One Heat Pump in Place of Two Systems
A heat pump conversion Antelope CA homeowners ask about swaps your gas furnace and old AC for one heat pump that heats and cools. SMUD pays up to $3,000 for a qualifying variable stage system and $2,000 for two stage, when a SMUD Contractor Network member installs it with a Wi Fi thermostat.
This page is for homeowners who want to leave gas behind, and for anyone whose furnace and AC are both old. If you are weighing the idea of how to electrify my home Sacramento utilities now support, a conversion is usually the biggest single step.
What a Heat Pump Conversion Includes
A conversion has more steps than a normal swap, because the gas side has to be closed out safely. Here is the full list.
- Visit and load calculation: The tech inspects the home and sizes the new system with a Manual J calculation.
- Panel and circuit check: We confirm panel space and breaker size, and note whether a new 240 volt circuit is needed.
- Rebate check: We confirm whether your home and equipment may qualify before you commit.
- Written quote: You see the price and the net cost after the rebate, side by side.
- Furnace removal and gas cap: The furnace comes out, and the gas line is capped at the appliance.
- Heat pump install: The air handler and outdoor unit are set, the flue is sealed and the thermostat is installed.
- HERS test and rebate filing: A rater tests the system, and the contractor files the rebate paperwork.
Why Conversion Fits Antelope Homes
Most Antelope homes get power from SMUD and gas from PG&E, so the local rebate rules apply to many neighbors. These are the main reasons homeowners choose to switch.
- SMUD service area: If your electric bill comes from SMUD, you can look at the rebate. Roseville and Rocklin homes use different utilities.
- Mild winters: A heat pump can heat a home cheaply when mornings are frosty but rarely harsh.
- Two old systems: Many 1990s homes have a furnace and AC of the same age, and one new heat pump replaces both.
How We Handle a Gas to Electric Switch
Each conversion follows the same seven steps. You know the plan before we start, and the price is in writing before we order equipment.
- Home visit: A tech checks the furnace, the ducts, the panel and the gas line, then asks about your goals and your bills.
- Quote with rebate math: You get options in writing, with the rebate and the net cost shown, and no pressure to decide that day.
- You approve: Once you choose, we order equipment and set a date that suits your schedule.
- County permit: We pull the Sacramento County permit before any work begins.
- Install in one to two days: The crew removes the furnace, caps the gas, sets the heat pump and tests the system.
- HERS test and final: A rater tests the install, and the county inspector gives final approval.
- Rebate filed: The contractor files the rebate paperwork, and you get a copy for your records.
What Changes in Your Home
Most homeowners want to know what will look different after a conversion. The list is short, and we explain each change on the visit so nothing surprises you on install day.
- Gas furnace out: The old furnace is removed, and an air handler goes in its place or nearby.
- Gas line capped: The line is capped at the appliance, while a gas stove, dryer or water heater can stay on gas.
- Old flue sealed: The unused flue is capped or removed so it does not leak air or let in pests.
- New circuit if needed: Some homes need a new 240 volt circuit, and we check your panel before quoting.
- New thermostat: A Wi Fi smart thermostat is part of the SMUD requirements, and we set it up for you.
