Heat Pumps in Corte Madera

Heat Pump Types We Service in Corte Madera

Not every home or building calls for the same system. Our technicians work with multiple heat pump configurations, and we’ll recommend the right fit based on your property’s layout, existing infrastructure, and comfort goals.

Air-Source Heat Pumps
The most widely installed type. They transfer thermal energy between your home and the outdoor air using a refrigerant loop. Relatively straightforward to install and maintain, they perform well in the moderate temperatures typical of Marin County.

Mini-Split Heat Pumps
A ductless variation of the air-source system. Mini-splits work room by room without requiring ductwork, making them a practical solution for older homes, additions, or spaces where running ducts would be disruptive or costly. As a Mitsubishi Electric Diamond™ Elite Contractor, we install and service Mitsubishi’s full line of mini-split systems.

Ground-Source (Geothermal) Heat Pumps
These systems exchange heat with the ground through a buried refrigerant loop. Because ground temperatures stay consistent year-round, geothermal systems are highly efficient. Installation is more involved than an air-source system, but long-term operating costs reflect that investment.

Water-Source Heat Pumps
Used primarily in commercial or industrial buildings, water-source systems transfer heat through a water loop rather than air or ground. We service existing water-source installations for commercial clients throughout the Corte Madera area.

Heat Pump Water Heaters
Heat pump water heaters apply the same refrigerant-cycle technology to heat domestic water at a fraction of the energy cost of a conventional electric water heater. They may qualify for rebates under current California incentive programs and are one of the faster-payback upgrades available to homeowners right now.

Financial Incentives for Heat Pumps in California

The incentive landscape has shifted recently, but savings opportunities still exist depending on your situation and timing. Here’s a current snapshot:

• Federal Tax Credit: The Inflation Reduction Act’s 25C Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit, which provided up to $2,000 for qualifying heat pump installations, expired December 31, 2025, under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Homeowners who installed a qualifying system in 2025 or earlier can still claim the credit on their 2025 tax return. New installations in 2026 and beyond don’t qualify. Consult a tax advisor for details.
• TECH Clean California Rebate: This state program has offered significant rebates for qualifying heat pump systems, with additional incentives for low-income households and multifamily properties. Single-family incentives are currently fully reserved, but the program operates on a phased funding model, and new rounds have historically opened within months. Ask us about current availability when you request your estimate.
• Utility Rebates: Many local utilities offer rebates ranging from $100 to $3,000 depending on the equipment and qualifying criteria (EnergySage).

Incentive programs change frequently, and eligibility depends on the specific equipment installed. Our team stays current on available programs and can walk you through what applies to your project during the estimate process.
