Heat Pump Installation in Livermore
Heat Pump Upgrades in the East Bay Region
Upgrading to a heat pump is a smart way to streamline your home's climate control. Instead of juggling a separate furnace and air conditioner, this single system handles everything. For many families in Livermore, this switch results in lower monthly bills and a significantly simpler maintenance schedule.
Eagle Air has been installing these systems in the Tri-Valley for a long time, well before they became a trend. We collaborate with trusted brands like Trane and Lennox to find the ideal solution for our local climate, and our NATE-certified team knows precisely how to optimize them for peak efficiency. Whether you are updating an older home or adding a new room, we can help you determine if a heat pump is the best choice for you.

Why Proper Heat Pump Sizing Matters
A heat pump has to handle both your summer cooling load and your winter heating load, which makes sizing more complex than a traditional air conditioner. In Livermore, the cooling demand during our 100-degree summers is usually the bigger challenge, but the system still needs to keep you warm on cold winter nights without running constantly or relying too heavily on backup heat.
Most heat pumps include electric resistance heating strips as a backup when outdoor temperatures drop low enough that the heat pump can't keep up on its own. These backup strips use significantly more electricity than the heat pump itself; therefore, proper sizing ensures they only run when necessary.
Eagle Air calculates your home’s heating and cooling requirements before recommending a system size, because getting these right impacts both your comfort and your energy costs for the next 15–20 years.

The Power of Two: Heat Pump & Furnace Integration
If you're not ready to eliminate gas heating entirely, a dual fuel system might make sense. This setup pairs an electric heat pump with your existing gas furnace, and a smart thermostat switches between them based on outdoor temperature. The heat pump handles heating duties during mild weather (typically above 35-40°F), operating efficiently and keeping your gas bills low. When temperatures drop below that point, the system automatically switches to the gas furnace.
This approach allows you to benefit from the heat pump’s efficiency for most of the season while still having the furnace available for the coldest nights. Eagle Air installs the heat pump coil on top of your existing furnace and programs the thermostat to automatically manage the switchover. You don’t have to think about it; the system automatically makes the change based on the fuel source that is best for the current conditions.

The Heat Pump Installation Process
The path to energy-efficient comfort begins with precise engineering rather than guesswork.
Before any equipment is ordered, our team performs a detailed load calculation to determine the exact heating and cooling requirements of your specific home layout. This step is vital in the Tri-Valley microclimate because an oversized unit will cycle on and off too frequently to control humidity, while an undersized unit will struggle to keep up during the 100-degree summer spikes. By "right-sizing" the system, we ensure your heat pump operates efficiently and maintains steady comfort year-round.
On the day of installation, our NATE-certified technicians arrive directly from our Livermore headquarters, where we maintain our own inventory of parts and equipment. This local logistics hub enables us to initiate your project fully prepared, thereby avoiding the delays common with contractors who rely on remote warehouses. Our field staff undergoes thorough background checks and drug testing, so you can be confident in the professionals entering your private space, knowing they are trustworthy and respectful of your property.
