Heat pumps in Woodland Hills
One system for cooling and heating, sized for both ends of the Valley's weather.
A heat pump in Woodland Hills has to handle both ends of the Valley: August near 97°F and January nights in the low 40s.
The Pierce College station records both. That makes sizing the main job: a system chosen for the cooling load usually covers the heating comfortably, but we check both with a load calculation.
Where heat pumps fit in Woodland Hills
Warner Center apartments
In ZIP 91367, 43% of homes heat with electricity already. A heat pump replaces old electric heat and the air conditioner at once.
Gas furnace houses
In the older ranch-house streets, a heat pump can replace the furnace and the AC when both are due.
LADWP rebate
LADWP's Consumer Rebate Program includes heat pump systems, applied for after installation. Check the current terms first.
Ducted or ductless
Ducted where the ducts are sound; mini splits for rooms and units without them.
Before you switch
We check the electrical panel, the ducts and where the outdoor unit can sit. Replacing gas heat adds electrical load, so the panel decides what is possible. Permits go through LADBS, with the same climate zone 9 tests as an AC installation.
If you would rather keep gas heat, our furnace repair page covers the heating side, and a heat pump that is not cooling is diagnosed much like an air conditioner on our AC repair page.

Yes, when it is sized for it. August highs average 97.4°F at Pierce College, and we size from a load calculation.
Is there an LADWP rebate for heat pumps?
LADWP's Consumer Rebate Program includes heat pump HVAC systems for residential customers; it is applied for after installation.
Will a heat pump keep us warm in January?
Yes. January lows average about 43°F, well within a modern heat pump's range.
Thinking about a heat pump? We will check the panel and the house.
