Why Oren's HVAC Services for heat pumps
For homes with an aging furnace and no AC — common across older Oakland, Berkeley, and Alameda neighborhoods — a heat pump replaces the furnace and adds cooling in a single installation. We size every system with a proper load calculation and install it to perform.
One system, both seasons
A heat pump heats in winter and cools in summer — replacing a furnace-plus-AC pair with one efficient system. In the East Bay's climate, modern heat pumps handle both jobs well, coast and inland.
Built for California electrification
California utility and state programs increasingly favor electric heat pumps. We'll tell you which rebate programs may apply to your installation — and we never quote rebate numbers we can't verify for your address.
Smarter against PG&E costs
Heat pumps move heat instead of generating it, which makes them dramatically more efficient than electric resistance heating and competitive with gas — worth real money against current PG&E rates in our mild-winter climate.
Ducted or ductless — sized right
Central ducted heat pumps, multi-zone ductless systems, or hybrids — we design around your home's reality, not a one-size install. Ductless is ideal for older East Bay homes with no existing ducts.

Popular service areas
Heat Pumps — common questions
Do heat pumps actually heat well enough in winter?
In the East Bay, absolutely. Modern heat pumps deliver full heating capacity well below any temperature our coast or inland valleys see. The 'heat pumps don't heat' reputation comes from old equipment in cold climates — not our climate, not today's systems.
Are there rebates for heat pump installation?
California utility and state programs frequently offer heat pump incentives, and they change throughout the year. We'll tell you what currently applies to your specific installation — and we only quote rebates we can verify, never inflated marketing numbers.
Can a heat pump replace my furnace AND my AC?
Yes — that's exactly its job. One outdoor unit and one air handler replace both systems, usually using your existing ductwork if it's in good condition. We assess your ducts as part of every heat pump quote.
What's the difference between a ducted and ductless heat pump?
Ducted systems use your home's ductwork and look like a conventional setup. Ductless mini-splits serve individual rooms with no ducts at all — ideal for older East Bay homes, additions, and ADUs. Many homes do best with a mix, and we design both.
Is your heat pump installation done right?
Yes — we size and install to manufacturer specification as a licensed HVAC contractor, and the equipment carries the manufacturer's warranty. Correct sizing and installation are what make a heat pump perform.
