rebates. That maximum combines a gas-to-electric HVAC conversion with a gas-to-electric water heater conversion. Your actual amount depends on the equipment you choose, your eligibility, and available SMUD funding. Our team will review your existing equipment, proposed heat pump system, and installation requirements to help determine which incentives may apply. Final eligibility and any available invoice discount will be confirmed in your written proposal.

What Your Conversion Will Cost

Cost depends on the heat pump model, system size, duct condition, and any electrical work. A home that can reuse its ducts and panel costs less than one needing upgrades. Your written proposal spells out the equipment, furnace removal, gas line capping, electrical and ductwork, permits, and rebates before you commit.

Our Heat Pump Conversion Process

Every electric heat pump installation starts with a home assessment of your furnace, AC, ducts, insulation, and electrical panel. We run a Manual J load calculation to size the system, then walk you through Trane options that are a good fit for your home. Our licensed technicians remove the old equipment, cap the gas line, and install your new system. We test both modes, then walk you through your thermostat and maintenance.
