Serving East Contra Costa
Blue Star is based on Wilbur Avenue in Antioch, and East Contra Costa is our home turf, from Pittsburg and Bay Point to Oakley, Brentwood, Discovery Bay and the Delta towns. Most East County homes heat with gas furnaces, but in Bethel Island, Knightsen and Byron many rely on propane or electric heat, which makes heat pumps a natural upgrade. Many statewide heat pump rebates are closed for 2026, so when we quote we check what's still open for your address, such as PG&E and MCE programs (depending on your city) and BayREN's income-qualified EASE Home program.

Questions before you call
Should I replace my furnace with another furnace or a heat pump?
A heat pump heats and cools in one system and qualifies for more incentives; a gas furnace costs less up front if your AC still works. The Bay Area Air District's zero-NOx standard for new furnaces is scheduled for 2029, so we'll price both.
Do I need a permit to replace a furnace in East Contra Costa?
Yes. A mechanical permit is required - in East Contra Costa it comes from your city's building division, or Contra Costa County for Bay Point, Discovery Bay, Byron, Knightsen and Bethel Island. We handle it.
How long does a furnace replacement take?
Most straight furnace swaps take a day. Moving the unit, changing fuel type or adding a heat pump can take longer.
