The Smarter Way to Heat and Cool Your Home

Monthly utility bills driving you nuts? Heat pumps are becoming more and more popular among San Ramon homeowners who want year-round comfort and significant energy savings. Heat pumps are up to three times more efficient than gas furnaces or electric heaters because they transfer heat instead of producing it. When it’s hot outside, your unit grabs warm air from inside your house and tosses it outdoors. When cold weather hits, it reverses its operation and pulls heat from outdoor air (even when it feels freezing) and pushes it inside your house.

Even at -15°F, modern heat pumps can function effectively. You’ll experience year-round comfort and energy savings because San Ramon winters rarely fall below 35°F.

Chill Heating & Cooling serves as an Authorized Carrier dealer. This gives you access to top-tier equipment backed by industry-leading warranties. Our heat pump replacement service includes detailed evaluations to determine the right system size and type for your home’s layout and heating needs.

Don't Let a Failing Heat Pump Catch You Off Guard

Since San Ramon weather stays mild year-round, systems run constantly, making maintenance more important than in places with extreme seasons.

Dust from nearby hills, oak pollen in spring, and normal wear can reduce efficiency and shorten equipment life without proper care. Here’s what most companies won’t tell you: a dirty filter alone can increase energy costs by 15%.

If your current unit is older, struggling to keep up, or breaking down too often, it might be time to consider a full heat pump replacement. Upgrading to a modern, high-efficiency system can dramatically improve performance, reduce energy bills, and prevent costly repairs down the line. We’ll help you determine if replacement is the smarter long-term option.

FAQ

Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers!

Getting professional service twice each year keeps everything running well:

  • March or April (before summer heat)
  • September or October (before winter cold)

Skip it and problems multiply fast, just like ignoring car maintenance.

Yes! Picture it like an air conditioner that runs backwards:

  • Summer: Moves hot air from inside to outside
  • Winter: Extracts heat from outside air and brings it inside

One piece of equipment handles both jobs all year. Perfect match for San Ramon’s weather.

Expect 15-20 years with good care. Three things determine how long yours lasts:

  • Getting professional maintenance twice each year
  • Swapping filters every month or two
  • Fixing minor problems before they get expensive

Ignore maintenance and expect 8-10 years maximum before needing a heat pump replacement.

Basic upkeep includes:

  • Change filters every 1-3 months (more often during the oak pollen season)
  • Clear the outdoor unit of leaves and plant growth
  • Get professional tune-ups twice each year
  • Pay attention to weird noises or performance drops

San Ramon’s year-round mild weather means systems work constantly. More runtime equals more maintenance needs.

Size matters most – too big wastes energy, too small won’t keep you comfortable. We calculate load requirements based on:

  • Square footage and ceiling height
  • Insulation quality and age
  • Window type, size, and orientation
  • Local climate data for San Ramon

While some contractors estimate, we take precise measurements and calculations to ensure the right fit.

Actually, most homeowners see 20-40% lower energy costs! Sure, equipment uses electricity, but it works three times more efficiently than electric furnaces or baseboard heaters. With San Ramon’s mild weather, you’ll spend less on utilities while staying comfortable all year.
